  Finally! after 8 years waiting China was approved to be the host of the Olympic games in 2008.....the day has come!.And i was chosen to be one of the artist to stand in front of the world to perform,although it may not have been a spotlight performance solo but having the honor to just stand on that stage amongst of the world's  elites...(i almost pissed my pants). From the opening to the closing ceremony it was like training with the military,no mistakes allowed, no cameras,even food and beverages are not allowed. On the day of the opening all the artist was on standby on one room,all nervous and praying for a smooth and safe opening ceremony...( I've never seen Jackie Chan and Andy Lau that nervous before haha....... )anyway when it was time for us to walk though the hallway into the glittering roaring stadium, tears were finding their path down the faces of most of us...it was just...damn amazing, the stadium felt like it  has a heartbeat of it's own and everything was at it's peak. Our job was to  sing at the very end of the ceremony and made sure that it came out with a bang. Don't know how many of u saw that part cause the show itself was a bit overran but i was honestly satisfied.The Olympics was for the athletes,not for singers or celebrities. Alot of ppl seem to forget that, and sms me and asked "hey how come they didn't let u sing solo or do a special performance." To be chosen amongst 1.3 billion ppl to even just stand up there was enough for me.I cried after the show, i personally thought it was a gift and a milestone for both China and myself to see and host such an event in my lifetime. ----Let the games begin!!!!!----16 days...i saw most of the games and even went to see the woman's volleyball match live. Time flies and here comes the closing ceremony. We were getting prepared just like the opening and all of a sudden  David Beckam pops out .Yes yes all the female was freakin out and i was trying to find my camera until i realized (NO CAMERAS ALLOWED) ---sigh---so on goes the closing,my feelings? refer to the first part of my blog.(lazy me)Finally it was over..all i could say is that a new page has turned for both China,the Olympics and for myself.and a new story to tell my kid .   Pity that i don't have alot of pictures with me and i guess u'll probably find better ones anyways from the press..i'll try to sneak some though...
