Although the 2008 Beijing Olympic has concluded, the joy and sorrow of the Olympians that took part still lingers on in my memory. We have witnessed amazing record breaking feats! The fantastic opening & close ceremony carried out by the host country, China were just superb! It will be difficult to match in the other games to come. I wish I was there in Beijing! Don't you? Have some wallpapers to remember this great olympic event! Enjoy!

There's no better place than up in the sky to take in a panoramic view of Beijing's grand Olympic architecture. The Bird's Nest National Stadium, with a capacity of 80,000, is the Games' iconic centerpiece. It will hold the opening and closing ceremonies as well as athletics events. Completed at the beginning
of this year, the 6000-seat Water Cube National Aquatics Center
will host swimming, diving and synchronized swimming. The Beijing tourism authority's release of aerial footage of Olympic venues is not only a move to attract more tourists, but also to prove the city is ready for the Summer Games. Construction is completed at the 16 new, eight temporary and 13 pre-existing venues that will host sporting events during the three week Olympic Games.Beijing itself has 31 venues,
with a few events being held in six co-host cities across China.
Did my shopping at Tesco(Tasek Road) last Sunday. As usual,I prefer to park my car at the open air carpark. I was surprised that the few parking lots allocated for HANDICAPPED PERSON was full. These few lots are located near to the entrance for the convenience of this less fortunate people. Without thinking further on it, I proceed along to do my shopping for my basic weekly needs. Bought some instant mee, spaghetti/broccoli, organic vegetables, apples, etc. Then went over to the Cosway counter to buy a few more stuffs. While loading the things bought into my car, I noticed that those few cars parked at the HANDICAP CARPARK LOTS are not driven by handicapped person at all! What the hell ???? That's the first impression that appears in my mind! Those people are all healthy and fit as a fiddle! What's happening here? Don't they have any self conscious to the needs of others? Real selfish buggers! There are so many parking lots available out there. Of course the lots are located slightly further away from the building entrance but the distance will not pose any problem to any healthy legs to walk. What a shame! Imagine if a handicapped person were to come to Tesco, where the hell is this person going to park the car as the special carpark lots allocated were taken up by those selfish car owners? God give us each a pair of healthy legs and yet we do not want to utilise them! The management of this hypermart should monitor this. I suggest that they should make announcement via the P.A. system asking the selfish car owners to move their cars away from those special lots and towed them away after 20 minutes by tow trucks if nobody turns up! CCTVs must be installed at carparks area to do this successfully. This is to ensure that this designated lots are used by the special people and not abused by others. The other disgusting thing that I noticed was the shopping trolleys carts that we used for our shopping. Trolley cart ports are setup at various parts of the parking lots for everyone to place back the trolleys once done. At last, there still many of the shoppers that will just leave the trolleys at the middle of the road or at his adjacent vacant parking lot. So convenient, huh? Just packed up after shopping and leave! Why can't we just push the trolleys back to the designated places? It will only take a little effort and time. We do that when we are shopping abroad. Why not here? Anyone care to explain this 2 disgusting behaviour of Malaysians shoppers??
