Final year, here I come!

Salam everyone, I just wanna share a good news. I just passed my fourth year and am officially a FINAL year dental student. Alhamdulillah sangat2 this is really a BIG relieve knowing how bad my history with exams.


I'm not bragging but I'm just sharing the news, because only God knows how painful 4th year has been. There were a lot of rocky roads. It was a big transition from 3rd year to 4th year and I really had problem adapting initially. I almost gave up at every possible point but with Allah's will and prayers from, especially, my beloved Mak  and my friends, I made it.


Today I finished my last clinics for the fourth year, delivered 2 dentures to my patients. The atmosphere of the clinic was so bright eventhough the weather outside was hella gloomy. As soon as I got my charts signed off, I went around and bid goodbye to my classmates. I went in to the office to settle stuff with patients and met with Dr B, my tutor. He had this really one big smile on his face, which is realllllly rare. He congratulated me, saying a job well done and gave me a very firm yet warm handshake. Bumped into him again on the way out of the hospital and he gave a piece of advice :

Just forget everything, and enjoy your holidays fully. 

So yeah, i think Imma take his advice seriously :D


I'm just making this post to motivate my (future) final year self that I survived the turbulence from 4th year and I gotta pushhhhhhhhh through final year no matter how hard it gets. Ingat ni N woi kena bertabah bertabah bertabah!!!!!


Finally, I'm heading tomorrow and insyaAllah for the first time in the past 5 years, I'm celebrating Eid at home this year =D

I know what you did last weekend

You did everything but studying!

Winter Holiday at home - a sum up

I am too lazy to write a post nowadays I don't know why..maybe because ada twitter so all my thoughts were channeled instantly. heh..

As I've told before, this is my first winter holiday that I spent at home. It was well-planned from summer and I've saved up money to buy the ticket since last April. It was short and sweet two weeks. Mainly because my partner in crime is back from New Zealand for her holiday. I haven't seen her since Summer '09. God knows when is the next time I'm seeing her. December 2012? Or...Summer 2011? Well..we'll see.

Okay to sum up :

• The holiday is just perfect because I got to see my big family as well as my friends.
• Got to eat almost a lot of things that I've been craving.
• Watched 3 movies, Tron, Ngangkung and Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah. Am I a true Malaysian or whaatttt.
• Went to Penang for a short holiday with my girlfriends.
• Had photoshoot with my girlfriends at Taman Layang-layang, Kepong.
• Went to karaoke with my girls
• Met up with my Ultras 04
• Went to play badminton

Ultras 04 at William's

All in all it was a really really good holiday. Worth the hassle and worth the money spent. Eventhough I've been through a lot of shit before I finally reached Cork, I could still remain calm. Semua sebab my holidays is so enjoyable!

Loving home, loving life

Home is so much fun and I can't wait to be back here for good!

...............except for the slow internet speed and crazy traffic jam

I just don't feel like blogging. I'm pretty sure the mood will kick in later when I'm back at Cork. Meanwhile, sit back, relax and enjoy the holiday and the last bit of 2010 with your loved ones. You have like another 5 days to make 2010 a memorable year!

Malaysia...oh tanah airku~

Salam and Hi from a place called HOME in a country called MALAYSIA :)

I have arrived 2 days ago. Touched down Malaysia at 6.45am and Alhamdulillah my checked in luggage was with me, not stranded ke apa and all the things inside were safe and sound.

I tried to be as careful as possible as I got handful things with me but still tercicir my Immigration card in the toilet along with my passport holder. I didn't even realized it went missing until a MAS officer sent a message to me through facebook later that afternoon saying he found my passport holder with Garda card. Amazingg innit? Atas Garda Card tu there're only my full name and date of birth. Tu je...Lain semua irrelevant info but the officer still managed to get to me. Alhamdulillah sangat2. Kalau tak hilang terbang den punyo 150eu! Tapi I'm yet to get the card from KLIA sebab tak sempat dan tiada kenderaan. Oh that's the only downside of this holiday I've got no car for real. :(

The first meal I had was nasi lemak with sambal paru+kentang, sambal terung and sayur goreng. Sampai rumah, went through the baby stuff with Kak Diah, Abang and Mak. Showered and went off to Low Yat to buy stuff. Hehehehe...tak mengsia-siakan masa ok! I also had prosperity burger later that evening only to find out Mak Pah was doing makan-makan that nite! Lepastu bergerak lah ke Kajang eventho perut masih penuh to my aunty's house.

