NEWS: Guangzhou Asian Games 2010

2008-09-24T16:40:00.001+08:00

The Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee (GAGOC) will recruit as many as 60,000 volunteers during an upcoming Asian Games 2010, an official said. Prior to the Games, the GAGOC will also recruit about 1,000 volunteers, who will be arranged to give assistance in different departments within the organizing committee, said Xu Ruisheng, vice mayor of Guangzhou.

In terms of volunteering work, Beijing has shown us a good example to integrate social assistance for the Beijing Olympic Games. And now, we are calling on the public to actively take part in the volunteer services for the upcoming Asian Games in 2010," Xu said at the launching ceremony of the volunteer recruitment.

罗秋俊先生献词

全国阳光青年总执行长兼

马来西亚赴北京奥运志工筛选委员会主席

身为全国阳光青年总执行长兼马来西亚赴北京2008奥运志工筛选委员会主席，我非常高兴看到我国奥运志工们在刚过去中国奥运会上的积极付出与卓越表现。马来西亚中国领事馆以及北京奥运筹委会也同时表扬大马10位志工。

我们大马人对于他们的优越表现感到自豪，这一批年介于24至39岁的6女4男青年志工都是来自不同的领域专才，并从240位报名者当中经过数次考验后脱颖而出。各个都在不同领域上表现出色，又富有一种奉献的伟大情操，在自费的前提下，愿意停下满整个月的工作无条件般的成为自愿工作者，令人赞赏。

而且大马是全世界谨932名海外志工当中参与志工名额最高的国家，而且他们的赛会任务都是属于专业技术方面的，除了代表大马义务志工，他们也携带了许多由大马旅游部提供的资讯和纪念品赴京，将大马的美名传播到神洲和全世界。

他们的志工经验对大马来说非常有价值的，因为有朝一日大马举办国际性赛会时，他们的宝贵经验一定能为母国作出贡献。最后我荣幸见证他们的付出，希望他们继续努力，而我们将会在未来的各国体坛盛会派出更多的优秀志工参与。

马来西亚能！大马志工能！

Message from the CEO of Sunshine Youth Malaysia, Mr Loh Chew June.

"As CEO of Sunshine Youth Malaysia cum Malaysian Olympic Volunteer selection committee chairman. I am glad to see our volunteers and their outstanding performance during beijing olympic 2008. Our 10 MOVS received high remarks from the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia and also from the Beijing Olympic Council as well."

"As malaysian, we are proud of our volunteers performance. They are not only volunteers but also inevitably carry the invisible duty as Tourism Malaysia ambassidor in Beijing, by helping to distribute Visit Malaysia flyers to various participants throughout the Olympic Games."

"MOVS, I am really proud of you. Keep it up and we are planning to send more volunteers to others major sports events in the near future.

Malaysia boleh ! MOVS boleh !"

2008-09-09T21:05:00.005+08:00

hi all, movs and strangers included,
its fei wen here.
i dont know if u get the same response so far,
after your return from beijing,
many people are keen to learn about ur experience,
look at your photos and admire ur courage,
appreciate your work, and wish to know how they
can also experience a once in a lifetime experience?
i think its really meaningful, to be able to share,
hehe, dont scold me BUT like i always say, haha!!
"little things that we do has such big positive effect
to even people we dont know! :)"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i was just writing a msg to a friend,
and i realize how much i wanted her to realize
and participate this volunteer experience as well,
Personally,
i think sports are the easiest to accommodate,
cos it brings and unite people together,
objective is important and personal interest,
you can choose to volunteer in charity organization
such as mercy malaysia or world vision program,
but because i know i cant handle the idea
that people is suffering in front of me,
and i cant help them, i'd be devastated,
and also because im not confident with charity org,
i even use to consider to voluneer in U.N.
but because i dont have a specific skill
that seem to fit the picture (& no confidence)
i've long let the idea pass, and i realize the hyper me
are more suitable for outdoor and people oriented
events such as SPORTS!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW,these are the sports events i would be looking at,
if i was not chosen as volunteer for the Beijing Olympics.
These are linked to the official or volunteers site,
please mouse over the words if you wish,
please note that with smaller sports events
you might NOT SEE a volunteers site.
that doesn't mean you have no way at all!
it means you have to put in extra effort!
to find the contact yourself :) BUT BE WISE!
World Games 2009, Kaohsiung, Taiwan (July)
SEA Games 2009, Laos, (December)
Olympic Winter Games 2010, Vancouver, Canada (Feb)
World Cup 2010, South Africa (June-July)
Asian Games 2010, Guangzhou, China (November)
Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi (October)
London Summer Olympics, 2012 (July/August)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So....what do you like?
be wise, be confident
impossible is nothing
(Adidas slogan!! haha)

Xie Xie, Thank You, Terima Kasih, Merci Beaucoup, Obrigada, Arigato, Hapkhunka, Kamsahameeda, Nandree

MSG to KHAITZONG

2008-09-08T09:20:00.002+08:00

Hi Khaitzong,

this is feiwen here, saw your msg from themovs.blogspot chat box.
just thought i'd write u a brief email. not that i can help you,
but here's what u can do to keep yourself updated regarding the London Olympics 2012. :) :) :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
whatever volunteer or plans you wish to embark on, first, KNOW YOUR OBJECTIVE.

ask yourself, what is your objective? before you consider anything further, with a clear objective, you will see a clearer direction for yourself, do you know your objective?

Another important tips, every volunteer experience is unique. :)
Even between the 10 of us, we have 101 and different story to share!
So be it volunteering in sports, charity, kids, homeless, animal, etc....
You may realize you're good at something that you've never realize before!

After thinking abt your objective, you can maybe start with babysteps,
like below, thats what i would do, if i were to plan for London Olympics 2010,
its NOT a full proof plan, its only a guide though im sure you can do better. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. keep checking the London Olympics 2012 official website, at the moment, the recruitment has not started yet.
2. if u have yahoo email or gmail, you can subscribe to their News Alert Services,(not sure if hotmail provides it, its a lousy email tool anyway!) news alerts are very helpful. just put in the keywords 'london olympics volunteer' it will generate international and local news related to the keywords
3. Do visit out blog once in a while, we may not have any updates now as these are all still under planning, it will take some time, do be patient, but we shall update our blog if we do come across any related news.
4. In the meantime, there are many other volunteers event locally, you could get yourself involved with local organization or take up a skill, if you're interested to experience different kinds of experience, and not just go straight to the olympics, you can try out this few sports events, but first,here's a tip, do not discriminate any volunteer role, because if you do, you wont be able to appreaciate it. :)
5. Sukma Malaysia is a good place to start, though they will usually recruit their local state volunteers because no accomodation will be provided, i think you're 22 years old right? So, I would highly recommend the coming Sea Games 2009, in Laos. that im sure will be very challenging. If not, the coming World Games 2009 in KaoHsiung, Taiwan, is great too! Of course the Asian Games 2010 in Guangzhou, which is one of our main plans actually. Another international world event that you can also consider is the World Cup 2010 in South Africa (im considering this option at the moment! even tho i dont understand football, but hey, thats challenging) and then the London Olympics 2012, do you see my point? yes, you definitely have a long way to go, but that doesnt mean you cannot try other events first for experience wise. :) and like i say, one thing always leads to another.... as long as you keep doing something, its an effort and you will have result... :)

keep in touch!

