9th aug 2008 - awesome beijing 2008!

opening ceremony olympic 2008 started last night at about 8pm, i watch it through channel 5.. a v touching performance i would say.. to see such a big troop of performers & audience participate in dis memorable event.. i took them plenty of time & effort to make things perfect! finally d DREAM COME TRUE! One World One Dream..

[the star] China put on a stunning display of pageantry and pyrotechnics to open the 2008 Olympic Games at the National Stadium in Beijing. It was depicted as the largest, costliest extravaganza in Olympic history, bookended by barrages of some 30,000 fireworks during a performance that took a 4 billion worldwide audience through 2,000 years of Chinese history

China’s most successful film director (zhang yi mou) spent three years creating the ceremony, which had all the flair and scale of one of his epic films, House of Flying Daggers or Hero. It included hundreds of kung fu fighters dressed in matching white, opera singers and dancers.

the "drum" performance (缶陣) was made up of 2008 participants & it really shock me, how perfect their movements are..

[星洲] 缶是中國老的打擊樂器,由陶土或青銅製成
there is this little girl in red who sang Hymn to My Country, has a v good voice & i almost cried when seeing children fr 56 ethnic grp fr China walked a giant China flag across d stadium.. they r d future! it then proceed wit some sort of story telling, introducing China history focusing on their 4 major inventions: the paper, printing, compass & gunpowder

[星洲] 儀式分三個流程
在歡迎儀式,展示奧運五環,中國國旗入場,升中國國旗,奏中國國歌後,長達一個小時的文藝表演開始精彩呈獻。文藝表演定名《美麗的奧林匹克》,上篇為《燦爛文明》、下篇為《輝煌時代》。

在藝術風格上,北京“用
世界語言講述中國故事”,以中國特有的“繪畫長卷”為線索,以水墨為表現形式,用中國美學的寫意精神展現東方文明的底蘊,用絢爛的色彩展示勃勃生機,賦予開幕式現代性和國際性風貌。

第三部分為文藝表演後的儀式部分,儀式進行
約兩個半小時,包括運動員入場式、北京奧組委主席劉淇致辭、國際奧委會會長羅格致辭,中國國家主席胡錦濤宣佈奧運會開幕,然後是運動員代表宣誓、裁判員代表宣誓、放飛和平鴿、場內火炬傳遞及最終的點火儀式,最後是歡慶焰火,鳥巢上空璀燦亮麗。

d theme song of d day: You & Me was sang by LiuHuan & Sarah Brightman, simple yet meaningful..
