So Near Yet So Far....
Malaysia lost to China by 2-3. We are just this close to make it another final after so many years. When Lee Chong Wei beat Lin Dan in a very convincing way (21-12, 21-14), I really thought that Malaysia could pull an upset over China and prove everybody wrong (a lot of coaches from other country bet their money on China). Even the annoying Li Yong Bo also praised Lee Chong Wei for his good performances. However the dreams of Malaysia entering another finals was dashed when Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong crashed out to Cai Yun and Fu Hai Feng and Wong Choong Hann to Bao Chun Lai. Mohd. Tazari and Mohd Zakry lifted up Malaysia's hope of entering another finals by beating the Chinese pairs but hopes gone down the drain when Mohd Hafiz lost to Chen Jin. Overall, Malaysia did well as a team. Pointless crying over spilt milk now. Let's focus on the path to Olympic and the next Thomas and Uber Cup. Hopefully the Malaysian teams will work harder to deliver good results to the country. Malaysia 'yao jia you'!!!!

I watched almost the entire thing! It was nail-biting, man. I wanted to smack Hafiz so bad for being so dispirited in the end.
Still yapping about badminton, the Singapore Open was live two weeks ago since it's, well, in Singapore hahaha. I saw Lee Chong Wei against Peter Gade -- I actually wanted Peter Gade to win when CW started to be a little arrogant hahaha. But then again I've always been a fan of Peter Gade! :P
See you during Christmas!
Haha.... It's nice that you get to watch the whole thing! Aussies are really not a fan of badminton. They are only interested in their football and cricket. =P Peter Gade is a nice and humble player as well as Kenneth Jonassen. But I prefer Peter Gade than him. Hehe....See you online and in person during Christmas!