别了，水立方！别了，北京奥运！

2008-09-03T02:02:00.004+08:00

八月31日晚上10.30pm 终于平安抵达马来西亚。我的国家，我的家。
回到家第一件事就抱起我那3个月大的儿子，Oh My God ! 他竟然认不出我，大声哭了起来。这也难怪他认不出我，整整一个月没见过我。

回想起这一个月，可说是我人生这三十年里最毕生难忘的经历。

作为水立方的志愿者我们每个人都是幸福的 :) 。
水立方就像是我们头上灿烂的星空，而我就是银河里的一颗星。
我们有个共同的名字，叫做志愿者；
我们有个共同的梦想，叫做奥运；
我们有一样共同的期待，叫做圣火；
我们有着一种共同的精神，叫着奉献。

2001年七月13日：我们赢了！
那个时候，我们都还只是个乳臭未干的青年。我在马来西亚，你在北京，他在美国，却在各自陌生的街头，为同样的理由欢呼。没有鸟巢，也没有水立方，我们的缘分，却已在那时悄悄埋下。

2003年12月24日：水立方破土动工
水立方和鸟巢同时开工奠基，从而拉开了2008年北京奥运会体育场馆建设的序幕。
现在才发现，水立方是圣诞老人送给我们的珍贵礼物。

2006年8月28日：奥运会志愿招募工作正式开始

2007年11月24日：水立方志愿者面试工作开始

2008年1月21日：第一批志愿者踏入水立方

2008年7月10日：赛会志愿者录取通知书发放

2008年7月19日：水立方全场馆志愿者培训

2008年7月27日：水立方奥运志愿者正式上岗

2008年8月2日：水立方华人华侨志愿者正式上岗
有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。作为唯一一座由华人华侨捐资兴建的场馆，水立方敞开怀抱，欢迎华人华侨志愿者的到来，而我这一生难忘的经历也有幸在这开始了。。

2008年8月8日：北京奥运会开幕
这一夜，我们散落在北京的各个角落，一同抬头眺望漫天绽放的烟火。

2008年8月9日：水立方奥运会赛事正式开始
天呀！布什！比尔盖茨！何振梁！陆克文！科比！詹姆斯！！。。。。
谁也没想到，我们的奥运之旅开始的如此高潮。

2008年8月10日：水立方奥运会首金诞生
菲尔普斯打破男子400米混合泳世界纪录，并夺取本届奥运会“水立方” 首颗金牌。
水立方是幸运的，她见证了一个体育神话的诞生。

2008年8月10日：水立方中国首金诞生
郭晶晶／吴敏霞夺得女子双人三米板金牌，为中国跳水梦之队旗开得胜。很奇怪，水立方里第一次升起五星旗，却没有想象中那么激动，也许这块金牌，得到的太过顺利吧！

2008年8月17日：菲尔普斯拿下第八颗金牌
单届奥运会获得金牌数最多，累计获得奥运金牌数最多。我们和水立方一起见证了新的超人的诞生。要知道，这也许是世界体育史至今为止最辉煌的一刻。

2008年8月17日：奥运会游泳比赛结束
25项新的世界纪录留在了水立方。在世人眼中，水立方成为了一个神奇的魔方。
从那天开始，开始有志愿者结束服务，离开水立方。

2008年8月23日：奥运会跳水和花式游泳比赛结束
忽然意识到，也许今天之后我们中的很多人（包括我自己），就不能再次进入这个已经熟悉得不能再熟悉的地方了。就像一个认识多年的老朋友，今天之后，就要离开，而在见面，已不知何时？？

2008年8月23日：北京奥运会闭幕
要离别，相顾无言，只有满满的祝福。我们在一起度过的这段难忘时光，会一直在我们的记忆里，永不风干。

别了，水立方！别了，北京奥运！

i guess we really dont have much CURRENT stuff to update,

but we could be NOSTALGIC and look back to the

past few weeks that just flew past us in a blink!

these are some of the things that we do,

Multitasking Crew are the best crew,
When the weather is hot, we deliver water,

When its raining, we can stand in for you,

we are the "chao ji wu di sai ya xiao feng dui" lol....

something something Super Team la... they trained for days, while we the foreign volunteers,

only get like 10 times training in 30mins... (##)

北京谢谢您！

大家好！迟迟未在网上提供资料，敬请原谅。不要紧，我现在会尽量将有关国家体育馆和我这三个星期里在中国北京的一点一滴用照片来告诉大家。

我的服务场馆为国家体育馆。本来还以为国家体育馆就是鸟巢，后来才知道原来鸟巢是国家体育场而不是国家体育馆。真的是白乌龙！！

国家体育馆所负责的比赛项目为体操，蹦床和手球。中国队就在这里赢得了最多面金牌。我也在这里听到了无数回的中国国歌！！

我的服务岗位原本为形象与景观。有许多人会问：你们做什么呢？其实我们的主要任务为在赛前确保场馆内的各种装饰与吊饰整齐美观，没被损坏或弄脏。基本上在比赛开始后，我们就没什么活儿干的了。不过还好，隔天我被升级到语言服务部门，担任日本选手和ONS（奥运新闻部〕之间的翻译工作。由于日本男队是上届金牌得主，报界对他们特别感兴趣，也因此特别需要日语的翻译服务。

我和一班的语言服务志愿者。他们大多数是北京外国语大学和北京大学的学生。站在我右边的是燕燕，北京大学日文研究生。

男子体操团体队银牌得主日本队成员之一，冲口选手。

这里叫混合区，是媒体与运动员的交流区。我就是在这里为日本运动员和奥运新闻部ONS（大部分为老外〕作翻译。工作时禁止拍照！！要不然我可有好多明星运动员的照片了。呵呵！！

北京！干得好！

2008-08-24T22:20:00.007+08:00

雨中上岗的部分A 检成员

我身后的鸟巢日后必成为游客的必游景点！

京奥今晚闭幕圆满结束，心中纵有万般不舍，但中国已向世人证明了强大的实力，不仅在奖牌榜上以51枚金牌首次傲视群雄，主办能力更是赢得赞赏。北京！干得好！

很感谢国际奥委会与北京奥组委在闭幕典礼上再次赞扬志愿者的奉献，身为其中的一份子，真的很荣幸和欣慰。

服务奥运已成为我人生最有意义的志愿工作，以后我垂垂老矣时，这可是我最辉煌的记忆！

感谢各方面给予马来西亚京奥志愿者的协助，包括物资与精神的支持；同时感激我亲爱的同事们--- 曲棍球场(钩球)观众服务的“A 检”(A球场检票组)成员，我们一起度过美好时光，因为我们参与和奉献，换回了快乐的回报！

至于马来西亚健儿的表现，只凭李宗伟在羽毛球男单获得银牌，没有比预期好，但奥运的确是竞争最激烈的场所，12年来三届赛会破了奖牌荒，是最大的慰藉。

别了！北京奥运会！你给世人留下了佳话，你也给世人留下了历史，我们会记得所有一切的一切！

Nostalgia about Tennis Volunteers

2008-08-23T18:28:00.003+08:00

its not even the olympic closing ceremony yet,
and yet i'm already missing the days servicing at tennis venue,
despite all the tired days and long hours, its worth it,
because servicing physically and seeing results,
are prbbly the best feeling in the world that can never be explained.
one of my fav group photo at the tennis venue. :)

神州50金就在今天？

2008-08-23T11:17:00.001+08:00

中国的小小支持者

中国女曲(钩球)昨晚决赛虽输给荷兰，但已创造了首度夺牌的历史，意义很大，对普及此项冷门运动有很大的推动力。

A 检功成身退

今早是“A 检”最后一个上班日，终于完成了一项神圣的任务，战友们！你们是最棒的！我还是想念着我们在曲棍球场一起走过的日子，每一个晨曦经历了日晒雨淋，微笑迎客的美好时段，为我们的人生添加一份永恒的记忆。

战友们！相信上头领导会慰劳你们吧？！

今天中国有几个冲金点，50枚金牌的大关应该可破了！

中国女曲！加油！

2008-08-21T23:07:00.004+08:00

今天中国陈若琳在跳水夺取第46金，虽然冲击第50金的势头慢了下来，但神州尚有女子曲棍球(钩球)，跆拳道，拳击，乒乓，跳水，48至50金的希望是有能力实现的。

中国女排和女篮今天在半决赛落败，叫人失望，但的确是技不如人。

我当志愿者的地点-奥林匹克公园北区22日晚由东道主对垒美女阵荷兰上演争金大战，希望中女报回初赛0比1落败的一箭之仇。

今天当电视观众，心中还想着尚在前线的“A 检”队友，希望他们明早工作愉快，晚上有机会去观赏决赛就更棒了！

在我心中，希望领奖台上“义勇军进行曲”的奏起！

八月二十日：

今午三时抵达KLIA，回到了温暖的家，见到了阔别十九天的妻儿，儿子邓昊说他很想很想我，好贴心啊！他摸摸我穿着微笑圈的手，黝黑“发光”，我说这是OLYMPIC 的战绩。

