2006-12-23T13:53:00.000+11:00

on Dec 16th my family and i went to Cairns for the great barrier feef...that was my dad's idea. he always said that Australia had the greatest reef of the world so we shall not missed it. our flight was 0810 by the time we arrive Cairns is 1230 local time which is an hour backwards of Melbourne's. checked in our luggage in the hotel, went to the town grab some food then back to hotel rest. night time walk around the town with a map on had, get more familiarize with the area. mean time we were searching for food as well...

Dec 17th, after we had breakfast, we left on board on a ship...where else we are going? of course going to the barrier reef lo...it was my very first time on board on a ship..it will take almost 2 hours to reach us there...i got sea sick...but wasnt that bad actually....just feeling uncomfartable...finally we arrived, those divers and people are going to have snorkeling were so excited, cant wait even a second more go get in to the water. too bad that my family didnt know that we could have activity such as snorkeling and diving..and we didnt ready ourselve an extra clothing..which is why we can only stay on the ship lo....taking pics...feeding fishes, and waiting for the time pass....

2006-12-09T01:50:00.000+11:00

finally today got the chance to meet up with my ex housemates, Sky and Gina...both of them treaten me really well when i was staying with them. we began our journey with bring them to dinner in the place that i work. had good meal and long chat. after that they said wanna bring me to place which is quite boring but it will be fun if i enjoying making friends. so why not follow them? arriving box hill library...we went in...just before i step in the door step i can see Sky and Gina friends, they are so friendly saying hi and introducing themselve...felt so warm and being welcome. the talk is about a healthy product. talking about how good is the product and trying to introduce join the company's business as well. i was quite interested but with many questions playing in my head. if u know me well, u would have know that i wont simply ask question to someone that i'm not familiar with. so i kept all those questions with me and decided to ask Sky and Gina. actually the chance to partner with the company can make good $$ but IF u need those product. what i said is if we wanna be part of the company we will have to purchase the product by our own and introduce them to other people. if it had achieve certain amount of point they had set they will give out cheque as the payment. for me, my family always in healthy condition, not to deny preventing anything happen better than taking treatment or before it is too late. but my family dont need it so i think i'll not taking part in this.

however from today i learned something as well, i see through how friends treat me as. if i really contribute myself in the company, of course my friends would have receiving more $$ in their next pay. they wanna get something from me...is pretty obvious on their action...but i'm glad this is not so bad...if i need the healthy product i would have to thank them. but i know is pretty normal wiht those incident happen between friends. all i can say is friend can be really nice to u but when they need u for something which brings benefit on they own they will do it. but Sky and Gina is nice they just wanna introduce me the product...let me have the chance of knowing how direct sales work in this society. and i got a book as well. this have to thank to Uncle"Da shu" he got the book named "Rich dad" which was one of the top sales book last 2 years i think. he gave it to me cause he said he know those stuff in the book wo...just that is in chinese version..if it is english version it will be better...hehe can practice my english ma...haha anyway had learnt a lot today and know lots of friends TQ everyone!!

2006-10-02T18:14:00.000+10:00

finally school had re-open on today. i wasnt feel as excited as i used to but..yea just that i wont feel as bored...yesterday i brought my mom and sis to St Kilda beach. we actually been there last year when we were here for vocation. so i brought them here again to walk a bit further... the other reason is my marketing presentation actually i have to present a cafe/restaurant, that we have to promote product or services. so the location i chose for my cafe is in St Kilda.. hehe...smart le...know how to got there and take some pictures :P

my mom recalled memory that we actually came with my aunt last year. is a good day to go to beach actually...warm enough even wind blows... took some pictures... take a look...

still on holidays...

2006-09-29T16:12:00.000+10:00

holidays holidays holidays... what can i do during holidays? sleeping late? recently sleeping late enough especially yesterday...i was awake until 4am in the morning and yet i still not feeling sleepy..why? my heart still with the shocked that what had happened yesterday... i never been through this in my life. been deep thinking last night..rather than chatting like what i did in normal days... am i suitable to work now? can i click well in this society? how well can i succeed in the future? or maybe i will not be succeed at all...end up become a clark in a small company, making coffee for boss, typing...sending documents?

life is hard....yesterday's incident almost hit all my confidence to no where. almost delete my power point for marketing presentaition, thinking not going to study for accounting test when school re-open. what else being second highest scorer in accounting class or even best student to receive an award when i graduate to get my Dip? could i be bothering all these? been thinking...why should i work? why should i torturing myself? or i am too weak for this society...? perhaps i'm correct...way too weak... i got pocket $$ from dad...more than enough for me to spend... so why bothering so much to work.... again...the same question..should i continue working? if i quit means i really giving up and i'm very weak...and i wont have extra pocket $$. plus is very sien to stay at home...imagine...finish class at 12noon..walao...i cant imagine my life just sitting at home with my BOOOKS!! but i wont get scold lo...wont be unhappy lo...if i quit... if i dont, $$ keeps flowing into my account...being more tough...emm what else? experiences perhaps? keep unhappy once awhile? ambivalance between do or not to.. or maybe retarted..

aiya dunno la...see how it goes tomorrow then only decide...now all i know is i have to get myself become happy again and get back all my confidence..although my confidence back and i may not be as what i target..but at least i tried right...ok is time to to something...jogging...but...16c now...nevermind... i can do it!! ciao!!

