Golden Dreams.
Aug. 9th, 2008 04:04 pmSo let's see...yesterday was fun. Came down to my alma mater early in the morning to do some last minute deco for the Alumni games stall. Bought some food from the Parent's Support Group because I've got to support my other team, no? XD (Scored some free food too since my aunt's the head. Rofl - but I feel rather bad seeing how I'm not doing my job as a website designer at all.) Work was normal as usual - copy, copy, copy - an archivist's work never seems to end. But only one more week to go!
The set up box got fixed earlier than expected so I didn't miss the Olympics! In case anyone is wondering why I was ranting in my earlier post about not being able to watch it - Channel 5 (a local FTA channel) has a tendency to show too many advertisements and cut parts out. According to their programme, the entire show's less than 1.5 hours. With cable, I saw the whole thing - it was about 4 hours.
I must say, it was completely magnificent - it'll be hard for the next few countries to top this spectacular performance. The fireworks were grand - very creative with the whole 29 footsteps. I'm just wondering though, if the Bird's Nest will be fully utilized after this whole gala event is over.
Nevertheless, learnt a lot of countries' names although I have to admit that I was so exhausted, I barely caught Singapore's, let alone China. I know I missed out on a couple of countries - but at least I was past the 200th country! XD The lighting of the torch was just awe-inspiring and it was the last thing I caught before I succumbed to exhaustion. I hope I didn't miss out on a lot of other good stuff.
Saw a couple of events today and I cannot wait for swimming in a few minutes time. I wonder if Phelps will be able to attain his 8 gold medals. Gymnastics was awesome though - but today was only the preliminaries. I cannot wait to catch the powerhouses perform. 8D I wonder if the men's cycling finals is over though...they've been cycling for about 2 hours and counting.
Since it's the 9th of August...Happy Birthday Esme!