Sampai rumah Mak Pah we were served with Soto, Mi Bandung, Mihun and cake made by Mirah and co. Uuuuuu diorang dah pandai buat kek sekarang~ That nite, I found myself joining conversations with the aunties in the kitchen taking about making kuih and stuff rather than joining the kids in front of the tv. Time flies, eh? Tua dah saya ni....huhuhu...

Yesterday I tried to tune my sleeping time by dozing off both Malaysia and Ireland time. Hopefully it's working lah kan I think so far so good today is the 3rd day at home and I've been up by 6.45am. The bestfriends came to my house to pick me up later that afternoon and we went to The Curve. Wanted to watch movies at first, tapi tak jadi sebab the time is not convenient. Semua pun nak kacau waktu Maghrib.

Lepastu tried Redbox, it was ridiculously expensive...and we found a new karaoke place almost as good as Redbox called...Song box ke snowbox tah. I think it was newly opened and they had this introductory price. For 4 pax and 4 drinks plus a small bowl of snacks, we paid RM27.50. Murahhh innit? Redbox tu per head is RM52 ok. Crazy! We had dinner at Sakae Sushi before Wani sent me back home. Wuwuwu...jauh-jauh dia travel Gombak-Ampang-Shah Alam - The Curve - Shah Alam - Ampang - Gombak.

Today I'm going to visit Cik Man's newly born daughter, Fatimah at Sri Petaling. Tapi before that mahu ke Mydin dulu membeli barang-barang mahu dibawa pulang.

The point is...I can't wait to go back to this country for good. Mak masak sedap. Bila lapar boleh mengadu kat mak. Bila nak makan boleh keluar beli kat kedai. Bila sunyi boleh ajak rakan keluar sesuka hati. Gitu...tak sabar!

Kepulangan yang dinanti (ke?)

It feels unreal. The day that I've been waiting for since the past 2 months has finally arrived *bunyi trumpet*

Ok seperti biasa mari kite bercerita dulu.

This week I have started to be really lazy. I was supposed to have oral surgery yesterday but I decided to stay in bed. As simple as that. LOL teruk gile perangai ampunkan sayaaa penunggu guaaaa...

Today the lazy bug was still around. Was so mad at myself because I booked in a paeds patient for the afternoon session. Well..we don't have requirements for paeds so there's not much pressure as the other clinical session. Luckily this morning I got a text from my patient's mom saying that the kid had cold. so she couldn't come. I was sooooooooo happy yaw!

Lepastu paksa diri ke clinic. I managed to do 2 fillings which carry out 8 marks of requirement for Composite Resin. I was sooo happy because I am still lacking at that department. I'm almost done with amalgam..but now I'm pretty much ok with the composite. Still a lot more to go but at least I managed to get 25 surfaces that's a good start, yes? Ada lagi 10 to fulfill requirement but I want to do as much as I can so my final year would be easier. Amalgam tak risau sangat Alhamdulillah I only have 3 surfaces to go..and I even have a patient for that in the waiting list pun. Starting next sem I must starting to work on endodontics pula. Yatta let's do this!!!

TAPI, ada bad things happen today. As I was happily browsing stuff with my laptop I spilled yoghurt on it. Freakin yoghurt tuan puan. Yang melekit2 tu. I freaked out because for your information my laptop is pretty much my life here. I can't go a single day without her. MacBabe, she's my greatest companion. Nasibla kena a day before I go back home jadinya takla stress sgt walaupun I freaked out for a while. Cepat2 wiped the yoghurt and keringkan guna hairdryer but it didn't want to start mula2. I let it dry for an hour, took off the battery....baca Bismillah sket and it was alive again, Alhamdulillah.