Not a good day...

2006-09-29T00:21:00.000+10:00

Again problem arised in my work place.this time i'm not going into too detail cause it might pissed person who is reading. anyway, i got scold by boss and it wasn't such a big mistake that made by me. she shouted out loud to me" i want to change stuff!!" Wow, thats was loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear it. well, luckily, i watched the TVB drama, Revolvong Doors of Vengeance; the main actress said a quote before:" the wages that i get is including being scold by customer." well, i feel this is correct. as long as i get paid on time with right anount so being scold it doesn't matter. no matter it is mine or other's people fault, it is fine by me. anyway i'm fine, just that haven't over come with such harsh words... hoping for better day la :) oh ya, good luck for Hong!! she is going to have an interview on tomorrow for a drama. interviewing as a main actress!! all the best ya :P

Induction for Melbourne cup

2006-09-27T19:51:00.000+10:00

yesterday i went to an induction due to i have registered myself to work during Melbourne Cup. $40 per hour, how can your heart have no feeling le? in short term, Melbourne Cup is one of the most popular spectator events in Australia, with over 110,000 people, some dressed in traditional formal raceday wear and others in all manner of exotic and amusing costumes, attending the race. In 2005 a total of 383,784 race fans attended the Melbourne Cup Carnival annual event. At 2005, the trophy was a gold loving cup worth $75,000.

is my first time been to Flemington, where the event will take place. asking people way to go to the venue...after an hour walk..finally i arrived. i left home at 4pm, and the induction started at 610pm. i was almost late.

workers bring us to the restaurant that we distributes to showed us the bars kitchens, working procedures, and blah blah blah...they even show us how to write a docket...suddenly i felt fizzy but my hands were cold...blury of my eye sight..weak and sweat...is that what we normally call faint? i dont know...i only know if i dont tell anybody i might collaps in anytime. i put up my hand and told them my situation. they are so nice....let me sit down and bring me some water. they were shocked that i looked pale. Ms Dona came to me and took me out for a walk. after 10 munites, i felt much better than before and Ms Dona asked Pamela, a regular worker from the restaurant sent me home.

this is a good experience that i will make sure i had enough food to maintain my energy level. although those feeling was terrible...feeling hot and cold, weak..cant really breath, but i'm glad that there are people who take care of each other although they did not know us. TQ so much.

with a suprise, today's afternoon, Ms Pauline, the other instructor of the restaurant rang me up to make sure i'm feeling better now. i'm glad that now i'm part of the team member for the Melbourne cup, because they care of us. they dont treat us as worker but team mamber.

Continue for the day...14 Sept..

2006-09-15T01:28:00.000+10:00

after afternoon nap i went to work as usual. still feel exhausted. made few careless mistake in the beginning...luckily my boss wasnt there. since after a glass of ice lemon tea which made by me feeling much better. and thursday is my favourite day to work. there are number of regular customer that are really nice and we all know them very well on their preferance. hehe...easy so serve them ma..some more they are so friendly...

so things happened as well. there was an old lady order sweet sour pork with fried rice..so i sent in the docket after i repeated the order. suddenly my partner came to me and blame me. she told me that the lady actually ordered sweet sour chicken instead of pork. my boss saw everything in her eyes..getting unhappy already..since i was incharge of that table i went to confirm again. actually the lady cant take prawn, and she doesn know in thr fried rice got prawn until she saw it. so she apologized and ask for normal rice. well.. innocent kena from my partner although is not my fault.. nvm...hoping same thing wont happen again la...

2006-09-10T23:44:00.000+10:00

laziness was dragging me away to visit my sister in Frankston however something tempting me to go there...because a watch that i saw 5 months ago in Frankston....last month i dropped my watch in the train so planning to get a similiar watch lo... so went lo with my mom...

well, the bad new was i cant find the watch anymore and the other watches such as DNKY wasnt so nice actually i dont mind paying for the price if i really like something and i think is worth it...so too bad la...nothing caught into my eyes...since my sis wanted we get her some veg before we go to her house so we bought for her and my mom forgetten to get her, so we go back to the supermarket to get it...

since i was having those bags with me so i didnt follow my mom and in went in to a shop that sells those sports stuff. i was attracted at the running shoes section so whole my steps and start "hunting". the sales girl was there standing looking at those thing i was carrying<> and tryin to figure out what brand is my footwear. too bad my jeans too long, it covers the brand. since she thought i wasnt wearing those branded sports shoes and she thought i can affort to get one so she just ignore me. actually i was wearing my Nike shoes, was planning to get another 1 since my Adidas is almost can throw liao...so i kept looking...but i walked out from the shop in the end cause i dont like the service there and not much pattern i can choose.

