I must confess I could not sleep so I was up at 4:30 a.m and watched the opening ceremonies live; but sort of snoozed a little. However, got to work early to find our entire system was down so we had no choice but to watch TV in the Hub. What a spectacle...such artisty and synchronicity. It would be tough to match this event. Nothing was held back in the magnitude and the scope of this celebration. I like to watch the Malaysian team come in, songkok's and golden national dress and sarongs. I have always been an Olympics junkie and just enjoy all the events. We might have thought once we would be sharing in this experience but there's nothing wrong in supporting a dream once upon a time. I plan to watch as much as I can. At work I created an Olympic spirit promotion to get our members excited about the whole universal and multicultural aspect of the games...we have a large world map with flag pins to mark birth places, a poll about favourite sports to watch and a medal count contest. I even had an Olympics venue bus trip to Whistler take place today.
Anyway...wanted to make sure that I posted on this auspicious day.
We watched the Opening Ceremonies during the prime time version. Amazing as always. I just love the traditions, the...I don't know...just love this kind of stuff. And I thought 'Yay, Camy!' when Malaysia entered. Hehe! I always try to relate teams or events to people I know. :)
ReplyDeleteI was watching earlier today. Saw some volleyball and cycling and swimming and those scul-things. What I really want to see is equestrian and womens gymnastics.
Thank so much for relating to me!! It was quite bright for a team uniform, don't you think? We know swimmers and waterpolo players on the canadian teams personally so it makes those sports exciting...but I love the Olympics and watch all teams avidly!
