The Olympics FUWAs, it is a blessing or curse?

Some thoughts ran in my head when I saw this article about the FUWAs from the daily Sin Ming newspaper. I cut it and scanned this into my blog.

Well, these FUWAs are regarded as auspicious symbols for Beijing Olympics 2008.
However due to the natural disasters that had happened in China, some blamed to these FUWAs to be a curse.

These comments about the FUWAs brought back my memory of some haunted stories told by my ex-colleagues a bout 8-10 years ago. Remember Teletubbies?
There were myths of spirits residing in these dolls and caused kids to behave unusually.

So, shall I still collect these FUWAs toy from McDonalds Happy Meal?
I've already got 3 toys, but I didn't make it to a complete set of collection before the promotion over.

Nevertheless, I believe Beijing will overcome all difficulties, and wish Beijing Olympics Success!

Beijing Olympics FUWA Mascots at People's Park, Chinatown, Singapore

Some months back I went People's Park, near Chinatown for lunch. I saw these 5 funny mascots roaming around. They are the FUWA for the coming Beijing Olympics. I guess the travel agency was doing some promotion. These mascots were very cute and friendly, when they saw me taking out my camera, they formed a row and posed in front for me.

I used to feel no excitement about Olympics as I don't really like sports. "Olympics? what's it to do with me?".

Perhaps because the coming Olympics is held in Beijing, China this round, a place where there are Chinese. Through the radio and news, I hear of efforts and measures China did to overcome difficulties to embrace this Olympics Games 2008. Rules were implemented to reduce air pollution. Eating "dog meat" is banned. I feel these gestures show a form of respect to the many cultures of the guests who will be arriving to Beijing. This round I feel I could better appreciate Olympics , its pride, its significance, bringing harmony and Unity of World Peace.

Nevertheless, nothing much "excitements" happening in Singapore for coming Beijing Olympics, Only commercials from radios, TV, & posters from travel agencies. At least these 5 roaming mascots at People's Park "injected" some gist for the coming Olympics into the atmosphere in Singapore.
