Merdeka, merdeka, merdeka!!!

Happy 51st National Day to my country, Malaysia!!!Merdeka, merdeka, merdeka!!!

Today, I just want to post this message in my blog to wish happy birthday to the country I live. Although I grew up in Brunei instead of Malaysia, bur I am still a Malaysian citizen. That is why I decided to come to KL to take my degree after my form 6 study in Brunei. I have stayed in KL for more than 3 years and I am quite used to the life here.

I hope that all the citizens from the 3 main races (chinese, malay and indian) and other ethnic groups could live in harmony and respect each other in this country. I also hope that the government could be more effective in implementing their policies in the benefits of the citizens. In addition, I hope that the policitcal situations will be better soon and be stable in order attract more investments from foreign countries.

Yesterday, I went to attend UTAR convocation to meet with my good friends at Wisma MCA without forgeting to take alot of photos with my friends. Then, I went to meet my university's classmates to celebrate Kong Soon's birthday at Yuen Steamboat restaurant at Sunway. some of my classmates came to visit us from Singapore. Hence, it was like a class gathering for us. At the end, we ended up to have a drink at Sunway's club.

The end of Beijing Olympic...

Yesterday closing ceromony marked the end of the 16 days Beijing Olympic 2008 which was organized successfully. It is considered to be the best Olympic game so far. I would like to congratualate the organizers for their hard work and efforts. Of course, wont forget the volunteers, athletes, audience and chinese population for their support. Without them, I don't think this game could be well organized.

I also would like to congratualate those athletes who won medals during this Olympic game. I know that you all have trained and prepared very hard before the game. Anyway, for those who failed to win, don't give up and try again 4 years later in London!!!

Nice fireworks!!!
Giant ribbons float to the ground as thousands of performers and athletes gather around the memory tower

Paralympic will be held on 6 September 2008 in Beijing. To all the Paralympic athletes, do your best and enjoy your game. Winning may be important but the spirit of taking part can be more important!!! Good luck...

Win vs lose, Pass vs fail...

Yesterday, Lee Chong Wei was beaten easily by Lin Dan. It was one of the worst final matches I ever watched in important games including the Olympic. Of course, I was a bit disappointed as he just miss a golden opportunity to win the first gold medal for Malaysia. But, every game will inevitably have a winner and loser. Loser doesnt mean you will always be loser. Losing an important game could be helpful and meaningful for a player to work harder in the future. We should also admit that Lin Dan was so powerful and fast yesterday, leaving no chance for Chong Wei amid the support by thousand of chinese fans.

There are rumours saying that badminton game might be cancelled in the next Olympic Games in London. The reason given is that the game is always dominated by Asian players. That is just so unfair if that is the reason for cancelling the game. What about other games such as tennis which is always dominated by western players? I just hope that badminton will remain as one of the 28 sport events in the Olympic Game. I always like to watch badinton match.

Today also marked another important day for some as ACCA results was announced worldwide. For all my friends who pass, congrats and continue your hard and smart work for other papers. For those who unfortunately failed the paper/s, don't give, there will be always another chance to try again. For ACCA papers, I think we need to be master in application rather than just memorising. Practice makes perfect as well. That's just my opinion although I havent encountered ACCA exam before (Going to take soon in December). Good luck and all the best.

It's time to work again. I have extra ACCA class this weekend and next week, I will have three days technical training. I just have to try my best to finish my audit works as soon as possible. Gambade to myself and all my colleagues...

Lee Chong Wei...Malaysia's last hope...

Just now, Lee Chong Wei had beaten Lee Hyun Ill, a Korean player in the semi final clash of the men single. This means that Malaysia has secured at least a silver medal. One more step for the Malaysia's first ever Olympic gold medal. The final will be a great match between Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei in the evening of this Sunday.

I could not watch the semi final clash as we were celebrating Marcus and Justine birthday with my audit team members at "Hakka Cun" located at Seri Kembangan. I hope that I will be able to watch at least the final match after my part time acca class.

Chong Wei, I believe you can do it. Prove to us your best and ability to win the gold medal!!! Good luck...

Grand opening ceromony for Beijing Olympic 2008

Yesterday marked a historic moment for China as the Beijing Olympic 2008 has been officially opened. After 7 years of preparation, at last the game started yesterday until 24 August 2008. 91,000 spectators witnessed the opening ceromony in the Bird's nest Stadium whereas more than 4 billion people around the world watched this spectacular ceromony through tv. We chinese should also be proud of this moment. It was also the costliest in the history of Olympic, with 30,000 fireworks during a performance.

The most important part of the opening ceromony was the lighting of Olympic flame at the Cauldron. Li Ning, a former gymnastics star lift the Olympic flame to the air and "running" one round of the stadium passing the whole world.



"One World One Dream"...Good luck. To all the sportsmen/women, try your very best to achieve your goal. Please be a fair player as well. Hope that this event will be held peacefully. I also wish that Malaysia will be able to win the long awaited first gold medal in the Olympic game.
