Hmmm, I was going to update on some of the nasty thoughts which I have with regards to some matters, but, happier matters are overriding it.
Well, the Beijing Olympics has drawn its curtains and the next host - London, England, will be where Olympics 2012 will be. Personally, I feel that the Opening of the Beijing Olympics is more spectacular than the closing. Come to think of it, there are many games whereby the opening is much grander than the closing. Is the same for the Commonwealth and the Asian Games. I still like the fireworks of the opening best.
On the fireworks ... ...
I went with Agnes and S to the fireworks on Friday, which I must say, was disappointing. The Korean one was better, so I heard. I am glad that Agnes had a good fireworks show last night. I was very happy with the food, errr, though a abit too much. I remembered we kept ordering and sharing the food. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic Friday evening. You can go to Agnes's blog and look at the amount of food we had. Yummy!!!
I was a bit upset with the French fireworks. Compared to the last firewors which I saw in 2006, the fireworks on Friday was pretty lacklustre. There were only balls and balls of fireworks and a stingy fountain of fireworks at one corner. I will try to upload some pictures later on, if I can.
Alright, back to Olympics. In conjunction with the Olympics, Giordano Beijing held a special showcase, featuring works by invited designers, who were to design t-shirts based on the theme "World Without Strangers". MayDay's lead vocalist - Ashin's friend and partner of Stay Real - No2Good was invited and I am happy to say that I now have that t-shirt, designed by Mr No2Good. Alright, I know, supporting Ashin does not mean that I must support his friend too, right? But Mr No2Good's works are quite cool. You must check out his other works from his blog. I have the blog link on my blog too.
Now that the Olympics has come to a close, I must say that I am most impressed with Micheal Phelps. Alright, I am a Phelpy fan (minus that time when he had that funny looking moustache), hence, the foucs on him. Actually, Kitajima and Park Taehwan from Japan and Korea respectively, are cute too. Strange, all my favourite sportamen seem to be all swimmers.
The javelin winners are cute too. The bronze medalist from Finland and the gold medalist from Norway are deliciously, cute!!! Of course, Liu Xiang's unexpected exit from the 110m hurdles, which caused so much anger and unhappiness from his fans, was one of the unhappy highlight from the Olympics too.
The other event which I liked was the BMX event, a new event introduced at this year's games. Very exciting!!!
This Olympics will also be of special meaning for Singapore. The long awaited medal was finally won by the Table Tennis Women team at the team event. The final, which saw a medal coming this time round, was so important that the Prime Minister's National Day Speech Rally was postponed!!! The Prime Minister's National Day Speech was POSTPONED!!!
Alright, that's about the stuff I have. I shall try to upload some pictures later.
