Two weeks back. Again. The routine of picking up Kingston from school. As there were no convenient parking nearby that day, I parked a distance away and walked to the usual spot to wait for him.
"Rrrrriiinnngggg", school bell rang , signaling the dismissal for the day.
School children being released from their classes these days really follow the social distancing guidelines. Bravo!
After 25 mins, the flow was over. Even his last class session teacher Puan Harni drove out of the school. No sight of my son at all.
"Walao eh, this fella sure went somewhere in school to play with friends", I told myself.
With the scorching noon sun and me getting all sweaty on top of wearning a face mask, I decide made my way into the school trying to find him. Before my third step, I saw him.
I saw him. Not alone. With a girl classmate. Giggling. Smiling. Laughing.The girl sported a ponytail. Attractive. A bit resembling Kingston's mother.
I cant control my inner excitement too when I shouted," Oi Kingston, so happy ah?" He was stunned straight away, face became "malu malu kucing" then ran towards me. Haha.
In the car.
"Pa, can i ask you something?" asked Kingston with still some blushes on his face; and I nodded my head in agreement.
"What made you like Mommy?",he asked.
While giggling in my heart, I put on the traditional father face and gave him the whole lecture of "studies comes first for the next ten years".
I glanced at him. He glanced at me back sternly, demanding for an answer.
"I like your mommy because she pretty la. And she good hearted la. And she is also first non-Chinese player to win China Open. Dont play play", I answered proudly.
Kingston immediately grabbed my phone and googled the authenticity of my words. Again, the glance from the corner of his eye.
"Hello pa, you see lah" while showing he what he googled. A photo of a Korean ajumma!
Oh mak kau! Luckily there was no car nearby as I nearly lose control my wheel seeing that photo.
She was actually Bang Soo Hyun. A top player before my time. Then only i realized my mistake in my claim.
Kingston then smirked ,"You forget this still ok. Dont ever forget mommy's birthday in few days time "
I had to detour and buy Kingston a Happy Meal to keep his mouth shut for my embarrassment.
Doesnt matter she is not the first non-chinese player to win China Open, to me she is still the best female player in my eyes. Ever. More importantly , she is the best mother, best wife and best companion one can ever have.
Happy birthday, my love, my superwoman @Mewchoo. To many birthday celebrations together down the road.
To Kingston ; you think your father stupid is it, dare to forget mommy's birthday. Pass you an advice when you read this one day. "The easiest way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once."
Happy birthday wifey. Hehe.
今天是劳动节,也是我全年无休的妻子妙珠的大日子,当然要放闪一下✨
时光飞逝,对你的爱未曾消减
物转星移,你依旧是我的永远
亲爱的老婆生日快乐,感谢你默默无悔的付出,谢谢你撑起了整头家,平时愿我永远的爱能换得你永远的笑。

Wednesday, July 29th 2015. I was grimacing in pain. It must be the overnight food I took just now. I believed so. Hand on stomach, I struggled even to walk few steps.
Immediately told my teammates, and few of the boys drove me to the nearby hospital. Luckily thanks to drips and painkiller, the pain stopped. Yet I was still feeling weak. “No chance I’m gonna risk my body to play in tomorrow’s final”. I was referring to the 2015 Perak Open mixed double final.
Just when I wanted to give my coach a call to tell him my decision, I received a call. It was Vivian. She sounded worried.
“Big bro, heard of you hospitalized due to food poisoning. Please prioritize your health. I will tell the organizing committee we pull out from tomorrow’s final!” She said with a concerned yet stern tone, sincerely wanting me to rest.
Being the role model for the younger shuttlers, of course I had to put in a brave act. I said “No, I am determined to play, unless doctor advised me not to.” In actual fact, at that moment, my body couldn’t take it and having IV drip pipe hanging from my arm.
She paused. Must be stunned by my reply and didn’t want to insist due to my seniority. Then she replied in a manner I would never forget. “Big bro, if you really need to enter the court, please stay in front, let me do the running, covering you at the back.”
