Amazement.

I've been anticipating the Beijing Olympics since the word got out that it'll be fantastic this year.
All the secretive rehearsals...the excited atmosphere...the rumours of who'll be the last one to pass the Olympic torch...
Everything's got me to look forward to the 2008 Beijing Olympics greatly.

And after watching the Opening Ceremony for 4 hours...
I must say, China is AWESOME!!
Woot!! Woot!!
I'm in absolute AWE at the creativity and the tidiness of all the people!!

The Opening Ceremony was utterly amazing!!
Very extravagant, very appealing to visual, very sensational!!!
(It was kinda sad that there wasn't much explanation though...it would have been better if there was a narrator or something...)

All the same...
Can I say, tonight...
I'm truly PROUD to be a Chinese!!!!

Not so part of the group.

I figured out it's not the question of "fitting-in"...but the question of "belonging-in" in the group.

From experience....I understand friendship needs time to build up and deepen...
To fee like "part of" something is important...

You can't try too hard if it's just different.

It's not the same.
