Bravo ! Spectacular Beijing Olympics opening ceremony ! 整个世界的确都被这开幕式给震撼到了!


张艺谋的开幕式刚一开始,一下子就把老外的眼睛给看傻了。就感觉那些西方老记们的手下的键盘,一个劲地往外蹦着单词,什么“恢弘”,“壮观”,“大气”等,几乎全是最棒的形容词。老外的眼球看来这下子,可被张艺谋给赚个够。而当开幕式刚刚结束,西方各大电视媒体,也都基本上以上述那几个形容词为主要用语,进行近乎节日气氛般的报道。

^V^

Yes Philip ! excellent performance esp d drums count down , giant foot prints approaching brid nest stadium n d formation of chinese characters !

D little girl in red is so pretty n adorable ^V^

I am very impressed with d way Li Ning lights d cauldron of Beijing Olympic Games ! excellent ! so creative !

Fireworks show..well ..not bad though is not up to my expectation ( ha ha I sound like an expert liaoooo )

4 me, I think d chinese opera performance is abit below expectaion !

2 det , one sam one gang ? ha ha..dont make me shame lah... i am only a small fly .. u must be kidding liaoooo

2 Lum, proud to be chinese ? absolutely yes ! told u guys oledi... during Han n Tang dynasty, 2/3 of d world GDP was contributed by China, even d mighty US cant even get close to it !

7 wonders of d world, 2 contributed by Chinese ^V^

What ever d west can do, d east ( esp china man ) can do also !

Though we r still lacking behind as compared to western countries , but with d hardwork n intelligence of d chinese , catching up or even overtake d west is only a matter of time.

2 those Bananas who look down to their culture , remember this >>

Western moon is NOT d brightest !

Bravo! ONE WORLD ONE DREAM ^V^

奥运会开幕式结束之后,总导演张艺谋对各大亮点进行了一一解密:


击缶倒计时

在形式和内容上比较有创意的东西,是我比较满意的。我觉得我们表演总的品质感觉很现代,很时尚,至少你在中国历次的晚会上没有看到过,一种现代感,即便我们表现的是古老的传统,古老的历史。

我觉得我们打击乐的倒计时很独特,因为我们看了所有冬运会、夏运会的倒计时,时间很短,基本上都是采用播放短片,像广告一样,再配合焰火。我们也想采用,但希望创新,我们将击缶的表演往前移。把它装上光的东西,表演三分钟倒计时,天外来光激活日晷,反射下来传递一种光阴的概念。


烟花脚印

在开幕式中,以焰火打出204个大脚印沿北京城中轴线一步步迈向“鸟巢”是最大的亮点。204个大脚印,象征着参加北京奥运会的204个国家和地区的运动员。

随着2007年7月份制作工作的展开,这个数字一减再减,并逐渐倾向于“29”这个数字。29个“焰火大脚印”象征着29届奥运会——现代奥林匹克盛会迈着巨人的“脚步”一步步来到北京,走进鸟巢,既在时间上延续了奥运会的历史,表达了中国人民对奥运会的百年期盼,又使得东方与西方,中国与世界通过29个脚印紧紧连接在一起.


画图纸张

演员画图的纸是航空材料,是两个材料中间要加一些材料的,这个纸因为原来的体积比较大,所以后来减小了。纸只有两张,一张是训练的,训练了大概一个多月,永远都是它,30号、4号、5号的包括带观众彩排都是那个旧纸,这个新纸都舍不得用,因为一画就擦不掉了。


活字印刷术

在开幕式演出“文字”一章中,表现活字印刷术的字模神奇地变换着图案的情景令人过目难忘。897块字模由897个演员操控,他们要将字模道具无数次升降以组合成不同的图案,字模的道具也令编导和制作团队的成员伤透了脑筋。在设计图案变换时,编导们发现,无论呈现一朵云彩,还是一只飞鸟都无法实现,因为字模都是方形的,无法组合成一个线条柔和的图案。


奥运会主题歌

决定她唱主题歌差不多也就是最近20多天的决定,20多天以前还不是。因为这个主题歌叫《我和你》,我们就希望站在这个漂亮的地球上面是一个中国人和一个外国人,一男、一女,中国歌手我们确定了刘欢之后就需要一个女歌手,尤其是我们的音乐总监陈其钢认为她很适合。她在中国也开过演唱会,中国观众很熟悉她。更重要的是她的歌声、她的形象都符合这次主题歌的要求。我们也迅速得到来她的反馈。

