Never mind, Chong Wei

Yesterday I watched the Yonex All England Open Men's Single final.

Sorry to say, I was a bit disappointed. How could Chong Wei lose to Lin Dan again?

Why again China must win? Why again is China the forever-badminton-champion?

My friend sms-ed me right after the match, and she told me her great disappointment. Yea, I was sad too, to see Chong Wei making mistakes one after another, and Lin Dan gained points again and again with quite-an-ease. But both of us agreed that, Chong Wei played lots better than last year's Olympics.

Had you guys watched the semifinal when Chong Wei confronted Taufik Hidayat? That was a real great match. Both of them were very fast in every step but yet, Chong Wei managed to beat Taufik, sending him back home with big regrets.

And on the other side, Chen Jin surrendered to Lin Dan even before the match ended. Why would Chen Jin do that? Well, I doubt that China actually intended to....

You know, Chen Jin may not be able to defeat Chong Wei.

My friend said, although Chong Wei lost the champion, he still made few spectacular saves and smashes. Yeah she's right. And I could hear the crowd of Malaysian audience cheering for Chong Wei even though it was Lin Dan who stepped on the champion stage instead of Chong Wei.

And the funniest thing was, I heard someone shouting from the audience seats when the second match reached 20-12. The person yelled so loudy that I could hear every word he/she say,
"Lee Chong Wei, 我爱你!!!! (wo ai ni!!!!) "
[Lee Chong Wei, I love you!!!!]

Oh my god, was it a girl who screamed that out? Ah moi ah moi, Chong Wei has girlfriend already la. Haha =P

Anyway, the All England still ended up to be an all China affair. China is too strong, we all will have to admit this.

But yeah, never mind Chong Wei. You still have other champions waiting for you. You're still the world's no.1, you are always the best in every Malaysian's heart. Because, you indeed make all of us proud.

Gambathe in your future Chong Wei!!!!

LOVE

Hey guys, I'm here again. Yea, FINALLY I'm back again.

How long has it been since I last blogged? Well, it's over one month. In this month many things have happened, and still are happening. For examples, family problem, friends' problems, my own problems of being indecisive, and the conflicts inside myself. It's like a routine, a never-ending routine, comes round and round, and is not able to meet an end.

All these while I'm inspired by many things, no matter they happened on me or other people, they indeed gave me a lot of feelings, mixed ones. And they too urged me to write all of them down in a diary, perhaps publish them in this blog as well.

But always, time is a factor, and environment is a factor.

Can you imagine? Alright, come to think of it. When your mum finds out your blog, and later then she keeps peeking at your blog occasionally when she feels like, and she will never forget your blog address - for she has already bookmarked it as the favourite; what would you feel? And most importantly, what would you write for your blog - your feelings, your thoughts, and your everything?

So now I'm in this situation. When I start to write any post, I will have to think twice, and even thrice and many times, just in case I write something incorrect without knowing and the words about this 'wrong thing' will get into my mum's eyes, and there it will happen - sort of what you can think of when you accidentally step on a tiger's tail.

And yes, I've been brave enough to write these paragraphs here. Maybe my mum will just happen to see this, or maybe not. I'm taking the risk. But still, I need to vent out.

I'd been sick for about 2 weeks. In these 2 weeks I finally am able to figure out who care about me most and who do not. Some would say, 'hey go away. You're spreading the viruses'. I smiled but I so wanted to reply, 'it's bacteria.'

But some wouldn't say anything. They just remained silent but intermittently, they broke the silence and asked, 'are you still okay? Have you seen any doctor yet?' My uncle even worked in actions. He straight away took out a bottle of chinese medicine pills and gave it to me for free. '3 times per day, and 5 pills each time.' That was only what he said.

Although these may seem trivial, I feel warmth and love from them. A small concern, and a few sentences of care can just always keep me touched.

You don't have to hug me, you don't have to hold my hands. You just need to stand besides me, keep me accompanied and let everything be quiet. We're not talking but we understand each other. That's what the ultimate relationship means.

Now, excerpting a sentence from the book series of Chicken Soup for Souls -
"To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds your life."

So, is your life fired?
