Perpaduan Teras Kejayaan!

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!!

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!

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!)

...all courtesy of the internet, of coz :p
nway, for those who hv not watched this, this 4-hour long opening ceremony is a must-watch..really!...i wish i was there in person!
but no complains, watching it from the tv aint bad...hehe..
it was good timing also...i was home last fri, watching it wif my parents :)

just had 2 very tough midterm papers today, one in the morn n the other at nite. i've never felt so stressed out for midterm exam before..am so not looking forward to finals.

right now, am very tired. mentally. n itz like so wonderfully wonderful tht from monday onwards, it's the midterm break :) gonna be back in JB the whole week...to be Princess.. not tht im not one here in Mlk (thanks to korkor and soly)..but it'll be different coz i'll be under the care of the King n Queen themselves :D
it's been some time since i went home..and i only realized tht when im under alot of stress here in Mlk..and very much in need of parental TLC... *emo

i officially proclaim leave from any biz tht gives me stress this coming week... dedicating my time only to my family, dear-dear frens, and sadly, revision for 4 more papers after the break.

to all my MMU frens, hv a good break ahead. take good care :)

a piece of my mind.

the Clique 5!

soly, joash, ai, esther, rachel
:)

the 5 of us decided to check out the Bon Odori at Shah Alam...

in case u're wondering wat isit,
according to Wiki, this festival is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honour the departed spirits' of one's ancestors.
the evening started off with the opening ceremony...

..followed by the Bon Dance where everyone was supposed to dance along..
but we just stood there and watch instead :)

the guys!

the girls with pretty little jap girls!

The Japs in their traditional kimonos...

Fashion Alert!!!
the Msians Jap-wannabes.....
-_-

as u can see, the place was crazily crowded with ppl...
we had to walk quite a distance from our car too..
we didnt stay on for the whole thing as it was dinner time and the food there was kinda pricy...
plus, we were getting bored..haha..

so we headed to Midvalley for dinner @ MFM :)

Happie3frens with beautiful bougainvilleas outside joash's house!

nice Klang bak kut teh!

this is the dry one...yummy too!!




thanks, Joash for bringing us around!



and Soly, for driving us! =D

thank God for the invention of GPS..haha..central roads are really impossible!!
we had fun getting lost and getting back on track thanks to the GPS :D
Thank God for the little getaway... :)
as for now, back to Melaka and the daily routines.

A day at a time.

Cousins

..namely Sarsi, Zesty Zapple, Groovy Grape, and Cool Ice Cream Soda :)
BUT, i never knew wat F&N stands for
till 2 weeks ago when i spotted this ancient bottle...

Fraser & Neave!