Sekarang ni I'm in the middle of transferring stuff into my external harddisk just in case she decided to leave me :( Nasibla the space is big enough to store everything important. I can't afford to lose anything from here. They are too precious.I might try to clean up the keys tomorrow because some of the keys are very sticky. Balik-balik Malaysia sah-sah kena hurung semut ni. Kalau semut can remove the stickiness bagus jugak ni kalau buat semak je...I hope MacBabe can bertahan for me...I can't afford a new laptop now. Wuwuwu....

Attemp #1 to dry the laptop while transferring stuff

Attempt #2 looks more effective. Tapi my hand is freezing sebab taip sambil kipas pusing T___T

Oh well this might be my last post from Cork, for the year 2010. Hehehe...So glad I'm going back home at least I can keep my mood and spirit stabilized hopefully til the end of the sem. Ya Allah permudahkanlah perjalanan saya pulang, Aminn.....

I'm leaving tomorrow at 5pm. Hopefully no delay-delay I only have 1 hr transit in Amsterdam!!!

the restorative clinic that will be missed..

the unit that will be missed

Ciao~

Raya terAWESOME di Cork.evaaarrr!

This is officially the best celebration I've ever been sepanjang 3 tahun lebih di Cork. Suasana very homely. Ada kanak2 main2. Ada family macam2. Meriah tak terkata. Tak formal tak skema, rasa gembira saje yang ade :) How come I did not brag about this in blog yet! This is not right! This is a crime! This should not happen! Hahaha, ok, saja nak kasi orang2 diluar Malaysia dan Cork irihati. Here goes, the bragging post of how awesome our Eidul Adha Open House was. Fiiiinee orang Malaysia tak perlu irihati saya tahu...tsk.

Soooo the celebration was held on Tuesday. Tuesday, as y'all know is a weekday. But thank God that afternoon I have paeds session. In paeds, there are no requirement. So I'm not really worried about having to miss any session or anything. I called my patient the day before and told her I had to cancel the appointment. On the day itself, I braved up to my lecturer telling her I want to go for Eid celebration....and luckily she understood. Dia gelak je pastu cakap "haaaa pergilah kauuu labuuuu"

Eh tetibe sedar tak study apa malam ni. So I let the pictures do the bragging lah can or not?

Nasi minyak bersama nasi campur daging

Nasi impit bersama rendang daging

Satay terbaik!

Laksa. OMG awesome. Siap seludup bawak balik sanggup bukak kot untuk tutup laksa dari hujan lebat dan biarkan diri basah kuyup.

Acar, ayam masak merah, daging kurma. OMG terlalu awesome ok

siap ada ukiran buah2han.

the food spread

All in all, thanks Warga Malaysia Cork Ireland! And congrats for your official launch (on Tuesday) Terdiri daripada warga bukan pelajar Cork, lined up by awesome chefs/doctors/dll. Lepas ni nak takeover semua celebration pun bagus jugak! haha :P

kthxbai

Finally, a happier post

I had a blast this weekend. Full of food. Full of fun. Totally swept away all those tension and tightness be it mentally or physically. I kicked off this week pretty much lightheaded and a kinda good mood.

First off was the Open House organized by KUC. Sadly I didn't take pictures and the friends haven't uploaded the pics so no photography evidence for this blog just yet ;) The food was grand, lovely crowds, and the event went smoothly despite minor mishaps.

Later on that day we had some tension release session. Such an eventful day. Enjoyed the evening so much all thanks to the people who were there that day. You guys are simply the best. I love my small circle :P

Today my patient cancelled his appointment for tomorrow. At first I thought of giving myself a rest but after some thinking, it's just the starting of the week. I tried my luck to ring another patient and thank God she's available. I just hope my supervisors won't mind if I bring a Cons (fillings) patient for a Prosthetic (denture) session. I'd say selagi takde exam around the corner, I'll just try to maximize the amount of work can be done in a week. Sounds like a good plan, yeah?

