Can't believe that I did not blog on the the triple 8 date.
So there was the opening ceremony. So there were 14 thousand people. The countdown on the drums really impress me. Nasib baik Malaysia dah keluar awal2. By the time pulau2 apa yang aku tak pernah dgr tu keluar, aku dah tido pun. Aku tgk nyonya yang terkinja2 tgh padang tu pun mcm dah tak bergerak dah. I missed the lighting of the torch. Saw it the next day. Berapa banayak suspense wire la yang diaorg pakai.
Aku masih tak tahu macam mana the 'globe' tu boley keluar from the middle of the field. How high was the stage? Hmmm...
It was said that the facilities cost China 37.5 bilion. They sure went for the whole 9 yard. Untuk archery yang boley buat kat padang sekolah tu pun ada stadium on its own. But seriously, the Bird's Nest or the Ice Cube didn't really capture my interest. Neither Phelps 11 gold medals.
But this....
Pernah dengar Canoe/Kayak Slalom? I have never either till today. Just imagine skiing slalom, but instead of using ski to manuver around the obstacles, use have to paddle your canoe around it. Or better still, like going whitewater canoing but with obstacles. BEST GILA! Read more here
Aparently this is not new. Previous games pun dah ada. How could I miss it? This afternoon's event delayed pulak sebab bad weather.
Tapi aku tetap tabik spring sebab they build a man made course for this. Imagine lepas ni orang semua boley datang situ and try it out. Macam theme park. Read abou the Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park here
On other news, last man standing - Lee Chong Wei made it to the semis. Good luck bro! Malaysia Boleh!
