  • I am truly disappointed with Lee Chong Wei’s quarter finals lost to Sony Dwi Kuncoro in the World Championship 2090 in Hyderabad.

    Please don’t get me wrong as i support him all the way but until his showing in Hyderabad, i think i am convinced that he will never be a great player like Lin Dan.

    Yes, Chong Wei is a world class standard player but by not winning big tournaments like the All England, World Championship or even the Olympics, Chong Wei can’t be classified as a great player.

    I just couldn’t understand what went wrong with him during that match. He wasn’t himself. Too anxious to finish off rallies and wasn’t playing his own game. I guess he gave himself too much pressure until he freak himself out.

    We can’t take anything away from Sony, he played well but Chong Wei just wasn’t up to the mark when it mattered most.

    Just look at Peter Gade, yes he lost to Lin Dan in the quarter finals but the manner he lost to Lin Dan, we should respect it. Gade fought hard all the way punching the air after winning every point but Lin Dan was just too good that day.

    Meanwhile our Datuk Lee Chong Wei took things far too cool. Just look at all players, they celebrate every point with a fist pump while Chong Wei was just playing like it was another tournament. Come on man, World Championship lah…

    Who doesn’t get nervous in a tournament? I myself understand the situation although i am not a national athlete but playing in front of a crowd can be very disturbing if you are not used to. So by shouting your lungs out at every points will give you super confidence and overcome your fears in a match.

    Even Misbun agrees that Chong Wei was cold when he came out of courts. This shows that he was very very nervous. A few fist pumps would do him good.

    It’s not that we don’t support Chong Wei but he is running out of time. How many chances does he need? He has everything his way. Training in Korea and even a personal suite in Hyderabad! I am sadly convinced now that Chong Wei will never challenge Lin Dan in the world stage unless he proves me wrong.

    Winning Super Series title is not what we want. We want those big ones. Yeah, we badminton supporters are hell damm demanding but don’t let us down in that manner. Show us some fighting spirit. Loose with pride and dignity and not by just giving up like that.

    So Chong Wei, proof all of us wrong if not, sad to say you are not not a great player and never will be.

    For those hardcore Chong Wei fans, i am sorry if i have insulted your favorite player but a fact is a fact. I am also a Lee Chong Wei supporter. Sad but that’s the truth.

    As most of you know that my computer hard disk is running out of space. I have to resort to buying an external hard disk. I was suppose to go to the nearest computer shop to get myself a My Book Western Digital hard disk.

    It will arrive tomorrow thanks to my buddy Irwan. He will be selling me the My Book one terabyte at RM 350. Thanks brother.

    In the meantime, my friend lend me his 160 gb external hard disk for temporarily purposes. So stay tune for day 4 action.

    For those that bought me beers and chip in to support the course, thanks a million. Let’s get smashing! ^^

  • Can our beloved Datuk Lee Chong Wei win the World Championship at Hyderabad India in 2 weeks from now? Once again Chong Wei’s shoulder will be heavy as he is carrying Malaysia’s hope there.

    More burden on Chong Wei’s shoulder as he will be the top seed for the event. Chong Wei is most likely to meet nemesis Lin Dan in the semi finals. We can’t discard his earlier round opponents as dark horse Nguyen Tien Minh will be at his path. Nguyen will not be a pushover as he just recently won the Thailand Open 2009.

    Basically two things that Chong Wei has done right so far for preparing for the world event is that :-

    1] Having own cook

    As we know, Chong Wei was down with Diarrhoea the last time he was in Hyderabad. I wouldn’t want to comment anything about the food in India as i love Indian food myself! ^^ Maybe it was just Chong Wei not getting used to the food there. By having a own cook for the Malaysian camp is something positive towards the preparation of the championship

    2] Running away to Korea for training

    Chong Wei is a superstar in Malaysia. No doubt about that. There is many interference and disturbance whenever he is around in Malaysia due to his status. People will be disturbing and bugging him all the time. This will surely disrupt his preparation. So by going to Korea, no people will disturb him lah!

    Not only that, with Li Mao guidance and more sparring partner in Korea, this will make Chong Wei better prepared. Sad to say, there isn’t any good sparring partner for Chong Wei in the whole of Malaysia! How sad…

    I think Chong Wei is better prepared this time. Physically he should be 100% but his mental aspect when reaches to big tournaments is still a suspect. Chong Wei will win in Hyderabad if and only if Lin Dan is out early or he beats Lin Dan in the semi finals. Of course i am hoping for Lin Dan loosing early but what are the chances of Lin Dan going out early?

    We in Malaysia especially will be keeping our fingers crossed for him as we think he deserve something as a badminton player. I am going for Chong Wei for this year’s championship!

    Sorry i won’t be mentioning anything about our men doubles pairing as their inconsistent form is a suspect. Kien Keat and Boon Heong might be second seed but i think their hot and cold performances will cost them dearly again this time unless they proof us all wrong like how they did in their early days.

    So what say you on Chong Wei chances?

    Still got virus alert?

    Just want to ask whether you all still got the virus alert? It seems it’s gone now. Don’t know which monkey injected those crap stuff into Badmintonfreak.

    For those of you who missed the Indonesia Open finals please be patience. I have all the matches with me. Just need the time to load it up.

    So i just need feedback on the virus alert. Whether it’s still there or not. Please tell me as well whether you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox.

  • Perhentian Island here i come

    I will be away for a couple of days to Perhentian Island. The Aviva Singapore Open 2009 Men Singles Finals between Bao Chunlai taking on Boonsak Ponsana will be my last before i comeback just in time for the Indonesian Open Finals.

    I will be leaving in 2 hours time and ill be back on Saturday night. Might be able to catch the Indonesian Open 2009 semi finals. Keep your fingers crossed.

    Anyway time to forget about all my work for a couple of days. Island lifestyle is the best. Sun batching, bikini girls running around and beach sports… What else can you ask for?

    So guys and girls out there, take care and enjoy the videos that i have shared thus far. See you all soon ya! ^^

    Cheers…

    Yours sincerely,

    Jason
