Yet again..

In the beginning , I was as how any Malaysian hoping that we can break the Great Wall. When Chong Wei won his game against Lin Dan ; I was ecstatic ! Lin Dan was not his usual self ; maybe affected by things at home but WHO CARES ! We got the crucial singles point !
Keng Kiat and Boon Heong took the stage ; we hoped but they dissapointed us and the whole nation when frustrated. Choon Han staged a fight but he was no match for Bao Chun Lai. Fairuz and Zakry was next ; we were ceptical but they played their hearts out to level the score to 2 -2. It was something that maybe none of us or the coaches expected ; but they performed well and what was more important was they played all their might to win the game. That was simply Malaysia..
Hafiz became the decider... hmmmmm... We were hoping for a miracle and his current form was promising but it was pure dissapointment watching him throwing the game away. His effort was invisible and he was simply outplayed and trashed.. and all the hopes of Malaysia went down with him.. He was never expected to win but of course we still hoped. Unfortunately , he was as how his elder brother was ; crumbled under pressure.
And the Thomas Cup again.. was out of reach.. so close yet so far...

p/s I still remember 17th of May 1992.. It was sweet to win the honours and I witnessed it.. 17 May..
