I was greatly impressed by the efforts of 12 year old Wei Jie as reported on the front page of Straits Times. Wearing an orange T shirt and blue bermudas and flip flops, his hands clutching a digital camera, he followed the torchbearers. He ran and ran for two and half hours, convered 15 km, undeterred by the heavy downpour along the way. He was drenched to the skin.
Well, he was noticed by the runners, the press and the traffic police. They were all greatly impressed. I was touched by this boy's passion. He said, "When I read in the newspapers that the flame was coming here (to the north east) I just wanted to see it for myself and follow it, I might never see it again."