她第一时间反馈,而且马上扔下所有的工作立即来北京。我们告诉她你要上差不多8层楼高的装置,而且给她寄了照片,结果她来了之后,第二天、第三天就上去试,很投入、很努力,马上就开始唱这个歌,一切都做的很完美,所以也很感谢她参加了北京奥运会开幕式的主题歌演唱。


主火炬手选拔

首先他不是现役运动员,因为现役运动员要把主要的精力投入到奥运会比赛中,我们这个训练需要很长时间,而且需要付出体力,也许一不小心还会受点小伤,这样现役运动员放弃,那就要选刚刚退役的,还要考虑到退役前的效果,我们想最好的就是体操,因为需要有技能。体操、跳水、艺术体操、花样游泳等等都有可能,但是首选体操,因为技术比较好,另外个儿也不是很大,这样我们把我们的要求跟体育总局报告,还有一点是特别有名的奥运冠军。


凌空点火

空中旋转对李宁的负重克服力是很困难的,他始终说我的手坚持不了拿这么长时间的火炬,我们曾经想请假肢厂做一个假肢,后来说不行,最后我们实际上有一根威亚,协助他,这些都是观众看不见的,都是方方面面大家共同努力的。

Well...to those who still remember Athens 2004 and also Sydney 2000, I would say the fireworks for China 2008 was not as good as I expected...Everything was marvelous and splendid except for the fireworks, which wasn't that impressive...I mean, I was expecting some really mega surprise, waiting to be blown away...and if you realized, the final fireworks after the torching lighting ceremony, only lasted around 4mins...quite short I would say...

Indeed the opening ceremoney is shocking!! What I can say is I am proud to be a chinese...

Felix Ooi said...

Wah.....Sam I am a banana leh. Cant read or speak Mandarin. Very proud to be a Chinese while watching the opening ceremony.

http://www.cctvolympics.com/
Its all in chinese sei lah.

Benjamin said...

Sam, I am not banana man ler ... I think my chinese is better than you ... haha ... I was from chinese secondary school, it just I went oversea for my higher education but didn't mean that make me whiter like Mat Salleh .... ^_^

Still feeling proud to be a chinese ...

Samgoss said...

^V^

Ha ha Felix, being a banana got nothing wrong n not a shame at all, i am refering to those bananas who looks down to their calture n race like joker Darlie !not u lehhh ^V^

It is VERY shameful if u r NOT banana but still u looks down yr calture n race !

Same goes to other races also, dont looks down to yr calture , every race has its own beauty ^V^

U can see lots of " mat salleh palsu " around us, they thought they r one class above others bcos they r very westernized ^V^ha ha

FYI, no matter how westernized u r , u cant change yr skin color n features ! mat salleh will still take u as alien !

Take a look at Datuk Michelle Yeoh in celebrity world , she is damn westernized ,but still she needs to go back to her motherland to achieve her dream !

Unknown said...

Lol...im half banana...but still very proud to be Chinese1!!!!!! Hehe... :-D

Aniway, the opening ceremony was really great!!!! Yeah, Li Ning doin' air walk really cool & gaya...nice 1...

hwh1 said...

All that I can say - the opening ceremony is the best and I am very proud China has made it! Kudos to them.

Anonymous said...

I'm banana too...but will be trying to learn mandarin and try to be less banana....anyway always proud of my roots and culture.

Anyway, how we grew up is also due to circumstance of time....our parents then believed that it is important to be educated in English to have a good future and now I think most Chinese parents including those who are bananas are sending their kids for Chinese education.....its always changing due to time and circumstances.

But whatever education backgournd, I think it is always important to be humble and always remember your roots and culture...

BTW, Sam, can you include me in your mailing list. Thanks....

Benjamin said...

When I was watching gymnastic yesterday, I realised that those china and US sportswomen are extremely patriot. I asked myself why I never feel patriot to this boleh land before, could be never in future. The unfair treatment in this country has taken away my sense of belonging. Wondering is there any ppl out there feel feel the same as me?

118 said...

Bravo C H Wong ! Seems like M'sian players r performing well so far. Ya, pressure really kill d good players. Bao C L also had a tough game with someone never heard of fr Guatamala!
So enjoy watching ya $ifu, more exciting matches 2 come 2molo!

