Olympics Opening

As i'm writing this blog now, the tv program is showing the opening of olympics 2008 at Beijing.

Very spectacular, the level of participation & display really showed how much effort china had put in to make it an event one can remember for a long time.

I wonder when will Singapore be able to have the chance to host such a grand event. Tomo is the National Day & i'm sure it will be that impressive to me as well.

No tickets to the NDP, been balloting for many yrs but somehow couldn't get it. Maybe it's just my luck, have to stay at home & watch it on TV.

5 mins ago the opening was showing our Singapore team walking around the stadium aka " bird's nest". Felt kinda proud of our athletes as they walked round & waving the singapore flags. We are such a small country but able to complete with them on a international level.

Wouldn't it be great if the opening is the same day as NDP. We'll be celebrating together with the whole china tomo. Surely this will be a significant milestone in the course of history.

Had durians for dinner at the branch today. Long long time since i last tasted this king of the fruits. Bring back fond memories of my dad buying back when i was a kid & opening it with a screwdriver.

Well, having it together with my colleagues is not too bad. Very filling & i had lots of fun.

The marching of the athletes is about to come to an end. China is displaying their athletes now, a whopping 696 of them!

Hopefully when i go to beijing during sept i will be able to at least catch a little of the olympic spirit there!
