Yeap many of you were correct, Tim drew the one of the Olympic Mascots, Jingjing - bring smiles to children. He got the toy from McDonalds. Today is the Beijing Olympic 2008 opening day. It also falls on 080808. Anyway what is supposed to happen on 080808? People getting married? People delivering babies? For me, it is just another working day.
I heard from my Beijing counterparts that the site decided to shutdown and request workers to work from home. How nice. I guess it is to reduce traffic congestion on the road. After all, it is a grand day for Beijing.
By the way, the opening ceremony for Beijing Olympic will be @ 8pm on 08/08/08 Beijing time. If I see another 8, I will go crazy! Talk about auspicious who can beat us Chinese.
Tell me what you are doing on 08/08/08?
Someone just send me this, we know what some people will do….Get Themselves Stuck.

Look at the amt of ppl! I’d def want to be far far away from that crowd. Since I can’t get married or give birth on 080808, it was just an ordinary day for me loh. hahaha

Watch from TV. The best.
But fireworks, TV can’t show the ‘grandness’

zara’s mama: I heard that the fireworks was more grand on TV and heard that it was not real. It was animated.
