Last Sunday, I pretty sure everyone were cheered for our players in Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil. Putra Stadium recorded highest number of spectators ever in an event. This is because Malaysia has two representatives in the final for the second round of super series, the Malaysia Open. The best part was Malaysia won both of them with Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Koo-Tan. Lee Chong Wei won his first back to back title after won the Korea Open one week earlier. Koo-Tan also won their first tournament of the year they joined after skipped the Korea Open.
This year will see Thomas Cup held at the same venue and hopefully this stadium will continue to bring more joys to Malaysia fans as we have high hope on them especially Chong Wei. Koo-Tan last won their first tournament was in 2007 and then went on to dominate for some time. Hopefully, this year can see another repeat of their result. However, there are some setback because our backup squad continue to show poor result. Malaysia must find way to come out with strong team to win the honour for the country.
Lee Chong Wei won the first the super series with the absent of Lin Dan but he is improving to become better than ever. With the current form, hopefully, he can give a good fight when facing Lin Dan in the near future which is most likely happen in All England. Koo-Tan must work on their weaknesses on court to become stronger like what they did in 2007.So, hope to see more from them.

New Tallest Building in the World
Burj Dubai was renamed Burj Khalifa during the grand opening on 4th January. I believe the world is watching the wonderful opening ceremony on that day as the ceremony shows to the world no sign of economy recession in Dubai. Burj Dubai was completed later in the schedule following the hit of recession in the city. On 4th January, Burj Khalifa officially overtake Taipei 101 as the world tallest man made structure. Burj Khalifa was started to construct back in 2004 and has a final height of 828m which the top can be viewed from almost 100km away.
Beside being the tallest, the tower holds many new world records such as world's highest swimming pool and world's fastest elevators. No new tower is expected to beat the height of the Burj Khalifa in the next 10 years. If there are any, maybe that will be the first kilometre height tower. The completion of Burj Khalifa has set the new standard for architecture, engineering and construction. Things are expected to get better and better. Really can't imagine the skyscraper going to build in the future.