TL : I am proud to be a Malaysian

TL : I am proud to be born in Boleh_Land

TL : I am proud to have a PM In-Waiting whom romantically linked
(is totally unfounded rumours, unfounded fitnah, unfounded slander )to glamorous female artist and sexually linked to bomb blast Mongolian model ( again, all these is totally unfounded fitnah to smear my PM In-Waiting, please do ignore and do not trust. Once a man dare to sumpah under the BIBLE or DHARMMA SUTRA , he is consider Mr CLEAN )

TL : I am proud that our country leader is using the countries resources and manpower in hunting for an 60 years old man with spinal cord injuries whom they dubbed as butt f***ing rapist rather than building the economy back after the March 8 Tsunami

TL : I am proud to be a Chinese, a truly MALAYSIAN CHINESE !!!

TL : I am proud that Shashi Kapoor from BOLLYWOOD and Steven Spielberg from HOLLYWOOD is considering setting up a production house in Putrajaya to shoot the film with title

118 said...

Ya Ben, me too. u know y, coz tis country practices quota system. In fact i hv strong feeling y M'sia can't practice meritrocacy like Badminton Association of M'sia does ? Many yrs ago when Rasif brothers dominate d badminton field, most M'sian r their loyal fans, now Lee C W takes over, all M'sian fr different races alsol support him. So we should support n tresure d best regardless of d race. c how well d relationship between Lee C W n Misbun, Lee chooses Misbun as his coach instead of Wong T M coz Misbun is simply just a better coach. I feel so touching each time when Lee C W rush 2 Misbun n gives him a hug 2 show his gratitude n respect under his guidance b 4 shaking hand v his oppenent after a victory especially in crutial tournaments.
So, we will definately love tis country if there is mutual respect n always treasure d best.
U will only show ur patriotism when u r treated fairly n equally.
$ifu is correct, d country has done nothing wrong, but d leader does. So, imagine if BAM also practicing d Quota system in selecting players, will there b player like Lee C W n Chief coach like Tan Kim Hock ?

fangsiah ‎我 为 人人 @ 人人 为 我 said...

TL : DID LEE CHONG WEI AND MISBUN ATTENDED THE NS ( NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAMME ) CAMP DURING THEY HEYDAYS ?

TL : WHY 2 DIFF PEOPLE WITH DIFF COLOR AND RACES CAN
' ASSIMILATED ' WITHOUT BOUNDARY AND WITH DUAL RESPECT AND CARING ?

TL : CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT ON HOW TO BE ROYAL AND DIE HARD FOR THEIR COUNTRY. IF A PROPER EDUCATION BEING LAY OUT IN MALAYSIA TO TEACH THE YOUNG ONES MORAL EDUCATION SERIOUSLY, WE DO NOT NEED NS CAMP AT ALL...WHICH CAUSE DOZEN OF DEAD YOUNG ONES.

TL : MY WISH FOR 16TH SEPTEMBER IS - KICK OUT THE NS PROGRAM AND KICK ALL THOSE ASSHOLE !

TL : I CELEBRATED HARI RAYA, DEEPAVALI WITH ALL OTHER RACES. I SLEPT IN MY MAMAK GANG FRIEND HOUSE WITHOUT PROBLEM. I EAT WITH MY HAND ALONG MY OTHER MUSLIM BROTHERS WITHOUT SHY OR SHAME. DID TL ATTENDED NS CAMP TOO ? WHY LEE LAM THYE QUIT HIS JOB AS CEO OF NS CAMP ? WHY ? I THOT HE LOVE THE PROGRAM AND HAVE SENTIMENTAL VALUE TOWARDS THE NATION BUILDING PROGRAMME ? WHY ? NS - BULL SHIT !!! IS A WAY FOR CRONIES TO MAKE BUNDLE OF $$$$ OUT OF GOVERNMENT ALLOCATION FOR NS CAMP !

JUST CHECK WITH SOME OF YOUR RELATIVES WHOSE CHILDREN ATTENDED THE CAMP - DO THEY FEEL PATRIOTIC AFTER ATTENDING THE NS CAMP ? LICK MY ASS !

Read what this banana seng talked about chinese ed for kids >>

12 Aug 08, 15:33
Seng: Hmmnn ... I look at it a bit differently ... to me, China will become a bigger player in the global in the next 5, 10, 20 years time ... I'm seeing a trend towards more people wanting to study Chinese for at least business reasons ... so, the concern about subjects being reduced to just 1 is not high in my list of concerns. The government is not that stupid ...

tk: chinese school goes the other extreme

12 Aug 08, 15:42
tk: newbie.. those teachers dun really care whether students do homework or not lar



What !!!??? it is bcos of biz reasons n china getting stronger then only chinese need to send their kids to chinese school ???

