Some of the best photos from Malaysia SEA Games!

The 29th South East Asian Games of SEA GAMES is currently ongoing in my city Kuala Lumpur. This will be the sixth time Malaysia host the games and its first time since 2001. We, Malaysian were in sporting spirits as host country and as supporters to our Malaysian athletes. This week, every time I came home, I will straightaway open my TV channel to watch the recent match played by our heroes. Some of the sports that I love to watch are Football, Swimming, Netball, Diving, and Volleyball. As a host nation, we respect our visitors as we know they are close neighbors to us and sport is the medium to unite us all together.

I often dream to be an athlete, to be honest. The sport of my choice would be Badminton and Futsal (5 vs. 5 indoor football). Growing in Malaysia, we have huge numbers of Badminton courts and we watch a lot of Badminton matches and we produced great numbers of great athletes in this field. Badminton unites us as a country. Everyone here in Malaysia knows how to plays them because it has blended in our culture. We got sad, we got emotional but that does not stop us from playing Badminton. In the case of Futsal, well I just love watching football and Futsal is the mini version ^_^ plus it is indoor (now I don’t like to be tanned LOL).

Best pictures of SEA GAMES 2017 according to me

The credit for these pictures goes to some of the newspapers companies in Malaysia. I will credit to the source that is certain

Athletes are full of determinations and this act can be captured by the lenses. I always got amused and excited if I’ve seen this determination face or intensely- cool pictures. I thought to share it here. I also hope to get your views on which pictures you like while I explain the meaning of the pictures.

This picture has made social media talking. We adore the spirit of volunteerism of this lady doing her job keeping the contestant hydrated. It is not easy to give water to a running participant on a horse particularly the contestant is the fastest in the race ( Malaysian Sultan Mizan). Bravo sister!

The grand opening ceremony was touted as the best ever in SEA GAMES history as spectacles of lights, colors, and fireworks wowed the 90,000 audiences. On one gimmick, Malaysian Nur Dhabitah, became the first Malaysian woman athlete to light up the cauldron which was the highlight of the opening ceremony. She said she feels like a ‘SuperWoman’.
