Look! Who's Smiling....?

I just don't know...or maybe it's just my feeling. I think Dato' Nadzmi, the President of BAM and his team are now smiling, sipping a cup of Cappucino whilst at the same time talking about Dato' Lee Chong Wei victory over Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia in the badminton super series Malaysian Open. Not so much of Dato' Lee's victory but on the resignation of "one liability" to his camp, none other than the amazing Hafiz Hashim.

Hafiz Hashim had voice up his intention to leave BAM, to be on his own and pursue his career as a professional player and Dato' Nadzmi along with BAM council had accepted his resignation without imposing any conditions. A good move by BAM as if they were to terminate Hafiz contract which is due next year, surely BAM need to compensate him. By willingly resign, BAM have to pay nothing.

“This is really good news for me,” said Hafiz, who declared that he wanted out of the BAM after losing to Chen Long of China in the first round of the Malaysia Open last Wednesday. But to me, it's a good news to the nation. After waiting so many years for him to leave the national camp, the moment of truth has finally reach us. So...adios Hafiz Hashim.

Finally, after so many time trying, Dato' Lee Chong Wei finally beaten the great Lin Dan's wall in the final of the Japan Open Super series on sunday. Dato' Lee beat Lin Dan 22-20, 16-21 and 21-17.

Can somebody pinch me? I can't believe this is true. Am I dreaming? Is there any catch from Lin Dan? These are the things that really puzzled me. How he can lose to Dato' Lee. Hmm...may be this is just a Japan Open. No as prestigous as Thomas Cup or All England. Maybe he is sick....or he can say he is tired.

I am eager to know what will be his excuse. But after the long wait I missed the live telecast of the match.

Well the world number one player has beaten the rank number one player. Confused?

As long as Lin Dan from China is still alive...Dato' Lee Chong Wei will never beat this fella...agree?

Dato' was beaten again, making record of losing to this Lin Dan wider.

What's so great about Lin Dan...may be the passion, the patient...the skill, the confident, the fans support...make him so good.

Well, Dato' Lee Chong Wei...has all the ingredients...but what make him lose? We don't want the ranking...the ranking is not important...you have achieved the world number one ranking ..but your fans want you to defeat this fella...

Dato' Lee has no new ammos to use against Lin Dan...He has exhausted all ammos...but that's the job of the coaches to find new ammos, new weapons, new skills, new training and all whatever to make Dato' Lee win...(Talking about training, I think Dato' should do a little bit of weightlifting...see the muscle at Lin Dan's hands...)

Then... in the next super series...we will expect Lin Dan to win again...again...and again...

Even before start playing...peoples will say.."Gerenti (guaranteed lost)kalah punya...no need to watch the game...know already"

BAM...Coaches...do something... and I start to wonder what excuses will Dato' use or BAM use after coming back to Kuala Lumpur...maybe he's not feeling well that night..that is why he lose...