I was taken aback by those words. Coming from someone so young, that was a moment I learnt something from a junior. How could I disappoint her? How could I not be a better role model for the rest of the team after those words?
Doctors then advised me to rest. I told doctor if there is a slight chance for me to play, let me play. One of the male nurse cheekily asked ‘Why bro? Esok Perak Open final. Not Olympic or All England.” My respond? “For the promise I made to my fans who love this game, and for my partner.”
We won the final the next day. She did cover for me for few points of the game.
Vivian Hoo Kah Mun , Big bro here just want to thank you for being a good role model for the team. I’m sure this is not your final curtain because I see there is still fire, talent, skill in you to play a good 3-4 years more, at the very top level. I believe in you.
To the rest who suffered the same fate, don’t be disheartened. Make sure be more disciplined in training. Train even harder! There are good examples around the world where badminton professionals excel well!
If you still love the game, if you still can run a rubber set, don’t give up on your dreams.
羽球生涯中,我一直记得这一幕。
2015年,我跟师妹嘉雯搭档在霹雳公开赛打混双,怎么知道打完半决赛,我竟然食物中毒上吐下泻得进院吊点滴。当时我心想:惨了,明天的决赛怎么办呢?难得跟嘉雯搭档打比赛,实在不想让她失望而归,但无奈身体又不听使唤。这时,就接到嘉雯拨过来的一通电话:
“一哥,明天你别下场了,那不是什么重要的比赛,身体要紧,你应该把重心放在世锦赛&奥运上。”
那时我听着电话,即使身体很虚,但还是用尽全力跟嘉雯说:“你知道的,我只要站上赛场就一定会坚持到底,不会这样就放弃比赛。” 虽然当下我也对隔天的决赛没什么把握,但就是不想辜负我的搭档。
后来嘉雯说,“好,一哥,如果你坚持下场,明天就让你站前面,我在站后面帮你顶。”
队友简单的一句话,让当时躺在医院的我非常感动,一心只想身体赶快好起来冲回赛场比拼,因为我们都没放弃、全力以赴上阵,最后在霹雳公开赛摘下混双冠军:)
球场上就是如此,没有人会想放弃谁,既然答应上场就要拼到最后一刻!最近,知道嘉雯已经离开国家队了,想起她在球场上从来不迟到早退、很会照顾后辈、个性坦率做事耿直,我身为师兄很为她骄傲,也想为她的精神鼓掌!不管未来路怎么走,做什么决定,都支持你。
和嘉雯有着想同命运的球员们想对你们说:即来之,则安之,未来路还很长,坚持训练,灿烂的阳光总会在风雨后出现!

Today I went to NYC’s Brooklyn Chinatown as a clueless white guy and got food and chatted with locals in the rare Chinese dialect of Fuzhounese. They were totally stunned!!! This is Part 2 of our Fuzhounese adventure in NYC’s Brooklyn Chinatown of Sunset Park (8th Avenue).
It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions — both the waiters and the other patrons in Sunset Park were totally shocked! Then we walked around in the Chinese New Year parade and chatted with vendors and other people in Fuzhounese and Mandarin; their reactions were hilarious as well!

Allen Iverson finally shook his shadow and shook up the NBA Finals.
Hounded by unheralded Tyronn Lue, Iverson scored seven of his 48 points in a one-minute span of overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Los Angeles Lakers with a 107-101 victory in the opener of the NBA Finals.
Iverson scored 30 points in a scintillating first half, letting everyone know that the 76ers were going to be more than another pushover for the powerful Lakers. His late flurry silenced the Staples Center and unceremoniously ended Los Angeles' run at a perfect postseason.
"Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there," Iverson said. "I'm glad nobody didn't bet their life on it 'cause they definitely would be dead right now."
