Beijing 2008

Opening Ceremony

It is just very unfortunate that our National Day falls a day just after the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Oh which by the way, in case you didn't watch, was spectacularly awesome! And I really mean it cos I don't usually use 2 adjectives back to back. Seriously, I felt so sorry for Singapore!

I know it was no comparison (the Olympics vs. National Day Parade?!) but we barely had 24 hours to get over the awesome-ness of the opening ceremony before Singapore let loose hundreds of secondary school students with multi-coloured clothes and face paint, running all over Marina Bay to get into 'formation'.

But as much as I felt sorry for Singapore, I'm even sorrier for those who missed the opening ceremony.
