Videography not allowed? Only the players had the privilege to record matches....

Scoreboard software glitch in the last photo... umpires had to keep score on paper...

[JaCk™]

Yeah la.. that time we were always digging for TBH pics.. so happy if we found a single small-sized pic in any website.. Now his pics are everywhere..

Erin, our friends Pri and the guy with very bad internet connection *ahem* are in Sealman's pics too.. :p Look damn funny.

Anyway, love your pics Sealman.. got even more??? :eek: Please share all with us.:D

...Sealman..indeed they bring a different view..Quite amusing also that you took most of them with players either holding, sms-ing or talking on their handphones..:p
Btw, is that Nova and his lovely bride, sitting together, in one of the pic??..:confused:
Ah, and the stringers look so comfortable sitting on those chairs...:p;)

yeah Ctjcad it's Eny Widiomati, Nova's wife :)
She's a mixed double players, she was in the sydney's OG team in 2000.
I remember something with about eny, when i asked her why she doesn't play mixed double with Nova, she replied me no no we will fight if we play together ! ahahaha :D :D
She's a nice girl, i was really sad when she was crying because she had to leave france ... :crying: :crying:

[Dreamzz]

hahaha, i believe that off court pics are actually more fun to view, it puts a different perspective on the players.

Sealman,

not sure if it is appropriate for me to mention this, but isn't she a little bit young to be your gf??? ;)

[cao ci dan]

why are these rackets being returned? inconsistent serial numbers? hahaha..

[Sealman]

Some of the pros are still using MP88s and MP99s. There's a AT900T with overgrip wrapped upto the shaft, which I guess belongs to Sigit. Was wondering if the reel of strings is BG65?

Yeah.. I understand you Tarek.. One day when my Asian badminton player friends from Europe go back to Asia, I will be very sad too.. :crying: :crying: :crying:
Anyway, congratz on their wedding again..

Sealman,

:D isnt she cute... this child was totally engrossed in her own world... not interested in Boonsak, Cai or Fu... Her parents, i believe, play in local tournaments... perhaps this child will follow her parents' footsteps in the near future and we might even see a future Singapore champion :)

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, she is so cute. so focused on whatever it is in her hands. ribbons or something. he eh eh.
