are you serious?

Elvis is in Beijing today for the Adidas Beijing Olympics 2008 launch ceremony. He told me that they had booked a 城门 "chen men" (literally translated to 'city gate') for it, and it looked very grand. His speech was also shown on the projector, and he looked "silly". Haha!

Yes, this is what he has been up to - all the trips he has been making to Beijing, London and New York for the past months - for his work for Adidas/Olympics 2008. Now, he finally has time to prepare for his other baby...our baby. ;)

I didnt manage to google the launch, but here's a very funny video that came up in the search! Haha! Watch it! ;p



Also, there's all these jokes about the Beijing Olympics logo, but i just realised here's the correct version:
"The official logo of the games, titled "Dancing Beijing," features a stylized calligraphic character jīng (, meaning capital), referencing the host city."

I've never been interested in "China-China", but having lived in Shanghai for some months did change part of my thinking (of the country/place & people). Maybe i should find a chance and go to Beijing too to see the magnificent Forbidden City.

My nephews went to Beijing for holiday in May, and they were so crazy about the 5 mascots "Fuwa" for the Beijing Olympics. I think they are so cute too - esp JingJing (the one in black). Xan is hoping to go Beijing again for the Olympics in 2008 even though he cant speak Mandarin. He is VERY anti-Chinese. When he says "māo" 猫/cat, it'll come out as "máo" 毛/hair. Keke... Hmm...maybe there's something there... So i should really go too!
