Besides Liverpool, I am also an avid fan of other sports such as badminton, tennis, golf and etc. The new season of Badminton has started and the first round results of the Malaysian Open for the Malaysians were mixed nevertheless. We have Chong Wei, Beng Hong, Kay Bin and Choon Hann through to the 2nd Round. Hafiz disappointed once more with his loss to Chen Hong, the player he defeated in the 2003 All England Final. In my honest opinion, he will be a goner in the badminton scene if he does not buck up anytime soon. Guess what? He will be facing Chen Hong once more in the first round of the 2nd Super Series tournament of the year, the Korean Open.
Our doubles pairs that advanced were Kien Kiet-Boon Heong, Fairuz-Woon Fui and Bin Shen-Soon Hock. Our veteran pair of Tan Fook-Wan Wah once more proved to be the most inconsistent and erratic pair in the world when succumbing to opponents I never even heard of before. Perhaps the time is up for them to hang up their racquets and give the youngsters the chance to compete if they continue to under perform.
Wong Mew Choo upset Pi Hongyan to advance to the 2nd Round. Should be an interesting 2nd round of matches tomorrow. I for one is at the moment contemplating whether to go down KL to catch the semifinals and finals this weekend. I'll decide by tomorrow I guess. Hopefully, our shuttlers will win a few titles this time around. Malaysia Boleh!

too bad taufik lost
I should be going for the finals on Sunday, ticket permitting. Hopefully, we'll see a Chong Wei-Lin Dan final with our doubles pair making it into the final as well, what about a Tony Gunawan-Chandra Wijaya vs Koo Kien Kiet-Tan Boon Heong final? That would be great!