适逢儿子幼儿园的假期，我们一家三口一同看奥运广播的机会就多了，在此时跟他说说奥运，解答他对不同赛项的问题也是一个享受的过程。

回来翻阅报纸才知道我们获得传媒大幅度报道，本想低调的，但志愿精神是需经过传媒宣扬的，希望以后能吸引更多人的参与！

累了....... 晚安！今晚的“住家饭”特好吃！“狗窝”特温暖！

1 Day Holiday Before My Departure

2008-08-20T20:57:00.003+08:00

what does Fei Wen plans to do with her
1 day holiday, and 1 day before she depart?
of course she will go sightseeing in this historical city!
Lamma Temple (Yong He Gong)

We could enter the Lamma Temple for FREE
with our volunteer's passes, cool.

we bought some incense before we enter,
apparently its really 'effective'
what you wish for is what you will get
so herbie & i made a little wish

while Olivia Canada made hers too.

i must say this is the first Lamma temple
i've ever really visited, its a worthwhile experience
inside this GRAND building stands the
TALLEST buddha statue, about 18m high,
but no picture taking is allowed.....
i didnt see it anyway, cos we were busy talking
to Tyler from MTV, and the door was closed
before we realized..... :(

we head to Guo Mao station to meet up with Jeanne
this is a really PLEASANT sight that greeted us!
the famous brand new CCTV building!!!

we literally take shots of it from EVERY angle!
because Olivia is majoring in Architecture,
so buildings like this means much more to her,

its really nice to see how just a building,
could make someone so happy and awed,

and spend the next 30minutes or so,
walking around the block,
too see EVERY angle

and a FULL VIEW of it came to sight,
we sighed happily, the long walk was worth the while!

Fei Wen Says Bye Bye Beijing Olympics

2008-08-20T20:10:00.003+08:00

My roommate looked at my stuff and SHUDDERS
WIDE EYED and asking me if i'm ever gonna fit all that
in my tiny little luggage ...... (i dont fancy big luggage)

Herbie choose to RUN AWAY from his responsibility,
by going online to FACEBOOK and randomly
adds people that he knows throughout the volunteer stint.
(no he didn't volunteer, he's just here to be in the way)

I seriously dont know where to start,
I packed from 12am - 5am.
What did I do before that? visit other volunteers,
and give out the remaining souvenirs that i've saved for them.

more souvenirs for friends and family back home

i barely slept..... the next day .....
11am, i checked out and suddenly i felt so ALONE.
everyone that i know is either in Hockey or Tennis,
busy getting their work done, while i'm here, standing.

this is Terminal 3.... wrong terminal for me actually,
hahah, but i hang around here to send out some postcards

At the airport, I met my boss in the departure area,
we catch up, got on the same flight..... 30mins later in the air,
there were flames smoking on the right wing,
the pilot decided quickly to return to beijing airport,
and this is what i saw when they tow the plane back
after we land safely (which by the way, everyone CLAPPED!)
there were ambulance and firetrucks but i couldnt get it on time.
they declared the plane UNSERVICEABLE, so they put us
up in a hotel with dinner and breakfast for the next day,
and a connecting flight at 9am, all courtesy of Malaysia Airlines.

ts not such a bad thing after all, considering we're all SAFE.
we also met Marcus, my CEO and his family, who were
there to watch the Olympic games, AND
we're also on board with the Malaysian
National badminton athletes!!!~~
they look so much better and fitter in person.
just randomly grab a pic, cos i think they're rushing
to get their stuff too...
That's Lee Chong Wei, silver medalist of the Olympics

从志愿者变成了观众！

2008-08-19T23:52:00.003+08:00

八月十九日：

今天获得市侨办的安排，我们海外华人华侨获得机会进入水立方，观看于下午三时举行的花样游泳双人预赛，从做观众服务的我变成了观众，百般滋味在心头。曲棍球（钩球）的同事今天获得轮休，大部分都相聚池畔，尤其是加上一些不同岗位，不同地点的志愿者们，在分开了整十天后再次相逢，都各发表心得，真是有苦也有乐啊！

我也遇到了赵诗韵，她很好，我放心，她接着赶去看我的地头---曲棍球比赛！今天是小组的最后一天比赛。

五点结束后在奥林匹克公园逛逛，鸟巢进不去，远距离拍拍照也算是慰藉。

最后去了王府井，买了奥运歌曲和开幕礼的光盘，十点多回来收拾行李准备明早回家咯！

感谢彭博最后仍送来三张照片，使我们的A 检的人头照全部拿齐。

战友们！坚持多三天！谢谢你们！

8月18日2008年

赵京奥至今已是第11天了，昨晚我终于完成了我在奥运期间的心愿！心愿只有一个就是希望能够现场观赏奥林比克羽球男单总决赛。毕竟是为了要现场支持宗伟及见证大马国旗在北京飘扬创造历史重夺奖牌的时刻！观赏这场比赛是我赴京的最大收获！恭喜宗伟获得第29届奥林比克羽毛球男单银牌，您一路走来的努力及付出我们有目共睹，能打进决赛真的不简单再加上这枚银牌真是来之不易！宗伟，您永远是我们羽坛的王子和英雄！

昨晚的那场比赛，宗伟真的承受了非常大的压力上场！种种的压力导致他不能以平常的水平斗争和发挥自己拥有的实力。实现2千300万支持者梦想的压力，全场97%中国支持者的压力，打破大马摘金的压力，心理上的压力，精神上的挑战，这一切都是导致宗伟失水平的主因。宗伟不是输给比赛，只是输给了压力。这是真的，相信我吧！

昨晚我的心情当然是伤感啊，毕竟真的很希望宗伟能夺冠。宗伟输得太不值得了！爆冷常常都会出现在比赛上，爆冷失水平是宗伟在决赛最大的损失，不过这已划上句点，成为历史，能以银牌归国真是可贺可喜！我们知道您已经尽力了！你是最优秀的！宗伟，祝福你！

别了! A 检！

2008-08-18T15:50:00.004+08:00

八月十八日：

今天是我上岗的最后一天，心情有点复杂；我尝试记住今天的每一个画面和情景，有位同事看穿了我的心事，因为今早我少了他们熟悉的笑容，看来我的“演技”真的很烂。由于明天是我们休息日而无法见面，二十号将在早上九点飞回马来西亚吉隆坡。

没到七点，我还是一样在岗位上做我的引导服务，今天天气很好，少了要派发雨衣的隐忧，一切如常，饭后在休息室看了刘翔因伤弃赛，每个人都难以置信和失望。

十二点半开小会，我收到一份最珍贵的礼物，留学日本的彭博将昨日每一位同事拍下的照片冲洗出来，A 检组近五十名成员的照片背面全写了对我的祝福，然后送给了我，我真的很感动他们费尽心思，一张张灿烂笑容的照片，是我们在曲棍球场十六天里（8月4日至19日）最美的回忆，也是我在京奥最大的收获！

别了，战友们！接下来还有三个工作天都是不很重要的名次赛，战斗力坚强的你们应该应付自如。

正如我说过的：延续你们的志愿精神，人生会更精彩！你们是我一生的记忆，因为有A 检，有观众服务，有曲棍球场，有奥运会，我们才有缘会聚京城。

最后祝你们：多参与，多奉献，多快乐！

雨水弄乱阵脚

2008-08-17T22:20:00.004+08:00

八月十七日：
今天早晨阴天，观众开始入席后却下起细雨，由于协调出现问题，观众不能及时拿到雨衣而鼓噪，幸好雨衣及时赶到送到大部分观众手中，加上雨势九点多完全停了，否则场面会更混乱。

