Our Hero, Grandpa LCW!

I still remember the time when u got the title 'Dato'... Many people are laughing out loud.. Teasing u... sharing in Fb/twitter that u have become a grandfather.. Since then in every match, they have always been calling u names.. posting funny quotes... comparing u and Lin Dan..

So what?

U still embrace every challenge that comes, right? Still u tried ur very best.. U got ur wins and u got ur loses.. but that doesn't matter... Behind those, its the respect that u have earned.. You have proven to them their so called 'grandfather' has since the very beginning been their hero.. they may overlook this in 2008...

2009...

2010...

2011..

but not in 2012... U fought well and u finished well.. Hu can argue bout that? Are u still not good enough? NO i would say.. im not gonna compare u with Lin Dan or other athletes.. cos u proved that u are Malaysia's Dato LCW! U gave a 100% in the olympics.. from groups, to quarter, semi, then final.. I must say u have done well representing Malaysia's athletes.. This is also wat makes our athletes different from athletes of other nations.. You showed disciplined.. Ur outer appearance tells it all.. Sports councils around the world are proud of you.. You respect every player and referee.. and MOST IMPORTANTLY you respect the match! U dun fake a match just to have a higher chance to win.. u dun taunt ur opponent just to anger them or put them down.. You showed humility.. U have great determination and a strong will..  So people that scoffed at u, dun worry bout them.. cos u have proved urself... those with eyes have seen it.. those with ears have heard it.. all over the world witnessed it... and we are all proud of u!

So when u come back, u think we're all gonna be gloomy and sad and mourning at ur defeat? You think the whole Malaysia's gonna try to cheer u up?  OF COS NOT! 

No! Even though u lost! Its not just u.. its us! We lost! But that doesn't matter... Yes to us Malaysians, we are really hoping to get our 1st Olympics Gold.. we are really hoping to win the badminton men's singles.. As a matter of fact, we are dying to see it happen! Yes its important.. But in the process we realized there is something more important than that.. Its about you proving urself! Just as soon as the sad and disappointment came in, we just realized that winning or losing is not that important anymore.. U have done far greater things than that.. That is why when u come bac, we wont be sad and gloomy.. instead we will throw a party for you... because we know..

Our hero has come back home..