OMG ! banana seng ! dont u think u need to know yr mother tongue n culture well even without d above reason ??

r u saying if there is no value in chinese language , there is no need for chinese to study their mother tongue ?come on seng ! dont u feel shame by saying all these !??

I feel very sorry for yr ancestor ^V^

ees said...

men's double top contender LeeYongDae/ChunJaeSung also lost out to the Danish pair... surprise or not? I personally feel this is not surprise, Men's double are too competitive already.

There are many GOLD medal potential pair out there: CY/FHF, CTF/LWW, Markis&partner,JapanesePair,KKK/TBH and the Danish...all are very keng!

For those who don't have ASTRO, you may just get the badminton live score from the Beijing olmpic offical page lah. It updates every 30seconds.

ees said...

UnkerSeng talk BIG again, his perspective in mother tongue is too shallow. From his conversation, you know he focus on $$ above everything else. And language is his tool to make $$, but not about appreciating the root and history and knowledge gaining.

UnkerSeng acts highclass and talks high class, but he is not into his mother tongue.

Samgoss said...

2 ees , presicely ! language is banana seng's tool to make money ?? OMG ! which one he made ? gpacket @ 4.50 or oskv1 @ 2.80 ? parkson @ 8.00 ? which one ?? tool ?? my foot ! language is not d key success , look at Russian, korean , frence n Japanese , their english r much poorer than us ! language is tool of success ? my foot !

"Eat brain or brain play " ! that make d difference btw man n kid !

2 those whose want to know d latest update of badminton, visit this >>

If koo/ tan can overcome d Japanese today , chance for them to reach d final is quite high cos from d past track records , Koo/Tan has d edge over d indos n chinese 2nd double .

Lee Joo Da's exit is definitely a good news to Malaysia pair ^V^

***********************************

Obviously he is out-dated, At least 4-5 years ago some parents who were english-educated whom i met in chinese school had already saying the reasons for sending their children to chinese school was due to the good future of the ever-growing china economy,they hope their children equipped with multi-lingual skill, will benefit from it. But this reason aside, my belief is, that being a chinese decendent, one should at least know their mother tongue, root and culture. Can you imagine when you tell a mat salleh this : "Er, i am a chinese but sorry la i don't speak the language..hehe". Very malu.

When i watched from the china TV talk shows, the westerners, the africans and russians can converse so well in Mandarin (much better and fluent than many chinese including myself), I feel really really embarassed myself. I would say i am only a half-past-six compared to these foreigners.

MR said...

Bro Ben,

Americans are indeed very patriotic, look at their current political scenario. Would the blacks whom came into America as slaves, EVER dreamed that one of their own would be leading the country some day? & Barack is thinking of getting an American Indian as his running mate. Equal opportunity at it's very best. Why wouldnt any american be proud of their civil liberties & guaranteed freedom?

Do you think malaysia would welcome a chinese PM? Indian DPM?

Sifoo.. how come no more "shocker news" from you???

Below is the subtracts from Malaysiakini.



雪州大臣卡立依布拉欣的一句 "玛拉工艺大学日后可能开放10%学额给非土著"引起轩然大波,约400名玛拉学生今早身穿黑衣,拉队游行至沙亚南的雪州政府大厦示威,并呈交一份反对备忘录,要求卡立收回言论和公开道歉。



高教部长指卡立侮辱马来人



另一方面,《马来西亚前锋报》在封面刊登高教部长莫哈末卡立(右图)的强烈谈话,标题为"卡立侮辱玛拉工艺大学,马来人"。



莫哈末卡立指出,卡立依布拉欣所提出的纯粹是一项旨在争取非马来人支持的民粹建议,同时更侮辱了马来土著与玛拉工艺大学。



"他谈及竞争与素质,难道目前玛拉工艺大学学生之间的竞争不够激烈?难道马来人之间不能互相竞争,必须加入华人才能竞争?"



"我也不相信只是因为玛拉工艺大学只有马来与土著学生,就会造成社会的分裂。"



他保证,只要自己仍担任高教部长,玛拉工艺大学就会维持现状。他说,马来人与土著仍无法与其他种族竞争,"开放玛拉工艺大学将拖慢重组社会的过程,无法平衡土著与非土著之间的差距,此举无法解决问题"。



What is your comment after these? Higher education Minister accusing Khalid is humiliating Malays … what the fxxk again!! Look at the statement from this uneducated higher education minister: "马来人与土著仍无法与其他种族竞争", by saying that is rather insulting Malays in reality. I knows lots of educated Malays friends who are as capable as any non bumi on the road. I don't understand why are these Ministers/MP still insisting to have this unfair quota? I believe to a very large extent is to protect their very own interest.