今天观众不算多，因没有中国，荷兰或澳洲上场比赛。

你们是过去5届奥运最棒的志愿者！！！
一对美国夫妇入场前跟我交换襟章留念，接着夸奖京奥的志愿者是他们出席第五次奥运以来最好的一次，他们更对计程车司机的服务表示赞赏，并给于我们鼓励，把我们早上因下雨的郁闷一扫而空！

今天，还是一个好心情，更乐的是SEAN陈栩原（在奥运村服务）来交大宿舍拜访我，我们一起吃了刀削面，也谈了不少彼此的所闻所见！

银牌也是历史性的！

2008-08-17T22:04:00.005+08:00

大马李宗伟在羽毛球男单决赛以0比2不敌林丹，无法令大马“金的突破”，但不算意外，毕竟对手更强，我没有太大的激情或失望，因为这枚银牌也是珍贵的。
李宗伟创下了以下纪录：
1. 大马本世纪首枚奥运奖牌。
2. 大马隔了12年首夺奖牌。
3. 大马男单历来最佳成绩。
4. 大马史上第四枚奖牌。
5. 大马所有四枚奖牌皆来自羽球。

祝愿李宗伟在未来继续为国家争取荣誉！

明天八月十七日晚上八时四十五分将会是全马朋友最紧张和期待的一刻，大马一哥李宗伟将在此刻以林丹争夺第二十九届北京奥林比克男单羽毛球金牌。谁才是最后的赢家呢？李宗伟近期的表现都给了大家一个很好的肯定，就连中国球迷也看好李宗伟将成为这一届的羽毛球奥运金牌得主。只要这场比赛是公平的，再加上宗伟能以平常心上场，金牌得主肯定是属于他！

试问大家是否有观看前两天包春来对李炫一的那场比赛吗？你们觉得这场比赛如何呢？

能够以志愿者的身份参加这一次的北京奥运真是可贺可喜，但能亲身支持及目睹李宗伟在决赛争夺首面金牌肯定是我一路走来的期望。身在水立方的我要跨进北京体育馆观看羽球比赛肯定有一定的难度。我可以放弃观看奥运开幕及闭幕，但我却不能放弃观看支持李宗伟摘金的机会！明天的我将会在北京工业体育馆全力支持大马王子！真的很期待明天的到来。我肯定会是最紧张的那一位支持者！

宗伟，全力以赴，我们全马人民会给你最大的支持！

I hope I could stay longer, despite the daily problems we anticipate, i actually think its challenging and enjoy seeing audiences satisfied faces after the games, and many more reasons but i culdnt say in just few words......

wanna sleep before i fly ..... ttyl, to all my friends, im really really proud of all of you! we all went through an experience that no words could explain, and imreally glad we're all on the same boat for support! muacks!!!!!!!!!!!!

荷兰美女“钩”掉澳洲

2008-08-16T19:46:00.003+08:00

八月十六日：
今天北京继续是个艳阳蓝天，进场观赛的球迷心情都特别好，并在入门前就频频拍照留念，因为北京真的难得有那么好的天气。

今天的观众入场非常顺畅，人群进入非常平顺，大家都没有觉得太大的压力。

今天女子组十点半是荷兰对澳洲强强对阵，老外观众自然很多，有些装扮出位，非常引人注目。

荷兰是支美女队，上场的球员个个身材高挑标准，没有粗壮的身躯，打法行云流水，赏心悦目。她们也获得本地观众的支持，犹如半个主场。

结果风车国后来居上，以2比1擒下袋鼠国，取得四连胜，提前晋级半决赛，而澳洲将和东道主中国争夺另一席四强席位。

今天我组的同事陈攀登离开岗位，我们又少了一个开心果。这位旅意的“意大利男人”飞回温州办事后将回到罗马，希望他平安回国。

5am is the time when FeiWen RETURNS from TENNIS
We met at a bridge, this morning, the sun was just rising
KK was going to take a bus, while FeiWen just got down from the bus.

I guess it was well worth the hours from the rising of the moon,
as the Chinese Women's Doubles played against the Russians,
until the moon dissappear when the Chinese prevails the match,
it was the longest wait, with the cold breeze beating on us,
standing outside at the exit, not able to watch the game,
but were able to experience the supporters cheers,
and also saying good night and thank you to appreciative audiences,
as they leave the stadium gradually.......

小奖品小鼓励

八月十五日：
今天是个艳阳天，荷兰队的观众橙衣衫特别引人注目，是曲棍球赛场的一大亮点。
今天的观众不比昨日多，但“A 检”一样士气高昂，服务到位，非常难得。
也许大会知道志愿者的辛苦付出，今天全体同事都领取了一些小奖品，今天我们就拿了护腕，充气棒，小毛巾和志愿者钩球项目的小金章，虽然不是贵重的礼物，但是我们一样以感恩的心来拿这些东西。
小奖品是起着激励的作用，况且每天都会在组内选几个服务最佳，工作较繁重或工作时间较长的志愿者，给于鼓励，令人振奋。
今天开始发现黄牛出现在北区场馆群外的安检入口处门外，我已反应上去给上司，但看来要逮着他们的确不容易。

八月十四日：
今天是钩球开赛的第五天，早上的赛程为女子荷兰对中国及德国对美国。
一早预料荷兰有一大批球迷会过来，加上主队的支持者也多，所以我们集中兵力，严阵以待，顺利的“化解”了这七千余名观众。

荷兰在钩球是夺金的其中一个热门球队，她的球迷就是把一阵“橙风”席卷钩球场，变成了其中一个漂亮的亮点。

荷兰球迷观赛时相当自制，但球赛完毕后他们却久久不愿离去，原因是他们是球员家眷，需要寒暄一番。这就造成了志愿者得费劲苦劝，他们才愿意离场。

我在下午两点回到宿舍时下了一场大雨，幸好已下班了，否则又要变落汤鸡了！

明天也是吃力的一天，因为男子钩球早上十点半由荷兰对加拿大，八点半那场则是中国对西班牙。

Tennis - evening shift

2008-08-14T04:22:00.004+08:00

we had a change of shift, cos the tennis matches

now begins only about 4pm in the evening.

i saw Novak Djokovic, from Serbia in the schedule,
so i went to the courts to check him out in person,
just like what Guo Yao, Montreal said,
Djokovic is just like a match stick
striaght long face, straight everything!!!~~
our evening shift begins from 130pm, because the games begins at 4pm.
here we are counting tickets, not sure about the figure,
but i think it was about 17,000 plus....
our ticket checking booth continue way till late at night,
the apron is HOT, it glows in the dark, it can blink blink too! thats our SUPPER pack in boxes,
these people feed us full around the clock.
really appreciate all that careful consideration for our stomach. thats the QUIET main alley to the venues,
because every single audience is watching tennis games in the courts!
i must say night shift may be more cooling and less stressful,
but its really a tiring process as we had to wait until every single spectator
leaves the stadium before we can sign out!!!!! here we are waving bye bye!!!
it was 2am in the morning when we arrive in Carol's USA Room,
We had to shower in her room, cos the bathroom in our dorm,
is CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! duh....
that's Martin Cambridge eating in the room, that's the INTERNATIONAL FRUIT PLATTER THAT WE GET.
WOW...........................im like, why didnt they give us earlier?
i miss FRUITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahah

特别顺的一天！

2008-08-13T15:13:00.005+08:00

八月十三日：

今天天气好，加上观众入场都是“一小波”接“一小波”的顺序入场，今天的工作算是开赛以来最轻松的一天。

今天两场战役为男子组的澳洲对南非和中国对韩国。全场观众五千余人，主队经过两连败后，已经无望四强。

在隔邻的射箭场，马来西亚男子射箭今天打个人赛，上午段的比赛钟础先连克澳洲的格雷（109-101）和芬兰的哈达瓦（110-103），闯进16强，他下一个对手是在十五号挑战韩国的李昌焕，后者在32强赛以117-109胜土耳其选手，破了奥运纪录，12箭中9箭取10分，十分吓人，非要奇迹才能撼倒高丽人。

另一名大马选手玛巴威在首圈输给中华台北的陈诗园（106-107），一环之差饮恨。

还有一名选手卡米占首圈轮空，对罗马尼亚波德纳时，同样一环（105-106）微败出局。

羽毛球则今晚古陈与黄妙珠皆落败，面临双重打击，只剩李宗伟硕果仅存。

I am working in Baseball Field 2 in crowd control and ticketing. Will also be able to go to the Basketball Stadium to enjoy the air-cond after being under the hot sun the whole day.

