how could i not blog on this auspicious date? =p

my dad just came back from china a few hours ago. he bought a huge-ass disney alarm clock for my bro and a olympic mascot handphone tag for me (cherie who? what elder sister?? =p).

chump's new alarm clock is soo cool! its an original disney item, not one of the ciplak ones, so it looks really good! mickey stands in the middle of the face of the clock and the hour and minute hands are mickey's white gloved hands! and my favourite part of the clock is the top where it has the classic bell halves on top and in between them is the hammer-like thing that hits the bells to make them ring :D

the only downside is that chump is sleeping in my room tonight and he has to wake up early at about 8 to go to his violin lessons. which means that i will be awakened by his spanking new alarm clock at the crack of dawn (any time before 10am ia the crack of dawn ok! what do u know) T.T

remember the last handphone tag my daddy got me? it was a rather big, furry pink pig face -_-"
(quite embarrassing actually, but what to do, my daddy so nice and thoughtful to buy it for me ofcoz i have to pretend to be thrilled right?) i took it off about a month or so ago because it was getting dirtier and dirtier. and now he has gotten me a new handphone tag!

but this time, i genuinely like this one! its made of metal and depicts the head of the red olympic mascot. then connected by a fine chain at the bottom, is a single red ruby :D
(ofcoz not a REAL ruby la! u think money drop from the sky ar?!)

owh ya, i nearly forgot! i wanted to rave about how amazing i found the beginning part of the opening ceremony of the olympic games!

i especially loved the part where they did acrobatics over parchment paper, but they were really painting it with the movement of their bodies! omg, so0 so0 cool!!!
i was so amazed! :D

and the part where they lifted the glowing olympic rings was pretty neat too!

and and the synchronization of movement for the moving boxes (nehhh the ones which suddenly sprouted blossoms at the end) and dances was army-like in its precision! no, the army probably isnt even that organized! (nothing to get u more synchronized than the thought of the whole world watching!)

and i wanna say how weird i felt at seeing someone i met before becoming a host on tv, but i'll save that for another day coz today is an auspicious day and i shall only speak of happy stuff :D

toodleloo!
