heart attack!

gosh.. sitting down, staring at the 29'' black box ahead of me, i flicked thru the channels until i got to the updates on badminton thomas cup.. it was the semi-finals.. china vs malaysia, indonesia vs korea.. so i sat down on the sofa for four hours, watching china vs malaysia..

match 1 (lin dan vs lee chong wei) : the battle of the titans.. lee chong wei started off really well.. playing consistently and he was really good.. lin dan wasn't in his top form.. in the end, chong wei beat lin dan, giving a great start for malaysia..

match 2 (cai yun-fu haifeng vs koo kien keat-tan boon heong) : gosh, this match was quite a disappointment.. (i'm still puzzled, wasn't choong tan fook-lee wan wah suppose to play first doubles?) first set, koo kien keat did SOOO many unforced errors.. i lost count at 8.. 2nd set, koo kien keat was playing so much better, but in the end, they lost to china.. tan boon heong did not rise to the occasion but, nevertheless, i still like him..haha..
but the thing is, why are the tabloids blaming their lost on tan boon heong when koo kien keat was da one who made all the mistakes?!?

match 3 (bao chun lai vs wong choong hann) : goodness! another disappointment.. from looking at his facial expression, i knew he already gave up mentally.. he also didn't give it his best.. need i say more? he lost la..

match 4 (Xie Zhongbo-Guo Zhengdong vs Mohd Fairuzizuan-Mohd Zakry) : ok, this was an eye opener.. well, actually, i didn't watch this match since the start.. cuz i thought m'sia was gonna lose and i didn't want to be there to see it.. but i watched during the 2nd set, realising that they were playing really well.. and they WON! haha, so now, it's a tie, 2-2.. which leads us to..

match 5 (chen jin vs hafiz hashim) : sigh, 1st of all, 4th seed vs 22nd, would there be a chance.. but anyway, m'sia was still rooting for him to make history.. he WAS starting off really well.. hafiz was constantly leading by 1 or 2 points.. but at a point, when chen jin was leading him 13-11, i have no idea wat got into him.. he continuously made unforced error until chen jin led him 20-11.. 2nd set, same thing, he led initially, then at when chen jin led at 15-(sumthin), i walked to tuition d, didn't want to see the ending..

sigh, so in the end, m'sia lost 2-3.. overall, they put up a really good fight, but individually, ... they could have done better..

but the worst thing is.. INDONESIA LOST TO KOREA!!! darn it!!! eesh, why didn't anyone beat the s.koreans.. eesh.. the koreans ruin the spirit of sport by their stupid, lousy tactics.. i'm rooting for china.. i hope china teach the koreans a lesson for wat they did.. GO CHINA!!!
