Is there anything the Chinese can't do?

Missed the 8:08 pm live broadcast of the Beijing Olympics opening, and saw only the Sportsman march-in. Luckily Channel U was re-telecasting at 11:30pm, so I rushed into the bedroom to watch that till 1:40am... totally worth sacrificing a bit of sleep for.
I love the drum performance at the beginning, totally awesome. So much creativity! So artistic and so much precision, definitely impressive. I have to take my hat off to Zhang Yi Mou. Trust him to intertwine a meaningful theme & storyline with visually pleasing performance that is still worthy of being called ART! I think it takes so much passion and Patriosm for the performers to be so committed to slog through 10 months to put up such a seamless performance. Truly an enjoyable experience for everyone.... BRAVO!
Today, Singapore celebrates its 43rd birthday with a parade and performance at Marina Bay... hopefully it won't be overshadowed by the Olympics opening ... I am sure the organizers must have been very stressed with fear of being compared with the Beijing's extravaganza..... nevertheles...
I LOVE SINGPORE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May the new direction of the Singapore Flyer brings in more wealth and fortune and luck for our country!
