Datuk Lee Chong Wei returned to Malaysia to a hero's welcome earlier today. And now, the hopes of Malaysia for a medal lies on the shoulder of Azizulhasni Awang who just qualified to the finals of Men's Keirin. the race is coming up in half an hour or so. He will be competing with six others.

The twittersphere is abuzz with excitement. So far, no clown politician has yet to make any monkey statement ala the aftermath of Chong Wei's match. We shall see what pans out .......

Oh dear! I must have jinxed it again. Azizul was boxed in and couldn't find another gear to keep up with the pace. He still should be proud to be in the reckoning. Definitely an Olympic-class athlete. Well done!

Spain Did It

Well done to Spain. Although the 4-0 score line was rather harsh. Mind you, the Italians were playing with ten men after Thiago Motta was carried off injured. It was just unlucky. Spain deserved the win though, but maybe by a couple of goals.

I managed to watch the second half and when I tried to sleep after the match, I got a phone call from the hospital as one of my patient was taken ill. Time to head to the hospital. An unexpected earlier start than planned.

So, here I was, just after 9, just finished sorting out my patients. Starving though. I might just catch some breakfast later.

The Final

I have a couple of admissions and transfer waiting for beds, and while waiting, it was the FA Cup Final on the TV. Chelsea was playing Liverpool. And I had the whole of the Doctor's Lounge to myself, with its big 60 inch TV.

Eight years ago, the final was played between Manchester United and Millwall. Puan Anita was in labour for Idlan then, but as she was on epidural, she was actually watching the match with me in the labour ward. Surreal but through. Idlan held on overnight, when finally, Anita had to have a Caesarean.

Since then, I had always remembered the fact everytime the FA Cup Dinal was being played. I had to watch it by myself this year however. And compared to 8 years ago, the match was played a couple of weeks earlier than usual.
