Beijing Olympics 2008


Congratulation Singapore for coming second in place for the women table tennis in the Olympics.Before all these excitement begins,it started with a wonderful opening ceremony.Li Jia Wei going in to the 'bird nest' in Bei Jing.During that moment,I felt very proud of Singapore.After the march in,they put up a performance well a very interesting one.I can't count it all but I think a hundred of people playing the drum.Don't know how they do it but how fast they beat the drum,the faster the light flickers.It was time for lighting of the Olympics torch.It took them quite a long time to just light the torch.It was cool.Just a kiss and the fire lit the huge torch moulded to the stadium.Fireworks around the stadium shot up.It was uncountable.I could not count the many different kind of fireworks.It lasted about 10-15 minutes.Maybe it was because Bei Jing was the host and they need to welcome the foreigners and at the same time,celebrate the start of the Bei Jing Olympics.Although,Singapore only got a Sliver for table tennis.(which is good enough)But the players show sportsmanship when they step into the stadium.(I know this because I'm a bowler myself and I learn it all but is still more for me to learn)Hope when its time for the youth Olympics...Singapore would be a good host.
