~*Life After Olympics*~

For past 16days I have been addicted to Olympics, basically turn the TV on as soon as I get home. The Kiwis did well with the medals, I almost cry when Mahe used all his energy to compete the race, he has done a wonerful job. *RESPECT TO YOU BRO*

Now back to my normal life - Been really busy with everything. Packing, packing and packing. I reckon I am busier during the weekend and after work than normal working hours. Though not as busy, work has been quite full on and some of works it's just repetitive.


Concentrate on planning!!!!

~*Beijing Olympics 2008*~


Since the heat topic at the moment is all about the Olympic in Beijing, of course, I am taking a closer look at the event.
Stayed up all night till 4am (due to time differences), just for the Kiwi team made their entrance to the Bird Nest in Beijinng.

No doubt the opening ceremony was breathtaking. Cries of excitement started at the very beginning... from the light drums countdown to the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" style for the lighting of the Olympic flame. Guess... because I can somehow related to the history of China the sets that been performed have made a lot of sense to me. I was particularly touched of the theme song, though may not be the most vocal/up beat song... the simple lyrics and rythm just brought back the them of - You and me, from one world.. it's that simple...

Since 2001, after the announcement that Beijing will host the 2008 Olympics, honestly, I havent pay much attentions and frankly, I can say 70% of what I have heard about the event has been negative. Hence, I haven't pay much attention to it. But after the Opening ceremony from last night... I have done some google on it.

Li Ning, the one who light the Olympic Flame running across the wall.... He is indeed a legend of gymnastic... Then I googled him and saw some of the footage from youtube. After you see his sets in gymnastic back in the 80's, then you'll know - THAT'S why he been addressed as the King of Gynast!




Now, I know why Chinese were so looking forward to this day....


GO Go the Kiwi!!!
Go GO the Malay!!!
Go Go the Chinse!!!

These, what made up of me... lol...
