Malaysia Boleh!!!

you thought this was some weird post about malaysia boleh?
no you're wrong...
malaysia certainly boleh last sunday as our badminton players achieved history!!

BWF Super Series Masters Finals
Likas Sports Complex,
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

this is the first time ever that such an event is being held...
where only the top 8 players in the world are invited to participate...
it offers lucrative prize money and everyone dreams of playing in it...
everyone except weird china players...

don't wanna talk about them...

on sunday...
malaysia had representatives in 3 finals!!
if they could all get it right, what a glorious day it would be for the country!!

and they did exactly what was expected of them...
leading the act was world number one men's singles player Datuk Lee Chong Wei...
he basically demolished Peter Gade of Denmark...
in the 1st set he even led 12-0!!

he was determined to win his first title as top player in the world and he never let his fans down...
way to go datuk!!!


next up was the ever inconsistent pair of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong...
i'm watching their match as i'm writing this now...
clearly they have much more understanding of each other now compared to last time...
at least they don't complain and blame each other for their mistakes...
and TBH has rediscovered his killer smashes!!!
they looked relaxed throughout the match and even smiled when they made mistakes...
this no pressure play is what made them win the title...
and tbh's post match interview was so funny...
as he doesn't really know how to speak English,
all the interview questions were directed at kkk...
but he couldn't avoid answering at least one...
so when asked how did he feel after winning,
he said " i feel very happy because this is our 1st champion this year"...haha...
you must be feeling weird as to what is so funny...
but his way of talking and how he looked so shy when speaking was real funny and kinda cute...
that's why i like him...haha...
anyway,
hope that this win will spark a comeback for them as malaysia's diamond pair...
looking forward to much more greater things from them next year...
don't let us down anymore...




last to go on court was our women's doubles Chin Eei Hui-Wong Pei Tty..
the crowd was already bursting with pride after 2 wins but chin-wong pampered them with another title for malaysia!!!
they fought gallantly against the indonesians and earned themselves USD42,000!!!
a big amount of money added to their many runner-up winnings in the past few months...
no wonder pei tty said that she'll have more money to spend during CNY...haha...
well done!!

in the end,
it was a really proud day for malaysia as we have never been so successful in a tournament before...
bravo to all the winners!!!
hope that 2009 will be an even better year and...

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!