anyway going to get it soon or later in those diract factory outlet....much cheaper and more variety...hehe...

my life had being F*** up!!

waking up with happy mood cause i'm going to go out with Glorie although i'm still tired. 1035, was about to step out from the door...i received a sms..."DHM29, as per your timetable you have a roastered restaurant class today (Fri 08-Sept). could you please advise as to your whereabouts on 92******" WTH!! i didnt get any notice my timetabke was written i will not have any Friday class til Okt. damn!! called up to school... the receptionist was telling me that is my choice to go or not to. if i dont i will be marked absent if i do i will be mark late. well do i have the choice being an international student? absolutely NO choice at all. if i missed this 6 hours class my attendence will be insufficient. i went to school with my grumpy mood.

Damn i couldnt find a locker to place my bag. Fine!! even more grumpy!! Budgie, one of my favourite lecturer is in charge in the restaurant and my cookery lec is in charge in the kitchen operation.

conversations between me n my lecturers.

Budgie: yo Chui Lee, u are here.
me: i couldnt get any locker to place my bag and stuff!!
Budgie: just leave it in the restaurant cupboard

*throw my things in d cupboard mean while Scotty walked in**

Scotty: Hello Chui Lee..
me:..... *putting my jacket angrily**
Budgie: whats going on?
me: i received a sms just now to tell me to come to class and i have promised my

friend to go out with her. this class was not in my timetable!!
Budgie: well, i'm not stress. if you wanna go with your friend..just go i dont mind...
me: i'm a international student if i'm not coming my attendence will be insufficient.
i'm force to come.
Budgie: no one force you to come. dont worry about the attendence. i can handle 30
person by my own.

*Scotty walks towards me**

Scotty: come on Chui Lee, shake my hand. smile k.

*i shaked his hand and gave him a very fake smile**

Scotty: oh Chui Lee, come, giv me a hug

*i dont want to hug him so i just ignore him and start my work**

being a professional in hospitality industry, no matter what happened we still have to smile to our customer. i understand this very well. i know i have to do it even though i sweared to my mom i wont do so. Poor Budgie, wondering was i ok to serve customer and i promised him i will do what i have to. he asked me to give him a smile and i did. *consider quite nice smile cause still quite angry that time**

throughout the services i did what i promised just that i was kinda forgotten some steps to serve. BUT i smiled...very nice...my customers said my service was lovely. they were very happy and sais i was well trained. *anger reduced to the lowest level**

i was running the back of house to do all the dishes at the same time while having my services on. Scotty had made me a sticky bun. see..how sweet is my lecturer.. he just wanna make my day better. well i shared it with my partner. *only 2 of us turned up**

after i apologize for being so grumpy to Budgie and made things clear. i left.

***************************************************************************

tonight i'm not suppose to be there to update my blog if u read my previous one. i'm suppose to be in Box Hill attending a farewell party of my colleague. 1 week before, i told my mom i wanted to go. today she asked me not to go!! WTH again. things happened twice in a day. it really pissed my out. she said is too dangerous and she doesnt trust those people who are going to send us back. i'm not angry of she dont let me go is that dont tell me last minute!! is like what had happened this morning!! they already booked the table and the head chef always laugh at me cause i told him i need to get permission from my mom before i can actually go. "19 years old...still need to ask permission to go out..." i totally understand how a mother feel if their daughter going out at night to the place that she is not familiar with. but have them ever think of my feeling? how am i suppose to face my other colleague when i back to work? when i told her i wanted to go to the farewell party she did not say anything about it. so i assume that she agree with me.

mom: i dunno who is going to send u back in so late time. they are not working next
day sure they are going to go home late.they are sending u home i dont trust

them.they might sent u to some where else.
me: why now only u tell me?! at least u should have told me earlier or u shouldnt

have agreed with me!!
mom: i didn say anything about it. u were so excited to go by saying so many reasons
and what can i say. i didn with u since the begining.
me: u are my mom. if u dont like u have to tell. i have already promised them to go
and they had booked the table. even i might not happy if u rejected my request
but it wont be as bad as now!! you have no different with my school on what
they have done to me today

*in the morning she was totally disagreed with what my school have done to me**

shit things happened to me twice today. i dont like things changes last minutes, especially on things i had planned. and i totally hate to break my promise. i hate it!!mreally pissed off. i did nothing as i planned today!! any how i called up and tell them i'm not going. i seriously preferred that she would have say NO at the beginning. is either "yes" or "no" only. what so difficult bout it! i have to listen cause she is my mom!! argh!!

I'm back!!

2006-09-08T00:18:00.000+10:00

FunCtions!?

