Amended : The title should be seventh lunar month instead of eighth.
Orginal :
The date itself is the perfect blend of superstitous element which sounds good to the Chinese tongue haha...me included.
The opening well is grand though I think YiMou overdo in the puppet and some solo dance segment. The opening 2008 pax drum sequence was stunning. The brush-writing-dancer segment was kinda haunting yet captivating and endless claps should go to Mr. Li Ning who "fly" around the stadium with wire hanging around his waist to do the sky-walking routine to light the torch!!!
Well, my mom said a tad boring with serious stuff on Chinese culture and civilization. But I am glad it was done without the cliche-overdone elements such as tanglung/lanter, dragon dance and yes....surprisingly panda!!!!!!!!!!! And also..... where're the 5 fuwa??? Maybe closing I guess...
The ASTRO stopped the live after Jackie Chan, Karen Mok, Sun Nan and Han Hong sang a number, much to my dismay!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, not that I like to hear Jackie's singing......
Oh, Malaysia's squad uniform is BORING and the color is SO DULL!!!!!!!! Well, not that the China's contigent is anywhere better though you can't deny that their yellowish-orange and red were sharp among the other contingent's color.
The medal chase began!!!!!!!!!!
