BWF World Super Series Masters Finals

World top shuttlers are coming to town soon to compete in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Super Series Masters Finals. This great event will be held at the Likas Indoor Stadium in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from Dec 18–21.

World No.1, Datuk Lee Chong Wei (LCW) will lead our country’s challenge in the battle for prestige and of course, the prize money worth USD 500,000 (RM1.7 million). Wow…a lot of money !! I’m sure all eyes will be fixed on the Men’s Singles. Aside from LCW, other competitors in the event are Chen Jin (China), Sony Dwi Kuncoro (Indonesia), Joachim Perrson (Denmark), Peter Gade (Denmark), Lin Dan (China), Taufik Hidayat (Indonesia) and Chan Yan Kit (Hong Kong). Who will win this event? Lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best for LCW to reach the final.

If you don’t already know, tickets are on sale since yesterday. To avoid the hustle, you can buy them here . The tickets for the final will cost RM105 – RM125. Hmm..since I have ran out of idea on what to give hubby as present for Christmas this year, why not I belanja him to join the crowd in the stadium to the watch the final kan?! Something different from the previous years… Well, ONLY IF his boss DOES NOT ask him to go out-station again…harap-harap tidak la.

Somebody is getting RM300,000 richer tonite

Yes, that somebody is none other than our badminton hero, Lee Chong Wei. He will be presented with the RM300,000 cheque reward in a special function tonight at his hometown Penang. Plus, Chong Wei will also receive pension for life of RM3K/month. All bcos he won us the first ever SILVER medal at the on-going Beijing Olympic Games. Yey, clap and cheers for the man! Silver is not so bad what...see how many of our sportsmen / women came home empty handed. According to him, he’ll use the money to buy a house for his parents and live together with them in the house. Goood boy…

Chong Wei shows his medal to the PM as Youth & Sport Minister and BAM President look on.

We will still see him in action again at the next game in London Olympics 2012. Got another 4 years for him to do serious training and improve his performance. Who knows he might be able to redeem his loss and bring home Malaysia’s first GOLD medal.

Maybe we don’t have to wait that long to see him battling Super Dan again, maybe they’ll meet at the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010.

Well, let us keep our finger cross and hope for the best for him. Jia you (3x)!