2006-05-20T16:50:00.000+10:00

i was on the shift of restaurant training tonight...is function again...but today's function is for 30 people. anyway, going to tell whats happened yesterday..the function that i had yesterday was a award giving ceremony for the best students in different course. as uasal we started with setting up for 80 people...thats huge number of people we r going to serve....so...polishing cutleries, table cloth on tables, placing cutleries, water glasses, red, white and desert wine glasses, and more....Jules was the teacher of incharge for the day...shenseemd to be so nervous...rushing here and there...sometimes she dont even know what is she doing and what should be done next. all i can say is she just stress everyone up!! * sorry for saying bad things bout her but i'm just telling the truth*

Danushka and i was incharge a table of 10. everything was fine on my table...but i wasnt so happy bout something happened at the end. we were asked to go to the kitchen go get all the dishes... 3 plates carrying is the most basic method we have to use..it was so heavy...i was holding 3 plates almost more than 2 minutes to wait til my turn to serve...and i almost drop those plates due to having sore arm...*sounds useless*
when seeing those hughly award student stepped on the stage to receive their prize i was thinking...do i have the chance to step on the stage and receiving those award too while my parents were sitting down there watching me..i guess those feelings must be amazing and fantastic..

after the function, we were *order* by those seniors to wash all the glasses and plates and polish them while they were chit chatting and just arranging those wine glasses back to those boxes..WTH!! i was totally mad ans i throw my madness on some of the seniors...i just hate them so much...they only know how 2 order ppl to do things.

although things happened but experiences gain in this functions...i have learned that when we are on duty we are not suppose to have a single piece of food even we are invited to do so. because there were some left over dessert and the chef said that we can have it, but unfortunately Jules came in and scolded us badly abd said" there aren't any server in the function room and what are u all doing here? now get out from here and back to work...!! throw all the food into the bin!!" WOW!! once i stepped into the function room there were some other students were there! u just couldn't stand here...we are human too...i saw her eating in the kitchen while talking with the chef...this is unfair, but i know i got no right to said it since i'm just a student..well, i should learn my lesson then..

Last cookery class for the semaster..kinda sad...

2006-05-14T00:01:00.000+10:00

other than today is the last day for cookery class..we also had final test as well..was nervous because my goal for this test is highest scorer in the class. ridiculous? i think it is...but..i hv been thinking, my class wasnt big...it has only 20 plus people...not to deny there are student who is elder than me and they had completed their degree or sth..but there are also some student who only hoping for a passing grade...so i made a promise to my cookery lecturer and my mom that i will be the highest scorer in the class...feeling depressed starting in the afternoon..didnt go to bed til 5am [other than studying was actually chatting with my classmate :P]

so the test wasnt hard..only 14 quesitons...but so far i know i got 2 wrong...*hisk** 100%....not more...!!~ after the test...we are going to do the last cooking method out of 11 which is baking...obviously we are going to bake some breads...*yummy!!~~** after got change... we started our last lesson...everyone was distributed for different task of weighing different ingrediant which is needed....after watch Mr Scott demosrate to us... then we hv 20minutes break while waiting for the bread ready to start the next steps. in the 20 minutes...my friends n i took some pic together and also with mr Scott as well...so memorable....

since it is the last class....we get 2 eat more after we bake those bread and we are allow to bring it home. so i bought 2 decided to give it to my sister tomorrow...hopefully Mr Scoot will be teacing us again...gonna miss him like crazy!! take care ya!! MuackZ**

2006-03-31T22:56:00.000+11:00

today i had beverage class and we had wine tasting. the white wine was good. sweet and rich fruity aroma. is a "flying fish 2005, sauvinion blanc semillion" from western australia... try it. i think girls will like it. the other red wine wasn't bad too. "Gramps 2002, carbenet merlot" .

so after beverage class was a brand new class. we will be learning serving in restaurant....due to today is windy and the lecturer lecturing without tone....so everyone was so sleep...and myself almost fall asleep..

suddenly my friend asked me to look at my friend who was sitting behind me. he is from sri lanka...i saw him was sleeping with his elbow put on his laps and his hands was supporting his chin and he is facing the lecturer...my God...he looks damn funny...it is too funny til i have forgotten to take picture of it. damn it! after i saw it in the next secong i started laughing...tried to cover hardly...luckily lecturer gave us 2 minutes break after i saw him sleeping...i laugh out loudly...it was really loud til i ran out from the class room. the rest who noticed were laughing as well too..

after the break some of them was still laughing too, but no as horrible. in this case let me think of no sleeping in the class. alhtough it sounds easy...but...anyway will try to have healthy life style.

Special for Paul Tan:
i need u guy's help badly. i have a friend, his friend named Paul recently had an incident which made him cant breathe on his own, paralized 75% of his body....and he might lose his eyesight... and he is only 20+...his bright future is still waiting for him...so people PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!! i just need a minutes from u to pray for him...Please...
thanx for those who willing to ...thanx a lot...i'm sure his parents, himself and his friends need it a lot....it will be very meaningful....once again thanx for your kindness.

