Beijing Olympics 2008

The Beijing Olympics 2008 opening ceromomy was really a spectacular show.The show incorporated everything from acrobats to Chinese calligraphy to terracotta soldiers telling the world the 5000-year history of China. Many variations of fireworks burst from the "Bird's Nest" National Stadium. They were also set off in Beijing city outside the stadium. There are more than 15000 performers and dancers on that night. They were all so well-coordinated. I am sure they had put in a lot of efforts during their practices.

A striking performance had been given by some dancers who painted on a Chinese painting scroll. The painted scroll was even lifted and turned alive. This was very fascinating. In addition, the performers' costumes and lightings were very colourful too. It was really like a fantasy.

I wish I was in the stadium watching the live performance on that night. I am very proud of the Chinese. They have put so much efforts and made the opening show a real success. I learnt from them that as long as Singapore work as a team we will be able to make our dreams come true.
