Malaysia boleh!

Yes, indeed... I thought Lee Chong Wei would be eliminated in the first round... what a shame...
I was wrong. Lee has entered into the Beijing Olympic 2008 badminton men's singles' final ! I watched as he played against veteran Sony from Indonesia and obviously, Sony wasn't in his best form moreover, with all the high expectation and high hopes from Malaysia put on to Chong Wei before coming to Beijing, he has proved himself as world no.2 once again by defeated Sony. He hasn't defeated Sony in their last two games and out of expectation, he won. I watched that game in Senadin that day. It was incredible as Chong Wei with his razor-sharp smashes, he won 2 games straight away in not more than 40 minutes. In the semi-final, I watched it in the kopitiam with my friends... We cheered for Lee from the beginning until he lost in his 2nd game. All of us thought that it would be over for Chong Wei as our first ever Olympic Gold medalist. But things changed. He proved us wrong as he led 6points in 2nd half of the game and won eventually 21-13. What a match. Lee Chong Wei, not only the last hope of Malaysia in Beijing Olympic but also the one and only hope for grabbing a Gold for Malaysia...

Let's hope that Lee will continue to show his determination on his 'road to the Gold'... lol...

For your information, Lee Chong Wei will play against his rival Lin Dan in the Beijing Olympic 2008 on Sunday night 8.48pm ! Don't forget to cheer for Lee Chong Wei !
Malaysia..... boleh...... meh?.... =.=

all the best...