Happy viewing. More to come soon. Cheers

今天球场爆满！

2008-08-12T15:21:00.003+08:00

八月十二日：
今天我们很高兴，因为十二名支援军被外借两天后终于回到大本营，工作压力相对会减低，但听到奥组委主席刘淇会莅临本馆，霎时间大家也紧张起来。

今早赛程为女子的阿根廷对英国及澳洲对西班牙，观众应该不多，但在没有心理准备下官方派来了五千多名的“北京职工啦啦队”，还好同事们把关得力，与持票观众加以提前引导分开个别通道，特开了几条通道加快啦啦队的进场速度，所以今天难得一次的全场爆满，而且还得引导没有位子的人带到射箭场，好让他们也有感染气氛的机会。

在乱中有序的情况下我们完成了今天的任务，我也对刘淇书记经过其他入口进场而松了一口气。

“A 检”加油！今天我们成功完成了吸纳一万两千人的纪录！我以你们为荣！

今天我失望了！

2008-08-11T19:36:00.003+08:00

今天我有点失望，因为马来西亚的男子射箭队在八强赛输给了后来夺得银牌的意大利，害我带去的辉煌条纹用不着，我下午一点过去离我们钩球场200米的射箭场询问成绩，原来我们已无缘四强。
今早四时起床时还下着雨，穿着雨衣追专车去场馆，到了之后必须经历我们最讨厌的“三排”耗了我们很多时间，第一：排队过安检；第二：排队报到和拿餐券；第三：排队拿早餐。
今天的工作情况比昨天好得多，因雨在六点多停了，我们不必狼狈的负责引导工作，一切流程都比昨日更顺。
今早的两场比赛是男子组的德国对中国及英国对巴基斯坦，德英球迷成为了焦点，因他们的衣着装扮与动作，都是那么引人注目。
今天的失望终于从李宗伟，黄综翰与黄妙珠在羽毛球赛中报捷得到一些安慰！也成了我们夺牌的希望了！大马健儿，加油！

2008-08-10T21:29:00.003+08:00

大马射箭男队明天登场尝试争夺本届赛会的首面奖牌，希望国人给于最大的支持！
11.40AM 大马将打8强赛，4.00PM 打半决赛，4.55PM 是铜牌战，5.25PM 决赛。如果四点您打开电视有大马三箭客的话，我们就有希望。
今天下了一整天雨，明天天气预报也有雨，雨水对二，三十年前的大马国家足球队绝对是吉兆，“水球”曾令韩国队怕怕! 但愿明天的水带来好运！

D-Day TENNIS

2008-08-10T19:29:00.002+08:00

you have no idea how helpless i felt today.

i knew things are going to be tough here,

and we all have our limits too, TODAY IS A RAINY DAY,

we from SPS (Spectator Services) are the frontliners,

we deal with the audiences as they have queries,

and as our leader has put it

"all that we had anticipated during practice has happened,

in addition to that, worst case has happened today too"

im really in a very very very down mood right now,

i could only depend and rant on and on about the problems,

but i know i have to be stronger, i didnt know who to talk to,

i know i should be adult enough to handle this problems myself.

play was delayed,

play was suspended,

play was cancelled,

EVERY SINGLE decision from the tennis federation,

is crucial to us as we relay the information to the audience,

and try to solve their problems as best as we can,

but there are times when these problems can't be solved,

its just frustrating, especially rules are rules,

and its just not meant to be bend, its a lot of

reasons of these decisions that we need to respect and understand,

but there are people who don't, and thats why,

we are in a very challenging task to convince them,

im going through prbbly the toughest training on

selling. im really really sad today with all these.

but tomorrow will be another day. go volunteer!

在雨中 ---- 钩球赛开战了！

2008-08-10T15:36:00.002+08:00

今天钩球赛（曲棍球）拉开战幔，四点起床梳洗后飞步去交大篮球场坐四点半的专车，二十多分钟抵达场馆安检处，吃早餐的时间是五点一刻。

“A 检”六点半上岗准备了，天空乌云密布，这时前方观众安检处急需支援，调走了我们十二名战友，临时变阵与调动，还好大伙儿适应力不错，应付了一波又一波的观众。

雨开始在七点一刻下起来了，我负责引导观众经过验票站，确保每条通道顺畅，让观众以最舒适的情况下进入场馆。

雨势忽停忽下，我们引导观众进入通道，并提醒他们领取免费派送的雨衣，因在坐席是不允许撑伞的。

前来观赛的“老外”蛮多的，有纽西兰，荷兰，南非，澳洲，英国，德国，韩国等，有些纯粹来观赛，有些可能是“敌国”的探子，教练或家眷。

由于首场是日本对纽西兰，反应较差，次场是中国对西班牙，主场支持者自然较多，所以我们得等到次场的高峰期过后才轮岗休息。不要忘记我们是阵容不整，多一些工作时间在所难免。

基本上十二点半就下班，轮休加午餐后我们开了检讨会，希望可改善一些欠缺，期待明天做得更好。

大概一点半我们就下班了，想到今晚男篮中国对美国，明天四点又要起床.............唉！

who is the best of all swimmers?

2008-08-10T01:16:00.003+08:00

today (aug 9th) is the beginning of the competition in Watercube.

it means that our work begins officially.

i felt the importance of the volunteers.

everyone is at their own position, carrying out their tasks.

2 of us, my teammate and myself together with our teacher having to serve and attend to 48 technical officials.

today's heats include michael phelps, kitajima, grant hackett, and one of our Malaysian swimmer, Liew Yih Wei (400m individual medley).

our work went smoothly... until the games ended for the day at 9pm.

tomorrow will be another day. need to sleep now to recharge for tomorrow's challenge.

中国向总冠军迈向第一步！

2008-08-09T13:21:00.006+08:00

今天开始颁发七枚金牌，在前四枚已揭晓的比赛中，中国的陈燮霞在女子举重48公斤为主办国夺取首枚金牌，庞伟在射击再添一金，可喜可贺！

原本预测将在较早前夺金的女射击手杜丽表现一般，仅获第五名而卫冕失败，令中国体育迷非常失望。

中国其实具有夺取全场总冠军的实力，只是她表现低调与谦虚，这有望减低运动员的压力。

四年前雅典赛会中国超越俄罗斯，仅次于美国屈居总亚军，本次占主场之利，有望首次登上冠军宝座。

我希望中国以真正的实力来实现这个愿望，毕竟往届有前车之鉴，希望裁判公正严明，没有偏差，而运动员没吃禁药，没欺骗，以体育精神完成各比赛，凭自己能力登顶，才会以实力服人，叫人敬佩！

我的骄傲！

2008-08-09T03:55:00.007+08:00

昨晚的开幕礼非常精彩，不用我赘言，说它是全球华人永远的记忆，一点也不夸张。

我跟香港的志愿者在南锣鼓巷一个酒吧看大荧幕，感受一下举城欢庆的气氛。
此外，天安门其实在下午四点已有人在那逗留在那儿，准备霸个好位子看烟花，而附近的酒吧街和广场更是热闹。

我们一样为自己的国家欢呼，还有一些有球星的国家也一样。我们也敬佩一些穷国依然派队参赛，如阿富汗，伊拉克，缅甸，苏丹，古巴，朝鲜等，给于她们喝彩！

同一个世界，同一个梦想，204个参赛国家与地区相聚在北京，我们向往和平与关爱，而我能够参与其中，这是我一生的骄傲与荣耀！

A Star of China

2008-08-08T01:03:00.003+08:00

today met the diving queen of China, Guo Jing Jing, while waiting for Loke, Joyce & Kwang Yen to arrive at Watercube...

