Lee Chong Wei finally beat China’s Lin Dan at the Swiss Open and on straight set some more. Cool. I know. This is a very late story. Should had come out last night at 10:30pm. Haha. Yeah, that’s the time I finished taking all these pictures. Better late than never kan [After all, another good news for me, a big fan of Malaysian Badminton Team] … don’t tell me you Malaysian people fan of other country!

I watched the match live at home and I at first could not believe Chong Wei can beat Lin Dan this time at Swiss Open, thanks to his old record with this China’s guy. However, mid way and seeing Chong Wei played, I knew it if he continued playing long rally and slowing down Lin Dan, he could win this tournament.

Sure enough, Chong Wei played Lin Dan till he made lotsa mistakes. Datuk Lee Chong Wei, You the Man!

I found this “shuttlecock” funny … hahahahahahahaha!

Yes, Lin Dan from China won with the score of 21 – 12 and 21 – 8 in the Men’s Singles Badminton Final. Nothing more to say, Lin Dan is just too fast and too powerful. He can read every move Lee Chong Wei made. It is just not the Malaysian day.

To Lin Dan, congrats. To Lee Chong Wei and Malaysia, silver is good enough. Sad day to the whole Malaysian people but it is fated Lin Dan is still the man to beat. He is after all the World Number One and he is the Olympic Champion. Salute to Lin Dan.

I’m speechless. What more to say? Badminton is not the main topic after this. Might as well talk about the strollers, right? As in my dialect said, “Kivaa poh guno montok dogo!”

Guys, are you ready? At 8.45pm local time, GMT +8hrs, our Malaysian Lee Chong Wei, rank number two in the world, carrying heavy burden on his shoulder to get the elusive first Gold in the Badminton event at Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, China. The only guy that may able to stop him, is the world number one, Lin Dan from China. Lets hope Lee Chong Wei he can fulfill his dream and the nation tonight.

Lee Chong Wei is already the Final and this is only time after so long, we can actually smell the Gold Medal is within reach. Lee Chong Wei is at the top of his performance. Is now or never!

Don’t forget Channel 821 Astro. Tonight is the night we will making history. SESB, don’t play with us okay! Hahaha.
