As long as one heart still holds on,
then hope is never really gone.

(edit) Oooops, i only just realised its 9th August today. Yay, Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore! Heh heh cause i got carried away with the olympics thing. But singapore has its birthday every year. Olympics happens only every 4 years leh hahaha. (/edit)

( I did this post on my livejournal yesterday, so im just copy-and-pasting it today.)
(and yes, my lj (not lanjiao ah) is private. ^^)

Mhmm, Anyway, i'm kinda watching the Olympics opening ceremony thingy. (My lappie is just next to the TV) It started and 8:08 pm. -___- so typical. Not as grand as i expected, too traditional for my taste. Alot of taichi and little children singing and whatever. I think Greece did a better job 4 years ago. They had this huge ass paper boat on the water with a lil boy on it waving the Greece flag. So cute pls.

Uhmm, Im looking at all the athletes from all over the world walk into the stadium and honestly, after awhile it gets kinda boring. I only look at the tv when America,Canada,Germany,Brazil and Singapore (Li JiaWei was the flag bearer.) walked in. Its been 40+ minutes already but countries are still walking in. Jeez. We're at Zambia now. I wonder how many more countries are left. Greece was the first country to walk in and I bet they're tired of standing and waiting for all the countries to walk in.



So cool. I wish i was an athelete too. hahaha.

Oh.The music just changed.

ZOMG last country ! China with 639 participants. US had more than china. Im glad Singapore had a sizable number, if not it'll be so embarassing pls. Cause only people who qualify can comptete. and there was this country i've never heard of with only two participants -__- Oh, and when US walked in, i saw President George Bush and the First lady on TV. Hehe, i've never seen him on tv before what hahaha, i've only seen his pic on the net leh.

Anyway cool the whole stadium is exploding! This lil boy who saved two people during the sichuan earthquake is invited to walk alongside yao ming who, naturally, is the flag bearer. Random fact #1 : He's 226m (wtf 66cm taller than me) and plays for the Housten Rockets. Ah finally the whole walking in thing can end. Random fact #2 : 91,000 strong crowd, with 20,000 performers.

Random fact #3 : 204 nations competing in the Olympics. The commentator say one. haha.

Uhm, the olympic torch thing was like the coolest. The last person who got the flame was pulled into the air and he 'ran' one lap around the stadium walls. And with each step he took, the wall, which is actually a tv screen or smth, showed little vidoes of all the people who lit the olympic torch before.

And Random fact #4 : The olympic torch travelled some 137,000 km, mostly by air, over 130 days of international and chinese relay legs, including a leg to the summit of Mt Everest.
Huh, so cool.

And the fireworks were amazing. They kinda exploded in time to the music. Heres one picture i managed to get off the net. Haha, people are so efficient. The ceremony's not even over and they've already posted pics up ^^



Anyway,I'll edit with more pictures later. Cause i cant find any on the net yet. Still too early i think.
