I read somewhere Singapore wants to participate in future Winter Olympics. Looks like they may need to start recruiting foreign talent in winter sports now.

The opening ceremony was interesting. Loved the snowboarder in the opening sequence.

It's really too sad that the Georgian luger had his life taken from him that way. RIP.

yeah, i enjoyed the opening although some felt it was boring. i tot they did a great job showcasing the history and the respect for the first nation. loved K.D Lang's rendition of Hallelujah. just awesome.

yeah, too bad. RIP.

heh heh....we have 2 golds le. but Patrick Chan didn't do too well at his short program last nite. :(

well, that girl who sang the theme "I Believe"? she did the O Canada. i didn't like it either. check out ctv site. u can view videos. the pairs skates were awesome. the Chinese won 1, 2. great job! ;-)

here's the audio of K.D. Lang's rendition at the opening available on itunes:

video not allowed (yet). heh heh

udontknowme SG

no leh. the ctv videos are not loading for me >=( keeps telling me there's an error.

when I have time this weekend Im going to search youtube. Im so upset I missed the opening. I wanted to see what they did with the aboriginals.

littlestream SG

oh, it's not loading for you? hmm...strange. when i missed the pairs skate, i watched it at ctv site leh. FOUR FULL HOURS but i fastforward....kekekeke........

the 4 nation chiefs got to sit at the VIP box. and then it started with the natives welcoming the foreigners.....just like history. as the land separates and become individual countries, we see the emergence of the pacific ocean. the whales were awesome. i will continue to check youtube for you too. if i find the link(s), i will post it for you. anyways, i tot it was a great opening. it's more a cultural thing than being flashy. ;-) when the anthem was played, goose pimples justed popping up. and when the Canadian contingent marched in? oh, what pride!!!! when the Georgian team marched in, they had a standing O as a show of support and encouragement (the death of their luger). we also had a moment of silence.

jetta SG

Did you catch figure skating? I get so mesmerized by their talent and skill. I've been staying up till midnight daily just to make sure I don't miss anything.

littlestream SG

jetta SG

Yah, we watched the halfpipe. Tense! Our tv is tuned into the Olympics almost 24/7. My DVR is working overtime, recording all my regular shows. Good thing we switched to AT&T Uverse. It lets us dvr 4 programmes at once, unlike with Cox which we had. Cox only allowed two per time slot. Heng ah!

skid SG

of course we are, did you expect anything less?

udontknowme SG

3 golds is not enough lehh!! >=( actually, the numbers dont matter. we just have to beat U-know-which-country...! =p haha
