Silver medal for Chong Wei
I sat there and cried after the second set, we were beaten...Lin Dan was too strong.Then I sat there and watched Lin Dan throw his racket into the crowd.
Then the left shoe.
Then the right.
Aiyoh.
But, in the end, I am very proud of our Malaysian on the court. I cried because I felt that I was with him.
This is really the first time I really cared for something related to sports, but there you go, I'm crying even now. Just that... my tears are now of pride, not loss.
It's been a good game.
I know Chong Wei had to truly work hard to climb from being just another kaku Malaysian boy from his hometown of Perak to become a world class player, as Lin Dan had to climb to the where he is now when he was completely knocked out in the first round in the last Olympic games.
I believe we grow when we meet strong opponents as powerful as this, whether we win or lose.
Now I'm praying for Chong Wei all our Malaysian Olympians to come home safely, if not do a bit of shopping and have a little fun in China, and get stronger for the next Olympics!
If our government can be willing enough to pay our Olympic winners the RM1-point-something Million they couldn't even part with for petrol subsidary, it really must mean local support at all levels are getting stronger, right or not?
I, for one, will definitely continue cheering for our Malaysians.
We're going to win big next time! Malaysia for Malaysians! and of course, JIA YIU CHONG WEI!!! XDDD
