MMU MASTER 2008

I had not updated my blog since 2 weeks ago. The weekends for last 2 weeks was a busy weekends for me. I have no time to rest at home or even do revision for final exam. I had joined a biggest badminton event organized by MMU Badminton Club- MMU MASTER 2008. For your information, MMU MASTER is a badminton open championship which means all peoples from Malaysia are invited to join this event.

This event was held at Yok Bin Secondary School, and the date are 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27th April 2008. For 19th and 20th of April were closed category while 25th, 26th and 27th were open category. MMU MASTER for this year was not same as previous year, because we had invited 4 legendary players from Indonesia to have exhibition match on 26th and 27th of April. They are 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist- Rexy Mainaki-Ricky Subagja and 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist- Chandra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan.

Rexy Mainaki had make a lot of funny stuff during the exhibition match such as "pattern lebih" before return the shuttle to the opponent, go out rest while match is on and so on. The purpose they did so was just to make the spectators happy. After the exhibition match, many spectators went and get that 4 players to take photographs and autographs. I still have a chance to talk to Rexy (Malaysia Men-Double's coach) regarding the preparation of Malaysia squad for Thomas Cup and Olympic in Beijing. He seems like not much comment and replied me everything had done (training and other preparation), and we just wait and see.

On 27th of April, which was the last day of MMU MASTER, our MMU players have a friendly match with Rexy Mainaki-Chandra Wijaya. Both players enjoyed their game and the result was Rexy-Chandra won 21-12. Both of MMU players can feel proud because they have chance to play with national players and they able to get 12 points. We also broke 1 more new Malaysia Book Of Record. We using 17,398 shuttlecocks to make a big Malaysia flag (Jalur Gemilang). The mock cert was signed by the Exco Kerajaan Negeri Melaka to prove that the "Jalur Gemilang" was in the Malaysia's Record. The events ends at 10.30pm. All of the committees headed home around 12 o'clock after we clean up the hall. It was a tired day but happy joining this events. Hope to join MMU MASTER 2009 next year.

As a Assistant Director of Safety and Security Division, I would like to thank all my sub-committees for their contribution in this event. Without them, the event won't be success. I appreciate it!!!
