That night, when Olympics is going on in London. Almost All Malaysians are watching Dato Lee Chong Wei playing badminton in the Olympic Badminton Finals. There's no picture nor proof needed to show, because literally every mamak stall which has a big TV are filled with people and some of my friends cannot even find seats for their dinner!
I am not really a badminton fan, but I watched Dato Lee played for all the badminton finals which can be seen on TV1 or TV2. Had been watching it with my dad since I'm young, but I did not really cheer for him when he is playing, UNTIL THIS DAY! I saw in the newspaper saying that this might be this last Olympic games, and me and my friends decided to cheered for him like mad!
After he won his first match, I was pretty excited thinking that there will be free ice-cream, free meal at Kayu and a public holiday for everyone! My friend and I took those empty 1.5L bottle and start whacking and cheering for him!
At the same time, I heard my friend saying that she said a whole condo of people are jumping and shouting when Dato won the first round! How wonderful is that. :)

After he lost the second match, we started to get nervous and we shouted even louder for him! hoping that our voice will reach him.However, he lost in the end, and he cried knee-ing down at the floor. I had never shouted like this sincerely for someone and I was really sad when he lost. And I start seeing people post status to comfort him. I was so sad but relieved at the same time, because I kinda noticed He brought our people together as one.

After reading his news and looking into his videos, I knew that he went on the court playing with leg injuries, and he has to eat pain killers everytime before he plays. He did not complain to anyone about the pain and he still gave his best shot in every match. He knew that he have to withstand those pain and keep on playing, just to make our nation proud.

I can understand why he cries, the country placed such a big investment and gave a lot of support to him hoping that he will get Malaysian's First Olympic Gold Medal. However, I do not think he should cry and apologize because he already inspired and united people even without the Gold Medal. He really did a great job and He had inspired a lot of people just like what this Olympic's theme is all about
--- "Inspire a Generation"
I like these videos which are made by the DLCW fans and this is another good reason for our hero to be positive ad work harder for the coming competitions. :)
I reflect upon myself when I see how a man takes all the stress just on him,
All my stresses are like a stone in the sea compared to his, but yet I complained about all the little things in my life. I felt embarrassed and I will be independent in managing my stress and the one who listens to people complaining rather than become a person who complained a lot about little issue.

All in all, he had inspired and united us Malaysians, and no one would deserve more to get the title of
"Our Nation Hero", but Dato Lee Chong Wei.
