Of Food and the Support...

I'm back after a week absent from my blog. I'm still in holiday, until next week.

There's this topic I wanted to shared.
It's actually been a while since I watched a live sport match in a bistro. I always like to be in such atmosphere. Why? You gather with people around you to support a particular athlete or team. Not forgetting the food and drinks served. Feels very different watching live telecast outside than at home. You can scream all your heart out without others thinking you're out of mind or making too much noise. That's what is all about. The liveliness of the game, the people and the yelling.

That was what I went to last weekend. In a Bavarian bistro in Mid Valley. To be truth, I love the food there. Bacon, German sausages, fried pork fillets and my favorite, Emperor's Cake. This was my first time in a German bar. Most bars or bistro I went were those Western-styled.
What I'd seen over the last week was the Lee Chong Wei's match in the World Championships. Everyone in the bar was cheering and cheering for the only Malaysian to get into the finals. Well, he did every Malaysians that sat in front of the TV screen proud by beating his Chinese opponent, Chen Jin. However, Malaysians seem not to break the jinx of winning the World title. Never mind. It's next year that everyone is looking forward to; London 2012, the BIG ONE.

No matter what and where you are, one thing for sure, supporting Malaysians in international arena is one of the things we, as Malaysians will do. I think the more crowd support, the merrier, the higher anxiety it will be.

p/s: I'm trying my best to complete the story... The mixed feelings of love and hatred of the main character.

A Song to Represent Malaysia...

Ah Niu sang this song for quite some time back. Listening to the lyrics, make you feel very Malaysian inside you. English+Malay+Mandarin+Hokkien+Cantonese= the language of Malaysia
Worth to listen...

Cheer, it's what we share...

Yesterday my family and I watched the Badminton World Championship in a restaurant called Spaghetti Grill (I don't really remember the exact name). Although the 2 remaining pairs of men doubles crashed out in the semi, however I'd learned something while I was watching the match. Malaysians, as I noticed was really supportive towards this sport. I don't really understand why, but I can tell was this sport, beside football has the 'power' to gather us.

Malaysia is celebrating it's 52Nd year of independent end of August. Since I was young, my definition of independent is 'shouting out 'Merdeka' in Dataran Merdeka on the midnight of 31Th August every year and an ensure massive traffic in the city'. Frankly, I'll never understand Merdeka and the 1 Malaysia concept until last night's encounter...

An Indian man was sitting on the table with the 3 of us watching, cheering, and hoping that the men doubles of Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong would reach the semis. In fact the others that were there are the badminton enthusiastic too. There were few of them standing to watch and cheer. Even though, it was a disappointment our men didn't reach the finals, I managed to see that Malaysian really love the game and somehow I saw they hoped that Kien Keat-Boon Heong will do it better the next time (perhaps a gold in Olympic 3 years later?). Here, I would sincerely thank to the guy who sat in the same table with us cause he helped us to pay for the drinks we ordered!!! THANKS to wherever you are...!!!

Lastly, Merdeka is getting nearer. Wish that everyone would unite to make Malaysia a better place for our children...

Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan ke-52!
