two years back: 2011.08.11
it was the 15th of July in Chinese Lunar calendar
which it is believed that the peak of
ghost roaming around
they do.. throughout the month, in fact
our last night at Phuket
and there was a live telecast on TV
World Badminton Championship Man Final
Lin Dan vs Lee Chong Wei
today: 2013.08.13
Lin Dan (world ranking #286) vs
Lee Chong Wei (World ranking #1)
I know I got this shitty luck
who ever I support will never win the coveted award
but Lin Dan is an exception
he never fail me throughout the years
two weeks back was watching the mock-up
he was playing against a rookie
someone just popped up from the youth category
wasn’t in the best condition
kinda worried, in the first place
but of course,
he has picked up the pace
and if he has made it this far
of course he is going to win it
all or nothing
Yes!!
Keep Calm and win the trophy, Danny Boy
No!! Lees Misérables
Try harder next time!!
I even “screencaptured” the TV back then
being a bit jumpy the TV
because it’s illegal reception of the
private satellite channel from neighbouring country
p.s. the one I used to intern for
oh man
undeniably
he is getting hotter and hotter with the tan
it never occur to me
but oh my
in this photo he actually looks like Shawn Yue
and soon a style icon too, perhaps?
his wife Fang Fang is kinda cute too
always that casual and humble
she is once-upon-too-long-ago a world champion too
p.s.
I tagged some awful label to this post
# China #TV
couldn’t find anything suitable
probably should just add on a new one
#Lin Dan
Post-Match
woohoo!!!!
he did it again
5-times winner
#1
he was wearing this during the first game
I was telling Mag Mag
no it doesn’t feel right
he should be wearing his fire red
and both sides were white
then she replied this is first time she heard me
“approving” someone of wearing red
#2
he was insisting on wearing this icon tee huh
okay he took off the sweaty red shirt in celebration
then someone handed him the official track jacket
probably he didn’t feel right wearing that one
he actually asked that guy to
take off this black one on his body
and there he went wearing it
haha I found out about the shirt
front: the tattooed arm holding a racket
back: the quote “Fight Until the End of the world
without slightest hesitation”

his wife, Fang Fang was the match commenter
glad that I have chosen the channel where
the commenters actually stand on the same side
but she was as cool as a cucumber
analyzing the match
there was this funny moment
2nd game, Lee Chong Wei with one winning card
and Lin Dan was leading with 16-14
or something like that
and the commenter actually said that:
I think Lee Chong Wei has already
kinda gives up the game
Then Fang Fang replied:
yeah, and I think Lin Dan could sense his giving up
that was kinda unexpected of
before this kissing scene took place
while the screen showing Lin Dan walking towards them
the commenter was speaking on air:
I think I better make my way for him
so there was a 3 sec dead air
when this scene was showing
way to go, way to go
so much maturity from two years back
another world championship title
another Olympic medal
and a lovely wife
