七夕

Today is 7th August, seventh day of the seventh lunar month on the Chinese calender, which is also the 七夕day. This is also sometimes called Chinese Valentine's Day. It is famously known for the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl (牛郎织女). If want, you can read the story of this here.

Today is also the last day before the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. One world one dream. I am looking forward to see the opening ceremony and hope that me and my hubby can be home in time to watch it tomorrow... I've heard the radio saying this China had put a lot of effort in this opening ceremony and I believe that it's going to be a very memorable and touching, so prepare your tissues...

Here's one of the photo from the rehearsal of the opening ceremony that I got from Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Official Website... Can't wait to see something like this tomorrow..

Tomorrow I'll be meeting up with some of my highschool classmates for lunch @ IZZY. It's been quite some time since we've last met, I think it was during my wedding lunch if not mistaken...
Well, it's about time for us to catch up...

This year's Tech·Ed SEA 2008 was held very early, which is in August, compared the last two years where it was held in mid September. My guess will be that September is the Puasa month, and the audience will be less if they held it then. Compared to the last two years, this year's event wasn't any surprise. However, this is the only year I felt like I've gained a lot in the first day itself: attended all talks in the afternoon session, got a lot of freebiesfrom the exhibition hall, joined quite a number of games etc... Maybe it was because we had only one day and had to gained the most of it... :-p And I enjoyed...

My first blog and post

Finally, my first post in my own blog... I've been wanting to have my own blog, but was either too busy or too lazy to sign up. There's so many option out there: Blogspot, Windows Live Spaces, Friendster etc, but the reason why I choose Blogspot? Hmm.. Good question.. Maybe I just felt Blogspot has the things which I need and is already widely used by my friends, so I gave it a shot... Anyway, having my own blog is one of the 100 things I would like to do before I die. I am glad that it's still not too late, just hope that I have the determination to continue it. So stay tune for any latest post...