Instead, the Sixers -- double-digit underdogs -- are very much alive as they again displayed their heroic heart.
"Our guys just try hard," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is kind of unexpected but it's neat."
In between Iverson outbursts, Lue stymied the NBA Most Valuable Player for nearly 20 minutes, using his quickness to prevent Iverson from even getting the ball, let alone shoot it. He had spent the last two practices impersonating Iverson and apparently got pretty good at it.
"I just try to deny him the ball as much as possible, because when he does get the ball, the best penetrator in the game is going to be hard to stop," Lue said. "We were trying to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible."
"He was holding me the whole time," Iverson said.
But the third-year reserve let his guard down for just a second and it cost the Lakers. Iverson's two free throws pulled the Sixers within 99-98 with 1:46 remaining and the Lakers called a timeout.
Lue drove and threw up a wild shot as he fell out of bounds. The Sixers rebounded and Iverson ran out in transition. With Lue nowhere in sight, he drilled a 3-pointer that gave Philadelphia the lead for good at 101-99 with 1:19 left.
"That was really the knife that wounded us," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.
Rick Fox spoiled a solid game by throwing away a pass and Iverson made a step-back baseline jumper for a 103-99 lead with 47 seconds to go.
Kobe Bryant, who shot poorly and could not defend Iverson, hit a baseline jumper with 33 seconds to play. But Eric Snow, whose runner late in the fourth quarter saved the Sixers, made a similar shot to seal it with 10 seconds left.
On the eve of his 26th birthday, Iverson made 18-of-41 shots and 9-of-9 free throws, adding six assists and five steals. Playing his first NBA Finals game, his explosion offset 44 points and 20 rebounds by Shaquille O'Neal as he won the duel between the league's last two MVPs.
The Lakers rallied from a 15-point third-quarter deficit only to blow a five-point overtime lead as they lost for the first time since April 1, a span of 20 games. They had come into this series as huge favorites, having romped through the postseason with 11 straight wins by an average of more than 15 points.
"I'm kind of relieved it's over in some ways but but it does put some pressure on us to get a win on our home court," Jackson said. "We've got to go out on Friday night and find a way to get this series tied up."
The Sixers came in with no one expecting them to win a game, let alone the series. But they used their trademark toughness to do in just one game what the weak knees of the Western Conference could not do in 11 -- beat the Lakers.
"They thought we were gonna get swept and that was like a slap in the face to us," Iverson said.
Game Two is Friday at Los Angeles. Philadelphia is trying to knock off the defending champions and win its first title in 18 years.
"Now it's a series," O'Neal said.
However, Philadelphia may have to try a little harder. Guard Aaron McKie, who did a superb job of defending Bryant, suffered a chip fracture of his right ankle but is probable for Friday.
Both Iverson and O'Neal abused a series of defenders. Iverson sent starter Derek Fisher to a permanent seat on the bench and also had his way with Bryant before Lue came on.
"You can't take anything away from Tyronn Lue," Iverson admitted. "A lot of guys go out against a player that's named MVP of the regular season and won't give it his all, act like he's scared. But he gave his team a great lift."
O'Neal met some resistance from Mutombo but manhandled Matt Geiger and Todd MacCulloch at the end of the third quarter. He made 17-of-28 shots but just 10-of-22 from the line.
Most of O'Neal's offense came against single coverage from Dikembe Mutombo, who sat down with foul trouble for most of the third quarter but still contributed 13 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks.
His presence allowed Philadelphia to swarm to Bryant, who had an awful game with just 15 points, on 7-of-22 shooting, and six turnovers.
"They got into Kobe's body, and bodied him on the dribble, stripped the ball when he picked it up," Jackson said. "He really didn't clear himself for shots very easily tonight."
Snow scored 13 points and injury-hampered Matt Geiger provided an unexpected 10 for the Sixers, who shot 48 percent (40-of-83) and missed just two of 25 free throws, which came at the worst possible time.
