Beijing Olympics 2008 Opening

I was trying to find the full video of the Beijing Olympics opening in YouTube, can't seem to find it, only bits and pieces, or slide shows of the pics. So I suppose these pics will have to do for now.....

What an opening, the fireworks were awesome. I liked the first act, counting down with the electronic drums (above), it was really grand and impressive.
There were however accusations that some of the grand acts shown on telly were fake, especially the fireworks. Not sure how true this is, but I sure hope it isn't. The act with the little girl singing (above), we could easily tell she lip-synching, but apparently they said the original voice came from another little girl who was not allowed to go up and sing because she did not possess a 'cute enough' face. Just not sure how true are all these allegations, are they merely allegations from sour grape parties?





One thing's for sure, manpower is what China has, and manpower is what China used to the fullest to stun the world with their massive usage of human on their opening acts. Even the stage was hovered by human.This was another one of my favourites too, the gigantic globe, with human running all over it. And of course Sarah Brightman sang beautifully on the top of it, for her duet with China's Liu Huan. But one thing puzzled me, with Sarah dressed up glamourously in her gown, can't Liu Huan at least dress more decently rather than a horrid looking T-Shirt? Call it simplicity, but I call it not respecting the occasion (eyes rolled up)....

Well done, China...well done...

Silver Is Quite Alright, Chong Wei!!

I am absolutely not a sports-goer, let alone badminton, but I watched the finals in Beijing Olympics last night between our very own Lee Chong Wei and world number Lin Dan from China. Hopes were definitely high for our own Malaysian to win this only Gold for the country. Perhaps that's the very same thing dat dragged Chong Wei's mental strength down, and drove him to let Lin Dan smack him off straight two sets. Imagine the pressure of being the 1st to bring a gold medal home from the Olympics, for the very first time in the history of Malaysia, the feeling must be unbearable. I totally understand how stressful that must be for him. Not to mention the crowd was soaring for Lin Dan in nearly every shot.
What made most Malaysians disappointed was, perhaps they expected it to be a better fight, at least. In the 2nd set we can see Chong Wei totally worn out, pretty much without hope already. But hey, we got a Silver medal guys, for Malaysia. Whoelse can do that for Malaysia this Olympics? Let's cut him some slack, shall we....

Chong Wei - Lesson learned, we need to build ourselves with better mental strength and able ourselves to fight under the hardest pressure in the future.

When Hunky Stars Show More - Christopher Gorham

When Henry came into the picture in the story of Ugly Betty on TV, most would look at him and went 'OK' and then pay little attention to the nerdy character. Christopher Gorham who acts Henry's role is a 34 year-old American actor that has taken on quite a few roles on TV series, including Odyssey 5, Jake 2.0 and Medical Investigation. Ladies and gentleman, I give you...the studliest nerd....

Although Christopher does quite a good job with his character Henry, he's actually quite a stud himself. These pics explain what I mean...

How long can they hide this body behind the nerdy clothes and specs on Ugly Betty, not very long indeed. We soon see episodes where they 'conveniently' display Henry in topless scenes. And true enough, this stud can't stay too long being the nerd, Christopher has actually left the Ugly Betty cast, continuing his career to take on a more significant role in CBS' midseason drama "Harper's Island." The serialized horror story revolves around a group of friends who meet on an island off the Seattle coast for a destination wedding. Gorham will play the groom-to-be, also called Henry.

Darius Sinathrya - Indonesian Eye Candy

Not sure whether I pronounce his name right, but Darius Sinathrya is quite an eye candy. I came across this 23 year old Indonesian actor when I watched the movie LOVE ( a remake of our Malaysian movie CINTA). CINTA is my favourite local movie so far, and having a beautiful cast in the remake LOVE definitely great to watch altogether. I have always loved Indonesian actor FAUZI BAADILA, so LOVE was a must-watch for me, with him in it. Not only was it a good movie but the set of casts were pretty eye candy, with Fauzi and Darious of course, Irwansyah (not really my type but he's still considered a stud in Indonesia), and also not forgettting the gorgeous ladies like Acha Septriasa, Laudya Chintya Bella & Luna Maya.

Hunky Darius is already married with a child despite at only 23. LOVE is his 5th movie, previously acted in D'Bijis, Naga Bonar, Pocong 3 and Akhir Cinta. Here's a music video by Ungu (Cinta Dlama Hati) that features Darius:

By the way, in case you may wonder why I melt to my knees for Fauzi Baadila, take a look at this music video by Padi titled Menanti Sebuah Jawaban, and see for yourself....

Obviously, we'll need a separate post of my dear Fauzi >wink<

Doogie Babe - Taken...

Remember him guys.... ? Not too bad, from Doogie Howser to this...

Our once-nerdy Doogie Howser has recently opened up about making his relationship official with his long time lover David Burtka. They have been together since 2004. When their relationship became public knowledge in Nov 2006, Neil Patrick Harris came out in People. He was quoted saying "The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships. So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