What a day..**

2006-03-30T03:15:00.000+11:00

would u ever think that i will ponteng class? emm..i did today...my day started with my sleepy head on...damn it...so sleepy....normally in Mr. Mohamad's class i won't fall asleep because he always ask and telling things in Malaysia. but today...really can't concentrate in class....2 hours class...finally it is over....after lunch we had another class... we are suppose to do a role play for next week and the lecturer had given us free time to practice on our own..we can do it outside the class as long as we have to be back at 430pm or else we will be marked absent. that time was just 230pm, i begged my friend, Vyonne. she has car and i was telling her that i havent been around...so my other other friend with my idea as well..so we went to the nearest shopping mall. due to i just moved in new house i need to some stuff to place my things so it looks tidy...we went to Roxy, Bilabong's shop...looking at nice stuff and comparing the price as well, girls ma... :P....end up i only got a magazine folder...so we were back to school at 415...when the lecturer saw us...he said" you all may go now." yippy !! finish school early today !!

my housemate said want to bring me to have Xin Jiang dish as dinner and he bring his other 2 Russian friends as well, Victoria and Vlad. both of them are very friendly...on the dining table we were sharing each other's cultural and beliefs...we had mutton springs, dumplings and a lot more local(Xin Jiang) dish...it was fantastic....especially the mutton spring and dumplings...the muttom spring is so soft...and the dumpling inside is so juicy...yummy !! but is not really good for the Russian friend because they cant take spicy food and there were quite a few spicy dish. Vlad had ordered 2 spicy mutton spring and he only had 1...his lips was burnign red !! so i exchange mine with him which is no spicy mutton spring with him.

time flies especially on happy moment. really enjoy the moment that we had...drawing map on tisu paper, sharing each other's experiences....before they leave they gave a peck to everyone on the cheek with kissing sound(muacks). i was shocked when Vlad did it to me after Victoria. that is their traditional...haha...now when i think back it is so friendly and warm..hope i got the chance to hang out with them again !!

Commonwealth Game final for badminton

2006-03-26T23:22:00.000+11:00

26 March 2006, Commonwealth Game final for Badminton. I thought today will be a bad day because we were later for the game. We were later for 30minutes, because of the old lady gave us the dead wrong direction and she was really sure that she is correct !! damn it !! we missed the Men's single !! Choong Hann Vs Chong Wei !! argh! Chong Wei won the game and became the gold medal winner. When we arrive there Mew Choo was palying with Tracy form England. Tracy was really great. Her power to the shuttle is always correct.. the shuttle always drop just before the line !! coolness, besides I was getting worrier… England's team is gaining point but Malaysia team ..Come on Malaysia!! at last Mew Choo was defeated by Tracy but she did pretty good work too..well done Mew Choo!!

After women's single was the first giving ceremony for men's single. Most of the audiences were crowded beyond the court. Here they are…I can see Chong Wei following by Choong Hann and then India player…why they have no flag with them? An idea came across my mind…our flag!! Give it to them!! With the fastest speed that I could, I took out the flag and passed it to Choong Hann when he was walking pass. He gave the flag to Chong Wei since he is the Gold medalist. Yeah our flag is on TV haha…!!~~ now is the time to sing our national anthem. This is the first time I feel proud singing our national anthem with so many foreigners beside me. Looking at the flag, standing straight and sang the lyrics out!! after the prize giving we were waited for our flag where normally we get to take pictures and signatures from the players. Since we were not allow to go in so we asked a volunteer worker to get the flag back from the players. About 3 minutes later,a man with white and black hair holding a Malaysia flag, that is our flag. A friendly smile from him to us and he folded the flag nicely and gave it back to us. When we were about to leave, he took out an envelope, I was wondering is he going to give us something? I was right, he gave my sis and I each of us a pin. A Commonwealth Game pin where there is a logo of Commenwealth Game for this year and a Malaysia flag on it!! Nice !!

The coming match is going to be spectacular and exciting match because is women's double, Malaysia Vs Singapore!! Singapore players are much more taller if compare to ours. During the match, one of the Singapore player became the fastest speed in women's double ! congrates !! it was so close. Almost a near missed of the gold medal for Malaysia. The Singapore's players have good stamina while our players looked exhausted before the second game starts. My God!! Worried la.. second came has begun, at first singapore was leading….malaysia catching up after that but they really looked tired…when is comes to Malaysia 20 and Singapore 18… everyone was holding their breath, my heart almost stop beating. It is normal when it comes to the game point the team is going to win normally will lose the point…it seriously happened!! Oh My God!! “come on Malaysia”, I shouted. This time the exhibition hall was silent and my heart is stop beating this time. We can only hear the sound of shuttles being hit and the movement of the players… “yeah !!” the Malaysia players yelled by grabbing their fist hard. Almost everyone in the hall cheers for them. It was really close ! phew…

Is prize giving again…this time is prize giving for women's single. How come Mew Choo have no flag !!?? the others players all of them have a flag…look so kesian la… so my sis handed the flag to her when she walked pass by us. A gentle a warm smile and “thank you” she replied. I guess she must be very upset of missing the gold medal. Mew Choo, we are always supporting you, never give up !! we went to the same place to wait for our flag again. This time we would like them to keep the flag because we are sure later they are going to used it and the man accepted our offer.

