"SEANDAI Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) tidak menangani segera masalah ketandusan pemain berkaliber, ia berdepan senario menakutkan apabila skuad negara mungkin tidak layak beraksi dalam saingan Piala Thomas bagi edisi 2012.
Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong berkata, gelagat bergantung harapan kepada satu atau dua pemain adalah sesuatu yang membimbangkan dan barisan pemain muda yang ada belum dapat merapatkan jurang pemain dengan pemain elit.
Seandainya senario itu berterusan, Malaysia akan menghadapi masalah menampilkan pemain terbaik, bukan hanya untuk beraksi dalam Piala Thomas tetapi juga dalam Sukan Olimpik, Asia dan Komanwel, situasi yang pernah melanda skuad badminton negara pada 1970-an dan awal 1980-an. "

Malaysian bandminton are going ready to major downfall; just like what happen to other sport like hockey and sepak takraw. we use to be a world power house but now it is all but history. the question here is; why NOW you realize our national team are short of new player? after every defeat, then you realize. what happen to those day when you only concentrate on one player to pursue his quest for world ranking while the backup player are nowhere to be seen. act faster BAM, act faster...

Tanglin - Revisited!
During my school days, i used to come here everytime i come to KL. the reason? my auntie used to work at Tanglin polyclinic and i normally follow her. there are one nasi lemak stall there that attract many customer for their delicious nasi lemak.
so last week, i have to go for a meeting at Jln Duta. while the time are still early, i decided to drop by there and have a plate of nasi lemak at Tanglin. although it was not as nice as they are used to (my personal view ok..may differ from others), it still a nice place to remember the old time there.

Tokina - AT-X 340 AF-II 100-300 F4
Tokina was known as a 3rd party lens manufacturer for many camera brand. nowadays, you can find Tokina are designing their lens to fit mostly for Nikon and Canon mount. recently, they released an Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) lens for Sony/ Minolta mount, but it was long after the last Tokina lens for A-mount was released.
for me, Tokina lens was always give a satisfaction (in term of value for money factor-lah!) as i used to own some Tokina lenses before. they're quickly become a collector item then, so this Tokina ATX 340 AFII 100-300 f4 is surely a collector item.
i was lucky to get it via a friend who are no longer using Minolta camera. i'm not pretty sure when was this lens manufactured, but one thing for sure, the build quality was really superb. try to hold it and you will say: "Wow, this is really metal man!". i have no complain whatsoever about the build quality as most of Tokina lenses will guarantee you a very solid build. weight was around 1.5kg. and it have a rotating tripod collar in which you cant unattached it; but you can rotate it freely to suit your needs. it uses 77mm filter thread in which are common for many telephoto lens out there. the coating was nice to as you can see from the picture, its still 'colorful'.
the rotating but unremovable tripod collar
the coating was still good
one of the plus point of this lens is, it offer you a constant aperture at f4 at all focal length. it was really useful when shooting at low light condition (ok..f2.8 is a performer at low light, but you have to splash your money more). i once brought it to football match and it doesn't disappoint me. step down to f5 and beyond, the lens sharpness really shown and the bokeh was surprisingly very smooth and milky.
my final say: if you come across this lens, please have a look. it was hard to find it now as only few are left in market. i do know one guy at Ipoh have this, but the lens was fogging and almost impossible to use. i wonder why Tokina (or even sony itself) decide not to produce this lens again. definitely one of my best buy. thumbs up!
**update: i recently have to sold this beauty to new owner to make way for other lens to come. hard, but its true..