I have also received the parcel containing the stuffs I bought back home. My maggi, kopiko, kopi 3 in 1, milo and kaya is restocked now. Alhamdulillah I'm one happy girl. Hopefully this week goes smoothly without unnecessary drama or tragedy, Amiiin..

Thank You Allah

Such a long and nervewrecking day. Alhamdulillah wa syukurillah.

I'll try hard not to mess up this year. I'll try to dodge any bad vibes and negative thoughts and promise to work harder. Oh..I will try to start saving up too. Haha..banyak sungguh promises hopefully I could keep them well!

We've just got the orientation schedule yesterday and my oh my the first day is quite packed. Not sure whether my body is ready to attend classes that start as early as 9am yet. I usually sleep after sahur until like 9-10am like that. Must start tuning the sleeping cycle la I guess.

My oh my, I'm a 4th year already. 4th freakin year! Feels like only yesterday I landed on this foreign land, trying hard to adapt to the weather and the environment. Huhu...

Anyhoo, eventhough 4 years has passed, I don't think I'll ever ever gonna be NOT homesick. In fact, the homesick gets worse as I go on. Hahaha..memang fail. Can't wait to finish my business here and be back home for good.

Welcome 4th year, and please be nice to me?

Just checking out my "second home"

I have not been updating aren't I? Huhu...I'm sorrryyyy. The thing is, I'm enjoying my short summer to the most. Meeting friends. Going places. I've been doing whatever things that I can't do while I'm in Cork.

Time flies really fast that I'm now about at the end of my holiday already. That's so sad :( But this summer is an eventful one! So I think I've nothing to be sad about apart from having to leave this happiness soon.

I'll be back on track when I'm back to being sad and stressed out I guess? hahaha..till then, I leave you with this song, telling ya I'm doin' goooooooooood :)

Having the time of my life

I've arrived in Malaysia, safe and sound, like 4 days ago?

Since then I didn't wait any longer to maximize my activities in Malaysia. I've been to :

1. MidValley to watch Lagenda Budak Setan with Ida
2. The Curve for Redbox session with Wany, Jims, Erra, Izzul, Amir
3. i-City with the same people on #2
4. Muara Ikan Bakar Port Klang with the same people no #3 :P
5. SM Sains Selangor sekolah terchentaaaaaa for SMSS 10s. Meeting some same 'ol people that I've been seeing since 5 yrs ago :P
6. Taman Tasik Permaisuri with the people at #5
7. Kompleks PKNS, SACC, Summit - my frequently visited shopping complexes with mom.

As for tomorrow, I'm off to Jakarta and Bandung for 5 days with my girls. This is gonna be full 2 weeks and it seriously tiring me out but I'm not complaining. I've been taking whatever I could take to keep me going. Afterall, I predict this is the only 2 weeks that I got to do lotsa things before people starting to get busy and I'm left all alone here :-(

My result will be out on Tuesday. Phewhhhh....I'll be in Bandung by then. Let's hope everything goes okay.....

Till then, see you when I see you again. Be safe everyone :)

Live update from Heathrow

I'm currently at Heathrow, 50 minutes to boarding time. MAS is now located at Terminal 4 and it sucks! I guess this is quite a new terminal and there's nothing much in it. I'm hungry but there's nothing much to eat. Didn't know how long will it be before they serve the food on board. Let's just hope everything goes okay. Just now from Cork to London a lil girl who sat behind me threw up and I can literally hear every single liquid that comes out from her mouth. The smell isn't pleasant as well and thank God it happened like 20 mins before landing.

Okay now. There are quite a few of KMBians here. I saw El, Annur and maybe there are more of em because I'm starting to hear Malay language all over the place already..hihihi...

Till then, approx 13 hrs to home, where my heart is :)

The day I've been waiting for

The oral went...hurmm...pretty okay yesterday. I got the external examiner and Prof A. The external examiner (Dr J) was the first to ask me about caries removal, how to restore teeth, and some other things about amalgam retention, sclerosed canals etc. Dr J was a straightforward guy. Maybe because this is not his area of expertise because he is more of a prosthetic guy (hell yeah I've got 2 prosthetic guys in my oral!)

