Erm… Actually, I’m 6 months too early for the Beijing Olympic Games. I’m still holding out hope that someone somewhere will find it in their pockets to sponsor a trip for me to Beijing for the Summer Olympics this August. I don’t have to be there for the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Summer Olympics on 8-8-08. I don’t even have to be there for the finals of the 100m sprint event or for the 100m swimming event. Heck! I’ll even take a lawn bowls ticket if it means I can say I was there at the Beijing Olympics. Anyone? 
Anyway, closer to home, the Nomination Day for the 12th General Election was yesterday and I, being a kaypoh, was there right in the thick of the action. I was only there at the nomination centre for the fun of watching the 2 parties shout and wave banners and flags at each other over a few metres of no man’s land. I couldn’t get too close because I was not toting a big ass SLR camera and wearing a vest with many pockets as the reporters were doing. Next time, I know how to dress to impress!
With the naming of the candidates out of the day, the race is officially on. In the next couple of days, expect to see strings of party symbols hung from street lights and trees and soon, faces of your candidate will appear. Look closely for this is about the closest you’ll get to them and the most you’ll see of them for the next 4 years after they are elected. 
And that is about all I have to say about the Elections.

I have to say this isn’t one of my best days bec it took me some time to realise those flags are party flags and not national flags at some opening ceremony. And there I was, trying to work out which nation had that funny red-white stripes on light blue background flag…
No DSLR also your photos not bad what…
I’m waiting for the day the Olympics comes to Sydney again… *wink*