Coming up was mix double. England Vs New Zealand all I can say is England is really good in mix double. Nathan Robertson/Gail Emms have the great unspoken consensus. With a good partner who can make the other partner feel comfortable, is always a step ahead nearer to victory. They made very fast smashes! There were sometimes the shuttle almost hit one of the player or they wanted to defense so the New Zealand player hit the shuttle out of the line. Sometimes even almost “kena” the judge :P. Of course the victory goes to England with 21-17 21-10 defeated New Zealand. What a splendid victory !!

After mix double is the prize giving for women's double. Hurray!! We saw our player had put on the flag, and the other partner has a smaller flag. We didn't notice the Singapore players are so pretty until the prize giving. When medal gives to Malaysia's player; all the Malaysian cheers as loud as they could.

The last match for badminton match was men's double; Malaysia Vs Malaysia. Haha!! Choong Hann and Tan Fook as a team while Chong Ming and Kien Keat as another team. Although both teams were from Malaysia but personally I support Choong Hann's team better. Of course each of them gains points I did clap for them. If you have visited my previous post you will know that Tan Fook has a nick name. his performance wasn't quite good on that day. Quite disappointed. Points of Tan Fook's team were remaining while Chong Ming's team was increasing. Oh…one more point loses to them again. Tan Fook kept saying sorry to Choong Hann..poor guy…“Tan Fook” I shouted out loudly. They lost points in one second slow in reacting or missed hitting the shuttle. Of course in situation like this, Choong Ming and Kien Keat as the gold medalists for this Commonwealth Game !! Congratez !!

Last prize giving ceremony for Men's double. My sis and I start wondering why none of our players have flag with them? How come? I kept shooting pictures while thinking why… during all the prize giving I really feel proud of all the players. For the players, they had done a very good job to show their profession. And as a Malaysian I should be proud that Malaysia has such a good badminton team which brought our country to more international and well known. After the last prize giving, as usual I went to wait for the players to hope that I can take pictures with them. We saw Chong Ming and Kien Keat and took pictures with them. Kien Keats has more fans than Ching Ming, because most of the girls think that he is cuter.. I heard some girls were shouting “Kien Keat, you are so handsome” and “ Kien Keat, you are so cute”. I guess, Kien Keat must be overjoy lo… I saw Chong Wei, I shouted out his name loudly and he came towards us and start interacting with his fans, of course I went to ask for his signature again. At that time Chong Meng and Kien Keat already went in to get ready to leave. Suddenly Kien Keat came out and threw the flower he had from the prize giving ceremony. Most of the people think that it doesn't look nice so no one want the flower except me. Unfortunately, the flower hit a girl's head and she was so angry at Kien Keat. Of course o took the flower since it is just in front of me. hehe..

The workers started chasing all the fans away due to they are going to close the venue. After most of the fans left while me and my sis were still there taking some pictures, I saw Tan Fook. I know my sis wants his signature so much, again I shout out his name loudly. He heard me and came to us…we took out all the books we brought and let him sign. Both of us had nice pictures with him. We actually chat with him although he doesn’t know us. He sounds so sad by saying he is getting old and hopeless for him. I felt the pain of my heart when he said that. Of course we did encourage him by saying he is not old and he is a good player. My sis asked why he didn’t use our flag and he gave a funny reply “ aiya, from same country and also same team against each other wo..so no need to put on flag la.” Haha..!!~~ After 2 minutes of chatting, we have to leave..the worker is chasing us again. Right before we left the hall, we stood on the stage where the players stood on it when they are receiving prize and we took a picture as a memory of being in the live venue of the matches. Finally the Commonwealth Game is ended. Although it will never be enough by watching the players that we like having game, but I’m satisfied with it. Hope they will keep it up for the coming Asia game in Malaysia and Thomas Cup in Japan on April!! All the best and MALAYSIA BOLEH !!

Special for Tan Fook: It is really sad to hear what you have said to me. Although you are at the age of thirty but you are still very good. All you need is confident. Without confident u cant win your opponent even yourself as well. I know you are having injuries with you, if you really want to retire, of course there is no one can stop you. But I believe all the Malaysian hope that you can win the gold medal in the coming Asia game and the Thomas Cup. All the Malaysian will be supporting you, Tan Fook. Never GIVE UP !! All the best to you.** YOU ARE THE BEST

Malaysia YOU ARE THE BEST !!~~

Semi final!! yeah !! finally is here...Malaysia is playing for Men's double, men's single, women's single, women's double and mix double. Men's single was the first game. Choong Hann was Playing the game Vs India. as i heard from my sis he is going to play 4 matches today :S so cham....sure he very tired....heart feel pain !! the India player wasn't that strong for Choong Hann but due to some reason...he still have to play 3 games to achieve the victory for men's single in semi final. i'm not really sure what was happened, but there is always a clue...the judge...the judge was the key of the problem...

