Today's the final day of the Olympics. I cannot help but feel sad coz for the last 2 weeks I've been practically glued to the TV watching my favorite events. All good things must come to an end, they say... sighhhh...
But I'm looking forward to the closing ceremony tonight cos David Beckham will make an appearance. Hmmm... I wonder whether he will sing! Haha... The Beijing Olympics have definitely left an impact on me. I will never forget the bolting speed of Usain during the 100 meter dash and the sheer determination of both pole vaulters, Elena Isinbaeva and Steve Hooker! What a show it has been :D
So, I bid my goodbye to Beijing and look forward to London in 4 years' time.

Definitely going to miss it.. Olympics is a must for my family to watch.. ever since I was small, I've always remembered my parents watching the Olympics and making us watch it with them. From the opening until the closing, I've enjoyed every bit of it. And this year, having Chong Wei secure M'sia a medal is a definite plus!!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the numerous world records and history being made!
Shemah ~ I think I've only started watching the Olympics in... urmmm, I forgot the year but I remember it was in Los Angeles and Carl lewis was the man!
ReplyDeleteThose days, when it comes to sports, my dad only watched boxing, which I dislike.
Carl Lewis Nessa? Old Fogeys like me remember as far back as the times when Sebastion Coe was in the Olympics ... hehehe ...
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, I'm going to miss the Olympics too ... Now to wait for four whole years for the next one!
Nick ~ Sebastian Coe?? I was probably just a baby at that time! LOL! I can wait 4 years but I doubt I'd be awake in the wee hours of the morning...
ReplyDeleteYa bah kan, Nessa. I just realized that we have to wake up odd hours in the next four years to watch it. Darn!! I was so comfortable with the Beijing time. :(
ReplyDeleteKalau dulu2 tu, main lumba lari, siapa laju jak, kena panggil Carl Lewis. Now, Bolt's the man!!
My mom watched Mark Spitz setting the record and now she gets to see Phelps do it. But yeah, I agree with you that Steve Hooker was something amazing!!
Shemah ~ Tepaksa la tingu highlights seja la nanti ni kan.
ReplyDeleteYa bah, sia ingat lagi my school mate's name was Carl Lewis, full name lagi tu... haha. Tapi dia memang laju lari 100m oh!
That Phelps fella is something else la, I wonder who'd be the next person to get 8 or more gold medals in the Olympics...
