a day to remember

It seems that everyone is making a big hoo-hah on this triple-prosperity day.
but what is so special about it?

Of course it's the world Auspicious day for the Olympic Games 2008!!!


Being the host of the olympic games this year, PR of China had chosen today [08.08.08], as the official date for their opening ceremony celebration.

Reflecting strongly on their national culture, I watched the opening ceremony in awe while munching on pitzas and mom's favourite O' Brian aka OBIEN ceasar salad. I totally could not imagine the amount of manpower and national spirit all combine in a syncronized effort to make this celebration a blast!

Watching thousands of performers dancing, thumping and singing together...keeps me wondering how, in the first place they came up with the choreography!?

They certainly advanced in the use of modern technology especially with the LCD-like flooring, the LED lights and also the fireworks (the running footprints towards the birdnest and the smiley faces)!! yet, they did not fail to perform the art and tradition of their country.

[p/s: did anyone notice the wireless receivers each performers had?? *double wow*]

They definitely deserve a world class salutation!!!  

Congratulation China!!

and to all of you, enjoy watching the olympic games. =)

I've been receiving a lot of SMS-es today, saying 08.08.08 is a special day, as the last time it appeared was 100 years ago.

to me,
everyday is special, because it appears only once in your lifetime.

So, cherish every single day. live as if it is your last =)
