Full Of Pride


I really am.

Watching our lil' Wong Mew Choo defeat former world champion and current #1 ranked woman's badminton player, at their own home was a feeling that I've not felt for so long.

The last time I cheered like crazy after a nail-biting sporting match was when Liverpool sent Chelsea out in the semifinals of the 2006 Champions League competition. I remember jumping the same way up and down when Dirk Kuyt put in the winner as I did when Mew Choo hit the winner.

She worked hard and patiently built her game. At times all hope was down as she trailed 2 - 12 in the second set and lost badly. I thought it might be one Chinese too far but I was glad she didn't agree.

Go on and make us prouder, WMC.
