Unbelievable.

A single digit loss in straight sets.

Lee Chong Wei was completely outclassed in this final possible chance to claim what he was potentially worthy of. Just when I was so gung-ho and made it a point to watch the whole match through -__-

What happened to the Chong Wei who won Lin Dan in straight sets during the Thomas Cup semi finals just awhile ago?

 

He was definitely not there this time..but what to do. No point crying over spilt milk.

Lin Dan lived up to his reputation, probably thanks to a deafening home crowd that went ‘Lin Dan jia you!’ compared to a ‘Malaysia Boleh!’ that wasn’t half there. Perhaps CW Lee could have performed better if not for the roaring crowd, like how Psychkin wishes. (He he).

I guess it’s ultimately not possible to say that these guys are trained to work under pressure bah. What more this being the first time where our boy got to the finals. Gotta give it up to C W Lee though, coz he had this brave face on all throughout the battering.

Sayy…

Isn’t Chong Wei’s girl Mew Choo with him in Beijing now? Any idea on how she could have ‘affected’ his performance, given that they are both pretty fit and er…healthy athletes, part of (I quote) 10,500 adrenaline pumped athletes who is in great physical shape, all of whom are prime physical specimens of the human species with a lot time once knocked out of the games. So what do they do? Go figure! Certainly not darts!

Does create a possibility of hanky-panky involved riiiiight…lol.

Related to this topic are some cute condom pics I found at Daryl Teo’s blog the other day.

It’s always most interesting to see how people glue their eyes to the TV during the Olympics.

 

 

 

Especially when this time around, the Malaysia team gets really really close to clinching glory. In badminton lah, what else?

Yes laaah, I’ll lessen the skeptism in my tone. Keke.

Cos this time, Lee Chong Wei has pushed really far and hard.

 

Malaysia wins Korea 21-18, 13-21, 21-13

Winning the semis is no laughing matter. That’s at least a Silver waiting for us yo!

And, there’s that Dato’ship waiting for him when he comes back yo! Nicely wrapped up in a box yo!

I was at Nanking Coffeeshop in Taipan about 1/2 hour ago just when the final set was bein played. Everytime our boy gets a point the crowd would cheer! And at every point lost, the crowd would go ‘awwwwuuuu’…

There was this particular stall owner uncle I noticed watching the game. Whatever he was selling…he sure has the spirit burning in him. Notice that he claps till the very last second. (It’s a short clip..just click play!) Note : Clapping uncle’s on the extreme right.

 

 

How often do we get a response like this? What more during Olympics! Malaysia boleh! We need more sportsmen like C W Lee!

  

 

Dato’ship, anyone?

 

Cheers!
