A nice finish to an awesome start...

" Goodbye Beijing, Hello London "

After 16 days of great sports, the time to close the curtains is up. Unfortunately, i couldn't follow this 29th Olympic Games as closely as i did with the Euro2008 due to time constraint in uni and because of that, i only, on and off, watch them during my breaks or interval. Having said that though, i tried my utmost best to keep updated with the progress through the newspapers or surf smoothly through the official Olympic 2008 Beijing website. China hosted this magnificent event and opened with an unforgettable start, and topped the table with 51 gold medals. I wouldn't say i love sports very much, but i have to admit that i like this as it is not only about sports but so much more- if you get what i mean.

Friday, again, i went back home.And this time, not in desperation. I even managed to catch the 1.30pm bus back to KL, which means i was back in an approximate time of 4.30pm ( giving about 3 hours ride ). Had dinner at home, not even thinking of the food in the cafe in my 'village', UTP.

Albeit going back means short holiday, still, i had to bring home some notes to revise- quizzes and tests are coming up! Allocated time to study over the weekend, i also reserved some time for other things like shopping and 'makan'. Plus, we had little preparation to a big upcoming event too. Days went by, and on Sunday, came another ceremony.

Olympic Games 2008 closed its curtains on the 24th August 2008 with a pleasant ceremony. As i missed the Opening Ceremony at home, i caught the Closing back home.

A great opening for a Closing ceremony.

Fantastic performances one after another.

Another reason to wow.

Exploding fireworks end the night.

It was a nice finish to an awesome start. What can i say? Credits to all involved. Monday morning, back to life in uni, routine.

wc08 still feels the heat of the 'flame' and feeling great with the weekend!
