Datuk Lee Chong Wei flew to Paris with his family last weekend for “the Paris 100 Sino-French Badminton Charity Gala” that was in conjunction with the 100 day countdown of the Paris Olympics. Simultaneously, he also celebrated his son, Kingston’s 11th birthday.
However, after a weekend of fun and cakes, his journey back home was disrupted by an unexpected turn of events when his flight was delayed due to the flood taking place in Dubai. Their inability to transit to Dubai International Airport has left the family stranded in the city of love for another day and in this state, the renowned Malaysian badminton player began to crave for some soul food.
“Stuck in Paris.I miss Nasi Lemak,” The three time medallist wrote on his Instagram story, alongside a picture of him sitting tiredly. When contacted by Timesport, he revealed that he had tried alternative arrangements but to no avail as most flights were canceled. Luckily, the Lee family are scheduled to fly back to Malaysia by today (Monday, 22nd April))
Aside from yearning for the national meal, Chong Wei also expressed how much he misses his youngest son, Anson, who didn’t join the trip. He wrote “still in Paris, See you soon Anson”, showing a picture of his young toddler. Later in the evening, he stated in another story post, “Anson boy, you are a brave boy, Papa Mama miss you already,”
According to his latest Instagram story post today, the former athlete is still at Charles de Gaulle airport, currently waiting for his flight while his sons enjoy their cotton candies. Hopefully, Chong Wei can enjoy his Nasi Lemak very soon.
