Being In The Light

Am now watching the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics on telly. They kick started the ceremony with a few breathtaking performances by the locals. It was nothing like I have ever seen before, especially the part where a few dancers move rhythmitically all over this huge piece of scroll while painting it at the same time. Truly original!

Actually Australia's swimming team chose Malaysia as their training ground in order to prepare for the Olympics in Beijing. In a televised interview, a rep from Australia reported that Malaysia is a good place to train their athletes because of its similarities in weather conditions and pollution levels to China. Haha..I never knew that Malaysia is viewed derogatoryly on environmental grounds. I mean, its not that bad, I am still alive ;)

I always view Olympics positively. It enables athletes around the globe to compete healthily in order to go for the gold. It is fascinating to see athletes all over the world gather in one location! Thanks to the Greeks.

Let the games begin!

before I go i just want to point out that I wholeheartedly disagree the plan of giving away RM1,000,000 for bringing home a gold medal. reason 1 : it is an insult to the true meaning of olympic spirit and honor......reason 2 : is the gov unaware of the economic condition in the country - rising oil prices - prices of subsequent goods rising - cost-push-inflation.....reason 3 : its taxpayers' money, so please put the welfare of the people a priority first e.g help abolish illiteracy or help those in dire poverty
