Congratulations to my hero, Lee Chong Wei..

Dear Chong Wei,

It's truly a night to remember, to anticipate each point you're working hard to earn, not only for you, but for the rest of 26 million Malaysians, wherever we may be on this planet.
To the world, you maybe the silver medalist of men's single badminton in Beijing, but to me (and all of us) you're our golden boy! 41 minutes of straight 2 games outplayed by Lin Dan are no measure of your determination to win for us. You're indeed our truly hero, that someone we can talk about in years to come, proudly!

Although it's disheartening to see our contingent performance in Olympic, you somewhat turn the music on, giving me reason to rummage through Olympics' webpage before starting anything every day you're in action. Every tiny details counts, and it propelled me to make sure I equipped myself with badminton schedules and results every hour. Such is my addiction, budding because of you!

I want to say thank you, thank you a zillion time, sincerely for sharing with us moments of glory, every atom from your piece of Silver with us, for bringing the whole Universe attention to Malaysia for those particular games you've played. Raising hope for a medal, and eventually getting one, is anything but ordinary course you've given us.

Though I may not be of the 200 fans that welcomed you with claps, flowers, kompangs, etc at KLIA today, from afar, I've applause for your breakthrough in the Olympics. Wishing you every best of the best on future tournaments, my hero!

Footnote(a slight detour/divergence from our focus on our hero):

Unlike our current political drifts in the country that's getting more and more ridiculous to follow(from the UMNO's Puteri being fondled on nomination day, to the oath on Holy Quran by a self-published gay, to the immense momentum of PKR unseating BN in few days, to the demonstrations by bigots and chauvinists on a certain person idea to open up a forum about religions, glitches and class wagging caused by some self-proclaimed students of higher learning institution in order to oppose somebody's mere idea on relinquishing privilege of education to other equal Malaysians, to the..wait, I suppose it's "improper" for me to say more--it's splodges all over the regions media!), and eventually anybody would want to puke on upon catching a glimpse on the headlines, taking shelter in keeping abreast Olympics Games is such a relief of being sane again. Who would ever know how to award points for fencing, for example, had it not been a sweet escape from the lame stage of collection of retarded politicians picking on each other?

On this day..

Mend a quarrel.
Search out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion, and replace it with trust.
Write a love letter.
Share some treasure.
Give a soft answer.
Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty in a word or deed.
Keep a promise.
Find the time.
Forego a grudge.
Forgive an enemy.
Listen.
Apologize if you were wrong.
Try to understand.
Flout envy.
Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else.
Appreciate, be kind, be gentle.
Laugh a little more.
Deserve confidence.
Take up arms against malice.
Decry complacency.
Express your gratitude.
Worship your God.
Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.
Speak your love.
Speak it again.
Speak it still again.
Speak it still once again.

P/S: I've gotten this from a friend who gave me a simple,nice book marker, and thought of sharing it with you. I think they're too beautiful for me to keep alone :)