Then came the killer subject - prosthetics. I had A LOT of "ummmmmmmm..." moments. But I was so glad it was Prof A who asked me the questions because he is such a nice guy. His face is very pleasant and eventhough you are as nervous as hell and you don't know the answer, you won't feel that bad. His tone is very soothing and he never made me doubt about my answers. In general, I suck in the prosthetic part but I don't feel quite awful because of him.

So the day that I've been longing for has finally come. I am 70% done packing and tidying up the stuffs. Huhu...nervous sungguh. I hate packing up. I hate the long hour journey in that tiny space. But I know what's waiting for me at the end of the flight is damn worth sacrificing for.

Rockin to the beat!

Hollaa kamollaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just wanna say....I feel a lot better today. My restored teeth, mannikin's head are all polished up, my radiographs are complete my wax rims have been set up for tomorrow's exam annnnnddd by 2 o'clock I'm back at home already.

Now that all this stuffs are done, I felt like a huge mountain been lifted off my shoulder. I know I've still got prosthetic exam tomorrow and Oral exam next Monday but I have to say..the summer excitement has finally kicked in. I'm all pumped out for summer now! Yeeeeehaaaaaa!! Whenever my classmates or supervisors asked when am I going back home, I would answer with a biiiiigggg smile on my face. Tadi nampak the plane up in the sky pun dah excited gila!

Okay now. Nak tido sat so I can start doing something. Otak dah pening gila ni. Toodles!

The starting of my easter holiday

This might or might not be my last post before I leave for Amsterdam. :)

For the past 2 days, our friends from Galway came down to visit. So I was kinda busy with them. I had so much fun since we get to see new faces with mixes of unique and very entertaining characters. Eventhough I'm a bit worried with my abandoned books and notes, I seriously enjoyed this 2 days very much. Pergi tengok laut dah. BBQ dah. Menyanyi dah. Memboyan pun sudah.

I'll be going to Amsterdam tomorrow at 5pm and will only be back in the morning of the 8th. I hope I'll have a safe journey and really really really hope the weather will be just nice for us. Semoga none of us will get cranky throughout the journey. hahaha...Oh anyway it'll only be me and Nabila in this trip.

Back from the trip, I wanna forget everything unpleasant that is going around. I want to make sure I came back with stronger heart. Hati kering. Hati batu. Hati segala-gala lah!

Wish me luck and safe journey :)

Saya sayang kamu-kamu

Dulu, duduk bertujuh memang meriah. Kalau turun masak sama-sama, memang riuh. Ada-ada saja benda yang nak di nom-nom kan kalau dah masuk dapur.

Saya rindu :') Sangat-sangat!

Ingat tau baby blue! Bukan calit baby blue kat lengan atau kerawang baby blue kat tengah-tengah baju ataupun 3 garis baby blue kat tengah-tengah. Mesti baby blue yang boleh nampak dari sebatu!

Of sunny Sunday

For the first time in the year 2010, I finally went to the gym today! It all started when Kak Iza texted me about eating in Banna Thai so I thought, why not kill 2 birds with a stone. So I decided to go to gym first before going for lunch. Lagipun bleh jimat tambang bas 1.60eu :P

The weather was all nice and bright. Really really pretty! I'm glad I went out today. Surprisingly the journey to gym took only about 15 minutes from my house. Waaahhh boleh la pergi selalu ni..yeah righttt..semangat awal lelebih la kan!

I went on my favourite cross-trainer. Initial target was 30 minutes but I managed to do it only up to 17minutes sajork. Could do better but I forgot to bring my towel so I don't wanna be all sweaty since I'm still going to the town for lunch later. eceyceyceyh alasaaann...hahaha..but seriously, I could do better. Correction. I SHOULD do better. Takde lah penat mana pun tadi. I did some weight-lifting exercises and wanted to go on bicycle for cooling down like I always did but sadly there were no more cycles in the female gym. So no cycling for me today :( Malas mahu ke public gym because I'm not in the mood for it

I went to get change. I did not shower sebab macam agak geli coz it's an open shower in the changing room, so agak scary. Brought with me body splash instead as a 'precaution' :P Waited a bit for Zohor and left gym for town after I prayed.

