Living In The Eighties

Assalamualaikum w.b.t,

This blog I made as a personal use to keep my memories back in the old good time especially in the 80's when I live in Ipoh. Friends, families and others who are interest and grown in the 80's are welcome to surf on in this site.

The era of the 80's was the most memorable moments of my life. There's happy and sad moment that I could'n forget. It's not because I'm not happy with my life currently. It's different cause that time when we are still kids, didn't have any heavy obligations, just plays, studies, getting fun and live with my loveble families. Besides, I still have my parents which I miss so much.

Here, most of the stories or article are around the 80's that I include a stories and history of that era along with the photo's or video clips. I also include several songs from the 60's and 70's with world wide history.There are also a photo's of my hometown, school's, places, family and friends that are related with me in the 80's.

Besides loving listening to music and watching films, I'm also an active sports person specially in football and badminton. I'm a biggest fan of old time articles or stories whether on event, persons, a legends or whatever related with history.

It's been since 1990 that I left Green Town, Ipoh and working in Kuala Lumpur. I can't imagine that i will live, stay and grown a family here in Kuala Lumpur, the biggest and a capital city in Malaysia. Still, the old fond memories of past days is still in my heart.
Hopefully it's will call our memories in the 80's which so wonderful and awesome.

Svend Pri 'Mat Salleh Otai' Yang Cekal

Svend Pri dengan ketinggian 5'8 adalah pemain utama Denmark era 60 dan 70'an. Pri cuba untuk memecahkan dominasi Indonesia dan malaysia dalam badminton dunia. Setelah dua kali mencuba dalam All England 1970,72 tetapi gagal kepada Rudy Hartono, akhirnya dalam usia 30 tahun beliau akhirnya berjaya mendakap gelaran All England dengan menewaskan musuh ketatnya Rudy Hartono yang sekaligus menamatkan penguasaan Hartono dalam All England 7 tahun berturut-turut.Mengenai Svend Pri, Rudy Hartono menyatakan 

"During my heyday, my main rival was Svend Pri of Denmark. He ended my winning streak in the All-England. The biggest disappointment was at the 1973 Thomas Cup on home ground. Indonesia defeated Denmark 8-1. Unfortunately, the only defeat was mine. I lost to Svend. It was heart-wrenching,” he recalled.
Pri juga layak ke akhir kejohanan dunia 1977 tetapi tewas kepada rakannya yang lebih muda Flemming Delfs. Svend Pri turut mengetuai Denmark dalam Piala Thomas 1979 tapi  tewas kepada Indonesia di final.
