It's OK, Mr Lee

Thou you lose, the Nation are still proud of you!!!

Yes you offer no excuse for the poor display but we Malaysians still remember how you put us through on Friday night, that gritting semifinals play that send us Malaysians into euphoria

I was, I was anticipating the GOLD from you & of course to hear our Nation’s anthem to be played is something I guess all Malaysians were hoping for.


All eyes sets on TV to watch Lee Chong Wei in action

But like the papers said, it was just not your day – he, Super DAN was quicker, fitter and faster!

Witnessing across on the TV sets, I think many Malaysians could feel the pressure you were facing and to trail by a high margin – no one would be on the right mental mind to not crack! You were calm but perhaps he was stronger and he pounced on you to make mistakes one after another.

And I liken this quote from a daily today which says : - “He never claimed his invincibility, He was never seeded number one – Lin Dan was top seed. He never promised the GOLD. He gave his best and ended up with a silver, not for want of trying. Simply put, it was not his day.”

Mr Lee with his SILVER medal

In the end, it’s OK, Mr Lee – we sang Negaraku eventho you were 2nd cause you have made us proud & we’re happy you put us in the medal tally count!

3 cheers for you…

080808

Lucky No.8? No of good fortune? The number 8, 8th day of the 8th month in year 2008. That’s three 8s in a row…

Apparently so, 8 which sounds like “FA” – meaning prosper or wealth. Many Chinese around the world normally has it that whatever associated with 8 would be a good thing. Often the case, it’s a DREAM no. associated by the rich or poor (on their mobile phones, password, atm pin, house no & etc).

But then of course, it’s CHINA’s BIG DAY today – ONE World ONE Dream (同一个世界, 同一个梦想), BEIJING 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES.


A significant day, triumph for all CHINESE mankind. The anticipation of CHINESE peoples all around the world (not just CHINA only) on the BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS that will kick off on what I call it – what a day & time – 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm.

Official Mascot @ BEIJING 2008 OLYMPICS

And you asked what’s so great about this 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm after all? And you may asked why do these Chinese fellas always have this superstitious inclination in them that this number will surely bring prosperity, auspiciousness & wealth?

Oh well, auspicious or not, 08.08.08 @ 8.08pm will tell when BEIJING 2008 unleash it’s Olympic SPIRIT & POWER.

Now are you ready or not?
