Olympics Habis Liao...

Yesterday was a significant day...the last day of Olympics and the last service of our church at our present premise. We'll be moving on come next Sunday. I think many of us were filled with a certain nostalgia... The church has been worshipping here since the 60s.

We hung around a while after that... then it was time to move on to dinner. Because of the move, we'll soon probably will find it difficult to get together for dinner after service as it will start later and also end later.So since today also happens to be the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic, we decided to have a makan together at Ah Ho's place. It's pot bless this time. The spread... By the time the food was laid on the table, Lil Rainbow was already seated, ready with her fork and spoon. She must have been famished.For Lil Rainbow this home was also a place she went almost every day for nearly 4 years except during hols. It's a place with many fond memories and familiar toys for her. I think she still enjoys coming here.After dinner, we sat around and watched the Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. I'd rate it as rather boring actually. Probably because we can't really identify with what was going on and also a lack of familiarity with those on the screen. Nor could we make sense of the symbolism; if at all there were any. But we found this interesting though... This is the guy who played the electric guitar which accompanied the British side. GB will be hosting the next edition of Olympics. Does he look like someone we know? There were some of us who thought he looked like Pak Lah. LOL! Can you imagine Pak Lah as some rock star?
