Olympic @ Beijing 2008


A very nice event of sports, where all the greatest stars from the world gathered here to compete against each other to achieve for higher and better result in their respective field. This year, the Olympic takes place at Beijing, China. Well, it’s not the first Olympic host in Asia country, Japan hosted once, but wonder why things seems to be like overwhelming here and there by the Chinese government… maybe we should put it as “the first in Chinese community”… that’s only true if you do think that Japanese and Chinese are not from the same origin… anyway, the “first for China” seems to be a relevant answer for me.
I watched the opening ceremony live… well, actually didn’t plan to watch it, but since my friends are asking me, so I just follow them out. Nothing to lose, right? We arrived at a Mamak Stall, and saw a bunch of China students flooding the Mamak Stall. Beside the Mamak Stall is a Chinese restaurant which those China students usually eat. After observing the crowd, I’d finally found out what’s going on there. The China students were eating at the Chinese restaurant, but the Chinese restaurant in tuning the tv, so they can’t watch the live broadcast. So what they do is they shift to the Mamak Stall beside and start watching the live. The worst part is, they occupied the whole stall without even spending a cent. When the TV of the Chinese restaurant was tuned, those China students flood back the Chinese restaurant, leaving the poor Mamak Stall behind… it really piss me a lot… those China students really dropping the reputation of Chinese all around the world… hopeless.
Beside those ugly attitudes, I would still need to praise them for showing their love to their own country. Whatever it is, the opening ceremony is nice. Is worth to wait until 12am just to watch the whole process. Good work. Now just hope those usual scenarios where Chinese judge will side the China player will never happen in this event.