i only managed to snap a quick photo of her...

just like other stars which are so popular that she need to hop into the bus as soon as she get out... so many people rushing up to her... someone escorted her away

最后的演练

2008-08-07T20:10:00.002+08:00

八月七日：
今天气候较多阴霾，温度没昨天那么热，但“A 检”组不敢怠慢，我们重复练习了引导观众，验票及引导入场的程序，于来老师详细分配了工作范围，而我是进场前的“第一关”得第一任，另加七人随后负责引导，控制各通道顺畅的人，一万二千人可是个大考验！

下午再做一遍后，于来老师要求我们回去“温习功课”，因八号，九号为休息日，十号早晨五点半到场馆报到，六点半正式开上岗工作。虽然钩球在中国是冷门运动，但负责场馆的领导层与志愿者从不掉以轻心，凡事力求做到最好！

今天体育场外的邮票柜台生意兴隆，志愿者排队一小时购买首日封，因明天开幕日没营业，而且邮签盖章为八月八日尤其珍贵，加上有道命令说志愿者不能在比赛日穿制服挂证步入商店，所以今天邮局生意特好！

我则没兴趣，但拿了五十套明信片派给我的组员，他们都很高兴，而我则顺势介绍马来西亚各种旅游，历史及文化特色，我是吃这行饭的，提高国家知名度是义不容辞！

不过，我有一个小小的回报，就是得到了法国和巴基斯坦的纪念章，开心了半天！

明天的开幕日是没志愿者的份，还没决定在那儿看这场举世关注的盛会，但我会拿着辉煌条纹为马来西亚打气！

马来西亚，加油！

#KK

又是“晒到窿”的一天！

2008-08-06T21:48:00.002+08:00

八月六日：

今天一样很晒，又是演练（彩排）的一天，北区场馆群的一千六百余人参与模拟进场，验票，入座，紧急疏散人群等工作，大家的皮肤又受罪，汗流浃背，连上厕所的机会都少，因为水分都被蒸发掉了。

下午我们反主为客，以观众身份进入网球场，考验观众服务组志愿者的承受能力，进到主赛场时巧遇“费天王”练球，引起一阵骚动，毕竟志愿者也是人，何况大部分都是二十几岁的女孩，当然男生运气也不差，遇到了美女伊娃诺维克。

遇到射箭队与体育部长

钩球场的旁边就是射箭场，也是唯一有马来西亚国旗飘扬的地方，决定在休息时间时去看看，巧遇大马的体育及青年部长等官员到场为男子队打气，我也上前打招呼，表示大马也有志愿者在本届奥运服务，他也开心，还调侃说大马钩球队没入选，但志愿者有个代表也不错。

射箭队是大马队的奖牌希望，但愿这个“冷门”运动能带来冷门加震惊世界的成绩！

tennis - reporting day

2008-08-05T22:35:00.004+08:00

our first meal of the day: breakfast with

yoghurt drink, bread,eggs, strawberry jam, more

Olympic Green Park Tennis, main court.
lunch break.
then herbie felt so tired, he slept like everyone else.
herbie woke up again to collect uniforms.
he also mingle with the team, this is the team its kinda like

multitasking volunteers, where we act as support team,

to other departments, that means we have to know

and learn everything so we can help when situation arises!

break time is here, and jing jing, one of the fuwa

is here doing her rehearsal too!

all in all its a peaceful but tiring day

of walking around the venue and under the sun.

八月五日培训日

2008-08-05T21:11:00.002+08:00

八月五日：

今天是收获蛮多的一天，虽然烈日当空，但直接上司于来老师的耐心教导与讲解，我们对整个奥林匹克公园场馆群都有个清晰的轮廓。

我被安排在把守“天下第一关”，即曲棍球A 球场的检验门票任务，此组有50多人，负责12条通道，十号开始每天早晨五点半球场报到，是一份相当艰巨的苦差。

这个组里包括我有六位海外华侨华人，我的队友有蔡美华小姐（印尼），林茜小姐（意大利），陈攀登先生（意大利），窦志炜小姐（法国），高阳小姐（法国），另有七名黑龙江的京外志愿者，加上北京的大学生，可谓人强马壮。

大伙一起真的无所不谈，很多人对马来西亚即陌生又好奇，正中我这个导游下怀，忙着宣传马来西亚，希望他们以后到我的国家旅游观光，这点我尽点绵力是应该的。

这里大部分的志愿者都是许海峰1984年“零的突破”后出生的，跟我或有一些代沟，但听我娓娓道来中国的参加奥运史，他们也很惊讶，这也显示了马中关系的浓厚情谊！

马中友谊万岁！

Reporting from TSINGHUA University and WATERCUBE

2008-08-05T15:39:00.004+08:00

hi everyone,

4 of us (joanne, joyce, kwangyen & loke) have checked-in to Tsinghua Uni and reported to duty at National Aquatic Centre (aka Watercube).

THU is a very big Uni... more than 4,000 acres... our rooms are twin sharing with AC, TV, phone, internet... with housekeeping everyday (just like a hotel =D) ... common bathroom on each floor. THU live up to their name for being one of the top Uni in China. Everything is well organised and prepared, from registration to check-in. All of us have a buddy which is THU student... a "1+1 program". They are the 1st one to respond to us when help is needed. We have to report to our buddy everyday before 10pm... They are required to report to the Uni coordinator.

on our 1st day to report to duty, we have to walk from our hostel which is situated near the Northeast entrance... all the way to the East entrance... the morning walk took us at least 30 mins (thats why all THU student needs a bicycle. from the East entrance, another 5 mins walk to the bus station to board the Olympic Bus No. 8 to the Watercube.

4 of us are posted to different departments... having different task.

Joanne (Me) - competition/swimming/technical person (i.e. technical officials / committee)

Joyce -technology/printing result distribution assistant

Kwang Yen - competition/general

Loke - guest services (all areas except the competition area)

its summer in Beijing and the weather is very hot... its still bearable. Working in Watercube is a blessing for us as the whole area is covered and air conditioned.

till we report again.

八月四日开工咯!

2008-08-04T21:18:00.002+08:00

今早六点起床, 打算七点出发奥林匹克公园北区场馆群, 在南门集中的当儿才知道自己情归何处, 答案是有点失望-----派去钩球(曲棍球)场观众服务组做现场服务员.
其实心中希望是被派到射箭项目, 理由很简单---马来西亚有健儿参与比赛, 辉煌条纹更有机会首次在京城升起, 但本着志愿者的崇高精神, 还是接受这分很有挑战性的任务.
大伙坐奥运专线的公共巴士是免费的, 凡是奥组委发出的名卡就享有此福利, 包括轻铁.
一小时后抵达目的地, 受到各级别的领导或负责人及其他志愿者的欢迎, 十一点半用午餐, 跟我们的"杂饭"差不多, 全凭餐券吃饭与拿饮料.
钩球赛场分A, B球场, 主要的A赛场可容纳一万两千人, B赛场则五千人. 环绕赛场熟悉环境时碰见中国女队在热身, 澳洲女队则在球场适应球场性质, 志愿者都给予喝彩.
北京今天有32C度, 好多志愿者都受不了, 还好我的工作性质也要抛头露面, 还算撑得住.
过后我们就领取赛会志愿者的制服, 有夹克, 雨衣, 三件恤衫,帽子, 水壶, 球鞋,袜子,腰包等, 很有纪念意义.
过后再进行简报与一些细节讲解, 四点半才结束. 走出场馆到车站乘车回到交大宿舍已接近六点半了.
明天至九号继续培训, 十号球赛开始时我就要早上六点到球场报到, 约中午十二点半就可下班. 傍晚比赛则由另一组负责.
我们大伙都乐在其中, 虽然钩球不是受注目的项目, 但大家都希望顺利的完成任务, 并结交不少来自各方的朋友.

