Beijing Olympics V.S. NDP 08

2 Parades
2 Days
Bejing Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony
National Day Parade 2008 Shine!

On friday, when i watched the BJOlympicsOpeningCeremony, i was super-duperly awed by the ceremony.
The ceremony was brilliant and it featured many aspects of Chinese culture, not to mention the massive amount of performers, with each Act featuring 2008 performers!

I felt that the best part of the performance was the lighting of the torch. Li Ning, the final torchbearer, was lifted off the ground with strings before he was brought AROUND the stadium upper walls. The whole finale of the torchrelay was brilliant!

He would then light the torch at the top of the stadium.

I relli think that London would have a big problem trying to match the Bejing Olympic's Opening Ceremony in 4 years time 2012.

In fact, after watching the opening ceremony, I didn't feel like watching the NDP anymore, because i felt that NDP would be inferior to the Olympics.

But despite the magnificent BejingOlympics OpeningCeremony, the NDP tugged the heartstrings more as its closer to Singapore. This year's NDP featured more aspects of the Singaporean Community, and despite the heavy drizzle in 40 years of NDP, the performers still did their best and didn't let Singapore down!

Happy National Day
