Jika Kau Fikirkan Kau Boleh...

..Kau hampir boleh melakukan
Jika kau fikirkan ragu-ragu
Usahamu tidak menentu

Tu dia. Retro 90an. Hehehhehehe. Did you realize that this song has been played on air surrounding the 1992 Thomas Cup. Yes, the one in KL. The one that Malaysia won. Beating the giants that time - Indonesia. Before that Malaysia beat China in the semis. Zaman tu...hai, mmg tak tercapai akalku, that Malaysia will be in the finals let alone win.

It was a school night. But somehow, we were given permission to camped out in the TV room. Well, all of us were there coz there's rumors that it will be a public holiday the next day, if Malaysia win. Hulamak, kena la memberi sokongan padu. Cuti beb! Then again, I dunno if we ever got the public holiday or not. Doesn't matter sbb Malaysia menang! Read full the 1992 result here

Goodness, it was one of the best sporting event I ever witness.

Apa taknya. Foo Kok Keong main sampai tercabut kasut. Tercabut. Kasut. Dia. Imagine that! Takde yang lebih bersemangat lagi dari ni. He beat an Olympic gold medalist ok. Sebelum tu.. Rashid menang dgn si hidung kembang Ardi Wiranata. Puas hati betul. Then, the doubles - Cheah Soon Kit and Soo Beng Kiang, manage to beat Ricky Subaja and Rexy Mainaky. The Indonesian pair was also an Olympic gold medalist. The rest of the team was made of Razif and Jailani as well as Kwan Yoke Meng. Tak pernah TV room tu gamat macam tu sekali. Every points was a heartache. Rasa macam nak pengsan pun ada. Dah la zaman tu main format you only gain point if you're holding servis.

Watch this excerp that I got from youtube. Coutesy of nazhif211. It's not that good of a quality, but this one has Hasbullah commenting. Just watch how wild the crowd was. Also see how scandalously short the shorts worn by players in the 90s. Hehehhee.

Hasbullah said, "Mata akhir yang dicari selama 25 tahun.." and then the rest is history.

Hai, skang ni tgk Thomas Cup mcm tak bermaya aje. Lawan budak sekolah dari Korea smlm pun macam nak kalah je. Then again, kudos tu the ladies for making it to the quaterfinals. But at least diaorg dah tak main style ceduk lauk macam zaman dulu. Ada la attacking flair sket.

p/s: Perasan tak Malaysia selalu macam ada pasukan sorak sendiri? Aparently they are volunteers. If bosan2, nak travel free, rajin-rajin la browse sini. Cayalah!
