Chapter 361 - the Beijing Olympics
ZOMG, w00t, OMGWTF.... (and more)

The above are what I'd use to describe the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony. The production of it is simply mindblowing, and the execution flawless. The human formations which involved like the population of Singapore were incredible, to say the least. One can only imagine the amount of rehearsals that have taken place before today. The segments were creative - I loved the giant scroll in the middle -- took me a while to figure out how it could be done. (my "solution" of how they did it stems from the fact that the cost of this olympics is something like US$40billion? - completely defines the chinese saying of "if you have money, you can even make ghosts push the ink" [very directly and losely translated. but meaning, doing the seemingly impossible])

If you've missed the ceremony, i'm sure there's bound to be repeats of it on TV, if not, it'll be on Youtube or something..... Don't miss out on it...

(seriously, when is the Singapore contingent coming out????)
