BIGGEST GIFT OF THE DAY

Have you ever thought that when you grow up you want to be like this and like that back when we were kids? A while ago, I remembered that I want to become a pilot one day because I idolized my dad. And then as we grow up, we realized that what we wanted when we were kids will not always end up in the end. I want to be a pilot back then but now I want to be a chef but it ended up as an accountancy student then shifted to marketing. It’s rough I know but the fact that what we are right now is important than looking back at the past.

When I was getting older, I wanted to be a badminton player and I did. But thing is that I broke my left arm so I trained my right arm so that I can still play.

While I was looking for updates about what is happening in the world of badminton, I saw this article http://www.bwfbadminton.org/news_item.aspx?id=67568. I was surprised because it was actually Lee Chong Wei’s birthday! I’m so happy for him because he is one of my idols and he even got the Championship in Denmark Open. That’s really good news.  I want to greet him Happy Birthday in personal but that’s way too impossible.

According to the article, Lee was given a hard fight by Du Pengyu. The Chinese world No. 9 fought every inch of the way, and kept the pressure on the world No. 1 from the first point. Lee found himself a game adrift, but he regained control of the second in characteristic style – smashing from the deep and quickly moving up to cut off returns. The game was won with relative ease, and Lee must have expected Pengyu to fold quickly in the third.

I really don’t know who Du Pengyu is but after reading about this I was amazed because he fought hard against the number 1 player Lee Chong Wei. He didn’t give Lee Chong Wei the medal that easily.

“It was a tough match, and I feel very tired,” said Lee. “Today’s my birthday, so I’m happy I won. I did not rest after the Olympics, but I managed to find the strength within me to win the title.”

Now that’s a champion in heart and in soul.
