For the 1st time in history... USA made it to the Semi-Finals... even to the Finals of Badminton Champioships... AND EVEN got a medal!!! Not just any medal... but a GOLD MEDAL!!! That sucks, cuz I'm an Indonesian. It's s'posed to be an All-Indonesian Final in this 2005 World Badminton Championship. D'ya know why I said that? Cuz 3 out of the 4 players playing in the Final of the Men's Doubles are Indonesians.. the other guy (Howard Bach) is a Vietnamese-born..but he became an American citizen (if I'm not wrong), I despise the guy. The other three are: Chandra Wijaya and Sigit Budiarto playing for Indonesia, and Tony Gunawan playing for USA.

But on the other hand, even though the Indonesian team didn't bring home 3 Gold Medals but instead 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze, somehow I feel proud of Tony Gunawan. Cuz of his badminton-playing, his name was screamed by the Americans in support of his play. Bangga juga sih orang2 bule itu pada teriakin dan mengelu-elukan namanya... Ada orang bule nge-fans ama orang kita bo'! Sampe2 nama Tony ditulis di forehead-nya seorang cewe bule! Lucu juga... But then I'd be ashamed if I was an American, cuz it means USA didn't win purely, cuz they didn't use their own people, they paid Tony to play.

What do YOU think?
