Olympic - Beijing

so, two days ago, I totally forgot about the Olympic opening ceremony. Then when me and Irvan were on our way home from Tim Horton (my usual basecamp), he told me that the Beijing Olympic started on that day. Then we rushed home and checked the TV and internet. We were 12 hours away from the show eventually.

I then started this plan inviting many people to my house but eventually we got four people coming. Hendry brought his Harvey's burgers and we made burgers and fries while watching the ceremony.

The ceremony itself was wonderful. I should praise the Chinese government and the event organizers of how they can organize thousands performers and able to turn the performance into "super-duper delirious". So many fireworks ! ! bleh, I should have gone there.

but I can't watch the ceremony to the end though, becoz I got an interview yesterday and worked at 12 yesterday. I thought that I might need to watch the replay later on TV or internet.
Then I went to work, before I got a chance to go to changeroom, David (the master of all potters) called me "hey, andrew (this guy would probably never understand how to pronounce my name the right way), come watch the olympic in the office". The show was near to the end I think, and I was so amazed with how the runner lighted up the torch. He ran and fly?






as the side story, this is my favourite mascot, Huan Huan.






another side story, I was writing this article when I realized that it is raining outside. Now, how can I go to work? should they just put the plates outside and let the rain wash them?