O'Neal's dunk off a feed from Bryant with 1:57 left in the fourth quarter gave the Lakers a 94-92 lead, their first since midway through the second period.
Snow answered with his first running jumper and the Sixers had a chance to take the lead when Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and was fouled with 34 seconds to go. But he missed both after Philadelphia had hit its first 19 from the line.
Bryant and Snow missed, sending it to overtime, where it looked like the Lakers were ready to win. O'Neal threw in a hook, Bryant spun for a layup and O'Neal split a pair from the line for a 99-94 lead.
The Sixers looked dead when Raja Bell found himself trapped in the lane with the shot clock running down. But he pivoted and threw in a scoop shot with his left hand with 2:19 remaining, sparking the comeback.
Fox scored 19 points for the Lakers, who were playing for the first time in 10 days and shot 44 percent (40-of-90).
At the start, it looked like another Lakers landslide. A 16-0 burst capped by Bryant's first basket gave Los Angeles an 18-5 lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go -- and perhaps allowed complacency to set in.
"We watched games that they played when they jumped out on guys and guys just packed it in and stopped playing," Iverson said. "But we've been like that before. We've been in games where we started off slow and ended up winning."
Iverson scored 10 points in the rest of the period, then opened the second quarter with a jumper over Bryant for a 24-23 lead.
The Lakers still held a 38-36 lead midway through the second quarter when Jackson was hit with a technical foul for arguing a non-call against Mutombo.
Iverson made the foul shot, Geiger hit two jumpers to give the Sixers the lead at 41-40 and Iverson took over from there as he scored Philadelphia's last 15 points of the half, mostly off his trademark crossover dribble.
His 3-pointer gave the Sixers a 56-48 advantage before O'Neal hammered home a miss by Bryant in the final second.
At intermission, Iverson had 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting, lighting up Bryant, who was 2-of-10 for four points with five turnovers.
"Allen really stepped it up," Brown said. "His first half was about as good as it gets."
It continued in the third quarter, as Iverson fed Jumaine Jones for an alley-oop slam, sank a jumper and dropped a layup over O'Neal for a 64-54 lead. He took a steal in for a layup and hit a fading corner shot before Eric Snow's three-point play gave the Sixers their largest lead at 73-58 with 5:23 left.
But with Mutombo on the bench, Philadelphia could not fight off O'Neal, who overpowered Geiger and MacCulloch and muscled Los Angeles back into it. He scored 14 points in the final 5:10 of the period, and with Lue shadowing Iverson, the Lakers pulled within 79-77 entering the final period.
Philadelphia led by as many as seven points early in the fourth quarter, when Mutombo picked up his fifth foul and again sat down before returning less than a minute later as Geiger fouled out.

Lyrics:
[Verse]
When I was hanging 'round I got some dust right in my eyes
I was so hungry, I went to the noodle shop
And there you were, you got me like "wow oh my god"
You were so fine you made my heart feel like it stopped
I got stunned when you gracefully walked by
It was destiny that you'd surely be mine
I dropped my noodle cup 'cause they looked at me
If I knew Korean I'd say saranghae
[Drop]
I was daydreaming then you're gone (yah)
I fall in love (Yah)
I'm sprinting on these busy streets to find you girl (yah)
You disappeared into the crowd before my eyes (yah)
Though you're so far but I was running right behind yah
[Pre-chorus]
Lost in your eyes girl, you are so beautiful (yah)
This is so unreal that you are stopping by (yah)
Your lovely lips make me feel so high (yah)
I can't hold it back, we should be together (yah, yah, yah)
[Chorus]
Simple love girl
Simple love girl
Simple love, simple love oh simple love girl
In my dream I got my angel that heaven sent
Baby girl, I'm gonna say " You're the only one "
Simple love girl
Simple love girl
Simple love, simple love oh simple love girl
Rolling with me on the way yo my candy girl
saranghae, saranghae simple love girl
