Comfort

When He leads through some valley of trouble,
His omnipotent hand we trace;
For the trials and sorrows He sends us
Are part of His lessons in grace.

In every desert of trial,
God has an oasis of comfort.

All is well.

-the Jalur Gemilang at the Beijing Olympics 2008-
We had our hopes high on Lee Chong Wei last nite.
However, things did not go the way we'd so excitedly anticipated.
No doubt, Lin Dan played better and he deserved it :)
Anyway, it was still an achievement for Malaysia after a 12-yr drought since our last medal.
All in all, congratulations, Malaysia!!

Malaysia Boleh!

guy-God-girl

hear it.

*****

Congratulations, Lee Chong Wei!!!

He beat Korea's Lee Hyun-il last nite and got himself through to the finals!
the silver or gold is actually gonna be Malaysia's 4th Olympic medal!
the first medal was in 1992 by the Sidek brothers who won a bronze medal in the Men's Doubles at Barcelona followed by a silver medal and a bronze medal in 1996 at Atlanta by Yap Kim Hock & Cheah Soon Kit (Men's Doubles) and Rashid Sidek (Men's Singles)!

watch out for the final showdown against the World No. 1, Lin Dan (CHN) tmr, 17/8 @ 8.48pm!!

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games - One World One Dream

The opening ceremony last friday, 080808..

at the National Stadium - the Bird's Nest!

inside the Bird's Nest...91,000 spectators!

crazily impressive performances by the Chinese!
..the amount of manpower they have n their perfect performance...*salute



-The People's Republic of China-
the march-pass was rather draggy..haha..
204 countries altogether!



guess who carried Switzerland's flag?
heeeheee



the Olympic flag was carried by 8 Chinese young and old athletes!





for me, the most impressive part abt the opening ceremony was this...
the final torchbearer was being lifted up in the air and
he made a final lap around the stadium all the way to the cauldron!

and lastly, the fireworks was gorgeous and ALOT!
total cost for the fireworks for the opening ceremony = USD1.3million!
well done, China!

i obviously wasn't there...haha..these photos are not mine...(DUH!)
