Mixed double, Women Single and Men Single pictures.

ZJ-GL (CHI) vs KKK-WPT (MAS) - MAS lost :(

JE-MS (DEN) vs France pair - DEN won.

XXF (CHI) - JJY (KOR) match Set 1 & 2. did not watch Set 3.
and Lin Dan (CHI) vs YKB (MAS) match was just started. Had to be away... got lunch wif gf !

Just curious, how many courts are there on the floor? Looks like quite a few.

There is only 6 courts. The Kuching stadium not that big.

Gessle,

I would have stayed in the hall till the Lin Dan match was over :D

YONEX stringing section... can u play wif 35lb tension? Not me!

some player pics...

some coach pics...
LJJ & LHJ (KOR) won their match against FRA pair - but the coach was not happy wif their performance!

lunch wif gf at Tun Jugah food court... bumped into FRANCE team!

end.

Hmmm, didn't the S'pore Open have only 5 courts? If that's the case, Sarawak Stadium must either be bigger or better configured.

gf :mad: already lo

Gessle,

I would have stayed in the hall till the Lin Dan match was over :D

Gessle.. try to be more stable when taking picture.. i'm having headache already looking at them. hehehe..

Ha ha, Pi Hongyan doesn't look too happy. Looks like you caught her with her mouth full. :D

Capacity - 4525 seats according to http://www.stadiumcorp.gov.my/versi_eng/perpad_faci.html

There is only 6 courts. The Kuching stadium not that big.

Yes. I will. I do feel :o when I post them.

Or switch to faster ISO on your camera :p

4525 is a good number for Kuching Indoor Stadium. I hope people will jam packed the stadium and make some noise! :). Its better to look jam packed than big but not packed.

Yes. I will. I do feel :o when I post them.

No need to feel :o . You did a great job already :) Thumbs up to you.

Gessle,
thanks for the new pics...yah, same also with ants, try to hold the camera steadier...if not, ants will have to fly out there and take over the photography chores..hehehe(j/k)..;):D
Oh, noticed in the lunch pic of team France, there is Weny R.(in the gray warmups)...They all attempted to smile, but seemed like Pi and the guy at the end didn't want to be bothered or were thinking "hurry up with the pic, we're still eating & don't bother us"..hehe;):) ...
BTW, are you uploading the pics from the venue or from home..sorry, i have to adjust the timing of the pics you posted with my time..:p

10s 4 d tips n encouragement. will go to the stadium again tonight.

oh, noticed in the lunch pic of team France, there is Weny R.(with a curly hair)...Tehy all attempted to smile, but seemed like either they didn't want to be bothered or were thinking "hurry up with the pic, we're still eating & don't bother us"..hehe;):) ...

I'm too lazy to take pics already. I had my small digicam when i was in SO. I didn't even bother to take any.

Haha! The French players seem enjoyed the foods very much.

Again, thanks for the pics. They are great :D

Note that Gao Ling got a new hair style...........hehe.

gessle,
i was wondering how you took da pic?is it u took da pic without their knowledge or u ask them first?some like yap kim hock,bonsak,..etc i think u ask them....but wat bout others?r u staying in sarawak?:confused:

Gessel : i know that the blue seats are reserved for the VIPs, invited guests and so on, but why are they so empty?

Jia you gessle!! Thanks for all the pics! Don't forget to take some of Fu/Cai and other Chinese players.. Ok? Thanks... Why don't u ask to take pics with the players instead of just snapping them on their own.. ;)

Gessle,

I would have stayed in the hall till the Lin Dan match was over :D

Does it mean you're not even there watching? Oh sorry, you're in Sabah not Sarawak! ;)

Gessle.. try to be more stable when taking picture.. i'm having headache already looking at them. hehehe..

kekeke.. perhaps use faster speed & higher ISO will help ;)

Gessle, nice off-court pics. Keep it up. Did you talk to any of the players?

10s 4 d tips n encouragement. will go to the stadium again tonight.

Its really a bit rude to take pictures of people when they are eating. They might not decline out of courtesy but its still not so nice. Imagine not having any peace even when you eat, it can get a bit irritating. :D

Haha! The French players seem enjoyed the foods very much.
That's quite right, and no need to be a professional player for that.
My club's trainer is malaysian and once he cooked some malaysian food for us and it was really really good.:)

Thanks G!

I've always wanted to say that. :D It's an American inside joke/slang. :p

Does it mean you're not even there watching? Oh sorry, you're in Sabah not Sarawak! ;)

Yep Loh, you are correct...

say when do I get to claim my prize?

Great pics! One of the picture show a WD team not wearing the same uniform/shirt. They were playing with Thailand WD team. If that's the kind of prepareness they got, I don't think they will win. It's all in the details.

Edited: I looked at the background, noticed that it is the Denmark WD team. Score 7 vs 9.

come on ,Chinese players!

THANK YOU!!!!! those pics are really really really nice! more than happy to see the chinese players!!! same as seawell, jia you!!!

Besides sporting events, the Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS) also caters for concerts, conventions, family entertainment like ice skating shows, circuses etc. As such the SIS stage is configurable depending on the requirements of the organiser.

A bigger centre stage to hold more badminton courts will mean less seating capacity and vice versa. The maximum seating capacity is more than 10,000.