Not only Choong Hann dislike the judge, the audience as well. The judge is a Chinese and he act very stingy. Every time the player asks for new shuttle he ask for really close look of the shuttle before he allows it. Argh !! After Choong Hann was Chong Wei’s turn. The opponent was from England. At this there are a lot of Malaysian sitting at the same role with us. Suddenly there were 2 “perempuan melayu” sitting beside me. I was really angry with them, because they were supporting England. When Choong Hann was playing they were supporting Malaysia team. Seriously I was really angry with them. When Chong Wei won the point both of them cheer for England team !! PEMBELOT !! but the others Malay were great. Very patriotic and funny. They cheer as loud as they can. When Malaysia keep on losing points they will shout” come on Malaysia, never give up!”, “Malaysia Boleh” or shouting for the player’s name. the atmosphere was really great and hot!! Full of semangat Malaysia. I still remember 1 of the Malay guy was really funny…..when New Zealand cheer for their team, the Malay guy always reply “ tak takut” repeat in 3 time with the sense of rhythm which normally used in Malaysia… the other 1 was he was cheering” satu tak cukup, dua tak cukup, tiga hapus secukup cukup”. So creative !! very supportive fans !!

The game continued with men’s double, Chong Ming/Kien Keat and Choong Hann/Tan Fook. Malaysia defeated Australia on two games. The lady sat beside me (the Malay ladies kena chase because they were sitting on other ppl’s seats) she was cheering and she asked me to cheer for Australia while Malaysia Vs Australia..of course she was just joking. She knew how much I love and cheer for Malaysia. Choong Hann Wong/Tan Fook Choong Vs Anthony Clark/Robert Blair. The England players are tall and of course they are good as well. Although they are strong but the spirit from all the supporters bring the players have higher fighting spirit! Choong Hann had 4 matches on today; I guess he is really tired. That is why he shouts out every time he has got the point. Luckily Tan Fook wasn’t act as the nick that he has. His speed, attacking, back hand and everything was good. They completed the match very fast. And also not to forget Choong Hann has created a new record as the record holder the fastest shuttle speed! Congrates !! Women’s double; Malaysia Vs India. India team wasn’t a strong team for Malaysia. India was defeated by Malaysia with 21-8 21-3. the most outstanding match in Women’s double was Singapore Vs England. Players from both teams are equally tall and fast in speed as well…but maybe the lucky star wasn’t with England’s team. They were defeated. The only for Malaysia supporters is our mix double team was defeated. We lost the chance to get 5 gold medals.
The following are the result:

Chong Wei Lee (Malaysia) beat Aamir Ghaffar (England) 21-8 21-9

Choong Hann Wong (Malaysia) beat Chetan Anand (India) 21-11 17-21 21-13

Mew Choo Wong (Malaysia) beat Susan Hughes (Scotland) 21-7 21-18

Chong Ming Chan/Kien Keat Koo (Malaysia) beat Travis Denney/Ashley Brehaut (Australia) 21-11 21-8

Choong Hann Wong/Tan Fook Choong (Malaysia) beat Anthony Clark/Robert Blair (England) 21-12 21-11

Pei Tty Wong/Eei Hui Chin (Malaysia) beat Trupti Murgunde/Saina Nehwal (India) 21-8 21-33

Yanmei Jiang/Yujia Li (Singapore) beat 2-Gail Emms/Donna Kellogg (England) 21-8 21-14

Robertson/Emms (England) bt Saputra/Li (Singapore) 19-21 21-14 21-17

Shirley/Runesten Petersen (Nzl) bt Koo/Wong (Mas) 15-21 21-14 21-15

I’m looking forward to the final game! I want to see Malaysia players become the gold medalists and all the Malaysian singing “Negaraku” !! Malaysia all the best!! Malaysia boleh!!

signature from Choong Hann and fantastic matches !!

individual matches has begun yesterday. i went to city quite early to do some shopping :P haha.. i bought something with very good deal, Yeah !! 3 ++pm, is time go start my journey to exhibition hall lo...when i arrived there was 3.30pm and there were very few people. after i asked the worker which court Malaysia team will be playing, i took the firt line seat again...hehe...of course i did reserve a seat for my sis since she has class. time was getting closer for the game to begin....finally my sis is here right before the game start. it disappointed my sis and i because it started with men's double but Malaysia team was far behind, second last team....finally, time to cheer!! Malaysia boleh !! Men's double with Choong Hann and Tang Fook!! my sis told me Tang Fook has a nick name call "san ging dou"= gila knife. beacause he has the potential but sometimes he can be very good sometimes he can be kind of "lousy". throughout the whole game, other than cheering i was squeezing the flag most of the time and screaming all the time in my heart ....poor flag.... Choong Hann's performance was good...haha...Tang Fook ar....seems like the nickname for him is regarding the situation lo...but he did quite well overall...i like his smashes....is so powerful!! i will only think there will only excited during the game but who knows there might have some jokes as well..in the second game...suddenly Choong Hann walked toward to tang Fook and PLAY his hair !! whats going on?! haha...actually Choong Hann was trying to take the shuttle feather from Tang Fook's hair....haha....all the audience were laughing with his action. it was a real good match...of course Malaysia won !!