To me, it is not the education making Malays less competitive to other races but is their "mentality" made them losers. I had a bumi CFO, who told me in bahasa: "apasal buat sendiri susah?" imagine this is the words coming out from the mouth of a top gun of a company. I agree with Sam too, it is the leader to be blamed not the country. Patriotic to this boleh land? My ass.

fangsiah ‎我 为 人人 @ 人人 为 我 said...

TL : Guys...do you know my background and my father background ?

My father and mother is purely Chinese educated folks...and once I asked them why all in the whole they send me to Malay medium school and not Chinese school.
They did not tell me the reason but from what i gather after several attempt talking to them indirectly, they told me that they worried that in future ( back 30-40 years ago ), Malaysia will become MELAYU state and if we do not know how to speak and write MELAYU....we will then having problem cari makan.

TL : Proudly to say that I am slightly better than SAM father. Beside my Chinese name, I know how to write from 1 - 10...( But sometime wrong too...hehehe )

TL : I am proud to tell all those BANANA MAN.....TL have Q infront of Chinese School 10 years back in 1998 to enrol my elder daughter in a Chinese School from 6.30pm to next day 8.00 morning !!!!!!

TL : Being a BANANA MAN myself is enough...but my generation in future must be able to read and write Chinese.....truly like a Chinese...and truly a MALAYSIAN Chinese !!!!

TL : lick your own butt for being a BANANA MAN.....u deserve for being ignorance !!!!

Samgoss said...

Tell u guys more about my background , my father is a 100% banana man , d only chinese words he knows is his name , that's all !

I asked him y u send me to chinese school ? he told me >>>

There was once a mat salleh from Canada seeking a road direction from him , that canadian spoke to him in mandarin , n my father replied to him in english, know what d canadian said ?

He said " arent u chinese ? why should u replied in english , dont u know yr mother tongue ??

That is why he send me to chinese school ^V^ he told me , we must not forget our root n culture , no matter how u change yr hair color , whitening yr skin like Micheal Jackson, they wont call u mat salleh, they will still call u "orang cina " !

Yes , english is equally important also, but no matter what, we must learn our mother tongue well also !

Sometimes , i feel really sad for those indonesia chinese, look at d way they communicate among their family members , all in bahasa indo, dont u feel sad for them ??

Talk about our MCA leaders, do u know there r quite a nos of them sending their kids to English school such as Tun L?????, OMG, can u imagine that a chinese leader sending his childs to english school instead of chinese school !

He does not love his calture n mother tongue at all, how could we expect him to do something good for chinese society ??

Look at Lee Kuan Yew , though he is 100% banana like my pa , he admitted that chinese should know his root n culture well, that's y he send Lee Shiang Loong to chinese school !

2 all MCA buggers out there ,do as u said !! dont tell us u care of chinese but u yrself looks down yr own culture !

KC said...

I 100% agree to you!

No matter what is the motive, you must not send your kids to other school other than to Chinese School.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW CHINESE, YOU WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE ROOT & CULTURE OF CHINESE.

WE MUST NOT FORGET THE CONTRIBUTION OF OUR CHINESE LEADERS WHO FIGHT FOR RETAINING THE CHINESE SCHOOL IN OUR COUNTRY.

CPO Trader said...

Unker Sam:
My case totally terbalik with you. I am supposed to be a pure banana as I start and finish my education all in banana way. However, my ang moh was so poor that..... I think my chinese at the end is better. Ha, surprisingly? I gotta thanks my sis for that. Since I am a kid, she never gave up teaching me chinese (she starts and finish her education in chinese way).as such, I am always proud that my chinese is quite good at the end.

Cheers to all chinese.....

tkc55 said...

To continue what i left off earlier.. I sent all my 3 children to chinese primary school and i insisted that they continue to take Chinese subject in their secondary schools.
And i reminded them that just in case i kicked the bucket that i cannot see their children growing up, they must send my grandchildren to chinese school so they can also learn their mother tongue , the root and culture of our more than 3000 years old culture.

tan81 said...

even koo/Tan won, but we just lost another pair to Korea.
And oldman wong really old already.

ees said...

abit sad seeing ChongHann lost... he beat the very good player Taufik but lost to Taiwanese Hsieh...sigh. I think must be the China Coach gives tips to this Taiwan Hsieh on how to beat ChongHann. The China ChenJin rather take Hsieh than WongChongHann.


