Wen Jia is 1 year old now

Wen Jia celebrated her 1 year old birthday on yesterday.
We had a birthday party for her, together with our niece, Ee Lyn. (they born on the same day!)
It was indeed a very memorable moment for us and Wen Jia.
I have a few photos uploaded for the event.

Should Chong Wei happy with his achievement?

I probably joined thousands of Malaysian to be one of the badminton fans who weren't so happy with how Chong Wei performed in his final against Lin Dan on the 17th.
It was one of the worst game that i ever seen on TV! Lee CW did not even give a fight. Easily satisfied (or easily gave up), that's all that i can say.
I watched Lin Dan vs Peter Gade days before and i can see Gade's quality play by not giving up points easily. Gade did it very well and I believe Lin Dan was having some tough moment conquering the game.
But what happened to Chong Wei? Was he really clueless seeing how well his opponent has performed? Isn't it part of his homework that he understands and strategizes himself to play against this strong opponent of him? Didn't he realise that it was Olympic that he was playing at? And I doubt that he is going to have 2nd chance ever to win a Olympic medal, I am sure.
As a Malaysian, I have no reason to feel happy with our Malaysian team for bringing back only 1 silver medal back. After so many years of participation and millions of dollars of investment in sports, we would have expected more than that. Indeed.

Malaysia's 1st Olympic Gold Medal?

I am looking forward for tonight's match between Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan, not just because it is our only hope for history-making 1st olympic gold medal, but also purely for my interest in badminton sport.
I was delighted seeing Lee went through semi final match by beating Lee Hyun Il. I watched the repeat and i must say that Chong Wei has performed very well over this strong opponent.
Well, i hope Chong Wei will do the same by beating a far more competent Lin Dan. Lin Dan is in its top form and I reckon that he will fight till the last drop for this gold medal.
Good luck to Lee.
