Happy Beijing 2008

Alright, there come the party has started. Beijing has impressed the world immensely with much-anticipated exciting opening ceremony at 08.08.08 at 08:08:08pm (local time). It does sound like the Chinese planned it, eh?!

I must say my most fav Games was Seoul since it was in Asia and it was the first of my memory, and then Sydney come just right after - not that I remember much about the Games, guess it's must have been their habour that stuck in my head!
