8/8/2008 -- Beijing 2008 Olympic Games starts...

Today is finally arrived. A day of global celebration. A day of historic moment for everyone. A day of people await for a long time. Yes, today is none other than Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony Day. Most probably, most people are glued in front of the television to watch the opening ceremony. Personally, I am very excited of the fireworks because usually that is the climax of the event.


8/8/2008 at 8pm tonight, will be a night to remember. As you can see, there are a lot of eights in the date and the time. In Chinese Culture, no. 8 is a prosperous number, which also represents wealth and fortune. Oooo, I also like the no.8 too.(^ ^). Obviously, the highlight of the night is also the extremely famous Stadium in Beijing-------Bird Nest(Actually, the bird nest reminds me of a famous and expensive delicacy, 燕窝 a.k.a bird nest) . When all the fireworks are released, I bet the ceremony will be very majestic and breathtaking.


Apart from this, the mascots of Beijing Olympic Games also captivates people around the globe. With five cute and adorable mascots, they symbolize the culture and the tradition of China. Okey, it is time to let them come into the pictures.They are the FUWA(福娃).

Haha, are you all envy of me now? I have a collection of them - key chains and even Chinese famous knots(I think so).


Now, they will be introduced briefly.

From left to right:

1. Beibei (fish) -symbolizes prosperity and harvest {blue Olympic ring }
   
2. Jingjing (panda) -symbolizes blessing of happiness, harmony between human and nature { black Olympic ring}
   
3. Huanhuan(Olympic Flame) -symbolizes passion, especially in sports{red Olympic ring}
   
4. Yingying(Tibetan Antelope) -symbolizes the vastness of China's landscape, the blessing of health and the strength of the body results from harmony between human and nature{ yellow Olympic ring}
   
5. Nini (Swallow) -symbolizes the infinite sky and the spread of good luck when she opens her wings {green Olympic ring}

Furthermore, the sports games will also be very exciting as well. Which country will top the ranking? Is it China?or, is it going to be America or even Russia? Omg, I really can't wait for the results.

Hopefully, Malaysia Atletes will do Malaysia proud too. Go and snatch as many medals they can. Prove to the world that Malaysia Boleh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore, tonight, don't forget to tune in for the opening ceremony!!!!

Lucky, Lucky, Lucky, Tired, Tired, Tired!!!

Tired, tired, tired!!! After traveling so many places in just 2 days, I was totally wore out.

Ipoh>>>KL>>>Serdang>>>Semenyih>>>Kajang>>>KL>>>Ipoh


This was the route plan of the 2 days of traveling. Well, at least, I had settled some matters. But, it is not over just yet. So, before going into the really deal, I think for this post, I would just say how lucky I were. (A way of self-consoling a.k.a A way of self-cheating).

Anyway, just a few weeks ago, I had received an email from my University. Well, the mail was short and simple. I was told that I was one of the lucky draw winner after taking part in a survey. Hoho, I was so excited when I received the mail. But, when I saw my prize was .....very, very bizarre, I was put down a little. But, a prize is still a prize no matter how big or small it is. Do you want to what did I win???????? Are you anxious to find out???????? But, before that, let me show you all my lucky letter.

Bloody + Mummy 3

As you can see from my title, I am going to talk about Mummy 3. But, before that, I am going to share with you all another very interesting incident that happened yesterday. Actually, I wanted to update yesterday. However, my blogger got problem. Sigh...Oh well, what can I do? I have no choice but to update today.

Before giving out the details, let's play a little games. I will give you hints, let's guess. No prizes, but a lot of fun.

---

1. A bottle that I drank from it.
2. A towel with my sweat on it.
3. An empty plastic which I ate from it.
   

p.s: This is not an e-bay auction. Well, who wants to buy anyway(hehe, all people want is Britney's) Okey, with these kind of hints, most probably, you won't be able to know what happen.

---

more hints........

1. A plaster on my (beautiful) arm, hehe, I guess this is the main hint.
2. A lot of free food.
3. A beautiful key chain
   
4. A couple of tickets, well, this is the hint for the next incident.

Yup, you guess right!!! Yesterday, I went to donate blood. Actually, this is already the third time I donated blood.

---

It really felt good after donating blood, like I did a good thing(I did). Actually, yesterday, a lot of people were very supportive including me and my friend, Kok Leong. There were even a group of volunteers helping at the event. That was truly a event of charity. After donating blood, they even gave us a goodies-bag which consisted of food, drink, key chain, towel and etc. So, what you waiting for, a drop saves a life-----------don't be afraid to donate your blood because your red blood cells will eventually be destroyed in your body. So, if your blood can save a life, then, donate!!!!



Be a part of this meaningful even! Your blood might save more lives than you thought.!!!

Now it is the time to talk about Mummy 3.

Obviously, after donating blood, I was just near the cinema, so, again, I planned to waste some money again. With Kok Leong again, we watched The Mummy 3:The Tomb of The Dragon Emperor. Actually, I had high expectation towards this movie. This was because the Mummy and Mummy 2 were huge successes. The old movies combined the ancient and the mystical of Egypt and brought alive a movie of mysterious with ancient language, codes, and spells. Of course, I really liked the old Evelyn played by Rachel Weisz.

In this new movie, it shifted the plot from mysterious Eygpt to ancient China. This time, a lot of Chinese actors were added to pump in new excitement, such as Michelle Yeoh-Our Own Datuk, Jet Li, Isabella Leong, Russell Wong, and Jessey Meng. However, because the movie revolved a lot on the rivalry between Emperor Han by Jet Li and Zi Juan-Michelle Yeoh, the O'Connell family was little bit neglected. Apart from that, the new Evelyn was very adventurous, but, the old Evelyn just mesmerized the audience. Nonetheless, new Evelyn can really fight.

The O'Connell Family really made a great team. But, actually, I was hoping that their son won't grow up that fast. Like at least, in this movie ,he is still a teenager. But, to my surprise, his son was all grown up. Brendan Fraser was in his middle-age(But, actually, they looked like brother than father and son.)

I told you all already, they really looked like brothers.

They have been mother and daughter for more than 2000 years, Omg, they are really go at maintaning their appearances(真的很会保养哦）

The Emperor Han who united the China in the movie. He was very powerful, capable of controlling the 5 elements, water, wood, metal, fire, earth. A man crazed for power and eternity of life.

Mummy 3 was another must-watch movie. With the plot set in China, it really made the movie very interesting. I also loved the story of the beginning when Zi Juan cursed Emperor Han, it was a beautiful story.
