Veterans Out, Europe Power

I'm talking about the Badminton World Championship. Though I haven't played badminton since last May, I still am passionate about the game alright. We all know, Lee Chong Wei is up against the lanky Hafiz Hashim. Let's just hope the best man win (though I hope LCW win, I'll go back on this some time this month).

Anyway, I just checked the Badminton World Federations (BWF) official website and read the latest news on the tournament. Malaysian veterans, Tan Fook/Wan Wah were defeated by the Germans!
Germans!?
In badminton!?
Shocking, man!

Not only that, the former world no.1 Tony Gunawan-Howard Bach also were ousted by another European country, England in a straight set some more! WTH! The end of era I guess. But looking how things are at the moment, badminton might no longer be dominated by Malaysia and China only.

The Americans (left) and the Malaysians (right). Both pairs used to dominate the major tournaments.

Take the recent YOG badminton games. Both single events were won by the young players of Thailand. Malaysian shuttler, Loh was defeated by the young Thai en route winning the gold medal. Not only Thailand, but India seems to be on roll as well.

With Malaysia lacking young, potential badminton players I am worried that in future, we will be known as the country who used to be the best only. Can't rely too much on BAM. Gotta start yourself if you want to produce promising badminton talents. Don't discourage your kids, little siblings to play if they are interested. Worth a try to give a shot don't you think so?

I guess playing badminton with my lil' bro at the moment is a good start. =P

hehehehe

Kembali

Sepanjang tahun 2018 langsung takde satu post. Wow! That's a new record set by yours truly. Banyak benda boleh berlaku dalam masa satu tahun. Dan banyak benda juga yang dah berlaku dalam jangka masa tu. Summary nye, perubahan kerjaya , tahun melawat Indonesia , dan new bundle of joy  (<----Ini emoji smiley, aku buat post ni pakai Blogger app) Kenapa kali ni tergerak nak blog balik? Sebenarnya, dari tahun 2017 tu aku nak meneruskan kelangsungan hidup blog ni..cuma, banyak alasan aku bagi dan jadilah apa yang dah terjadi sekarang blog yang dah lebih setahun tak di-update. Bersawang, dah jadi sarang angkut-angkut dah. Inilah sarang angkut-angkut. Blog kali ni more to syok sendiri mungkin, sebab aku rasa aku dah takde pembaca yang mengikuti perkembangan blog ni. Silap-silap, blog aku dah kena removed daripada list pembaca-pembaca lama aku. Mungkin kalau takde pressure untuk blog, aku akan lebih rajin ke sini. Siapa tahu?

Want Some Hotdog?

WAHAHAHA!! I laughed when I first see this picture! I don't know whether to laugh at the spelling, or the prices set at that stall. Well, that's pretty mean of me. But it is a good laugh alright. The girlfriend sent me this picture. Before that she asked me, what's the spelling of hotdog in Malay. I said, not that I know of, just write 'hotdog'. Then she sent me the picture. The caption for this picture : "Don't know whose fault, the Malay teacher or the Math teacher?" Maybe it's just another marketing strategy. You know, when people ask, where did you get this? From hokdok stall over there. Brilliant plan on promoting it but fail miserably with the price. How to get profit like this LOL From the way it has been converted to Malay, I reckon the picture at the top was taken in Terengganu. You see, hot=hok. In Terengganu words that end with 't' always sound like 'k'. Example, sesat (lost) = sesak, pekat (thick) = pekak. But pekak (dea...

Koleksi Baju Raya =P

Few days ago, went to Kemaman to get new baju melayu for Hari Raya. hahaha..when it comes to this, I will just accept any baju as long as wearing it doesn't make me the centre of attention on that day. So, what do I have in my collection so far? =P Macam pengantin gitu. =P I don't remember this one. Hmmm My first Raya Aidilfitri away from home, 2007. In Melbourne with my friends from Melbourne Uni. How are you guys? Last year's culture night. Hehehehe. Ore to ore no imoto, Pam. But this purple baju melayu is not mine. My man Azman lent it to me. Thanks heaps man. =) But I guess I kinda like the pengantin one, though it did make me a bit 'famous' due to its glittering when exposed to light. I guess, I was once an Edward Cullen wahahahah! Ok, that's not funny. My bad. *ehem* ehem* The only complete family picture. With my Silat Cekak Hanafi gang at the end of 2006. What's up guys? =) So, this time around went to Kemaman, to this one shop at the basement level ...