今天只是下午四点的志愿者欢迎联谊会, 没其他活动, 是调整身心的一天, 太好了!
早上陪新加坡的志愿者曾祥光到会场彩排, 为下午准备,虽没参与演出,但到场打气也是志愿者的精神, 何况他是我的室友呢!
下午, 来自交通大学, 陕西,黑龙江,香港,海外华人华侨的志愿者表演节目, 反应热烈, 都尽兴而返. 过后交大还特别安排导游参观校园, 让我们更了解这座拥有碍112年历史的高等院校.共有24个国家的志愿者住在交大, 包括了遥远的爱沙尼亚, 巴拿马, 秘鲁等.
明天就是咱们正式到奥林匹克公园(OLYMPIC GREEN)场馆群北区报到, 领取证件, 制服, 工作时间表等等,然后正式上岗, 投入工作.
明天会更好! 晚安!!!

京奧志工赴中國‧見證盛事宣傳大馬

2008-08-03T19:52:00.004+08:00

Mr Tey from Sinchew informed us about this news! :)

thanks, he was there alongside with 8tv, and more journalist,

to send us off and wish us well!

http://sports.sinchew-i.com/node/5728

Joanne & Family

Loke & a journalist

Tania with 8TV

LOOK AT THAT SIGHT!!!!!! we didnt know,

it could be that special!

FeiWen - 3rd August - Sunday is Sunday.

2008-08-03T19:22:00.005+08:00

Sunday is really Sunday, our work in the

Olympic Park Northern Area begins only on Monday,

so since the Welcome Volunteers event only starts at 4pm,

we decided to go out in the morning, but Jeanne Chicago,

my roommate, was not feeling well, so we went to a clinic,

a CHINESE clinic to be specific, where u can get chinese meds!

that's Helen Los Angeles in the Cap with her Fan,

i just realized they are both Americans & my roomies too!!!!

it was interesting to see the labeled drawers behind,

and a chinese medicinal practice doctor,

its just so interesting to watch, as he mix and match

since Jeanne Chicago needed to rest,

Kathy Michigan & I, went shopping with the

British, Canadian and European volunteers,

about 12 of us together in 3 cabs,

this is Kathy Michigan trying to buy a bag,

she manage to bargain from 95 to 50,

and she still thinks its EXPENSIVE????

tips from her when shopping in china

"speak mandarin, as perfect as you can,

so they wont think you're a foreigner,

and think you're rich!" hahahaha!

this is where we shopped, a WHOLESALE mall,

you can take a train/taxi to the Zoo, (near Xi Zhi Men)

walk the underground bridge to head to the opposite,

and you're right inside the mall already!

(MOVs, if u dunno how to go, call me!!!!)

we even bought matching black and white

CHEAP CHEONGSAM! 60yuan!

the traditional RED ones looks freaky on us anyway.

no changing rooms, we had to hide behind the cloth,

hold up by the sales lady, where people

is still passing & shopping around the shop,

about the size of my room in Malaysia! of all things we ate, we decided to go to McDonalds!

look! even their delivery is on a BICYCLE???? i didnt take a picture of Olivia Edmonton,Canada

we were both amused by the rows of shops all in chinese!

we were walking under the scorching hot summer sun,

towards a mall to get some Official Olympics Souvenirs
And it was really pretty!!! Huan Huan (the red one)

some of his items has already sold out!!!

so i better grabbed the super important ones!!!i think the bag itself is a souvenir already!

that cost me 510 yuan...... i only have about 400 left

for shopping..... im serious...... and this is only DAY 2!????!!!!

交通大学志愿者欢迎联谊会

2008-08-03T18:44:00.004+08:00

This is Mr. Mao Ze Dong,

a brilliant statue shot in the university grounds

of Jiao Tong University, established 112 years ago,

funny enough thats when the modern olympics started,

so its really a meaningful study place,

walking in the schol ground, hot as it may be,

its beautiful ................there's lots of trees!

a big pond clean and serene in the middle of the college

that WAS our Welcome Dinner on upon our arrival,

we meet soooooooooooooooooo many people!

i came up with a solution to rmb their names & origin!

Like this......some i hardly even talk to!

from left is KK Malaysia, Singaporean Guy,

Vivian Panama and Jeanne Chicago, USA.

Today at 4pm,

there was a welcome ceremony with performances,

speeches, i remember clearly the lady said

"no matter how many languages there is in this world,

no language can ever describe this experience"

poem reading, cheerleading and

the PROUDEST moment for me as an MOV

was when they announce,

there are only 300 plus overseas volunteers from 24 countries!

about 200 plus of them consist of 黑龙江/陕西/香港volunteers!

and believe it or not the rest is 华人华侨, which is us!!!!

i was thinking how absolutely privelege is that???

we cheer super loud (with the help of the American volunteers)

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY when they announce MALAYSIA!!!

it would be perfect if they have all venues all volunteers

coming together, and perfect 10 can sit together and cheer

Malaysia Boleh!!!!~~~

the most MOVING experience for me was the Olympic Torch,

these are two volunteers from the provinces of China,

they share with us their moments and also motivate us,

and they pass the torch around the hall for each and everyone

to experience that very very significant moment

of holding a very important symbol of the Olympics!

i was so moved, i did not teared,

it was a very humbling moment for me personally.

Jeanne Chicago helped me with this pic.

我的第一晚

2008-08-03T13:11:00.002+08:00

各位乡亲父老, 亲朋戚友:

小弟昨日进驻交通大学宿舍, 受到殷勤接待,很开心!

我住在学苑公寓, 是三人间, 里面有电视, 空调, 摆了书桌, 三张床, 两个衣柜后已没有多大空间. 还有个小阳台来晾衣服.

这里有些跟马来西亚大学的情况有不同之处:
1. 厕所, 洗脸,洗衣,取水都在房间外面每一楼层的特定地方
2. 洗澡在地下室
3. 刷卡预付方式: 洗澡, 取水, 食堂用餐, 迷你超市买东西, 出入门口保安亭都是一卡通.

在一个与首届现代奥运一起创办的交通大学(1896年)度过了我在北京的第一夜晚, 真是一个全新又特别的经验, 是一个很好的开局, 心中祈求北京奥运会也一样, 这是我们的祝愿!!!

KK & FeiWen to Jiao Tong University

2008-08-03T09:14:00.002+08:00

our first encounter with the city volunteers

asking for directions, and they end up,

asking to take pictures with us,

KK gave them some of the postcards we brought too.!

looking for the train station in the city
that is such a WELCOMING SIGHT!!!

finally after an hour or so, we found our destination.

it was a BUS - TRAIN - BUS and our

local coordinatror, Mr.Zhang Bo,

who drove his car, to sent us from the South Gate

to the East Gate where we stay....

more on that later, the rest of the volunteers

has more pictures!!!! please post!!! we miss you already!!!

me and KK hang out with the local volunteers for lunch.

and we went seperate for our own programmes!

北京! 我到了!

2008-08-03T00:00:00.003+08:00

八月二日:
马来西亚十位志愿者安全抵步, 我们到了机场就兵分四路, 进住不同大学宿舍.

我与慧雯决定做机场巴士, 转轻铁再乘市区巴士, 窥探市民在奥运会期间的生活百态, 也看看周围志愿者的态度与表现, 果然他们没让我失望.

下午有空档去了鸟巢, 因担心奥运匹克公园北区的场馆群工作时间长, 到时候真的没时间就遗憾了!

晚上侨办开晚宴招待各国志愿者, 非常热闹, 我们也拿了正式录取信和纪念品, 我也发放了徽章, 明信片等, 为马来西亚宣传.

在网吧上网, 无法分享美丽的照片, 可惜. 希望明天其他同胞分享他们的所见所闻.

已经很累的.....

we bought our air travel tickets yesterday,
thank goodness half of it was sponsored by the airline,
cos if everything was original priced,
it would've burn a hole in us.

i believe many of us come across the question,
"why would you want to volunteer?"

there are many ways to answer, and i've always answer,
"I believe 1 person doing 1 thing
has a ripple effect on all, whether
intentionally or unintentionally,"

thus, i want to dedicate this video to all my fellow volunteer friends,
and also to those who wish us success & support us all the way,
with all your help & wishes, we just maybe able to bring more happiness,
to a lot more people than we will ever know!!!

