The One With London Twenty Twelve

As a Malaysian, let me first congratulate Lee Chong Wei and Pandelela Rinong for their great performance to fly the Malaysian flag in the London 2012. One may think living in a host country for a Commonwealth Games (1998) is the pinnacle of any big sports event for oneself. And when I knew that I will not just be in London, but will also live in London for the Olympic London 2012, I was actually quite ecstatic to be part of it. Truth be told, I was one of the sceptics on the way the Olympic was being organised before the games start. To begin with, many of us still remember how good it was the opening ceremony in Beijing even it was more than 4 years ago (remember the kid singing and the flying torch bearer?:)). Besides being held using public transport on many occasions, the organiser (LOCOG) wasn’t helping by announcing that they have to draft in thousands of army personnel to fill up gaps left by the Security Company (G4S) days before the opening ceremony. Even at 8:59pm

Or is it remember remember, the fifth of November? :) still don't give a damn on what's Bon fire all about. But on the way back yesterday I just realized, wow, has it been the 4th Bon fire since we first came to the UK? Gosh... Anyway, had a walk near to the Olympic park and managed to snap this... Yup.. It's real!! Olympics 2012 is getting real and near :) some how it reminds me of Bukit Jalil in 1997 when KL hosted the 1998 Commonwealth games. And wow!!! Has it been 12 years since then??? Goshh... I think I've been a bit negative in this post. Let end with some great news. Yup... Christmas is just weeks away and it's always fun and exciting leading towards the holiday season. And of cos, my birthday!!! And and... Ermmm... Has it been our 5th anniversary already???Stay tune...