On the way to town, I stopped by at Fitzgerald Park. There were many families with lil kids in the playground area. Such an overwhelming view :') Took my own sweet time since we've promised to meet in Banna Thai at 1.30pm. Sadly the beautiful tulips aren't there yet. Maybe it's too early eh? It's okayyyy this year iA I'm gonna see a lot of beautiful tulips in Keukenhof in about 3 weeks time. Can't wait! =D

the playground

rows of wilted flowers

pokok clubbing :P

All in all it was a day well spent. Had the chance to share stories with Kak Iza and I'm so glad I did that. At least there's someone to talk to about school things and made me felt slightly better. Thanks Kak Iza for the treat as well as the advices :)

First filling treatment on a REAL patient

Today I did my first ever filling on a real patient! And...to make it even more special it was done onto my firstttt patient (back in January) It is something to be remembered okay. My first time giving local anaesthesia injection, first time drilling cavity on REAL tooth, first time doing composite restoration on a patient. Gaaaahhh..

So what did I do today in the clinics? My patient had carious lesion on her first upper left molar tooth. Two surfaces were involved, mesial (yang bersebelahan dgn gigi premolar) and occlusal (on the surface yang menghadap gigi atas)

something like this, tapi ganti kan the caries at the molar tooth (gigi sebelah yang besar sikit tu)

First off what I did was giving her local anaesthesia, to make the area I wanna work at numb. Because it is gonna be painful if I didn't do so. My oh my it was so smooth that it felt unreal. Smooth = the soft tissue in the mouth. I hardly feel any pressure on it that I wasn't sure whether I've loaded the L/A fully or not. With the help of Dr MC, it was done quite nicely without any mistake.

buccal infiltration opposite upper left molar

Next up is putting the rubber dam. It's like a mask that covers up other area that we don't need to work on, to make sure the targeted area is free of saliva, to make sure the patient didn't swallow unnecessary things, minimize infection etc etc (malas nak terang dah lols) It was quite hard to get the damn dam in because the space is tight.

this is what it looks like when a patient had rubber dam on it. Oh haritu kan, there was a fire drill training at dental school, so all of us had to evacuate the building. Unfortunately there was a patient who had to walk out the building with a rubber dam on. lols lols..he looked pretty annoyed though..because it's just a fire drill training!

After we are done with the damn dam, it's time for the funnn part Drilllinggg..you know that sound that makes people hates dentist a lot, yes, exactly. It was totally different from the training I had on plastic (mannikin's head) tooth. However I think it is in a way slightly easier because we know the extent of the carious lesion. Kalau during training we had to imagine it and we don't know when to stop. But on real tooth, the caries will make your tooth brown-ish and soft. Carious removal is done on the enamel-dentine junction - that's the crucial part because that is where the carious lesion starts. Because the carious lesion is at mesial-occlusal, we had to break off the mesial wall of the tooth and it started to bleed profusely. *peluh peluh cuak*

I was glad Dr MC came to rescue me whenever I'm at loss. Actually at first, she didn't quite like the idea of me doing this as my first filling treatment because she wanted me to start off with something simpler, say occlusal caries only (mesial-occlusal caries is considered two surfaces). However, because Dr EA (our course coordinator) had somehow pushed us around and kinda warned us about the requirements, Dr MC finally gave in and allowed me to proceed. We had to stop the bleeding and finally moved on to composite restoration. I was quite nervous because a micro leakage of the restoration will lead to caries recurring at the area so I was being extra careful with that.

Dr MC helped me to finish off the restoration by restoring the contact point of the tooth and I gave the finishing touch by polishing the newly restored (filled) tooth. She praised us for a job well done and I was so happy everything went smoothly. I was so relieved that I was skipping back home with a big smile on my face.

