well well well. so many things have happened.
FIRST THINGS FIRST, i am finally 18! whether that is a good thing or not remains to be seen. i have always envisioned eighteen as the "epitome-of-cool" age, where things will be fine and dandy, where i'll be partying away and having lotsa fun, wandering about various places, having the time of my life. but sadly, i now find myself mugging my life away. AHAHAH. but still, i am of the grand old age of EIGHTEEN now, officially from the 2nd of august. i feel old. time is slipping away fast. i must do a lot of things, things that can be done only when u have the excuse of youth and immaturity. and FAST.
then we have our national day. didn't watch the parade this year so i don't have much idea. refused to watch the tv broadcast too. but yes. wishing the nation a happy 43rd birthday! and may you always be prosperous and peaceful and may people here lead happy lives!
of course, we have the most important event this year, and that is none other than the BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008! the opening ceremony is the most amazing spectacle i have ever seen (not that i've seen a lot of course). china really pulled all stops, making everything so absolutely elaborate and stunning and grand and even more. AMAZINGGGG. the performances. the calligraphy piece OMG OMG OMG. the globe part, JAW DROPPING... and the best part, the lighting of the torch... first the relay and then Chinese athlete Li Ning ran suspended in mid air around the whole stadium carrying the torch, then finally reaching the gigantic torch and lighting it. too spectacular.
sad to say, i havent really followed the games closely since the opening ceremony. HAHA. congrats to Tao Li, omg she's amazing!