AhFook and WanWah, lost steam lah. AhFook can now happily marry ZhangJiaWen, the China 1st seed women double. Both couple crash out too early dy...

det said...

My 1 cent...whatever reason you don't know your own mother tongue, it's never too late from now!!

世上无难事,只怕有心人.

Unknown said...

I studied at SJKC and Chinese private high school and I think we owe it all to the Chinese education activists. Without them fighting for Chinese education over the past 100 years, we won't even have a single Chinese school left in this country. That's why I'm really saddened by the UMNO-controlled media's continuous effort to portray Dong Jiao Zong and other Chinese education activists as extremists.

By the way, though I'm proud to be Chinese (esp. Malaysian Chinese who fight against odds and still thrive), Chinese do have some attitude that I think need change. Like what's reported in The Star today - the little girl who appeared at the Olympics opening was actually miming and the real singer didn't get to go on stage because she's considered not pretty enough! Don't you think Chinese (including overseas Chinese) are too obsessed with "projecting the perfect image" all the time?! Really disappointing!

kan said...

Back in year 2000, i was in Barcelona backpacking. Half way during my journey, a mat saleh greet me in mandarin 'how r u'. I was really shocked and next instant, i felt so proud of knowing my mother tongue :)

So did my experience in Paris. I know this guy and he is so proud to tell me that he studies part time chinese in his own country. Currently he is a solicitor in Shanghai.

Our Ms Wong would hv won d match should she managed 2 win d 2nd set coz Lulan had already exhausted.
Anyway let c how LC Wei performs 2molo.

KKK and TBH disappoints again. They were on the defensive most of the time and allow the Indonesian to dominate with their aggresive play. Moreover the Malaysian pair dun seem to have much understanding amongst themselves as we can see KKK and TBH both rushing for the shuttle at so many occasions. The Indonesian pair is definitely playing better as a pair and they were no doubt the better players last night

Samgoss said...

YES ! LCW played well this morning. 1 set 21 : 9 ! well done !
hopefully he could sweep it in straight games !
Yah..KKK/TBH 's play not up to expectation yesterday, but one need to admit, Indonesians played very well yesterday !

Move on Malaysia !

Samgoss said...

YES ! fantastic displayed by LCW ! wrap it up in straight games ! 21 - 9, 21 - 11 ! what a easy game ! teasing sony like a clown ! well done LCW !

LCW is at his peak now, Gold medal is highly possible ^V^

D next obstacle , eihter Lee Yun i or Bao C L !

Cheers !

Wah $ifu, u update d badminton so fast ah! Go 4 Gold LCW, tames d rest of d players like what he did just now, Bravo!
I really hope he'll meet Bao instead of Li in d semi final, coz Li's coach is Li Mao, he knows LCW well n d chances 2 upset LCW is high. Whoever he is, it should b another exciting game.
As 4 KKK n TBH, their tactic in double seems 2 b outdated. Defensive n not aggresive, played like women doubles last nite. 2 b frank, i like d Zakri pair, they r more aggresive.

Samgoss said...

No need to ask "Ah Kwai", Lin Dan n his GF will surely march into final this time, it has already fixed by LYB . Cos match btwn Lu Lan N Xie xing fang scheduled ahead of Zhang Ning n Indon , 4 safe play, LYB prefer Xie xing fang to play in d final against Yuslianti if Zhang Ning failed to delivered.

Same goes to Lin Dan n Chen Jin, Chances 4 lin dan to beat LCW or LYI r much higher than chen Jin based on past records ^V^

Let see whether my analysis is correct or not!?

Waiting 4 d century fight btwn Lin Dan n LCW this coming sunday.

BZ said...

So LCW has to play LYI. The korean is also at his peak and has beaten BCL in straight sets. LCW really has to be at his very best for the game since the lorean coach is LCW former coach and as one commentator has pointed out LI Moa knows LCW game very well. Anyway it will be an intersting game this evening.

118 said...

