have you guys watched any of the recent Asian Games that are currently hyping up at Doha?
Well, I too confess, i didn't. Until I accidently switched on to RTM1 and caught the Malaysia Badminton Men Doubles Team in action against the Indonesians. And, I never touched the remote throughout the games.
The team in specific is Koo K K and Tan B H. They were really fast and reminds me of the olden days when our Malaysia Badminton Team reigns the Thomas Cups and wateva cups you may think our Badminton may join. They were the pride and joy of our country until age taken over them and new blood joins in.

However, things may look different now. Malaysia Badminton Team has managed to grab quite a number of medals throughout this game and a quick check in the Doha 2006 Medal listing website shows that the badminton team has managed to get 3 bronze. Well, it might not be much but then, at least they get something. And I'm proud of being a Malaysian with their achievements in an international games. Lets hope they learned from their mistakes and improve themself to bring Malaysia Flag flying higher.
Anyway in badminton, there's another gold for us to grab tomorrow morning. It's the Final of Men's Doubles between Tan B H and Koo K K versus KIDO M. SETIAWAN H. from Indonesia. This is gonna be another good match to watch as both are equally powerful and fast in their paces and playing style and I trully hope wat the commentator mentioned will be correct. Our Malaysian Double will grab it back to make everyone Malaysian proud and let our National Songs played once again in a hall filled with people from different countries, various walks of life who practise different religions and cultures.
Tan B H and Koo KK has been in top form in this year Asian games performing at top notch conditions for the last 3 days, defeating various teams and climbing the match ladder in the process. Below is the summary of their path through the finals:
