Champions .. champions ..
New Straits Times, 19 June, 2006 (Monday) - Sports - Many Congratulations to Lee Chong Wei for winning the Malaysian Open (Badminton) for a third consecutive time, joining Rashid Sidek as the only Malaysians to have won a hattrick of Malaysian Open titles.

I was actually watching the match when it went to the third set. Chong Wei was presenting Lin Dan with numerous unforced errors and when it went to the decider, I thought, hmmm ... here we go again. Then Chong Wei was trailling 4-9 and I switched to another Channel. Man .. I would love to see him catch up .. good for you.

Congrats too to Shalin Zulkifli who won her fourth title of the year when she claimed the women's ABF Tour Philippines leg (Bowling) at the Green Valley Bowling Centre in Pasig City. Before this victory, she had captured the Thailand Open, ABR Tour Thailand Leg and Kuwait Open, all in April this year.

What? ... Shalin doesn't have a coach!! Reminds me of Roger Federer who did not have a coach, and even now only has a part-time coach. Guess, it is really in the head, the intrinsic motivation factor that cannot be controlled by any 'official', or need to be ... it just requires the impetus to channel their strength in the right direction .. the rest is up to the person. I mean Chong Wei had to sort his own 'head' on the court, while facing Lin Dan at 13-20. No coach or official can help him, only him ... but Malaysia is ALL about 'officialdom' when the players need 'freedom' ... aiyaa, tak tau lah ...

Go Sheby go, perhaps we should have a My-team for every State in Malaysia and have a Malaysian My-team League. Just a thought ...
