Wong Mew Choo


I do not have any memory of any illustrious woman badminton player from my own country. I am 28 years old.

Sylvia Ng? Who’s that?

Yet this down-to-earth lady has achieved something spectacular. Beating 5 current/ex Chinese player and among those 3 current/ex World Champions in China Open yesterday, she carved her name into the history book of the badminton.

Yes it might be just a fleeting wink of glory. But who cares anyway?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy?

It was quite a hastily-planned yet very enjoyable (plus kiasu as in have to pay a visit to as many places as possible) trip to HK-Macau that resulted in I have to work LIKE more than 14 hours a day for the past two weeks.

Reckoning that there are just too many pictures to be shared, I opened another blog jsut for this trip. Click HERE if you would like to catch a look. Here's one I like the most!



I am working very diligently (I hope it will be a "was" this coming week) to get my second product launched. Here's my first product!

And yes, there was a veiled (now not since publicized here) sense of proudness when the first unit was sold last month. :P

It was built to look a bit like the churches of Rome or Venice that's why it is one of the most beautiful churches in Munich.

Renovation is on going, which is why the woman is there!
