Yesterday caught the Olympic opening ceremony at 8.08 pm . Seriously , it is the best ever opening ceremony in my lifetime and it really spark the interest in me to go and watch , though I seriously hate ceremonies like this in the past. Basically , ytd the ceremony is split into many parts 1st is talking abt the 4 great inventions of china , calligraphy , compass, printing and gunpowder. Ahahah ya . Then talk about the famous ming dynasty when zheng he go around the world and the song chao where literature is flourished , and lastly, the now and future where they said about the flourish about the people building the olympic stadium (bird nest) and making the dove , which symbolises peace and harmony(also is the offical symbol of the olympic). Then talk about the future which is space as china have sent its 1st space man up to space a couple of yrs ago . And sarah brightman and liu kang sang the official olympic songs. Then is the parade of nations ahahah its the most sian part cos have to wait as singapore is the last 20 nations to appear. Ahahah as usual singapore wear purely red and the flag bearer is Li Jia Wei , one of the main medal hopefuls .Then they have Olympic bapton and ya the end of the whole thingy .
