OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY IN SHEFFIELD 25 June 2012
We came here at the RIGHT time !!!
2012 Olympic took place in London and we were so lucky to be here to witness the international event !!!
We walked to city centre after the class and the London 2012 Olympic partners (Coca Cola, Samsung, Lloyds TSB, etc) had yet to set up anything yet. However, we could see the performers were busy with their rehearsal around the stage there !
There are ping pong tables in the city centre. Since we had nothing to do so we decided to do some exercises. ;)
I am not good at ping pong !! Was there to chase the ping pong ball only...... haha
However, we had to admit that K is a good ping pong player among our friends here.
Even the local British challenged him !!!
 |
| Got "pattern" |
 |
| MORE "pattern" |
 |
| Handsome British vs K |
The Olympic Partners slowly setting up their things and city centre was getting more and more crowded already !! Just like a carnival :) So happy & excited !!!
Luckily we were there earlier and we queued up in front of the Coca Cola counter without knowing what are we going to get !! haha
We just queued up because others were there to queue up !!
After few mins of waiting, we got a FREE Coca Cola :)
The red and black bottles are limited edition !!!
Hence, everyone of us collected both colours which means we had to drink 2 bottles of Coca Cola !! Haha Bloated !
But most importantly we got to take a picture with the torch on the double deck bus !!!
The person in charge would help us to take picture with her camera and then she would give us a card.
We have to go to Coca Cola website and key in the code given on the card to get our pictures :)
Never knew that in my life I would have the chance to hold the torch although the torch is without flame one !!! Still happy :)
Thanks, Coca Cola ......

| Me with the TORCH :D |
 |
| Cheers !!! |
 |
Vote for your best Coca-Cola ambassador !
Haha |
Then, we moved on to Lloyds TSB to make London 2012 Torch Relay coin !
Again, it is FREE :)
Thanks, Lloyds TSB !
Lloyds TSB provided the penny and we were just there to press it out !! Woohooo~~~
Furthermore, we got to participate in a lucky draw session to win the Olympic tickets !!!

| The London 2012 Olympic penny |
 |
| We even got to see the performance |
The most excited moment of the day !!!!!!
I was walking around, waiting for my friends. Suddenly lisin said : "I saw someone was holding the a ticket and I saw 'Old Trafford' this name on the ticket"
Then I looked carefully, the Samsung's staff gave that guy the Olympic ticket, the venue is Old Trafford !!!
I asked Samsung's staff about the price of the ticket !
He said it is FREE !!!
*Ding* ! Our eyes opened widely and got so excited, in the mean time we were wondering that how are we going to get the tickets.
It is very easy !! We just need to download the SAMSUNG HOPE RELAY apps in our phone, register an account then walk for 1 mile....... Then we will get a FREE Olympic Ticket to watch a football match in Old Trafford !!!
Everyone of us did what he said as soon as possible and BINGO !! We got the tickets !! :D
One person will receive 2 tickets !!!
O-H-M-Y-G-O-D !!! We couldn't believe that we could actually watch any Olympic match as the tickets are quite pricey !!! But we made it !!!
THANKS SAMSUNG for giving us the FREE Olympic Ticket !!!
Thank you !! You wouldn't know how grateful are we !!
 |
| Me, happily holding the tickets ! |
 |
| 14 tickets :) |
The torch relay started and we decided to stay at the last station to witness the flame !
It is getting more and more crowded there and the weather is good ! A sunny day, but a bit hot ! Hehe
While waiting for the last torchbearer, we got to see the great performance prepared by each Olympic partners.
But I am too short to see the stage, I could only see the screen :(
Which means that I could only see the last torchbearer from the big screen !!!
However, I was still happy that I got to take part in this and feel the ambiance :)
 |
| Most of them were wearing sunglasses ! |
 |
| But I forgot to bring mine :( |
 |
| Very cute baby |
 |
| Tae & K |
 |
| Last torchbearer |
 |
| Olympic flame |
I am so so happy that I could witness the historical moment here !
To put everything in a nutshell, we came here at the RIGHT time :) hehe if not we wouldn't have any chances to witness any Olympic related event :)
