Beijing Olympics opening ceremony was magnificent! No words can describe it. I caught the whole of the much-anticipated event live on TV. This is my 1st time watching the opening ceremony so I can't really compare. I can't believe I missed the 2004 Athens Olympics.
From the performers to the fireworks, everything was great! The fireworks were the best of all!
I had enjoyed myself. The delegates from the countries and territories walking in was also a must-watch, though it's a long affair. Team USA looked smart in their navy coats and white berets and so did some of the European countries while some African countries donned their traditional garb. Some like Team Ukraine wore blue and yellow which was memorable. Team Singapore look fine in red and khaki.
All I can say is "Well done China, you have prove yourself to the rest of the world."

Watched the preliminary round of male gymnastics. My favourite games will be gymnastics, diving and pole vault. You can see that the 3 games shared a common thing.
Honestly, how many people have the strength to balance themselves on the rings or parallel bars and do somersaults or handstands? I really admired these people.

National Day Parade was just as magnificent. Though I can't be there, it's great to watch it at home. Each year, the parade gets better.
Shine for Singapore!
