Mascots of Beijing Olympics 2008--Fuwa

I like to watch sports especially big sports events such as Olympics, World Cup and Commonwealth Games. The reasons I like to watch those sports events are:
1. Those sports events are held every 4 years.
2. I love to see the sport spirit of the athletes.

This year, the biggest sports event--Summer Olympics in Beijing will be held on 8th August. I can't wait anymore! I will sit in front of television from days to night. My favourite sport events are swimming, badminton, and track events. I know each Malaysian athlete will strike for winning medal and from the bottom of my heart, I hope they can win a gold medal. Malaysia won the first-ever Olympic medal, a bronze medal at 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics by the legendary badminton player--Rashid Sidek.

Mascots of Olympics was first promoted at 1968 Winter Oylmpics at France. This year, there are 5 mascots! They are Fuwa and each of them represents one element.

Their names are Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. Their names form the sentence--Beijing huan ying ni which means Beijing Welcomes You. I think their names are cute and meaningful. They are designated by Han Meilin, a well-known Chinese artist.


Beibei : Female, blue, water element, represents prosperity, gentle and pure
Jingjing : Male, black, wood element, represents happiness, honest and optimistic
Huanhuan: Male, red, fire element, represents passion, extrovert and enthusiastic
Yingying : Male, yellow, earth element, represents health, lively and vivacious
Nini : Nini, green, air elements, represents good fortune, innocent and joyous

Remember to watch Beijing Olympics on 8th August! =)

I like photographing!

I like this photo personally. The sky is colourful and the mosque is white. Perfect match =)





Well, I really like photographing although my skills is not good enough. Today 6 o'clock in the morning, I went to UTP(University Technology Petronas) which is about 26km from my home with my mom and my friend.

On the way back, I was fascinated with the beautiful and colourful sky. Therefore, I took some photos. Enjoy these photos =)

Should I write in Chinese or English???

Well, this is the first time I write blog in English. Before this, I was thinking what language should I use to write in this blog, either English or Chinese.

If I write in English, I can improve my writing skills. On the other hand, I was thinking to write in Chinese because I don't want to forget how to write in Chinese when I study in Canada.

I think the best solution is I will write in both Chinese and English depends on my mood. Haha. That means when I feel that I can describe something(especially my feelings) better in Chinese, I will write in Chinese lah. Otherwise, I will write in English. Deal? Hehe.