$ifu, u r right. Xie won d match n same "arrangement" in men single where Chen Jin will lose 2 Lin Dan in 3 sets just 2 show a "tough" match. So now, 2 LEEs in semi, i'm a bit worry... if LCW lose, i'll consider Beijing Olympic is over, no mood watching d rest of d events liao...anyway, u watched d men's double just now? Fu/Cai r too good 4 any pair 2 beat, they'll definately b d gold medalist liao! Well, those who hv heart problem better not 2 watch 2 LEEs clash @ 6.30pm! $ifu let's pray together 4 LCM...All d BEST!

Samgoss said...

2 alfred..winfall tax ? impact on XXXXX, told u guys oledi..short term pain long term gain ^V^

if u aim 4 short term gain from XXXXX, no way, if u aim 4 long term play..winfall tax got nothing to do with her !

See ? i told u guys to take profit 4 those u bought at low, bottom bottom fishing is highly possible !

though d shocking news seems like " Lau liu " but my move is right , 35 points down from my call of profit take ^V^

Guys, dont ask me about xxxx again, if u r contra player n aiming 4 short term gain..sorry ! u found d wrong blog , if u r aiming 4 long term play on XXXX, 4low my every steps , fruitfuls results assured ^V^

Will buy back XXXXX @ < 0.40 ^V^

2 118 , yes..waiting eargerly 4 d match btwn lin dan n Lee C W, i think LCW stand a better chance to beat Lee Y ill , be there at 6.30pm ^V^

Samgoss said...

Bravo Lee Choong Wei ! Silver medal at least ! let go 4 d ultimate Gold !!!

Yahoooooooo !

118 said...

LCW...go all the way to GOLD.

But he'll need to withstand the booing....which happened to the jap women pair. Great performance by them although they didn't win.

Its unfortunate that as host, they are booing the competitors.....its ok to cheer your countryman but booing the oponent is a no no...bad sportsmanship

Anyway.......all the best to LCW...just play ur heart out whatever the results and we are proud and behind you all the WAY!

tkc55 said...

I also watched the match between LCW and LYI, it was magnificent! LCW was unquestionable patriotic, he kissed the Malaysian flag sewed on his shirt twice to show his love and loyalty to the country after jumped over to hug his coach Misbun. For those extremists who barged into the recent bar council organised forum and shouted "babi, balik cina!"
Don't you feel ashame of yourself? What have you done for our country comparing to LCW? Instead, you are making a fool of yourselves in front of the whole world!

Hi Sam,

I am just wondering why the price of masteel has dropped tremendously recently. It has been one of your favorite call and now it has dropped far below your TP. Please help me in understanding the current situation. I have been following your blog for very long time.perhaps 1.5 to 2 years. Thank you very much for you teaching in investment.Thank you

TL : I STRONGLY SUGGESTED THAT INORDER TO SPICE UP LEE CHONG WEI SPIRIT ( MALAYSIA BOLEH ), OUR BELOVED PRIME MINISTER BO-DO-WI SHOULD BE SEND TO WATCH THE GAME AND THUS THIS MAY SEND STRONG SIGNAL TO LEE CHONG WEI THAT HE IS SO PRIVILEGE HAVING THE PM SEE HIM PLAYING. LEE SURE HAVE THE BIGGEST BOOST OF MORAL SUPPORT WHEN PLAYING.

P/S : SOMEBODY PLEASE ENSURE KEEP OUR PM AWAKE THROUGHOUT THE GAME ...OTHERWISE HE MAY SLEPT FROM THE START OF THE GAME TILL FINISH....

TL : IMMEDIATELY THE WINNING POINT, LCW RUSH AND HUG MISBUN. THIS DEMONSTRATE ' RACIAL HARMONY ' WHICHOUT BOUNDARY.

RIGHT AFTER THIS TOUCHING MOMENT, AN NST REPORTER MANAGE TO SEEK A SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH SEE-FOUR :

REPORTER : YB, WHAT IS YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS ?

SEE-FOUR : AHEM...APPARENTLY I SEE THAT OUR NATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAMME IS WORKING WELL BY INSTILLING ROYALTY TOWARDS THE COUNTRY AND ALSO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PLANTED THE SEEDS OF RACIAL HARMONY AMONG RACES. YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF, RIGHT ? A CHINESE IS HUGGING A MALAY.....THIS SHOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THE NS CAMP IS.

REPORTER : I GUESS BOTH LCW AND MISBUN DID NOT ATTENDED THE NS CAMP SINCE THIS WAS JUST INTRODUCED RECENTLY AND BOTH OF THEM ARE ' OVER-AGED ' FOR IT.