I think, I am somehow beginning to get my motivation back. I'm enjoying my clinical session and my lab work has so far didn't disappoint me. I just need to push a lil bit harder on my papers so I could move on and finish my studies on the dot. Ya Allah, give me strength to go through all of this, please make easy and do not make difficult

All England 2010 - The Finals

We left Aunty Ainol's house (a friend of friend's aunty - gila jauh connection >.<) at about 12++ and took cab straightaway to the NIA. Managed to buy 3 tickets for Aunty and her family from the "ulat tiket" outside the stadium for £30 - £3 cheaper compared to the price sold in the stadium. Took our seat, about the same spot as yesterday. Quite unstrategic because we were right behind the officials and were at most furthest part of the stadium so there's no way any of the player could come near us. So sad liao!

The men single match was scheduled at the 3rd match but we stayed from the beginning. The match was started by the mixed doubles which was won by China. The Indonesian team gave a good fight but they made quite a lot of mistakes, I must say. The second game was women single which was won by Tina Rasmussen from Denmark. She could have won the game easily without having to drag it until the 3rd game but she made a lot of mistakes especially in not getting the ball because she thinks it's out already. She did it not once, not twice but A LOT of time. Never learned from the lesson!

before the game started. had to capture the pictures curik2 coz no photography were allowed!

Soon after the prize giving ceremony for women single, the atmosphere of the stadium was heated even more than before. Almost every blocks at the stadium will be occupied by Malaysian supporters. The moment the judges and linesmen came in we've all stood up already. When Lee Chong Wei stepped in, crowds were cheering his name, loudly. Omo..it's a very sweet, patriotic moment I must say :') I was so proud and happy I was there, seriously!

So the match started and eventhough LCW started quite slow, the cheers from the crowd never stopped. There would be one guy screaming loud enough across the stadium to the word "MALAYSIAAAA" and the rest of the stadium will reply "BOLEHHHHH" I almost teared out because it was such a beautiful moment. Wahhh overdramatic much? Kekeke..There were at times, a group of orang putihs will be cheering for Kenichi Tago with their orang putihs accent - "TAY-GO!" kekeke...But of course there were no competition at all for Malaysian supporters. We won the stadium big time. I bet it'll be a different story if we were playing against China :)

Kenichi Tago is a player with a lot of potentials! He's quick. He's fast. He's always on his guard and of course, his determination is very high. The whole stadium is cheering for LCW and yet he could give LCW and us a lot of nervewrecking moments when he led by 4-5 points during the game. I think, given a lot of experience and training, he would be World's no 1 in no time! However LCW is of course someone who is not easily beaten by anybody. He got superb skills and he got up on his feet quickly whenever he fell.

The winning point is quite confusing yet the moment we saw LCW knelt down on the court we knew that was it. I know I heard there were problem with the linesmen decision but the game was done already. Too bad for him, he could have won this in better way but what's done is done eyh? He deserved the winning, that's all we know :) The atmosphere of stadium were even hotter than the beginning. We jumped we shouted and we were very proud to witness this moment. His first All England winning at the 100th All England tournament. If only I could be there when Hafiz Hashim won this title back at 2003 - that would be sweeter, aite?

he went around the stadium and some lucky fans get to shake hand with him and get his autograph

Dato Misbun - the proud coach :')

the cameraman responsibled for capturing the fans'

on his way out from the court

After the prize giving ceremony we waited outside the stadium with hope we could meet LCW. There were a lot of Malaysians too. We met the RTM crew again and were recorded again and again :P Hahaha..We even went down to the back entrance where we thought LCW might come out from it but after about half an hour waiting, we gave up because there were no sight of him at all. Tapi ada la jumpa a few other players like this China player - eh eh cutenye dia tuuu~

the cute China player :P

the RTM crew and the over excited fans behind him -__-"

All in all, this was a journey well spent and worth alllll the hassle. I hope I could make it to next year's All England but the chance is pretty slim because of the exams etc andddd I really hope I could make it to the Olympics in 2012. Wah wah wah...perancangan tak beringat :P Apapapun congratulations to Dato LCW and Dato Misbun Sidek and the team, as well as to whole Malaysian supporters (wah wah nak kredit jugak tuuu :P) for making this winning possible. Malaysia Boleh!

:')
