Pong-bong.

I escaped AV workshop for this. *dies* If only things didn't clash. UGH. The AV room is nice. The AV room is super duper nice. Got my facts wrong. The studio with the Apple computers in is for designing. It belongs to the IT faculty. T_T

Okay, I've never known the feeling of being really thrilled or exhilarated so bad over something and for the first time in my life I actually felt it. The tension, the force, the hysteria.

I admit, I've never been an avid sports fan. I watch it occasionally on TV, I follow the news on the last page of the papers...

Karina wanted to go for the BWF thing. So she pulled me along. And tadaa~! I've been converted. LOL!

Supporting the country is one thing. Supporting the country with 9000 other people with bong bongs (or is it pong bongs? The long air tube thing you bang against each other to create sound.) in the damn stadium is another.

Eventhough things didn't end very nicely in the Proton-BWF World Championships for Malaysia, it was really obvious the team was really fighting their asses off in todays match and so I respect them and anticipate for their next world event. You know, watching them play make me feel lousy in Badminton. *rollseyes* ARGH. XD

For people who are skeptical about the Malaysian sporting spirit, you should've gone to the stadium today. It's really different from watching it at home. I have a sore throat. I have like 3cm by 3cm space on paper. A unused finals pass. Okay. If i ever went for tomorrow's game, I will kick myself. I have an FTV paper due in the end of the week.





Now, people must be wondering who is that guy who was clad in a specially designed shirt of the malaysian flag? Now, that guy is what I call Spirit.

It's Mansoor aka Tok Mo. Loads of people took pictures with him. He's like the Hang Tuah of Malaysian sports, a really big fan and he was leading the cheer all the way. The next time you see him (he will be probably heading to Korak. So look out for him if you'll be heading there for the SEA games) follow him. He leads the country!

Learned loads from this two days. It was fun joining FAMEMAS cheering on for Malaysia together. It's one experiences I absolutely absolutely will remember for the rest of my life. I really could write a full length report on this but I think I will do it some other day.

Now, what's the biggest thrill of the two days I spent at Putra Stadium?

It's not photoshopped. It's Koo Kien Keat. :)