after Malaysia play, my sis and i know he will be having interview as usual so we waited him as the same place as last time we met him..this time a lot of his fans were there too...everyone wants to take pictures with him and asking for his signature....finally i got his signature and i got the chance to help my sis to take picture with him !! yeah!! thinking of giving the signature to my ex-god brother...should i?? i wonder...

coming up with women's double....ei....other than Ooi Sock Al, is a new player..named Julia Wong...getting worry already...afraid we might lose...but both of them did not disappoint all the supporters...21-8, 21-5.... both of our players are good...smashing, placing, teamwork...keep it up !! Proud of you girls !!

i realised that player from India are good. they are real good. Trupti Murgunde and Saina Nehwal. when they were against with Jamaica player...both of them are equally good. Jamaica player always smashing.very strong smashes!! getting interested in Jamaica players as well. i never thought jamaica players have such good skills....!! although 1 of them look skinny but never look down at her...she can do really strong smashes !! with 2 games, India won. both of their point were really close...once again congrates to all the winner.... lookin farward to Fri...because i'm going to watch again!! yeah !! hopefully tis time can take picutre with Choong Hann la...Malaysia Boleh !!

Choong Hann RoxX !!~~

i really cant believe this happened to me !! my sister and i went to the exhibition hall for the Commonwealth Game to support our Malaysia badminton team. My sister brought the huge Malaysia flag with her as well. when we were in the hall, we found out that our seats were on the England side !! of course my sister and i wish to have seats at the Malaysia side...so we started shooting pictures around..when i heard the anouncement of Malaysia team and i saw Choong Hann walking to the court, so i ran to the court and start taking pictures !! this is my very first time seeing my idol right in front of me. i really cant describe the feelings with my limited vocabulary. But we were lucky enough because there was a lady who supporting England team but having the seats near Malaysia side view..so we exchanged the ticket with her. Unbelievable!! we had the first line of seats...which means we had the seats which can see the players very clearly...we were holding the flag with us and we found that we are the only one who holding Malaysia flag!! due to it is my first time attending live matches in my life, i dare not scream out " Go, Malaysia Boleh", " Choong Hann, CW, jia you" but we do cheers and oscillated the flag when they got a point...most of the Malaysian will only shout out the slogan " Malaysia Boleh" when our team has finally won the game. hopefully in all the coming games, Malaysian should be more bubble with enthusiasm !! cheers for Malaysia !!

The games began, first started with mix double Choong Hann and his partner have done a pretty good job, settle in 2 games. Follow up is Man - Single. Lee CW was playing for Malaysia. he won the first game easily, when came to the second game, the Australian player seems to be more aware of CW's actions, but CW is professional enough to handle everything. he has great placing skills as well.the Australian lady was shocked and praised with Malaysia player!! i'm sure everyone will cheer if you were in the hall with me when came to d point of 16 in game 2, it was fantastic !! Nice play CW !!

After CW was Mew Choo's turn - women single. the Australia's player look very young, i think she is younger than me. Due to she is lack of experience, our player is a great challanger for her. she was quite fras when she missed the score. Mew Choo was goos as well. her Coach- Li Mao wasnt lectured her as much of compare to the Australia's coach...Mew Choo also settle the match in 2 games - 21-16, 21-18

My sis and i was waiting for the men's double, but we were hungry and we didnt see any players yet, so we decided to find a place and have our lunch. we wanted to take a short cut to go out but we failed. the worker showed us the track that we should use and told us maybe we have the chance to meet Choong Hann !! Choong Hann !! My God !! we sprint to the direction that the guy showed and we saw Him !! Choong Hann !! he was talking with a guy...both of us were so excited and my sis was kind of shy...hehe...but unfortunely, before he finish the conversation with then guy, the coach asked him to get ready to leave...sadness...but he still wave and said hi to both of usbefore he leave...we were quite upset because my sis wanted to take pictures with him and have his signature as well.

Since the was no more match between Malaysia and Australia because we have won 3 games, so my sis insist to watch match on men's double between India and Canade. i was so tired and wished i can go back at the moment becuase i was having insomia and i slept less than an hour !! although the competition between India and Canada was strenuous and stimulus, i fall asleep!! but it was really fierce competition. both of them getting points after one another. to not deny, India players did very good smashes throughout the whole game. the shuttle's speed can up to 284km/h !! Finally the winner fall to India !! Congratas to all the Winners.
Althought this time we couldn't take pictures and have signatures from Choong Hann but i still have 3 more chances...so everyone please pray for us...my sis really like him so much...she was a big fan of Choong Hann since she was in primary school. All the best for Malaysia team !! Malaysia pasti boleh !! Malaysia Boleh !!
