On August 8th, 2008, Beijing will kick off the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. We will all have our eyes fixed on the TV because that’s the closest we could go. Except for some those who represent their home countries in the games, the rest of us would just have to watch the games on our TV sets.
Also on the August 8th, I will be leaving the Wetlands Institute, my “home” for the past 10 weeks. I arrived in Stone Harbor on May 25th with no expectations of what the place would be like, no friends to call my own, and no clue of what was going to happen in the next 10 weeks. And now, 10 weeks later, I am leaving the place I have started to love and the friends I have made.
Just packing my stuff two days ago got me all melancholic and teary.
But like everybody who has been telling me, all good things come to an end. I know, I am just not prepared to leave. Not just yet.
On a more cheery note, Flickr is going to celebrate another 24 hours of Flickr on August 8th. To participate, just take a photo whenever and wherever you are on August 8th and share it in the Flickr 888 group.
Please also note that only one photo will be accepted into the group per member from noon PST Friday, August 8th until Tuesday, September 2nd, noon PST, 2008.
So, what do you think YOU would be doing on August 8th, 2008?
Stay at home and watch the opening of the Olympic games lor :P
The 8th August is my 6th anniversary since the spine surgery in 2002. I remember because the boy I used to have a crush on, his birthday is 6th August and I had to be admitted that day to prepare for surgery.
Arre you coming back to Malaysia?
On the 8th? Watch the whole caboodle on the TV whenever time permits.
I’m completely certain I won’t watch olympics – every day I hear someone was caught using forbidden substances. It’s not sport anymore – it’s a deadly race and sportsmen are losing their health just for a medal.
