Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony=AWESOME!!!!

fianally, the beijing olympic games has started. the games opening ceremony started at 8pm, 8th of august 2008 (08.08.08). today is also the 8th day of the month according to lunar calendar. seem like the chinese really care about the number 8. everything also must be 8.

the opening ceremony was superbly awesome. it was the best ever games opening ceremony especially the firework display. super nice and long, like it is free. well, china is the largest firework manufacturer so maybe for them it is like nothing. too bad can only watch it via tv. damn no syoik lah. how i wish i was there.

for those who missed the opening ceremony, better go watch the replay because it was too good to be missed out. alot of incredible perfomances like the drum part, olympic symbols lighting, painting of the scroll, etc. all are world class performance man. super nice! not wonder even our king also wanna go there to watch it live.

the ceremony lasted bout 3hours, including the arriving of each country sport team, until the lighting of the olympic flame. that part was quite chun also, because it look like those martial art movie where people walks on the walll. quite a creative way to light the flame up. if you are firework lover, then you should watch the ceremony. haha.
