29th Beijing Olympic Games on 8th August 2008, 8.08pm

8th August 2008, A day that will stayed in the memory of many Chinese for a long, long time... Just as I remembered the 1973 Seap Games hosted by Singapore when I was a student.

In celebration of this auspicious day when even wedding couples and new borns registered this day as their entry into new life. I shared with you some pictures all things Chinese, as it meant that the Olympic games also chosen to start at 8.08pm on 8.8.08.

The Beijing Olympic stadium needs no introduction as it is much publicised as a Nest; (Just like Singapore Esplanade coined as Durian... I think it deserved a better name though). I shared with you the picture on the right here which give you a perspective of how the walkway under those Nest beam are like.

Instead of building a Pagoda themed stadium, the Chinese had built up this Olympic Park with contemporary pieces of
architectures... But they still rely on traditional costume and cultural items when performance and art are concerned BECAUSE it is the Chinese identity of with historical thread. You can recognised straight away it is Chinese dancers in their act on the left picture.

I checked out these 3 pieces of Chinese drawing/paintings while looking for articles for National Day. These are not printed copies of painting. It is a water color art piece, and it is done with a modernistic color scheme in mind, but the artist wants the essenceto capture Chinese women going about in their daily chores and recreation mode. So, one gets to see the on going revolution within the Chinese to catch up with time and yet displaying her
Chinese roots whenever and where ever possible. These 3 drawings are and should be displayed
together as a set. Why? It will give a definition to a statement of what Chinese woman is instead

of a single frame which you will not know what the artist is trying to communicate.

The prices of Chinese paintings had also inflated in value as people now recognise and appreciate the aspirations and styles of presentation done the Chinese way :- Chinese identity done in a touch of modernistic twist and paint medium.


These 3 pictures costs me S$225.00; Will anyone appreciate these enough to offer me a price that I transfer ownership. Try me but I am going to love these more after the impressive opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games hosted by this great civilisation!
