2014



It has been a long time since I last posted something on my blog. Since I haven’t posted anything here in the year of 2014, it’s probably a great opportunity to talk about myself and the direction of this blog. I don’t think I have introduced myself here. My name is Zhe Xu. (I know it’s hard to pronounce!) I’m a Malaysian, currently studying in the US. The reason I started this blog in 2011 is to share the information I know and to voice out my analyses or opinions towards any issues. I’m a person who loves to talk. So perhaps blogging is the right platform to express my thoughts.

As you can see, I posted a lot of random stuff on my blog since the first day I started blogging. Most of the posts here are heavily related to sports. Some posts related to aviation and aerospace, some related to my personal experiences, and occasionally a few involving politics and government. I would not change much of what I had done here. What I’m looking forward to do this year is to update my blog more frequently. Perhaps some short posts or stories to keep this blog updating.

I’m fully aware that the writings I produced are not the best. But think again, isn’t this the whole aim of blogging? The opportunity to write and learn every day? So, I hope whoever is reading this right now, regardless of which part of the world are you from, will enjoy the information/materials I shared here. Enjoy your reading! Thank You!

[Badminton] Marching to Rio

Victory in Malaysia means Lee Chong Wei is back on track, but the race to Rio remains wide open. As the shuttle from Chen Long sailed long behind the backline, Lee Chong Wei raised his arms high into the air, signalling to the home crowd the moment of the victory. His 11th Malaysian Men’s Singles title, a timely boost for his confidence after suffering two early exits in the last two tournaments. Although it wasn’t a competitive match as many predicted, nevertheless it was a comprehensive and convincing win for Malaysia’s badminton superstar. The victory over Chen Long also means that Chong Wei has levelled their head to head record to twelve a piece, having also won the last two meetings at China and Hong Kong in November. While Sunday’s performance wasn’t the best from Chen Long, struggling badly with the drift inside Melawati Stadium, the three victories over Chen Long signals that Chong Wei might have found the exact game plan to expose Chen Long’s weaknesses. Similar to victor...

The Nadal-Djokovic Rivalry

               It was a five setter, an epic tennis match in which both men trying their best to outwit, outlast and outplayed their opponent. A grand slam tennis match between Nadal and Djokovic doesn’t disappoint all tennis fans. A battle not just only of skills; it is also a physical and mental battle that pushes both guys to the limit. The most impressive part was that even thought they were playing for more than 4 hours, both men were still able to hit beautiful shots and angled winners down the lines. Eventually, Nadal came on top this time beating Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-7, 9-7 in 4 hours and 37 minutes.                When the match was unfolding, I have a sudden thought that the process of the match developed almost identical as the final of the 2012 Australia Open. Djokovic won that match 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7, 7-5 in 5 hours 53 minutes. At that time, Djokovic was serving for the match in th...

The Low Cost Battle

             According to International Air Transport Association (IATA), air travel continues to expand in a healthy way. Compare to the same period in 2012, the overall demand for air travel increase 5.6%, while capacity rose by 5.2%. In the region of Asia Pacific, international traffic rose by 3.7% in May with China and Japan recorded 13.4% and 5.9% of growth in their respective domestic market. The statistics clearly show that air travel performed relatively well across the world despite the global economy facing some uncertainty.              Air Asia which is the largest low-cost airline group in Asia is slowly losing its ground to nearby rivals-Lion Air. According to Centre for Aviation (CAPA), Lion Air currently holds 35% of Southeast Asia’s capacity thanks to its extensive Indonesia domestic market. While, Air Asia has a 32% market share in the region with a mere 2% of the Indonesia domestic market. T...