SEE-FOUR : MAU MAKAN C4 KAH ?

SEE - FOUR : NEVER MIND. FOR BUDGET 2009 WHICH COMING SOON AT END OF THIS MONTH, WE WILL INCREASE THE ALLOCATION FOR NS CAMP BY 10 FOLD. THE INCREASE IS NECCESSARILY FOR US TO PURCHASE MORE SUBMARINE AND HELICOPTER FOR THE NS TRAINEE SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE REAL LIFE HAND ON PRACTISE.
THIS TIME WE ARE BUYING DIRECT AND WILL NOT APPOINT ANY MONGOLIAN BROKER TO NEGOTIATE THE PRICING. THIS MAY CUT DOWN THE COST OF COMMISSION.

REPORTER : THANK YOU YB FOR YOUR TIME. BY THE WAY, WHEN ARE YOU GOING FOR ANOTHER LAWATAN SAMBIL BELAJAR ? THE VERY LAST MONTH SOMEWHERE IN PARIS ONE...I FORGET TO ASK YOUR WIFE TO BUY ME A GUCCI BAG.....IS SLIGHTLY CHEAPER OVER THERE COMPARE TO MALAYSIA AIRPORT ONE...EVEN AFTER DUTY FREE.

SEE-FOUR : AHEMMM....

GK said...

yeah, sam. Today's LCW is diff with what I watch always!!! He is cool but equipped with powerful return, his stroke, net skill ==> one world ==> FANTASTIC! Really hope that he can win the GOLD medal. Currently, he is holding RM500K cheque!

Samgoss said...

2 danny, masteel dropped alot ? u must be kidding bro..fyi, right issued 3 : 1, lah bro ^V^

Balik China ? come on... only fools will say that, n i believe not all our bro malays thought d same, only idiot will do this !

So how now ? after Hang Li Po, Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat..what next ??? Hang Lee Choong Wei ? ha ha..hv u heard about d hidden secret of Hang Tuah ? do u know what d experts found from DNA of Hang Tuah n Hang Jebat ?

LCW n Misbun hv demostrated a great example of racial harmony , this is d way it should be, unfortunately , we hv some idiot politicians who like to play shit among various races, vote them out in next coming GE !


LCW vs Lin DAN = Fight
of d century ! both also at their peak , their chances r 50/50 ^V^

Let hope that lcw could grant us d first OLYMPICS GOLD 4 malaysia !

Hang LCW, go 4 it !

det said...

Due to working schedule, i've no choice but to watch the match at kedai mamak. Various races there, we all clapped our hands and screamed from the bottom of our hearts each time LCW made it! Various races but one hope for LCW. Luv that environment.

LCW GO! GO! GO!! Treasure this opportunity to make your dream and our dreams come true.

SUNDAY 17-08-2008 8pm. LCW is NOT ALONE, We, Malaysian are with him .... 100% SUPPORT!!!

Bravo LCW, This is the time to show to the world Malaysia also geng in sport ^V^.
Detail on game, he makes more mistake in net play compare to LD. If 'bet' sorry to say 55 (LD)-45 (LCW). probably add 5% for home ground advantage.

Wah sam, your history so geng-ar, Hang Tuah and Jebat also in your blog... ^V^.

Politics heat will we strong now, hope DSAI could win, just want to have equall strength in our gov./pembangkang ratio (provided x over successful)
Change away all stupid policies, improve "EDUCATION','MEDICAL' system, throuw away race based system - after 51% of merdeka still got joker shut 'balik cina', what a shame....., open up 10% placese, another greedy joker gather here and there - blame who.........

Danny said...

If LCW becomes d 1st Malaysian 2 win d Olympic gold medal, don't u all think tat he is even GREATER than our so called "First M'sian Astranaut"...errrrr forgot abt d name oledi, how many of u still remember his name?
What i'm trying 2 say is, Malaysia PLEASEEEEEE try 2 produce a real QUALITY HERO instead of BUYING a Hero v billions Ringgit.
n of course, M'sia could create a harmonious society just through sports without having 2 spend a lot of $$$ like what TL said of NS camp.
d relationship btwn LCW n Misbun is d BEST example. Again, they become so close because of their mutual respects n tis has something to do v meritrocacy.
D BEST n someone v Quality should always b respected n treasured. Coz: MERITROCACY will definately could build a nation while Quota system could probably ruin a nation.
LCW n Misbun: jia yu! Both of u r a real Malaysia Boleh!
