北京奥运会

北京奥运会终于落幕了!很遗憾,这次北京奥运会,由于考试的关系,我没办法像往年一样守在电视机前面,追看我爱看的运动项目。还好,我依然没错过最精彩的开幕及闭幕典礼。

其实不是很记得往年的奥运会开幕典礼,只是对上一届的雅典奥运会的开幕典礼,还有少少印象。如果没记错,上届的雅典开幕典礼,让我觉得带有些神秘的色彩。而这次的京奥的开幕,真的是让我一而再,再而三的发出惊叹声。那种庞大的声势,也真的只有中国这种人民很多的国家才办得到。整个开幕完完全全表现出了中国几千年来的文化,真是令人震撼啊!我第一次看时,是看英文体育频道,没有字幕,不能完全感觉到当中的意义。在看重播时,终于更清楚了解当中的意义。看重播时,我依然还是很白痴地,发出声声的惊叹!嘻嘻!

最有印象的,当然是在空中飞来飞去的飞人。据说,这个“吊威也”的“文化”是从华人这儿传出去的。而张艺谋完完全全地善用它,开幕闭幕都充分了利用“吊威也”。哈哈!在这儿,我只能对张艺谋先生致敬。原谅我以前都不怎么爱看你的电影!真是失敬失敬!

虽然过后有很多负面新闻,说什么烟花是假的啦,小歌星背后有代唱啦……可是我觉得中国对京奥的一切努力,可以盖过这些负面新闻。也因为这样,身为华人的我,也引以为傲。

虽然我错过了我最爱看的游泳、我最爱看的跳水、还有韵律操和体操,但是没有错过最精彩的开幕及闭幕典礼,相信应该没有遗憾了吧!

P/S: 相信英国应该在头痛,下一届应该怎样做呢?哈哈!

Finally...

Can't believe it is over!! Finally, I've finished Sem9 exam.. and I passed!!

It's been a tough time sitting for the exam. But, still I think I did not do my best. Actually I've been quite slacking during the 2 weeks break for study. I think I did not study as hard as I was during my Sem3 and Sem 5 exam. Everything that need to be studied has been studied, and I kept forgetting what I've studied. So depressing!!!

Anyway, I passed!! I was so nervous when the lecturer came in and announced the viva list halfway during our feedback session. When he said that only one went to viva and others should be ok, I can see that everyone was so relieved. I really feel like crying during that time.. Hahaha... This is the only time when our class is so united, hoping everyone can pass the exam.

After this exam, I know I'm still lacking a lot, hope can get to improve much more during Sem10. I think Sem10 exam is the toughest one -- long case without knowing which department you are getting. Jia you!!!
