This is no news. The opening ceremony or the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing 2008, bird’s nest was amazing. No amazing race could ever compete with this “amazing” word described here.
The opening ceremony was really creative and a many times caught me breathless even when I was in front of the screen.
The first was the lifting of the 5 Olympics rings which I think was made of light bulbs or some sort into the air. Like the commentator said, in previous events it was either on the floor or the side or whichever but only at one place. This went from flat on the ground to a vertical hanging in the air and with angel flying around. Truly spectacular.
The lighting of the Olympic torch was much awaited by millions as no one knew how it was going to be. The idea of flying or rather running in mid air around the bird’s nest with the scroll of the whole Olympic torch relay around the world was great. It gave the feeling of seeing the torch being relayed from its first post right to the lighting of the torch in that few minutes of flying feat.
I liked the releasing of the dove song and action a lot and when the screen showed the audience did it with their hands like depicted on the big screens in the stadium and the girls on stage, I smiled. Let’s just say capturing thousands of dove and keeping them in cages just to be released back in an event for people to see is not my cup of tea.
The later events was worth the wait, the 2 hour long marching of the athletes into the stadium was well, a bit boring for me such as the lighting of the Olympic torch.
However I still find some things could be better. I still do not catch why the announcement where made in that order. I still don’t know what was the first language being announced, well, I did not check anyway. The thing that made me think was the announcements, I still think that the host language should be used first that is announcements should be made in mandarin first then followed English or whatever language that should be used.
This time around it is more fun to watch when the announcer we watch are speaking in Cantonese and well, time is good too. Asian time rocks for me.
Electricity bill for 4 hours TV = RM 30
Durian, junk food, tea during show = RM 50
Watching it in Cantonese and with my parents = Priceless

Port Dickson, yes Port Dickson the beach, not whatever you are thinking about. Well it was during the long Wesak holidays I think. Were planning for Yogjarkarta with the colleagues but the flight prices were soaring by the time we were even free to check the web for tickets due to our heavy and mad schedules. We bunked at one of our colleague’s sister’s apartment which saved us many bucks which we are all grateful as we’re quite cost conscious in a way.
It was a really nice trip where we just laze back trying to forget about work but ended up our conversations were based on work and nothing but work. We had so much fun and the place was really great though the water still looks very dirty.
We were treated with a great sunset while we tried to start the fire and have our little barbeque on the porch of the apartment…
