Thank you Beijing!

The 2008 Olympics in Beijing has come to an end.

Very happy that these Olympics were within favorable time zones, like the 2000 Sydney games.

When it goes to London in 2012, it'll be like the 2004 games in Athens... an almost zero chance of catching any of the events live...

Oh well, super kumxia to Beijing for a memorable 2ish weeks of record breaking sports. Kumxia!

Plus a special thank you to the Singapore Women's Table Tennis team who earned a Silver medal in the first team event in ping pong. The only other medal Singapore won was another silver medal way back in 1948... :-)

Today's Inspiration - 11Aug'08

Reese's for the afterlife?

It is the 7th lunar month, a whole month's whole of Halloween...

We did the prayer thing last Saturday and chanced upon Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! And not in the usual party pack!

Several sheets of the silver paper were 'printed' with what appeared to be the front packaging for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

My aunt had noticed that if you remove the thin plastic lining, we'll get our silver paper without the peanut butter cups.

Hhhmmm... is this my grandpa's way of telling us that he wants some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

On this 8th day of the 8th month in the year 2008, i want to thank everyone who's made my life worth living, and continue to make my life worth living.

Kumxia!

P.S.

The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was gorgeous! Lots of people, lots of fireworks! Plus that colorful mural made of dancers, little kids, and thousands of footprints was beautiful idea, Zhang Yimou did a good job. :-)

Plus, that final lap of the olympic torch across the top of the bird's nest stadium to bring alight the spirit of this year's games. The fireworks were indeed breath-taking, all the way in the beginning with the giant footsteps leading to the stadium, to the closing fireworks which set the Beijing sky in pulsating light streams.