This is the Video Dedication to All Of you. :)
IT IS A YOUTUBE PHENOMENON WITH OVER 10 MILLION HITS!
I LOVE THE MUSIC & I WISH TO DEDICATE TO YOU!

北京 --- 这么近，那么远 ---

2008-07-23T00:55:00.003+08:00

Dear MOVsP10,
KK, 看到你这份mail 有一种特别的感觉。。。尤其是那一段 “10 MOVs quan jia fu only appear 101 time”，好像那种“这么近，那么远的感觉”。
虽然奥运将要开始，但我们的关系好像要告一段落。在这段时期里大家都不分彼此，恪尽所能，那无限的奉献精神让我服到五体投地。在此先行个敬礼给在座的各位。

还有终于看到我们真正的航班 “MH370”，这号码让我感觉到“那么远，这么近”。。。我会永远记住这个“MH370”。
假如有机会当导演我会开拍这部“MH370” 来打倒王家卫的 “2046”。呵呵呵。。。

当然最后不忘多谢我们真正的监护人秋俊哥，假如没有你的话我们这班“奥运志工” 应该不会产生吧！所以说你才是我们这班MOVs 的再生爸爸。
哈哈哈。。。好了我们已准备好了，你就放心去忙你的事啦！接下来就让我们来吧！

“北京我来了” YEAH 。。。

Dear All,
... 10 of us take same flight MH370 0635hrs arrive Beijing

10 MOVs quan jia fu only appear 101 time during 1st Aug 9.30pm-10pm check in time at KLIA. So if others press want photo, this is the only time. Because when we touched down Beijing, we might not see each other due to assigned to separate venues and hostels ( We stay 4 hostels & on duty in 5 venues )

我的故事

男主角已经在半途中杀出来了，觉得有点紧张！谁才是真正的女主角，大家拭目以待吧！这次不当女主角最大的原因是不想和那位男主角一起搭档。。hehe。大家都有不同的故事，先让我和大家分享故事的第一集吧。。

16．11．2007
在面试的当天我是以平常心到马华大厦，对自己的期望一般只希望能尽全力做好本份。一踏进笔试厅，一片陌生的脸孔，除了我的一位朋友其余的都不认识。再过大约十五分钟，就由中國駐馬來西亞大使程永華及罗秋俊等负责人致欢迎词。接下来就是第一个环节笔试的开始。我没有预测有笔试题，还以为只有口试。笔试占百分之五十，口试也一样。输在起跑点的我笔试成绩公布时就远远被其他人抛在后头，总是觉得很不甘心。我不想因为笔试的结局让我被隔在门外，若是这样一切实在不值得！当时的我的确真的很不甘心，不轻易放弃的我只告诉自己笔试失分已成事实，过去的再也挽救不回。要使自己脱颖而出被录取就得把另一个环节的口试做到最好。我告诉自己我一定要在口试环节以50/50荣获27位面试者中最优秀的一位，只有这样我才会被录取。我一定要和我的朋友一起被录取然后一起到北京实现我们的梦想，一个都不能少! 我不想只有他被录取，而我被隔外；那当然更不想只有我被录取，而他被隔外！那种心情真的是多么的残忍！我们一定要一起赴京奥！怎样才能让自己在这场战里胜出呢？如果没在这一个环节好好表现自己，那梦想就会毁灭。我想要得到的东西我一定会尽我的本分争取它。不到黄河心不死。。我以最佳的表现完成了口试。我是幸运的最终还是MOVs里的其中一位。现实就是那么的惨酷，我们只打赢一场战，一得一失。输在没有经验的他，奥运梦想就这样远离而去。。。。不能和你一起实现梦想，我深感痛心！我相信有朝一日你一定会再实现你的目标和梦想以弥补无缘出征北京奥运的人生最大遗憾！！！你一定可以的。。。朋友，祝福你！
人生因目标而成长，因梦想而伟大。参加奥运是很多人的梦想！我们一行十人是非常的幸运。“我们很高兴地正式通知您，您作为数千万海外华侨华人和留学生的代表，已经被北京奥组委正式录用为赛会志愿者。”当我收到此信时的那份喜悦是无法形容的。一路走来的付出都是值得的。现在的心情充满着期待。。开心的是奥运倒数计只剩17天，出发倒数计却是10天。。这次有缘赴京奥，真的是我人生中的一大喜事！我选择了赴京奥，牺牲了出席我的硕士毕业典礼(8月5日08年)。这一切都是值得的，因为有机会当奥运志愿者就只有那么的一次。放弃了它就是一生中最大的遗憾！开始的时候觉得不出席毕业典礼好像有点不舍因为付出了那么多的努力却不能自己感染台上的那一刻，最终我还是选择了京奥。
能够顺利至今，要感谢的人就是在背后默默努力协助我们从区区的四位名额增加到十位的阳光青年总执行长罗秋俊先生，他无条件的为我们付出，这种精神是值得赞扬的！在此也非常感谢中国大使馆一直所给予配合。

但愿我们赴京顺利，全力以赴，做到最好！！！

SPIDER MAN 的金句 “当你能力越大，你的责任就越大”

2008-07-21T00:40:00.004+08:00

亲爱的 MovP10..

离奥运的日子越来越近。你们的见报率就越来越密。从当初的奥运志工 interview （面试），没想到之后还有那么多interview。从杂志到报章，然后电台，再到电视新闻。当然这些 interview 是好是坏还是见人见自，有人欢喜有人忧，当然会有一些人会认为这班奥运志工是在博宣传提高自己的知名度，还是真心要去服务的？？
小弟在这先对曾访问过我们的媒体说声 RIBUAN TERIMA KASIH / THANK YOU VERY MUCH, 因为对我们这班 K-叻啡有兴趣。
然后再跟那些眼红的FANs说声抱歉，因为我们的爆红令到你的荷尔蒙失调以致造成你的情绪不稳定。不过小弟可啪烂心口的跟你说我们没你想的那么Cheap，其实我们都很大压力的，大家都不知道要面对这么多媒体的，当初的目的只是想平平安安的去奥运完成自己的梦想吧了。只是后来主办单位告诉我们 “现在你们是代表马来西亚去宣传，就如公关大使，如果连在自己国家的媒体都呈现不好的话，出到国外不是更丢脸”。其实依小弟这么多天的观察，原来我们这班所谓的 PERFECT 10 在面对访问时是那么菜鸟的，只不过逼到埋身才无计可施，硬硬上吧了！

前天看到 KK 的赠语 "... waw, ur guy bcome more popular"。对于以上的赠语小弟想引用 SPIDERMAN 里面的金句来回复 “当你能力越大，你的责任就越大”，而小弟自创一句来赠回大家 “当你的越受欢迎，你的责任更大”。我想这两句会有异曲同工的解释。
你可从世界任何一个角落发生的事件来引用以上金句。。就如香港阿娇的 “天真论” （因为受欢迎吗），或我国羽球一哥 “李生” （因为能力大，所以肩负为国争光的责任就越大）。
所以嘛！无论我国奥运选手也好，志工团也好。不要因为责任大就增加自己的压力，就拿出你们平时的表现就可以了，因为 “你们是最棒的，你知道吗？” （对不起，又再炒劉华的金句 :p )
不过接下来这句是小弟的... “责任创造使命，使命创造命运，命运创造历史”。
正所谓 “人死留名，树枯留皮”。去奥运的兄弟姐妹们，大块儿一起创造我们的历史吧 ! YEAH ... !!

Sorry, 开始时太过兴奋忘记介绍自己。我就是MovP10 的Hancock (通常主角是半中间才杀出的），虽然开始时让各位孤身作战，不过我答应大家以后 “you never walk alone" (Liverpool FC theme) 哈哈哈。。。
