Hero

Yesterday, I witnessed the birth of a true hero, a sports hero that will always be the pride of my nation, Malaysia. Ladies and gentlemen, Lee Chong Wei. =)

An ordinary person, who is extraordinary in his own way.

Yesterday was the Olympic badminton final 2012, and my oh my what a game!! I have never watched something like this before!!!!

Everyone was hoping to see a spectacular final showdown and nobody was disappointed. The match practically set our hearts on a roller coaster ride. The marks were so close........

Tough fight, arch rivals on court , friends forever


Chong Wei lost to Lin Dan in a rubber game......

It was such a long journey for him. Chong Wei almost couldn't make it for the Olympics!!! When he was playing against Lin Dan ( again) during the Thomas Cup, he sprained his ankle!!!!
He had to stop training and undergo stem cell treatment, and goodness before he played any game, he had to take painkillers!!!!

Oh yes, we are of course sad that he didn't make it, but imagine our feelings when we saw him crying on television....... My oh my.......

But I am so proud of him!!!!!! He is indeed our hero!!!

He won our hearts, we love you Chong Wei!!!!! =)
