Roslin is just unpredictable. U never know.:cool:

[haifeng4ever]

Dream match for tomorrow: KKK/TBH vs JJS/LYD. The most anticipated match. KKK/TBH finally got the chance to meet the pair which they wanted to beat so much. Of course I'll be rooting for KKK/TBH.:D:D:D

[abedeng]

Hauge n Taufik-ist/Samuel,

U da men!!! Just came back from my breaking of fast event myself .....

[Misty100]

is not funny at all!!!!!

Glad to know you realised that "you're not funny". So dude, stop asking those questions over and over again. All the answers are already been posted over and over again by many of our good b'cers here. Only if you would take the trouble and browse thru' them, and spare us all the agony and this ridicule wouldn't even be posted here. Thanks!

[abedeng]

Roslin is just unpredictable. U never know.:cool:

It will be defence vs attack, then. Much as I would like Roslin to win, Taufik is fired up to win his 1st title after fatherhood, after two heartbreaking near misses .....

Good luck to both, hope it's a great match tomorrow ....

Hauge, make sure u add some commentary of the match ...... :D

[Darien]

wat about KKK/TBH?? :D:D
i fink they will bt the korean pair.....
i strongly doubt about it :rolleyes:

[Jessica]

[badMania]

is not funny at all!!!!!

Its' THE TRUTH! Do your homework before crying for results here....

[abedeng]

i strongly doubt about it :rolleyes:

So do I, but it would be nice to be proven wrong and get KKK/TBH back on the rebound.

[blackrose]

GO GO ROSLIN!

WOW.....!!! Last time, Roslin jointed Taufik in SGS Elektrik Bandung Club in Indonesian League. This is they meet in the court was enemies. In record, Roslin difficult to beat Taufik. Olympic Champion won 3-0. Whatever, tournament performance may be can give more advantage to Roslin beat Taufik this time.

[robin7]

i strongly doubt about it :rolleyes:
This is discouraging.:rolleyes: Anyway, a win for Koo/Tan tomorrow will definitely boost their confidence.

I think commentary would be rather difficult, cos' Hau-ge is at the stadium watching "live". He is communicating with us all thru' taufik-ist and samuel, knowingly his enthusism, he would be totally engrossed with every match... LOL :p :)

[nwy5633]

100% koo/tan will win..
juz to make them got a win record against all top player..
koo really wan this win badly..
if tan wan too, they will win!

[abedeng]

This is discouraging.:rolleyes: Anyway, a win for Koo/Tan tomorrow will definitely boost their confidence.

I don't think this is meant to be discouraging. Generally, to rebound means taking a few small steps back to the top. Like LCW, he had Misbun's coaching for 3 months and a few q-final/early round losses before winning INA SS.

But I agree, a victory of WC runnersup will be a huge step forward ..... and it's not like they are not capable of doing just that.

No problem, he can update us later ..... any match with Taufik in it would be worth commentating. Besides, he has my number if he needs to call ...... :D

chen hong (chn) bt ken limm (mas) 21:19,12:18[/QUOTE]

Great match for MJ from the scoreline. He seems to have given CH a run for his money, losing narrowly in both sets.

BCL (chn) bt hong ji hoo (kor) 21:17,21:11

[vching]

aiyooo.... LHI LHI.... why you always lose to Chen Jin...

[vching]

27 15 means 27-25 21-15 perhaps?

[vching]

or maybe 27 15 is a typo - its supposed to be 27-25?

[taufik-ist]

sorry guys.. i misread :)

Thanks for scoreline arfan...

[Cheung]

grand prix gold tournament updates scores manually? ohmygosh... even the 1980s games had eletronic scoreboards...

Macau open was held last year. Before that, I haven't heard of a macau open before. There was a smaller, satellite tournament in Macau but that did not offer many world ranking points.

If Macau can continue to sponsor badminton, there may be upgrading in facilities.:D

Anyway, play should not continue if the score is wrongly displayed.

[Erikku]

WCH(MAS) vs C.BAO(CHN)
ROSLIN(MAS) vs TAUFIK(INA)

its hard to malaysians to win in quater final! but all the best lucks to then :)

Great Blogs.. bTW, it is MACAU, not MACAO ;)

INA sending their ace, it would be a disaster if TH failed to advance to final.. :D:D
MAS ... Top 2 MS singles were absent ;)

[vching]

Great Blogs.. bTW, it is MACAU, not MACAO ;)

but when i put Macau, the spell check says its wrong... when i say Macao the spell check said correct lol

[Cheung]

Hello Guys,,

I would like to thank Taufik-ist/Samuel for my WIFI>..hehe

Also we need to thank Fastdrop to help me to get score here and there....

Honestly it is tough to watch 4 courts and write the score at the same time...also since they display the score manualy on once side...it is hard to see the score at all..you have to move a lot which it was impossible...

I was lucky to get STAFF pass as well as Fastdrop..basically we can move and gol anywhere we like but we stuck on wirting scores...hehe....

It is that they VIP room to serve food, snack, drink...etc...no beer though...

Forget to add on yesterday MD
Gan Teik Chai actually broke his rackets during the decider , when the score was 6-5 in their favor..
Hopes his new rackets can bring him more lucks in today QF :)
In JO, LCW tested which rackets to use for rest of match after a few points.IN sf against LD, he was trailing in G1 until he changed his rackets.He did that in msf vs TH but he wasn't trailing.Great way to show he knows his stuff.And that he won't be giving discounts.

Singapore's Md had 5 match points wasted against the Mal pair even with Eng Hian at the side:crying::crying::crying:Li li bitterly lost and highly regarded xing aiying by SBA and singapore media lost to hk player by the score of 4-21 last game:crying::crying::crying:
Latest, the last Xd pair of li yu lia and saputra also lost to less known Taipei pair:eek::crying::crying::crying:

Except for tournament strung rackets. LCW strings his own racket. He prefer that because he knows his equipment well and want the feel that he wants in his strings. Only when the strings are broken in the tournament.. then his racket will be strung by the stringer on site.

LD wasted 8 match points against LCW in MO06? with LYB and all the CHN coaches at the side. What would you call LD? Greatest choker in badminton?Xing aiying has done well.She just needs more match experience. The TPE players have improved in the past year and will pose a challenge to any opponent. I'm happy for TPE. SIN has also improved;they just lost to better players this time. They'll do better next time.

[OneToughBirdie]

wat do u think????;)
I think something fishy is in the works...or your cooking is just simply awesome, err...I mean cooking with fish and you want to show off your culinary skills to Hauge...just innocent and friendly gesture I guess...except for those with dirty minds that may think differently...hehehe!!! LOL!!! :p:D;)

JOEL & KHUYEN WIN THEIR ‘COLOURS’

Wednesday, 17 Oct 2007
http://www.badmintonasia.org/gallery/Macau%20Open%202007/SNC12372.jpgThe recently concluded Macau Grand Prix Gold was a great success. For a nation as small and fairly inexperienced in the ways of organizing high profile tournaments, Macau can give itself a pat-on-the-back for a job well done. Of course, much of any organizational success is due to various inputs – player participation, spectator response, sponsor involvement, media exposure and discipline. Macau was fortunate that most things fell in place to ensure a smoothly run tournament and everyone returned home quite content.

The reward for the success must surely go to an efficient organizing committee. After just one year’s experience of playing host to a GP Gold, the Macau BA under the leadership of Kong Tat Choi ensured that the lessons leant last year were not cast to the waste-bin. The end result was a presentation that won high praise from everyone, notably Karen Koh, the chief operating officer of Badminton Asia Confederation. “I was delighted at the manner the tournament was run and I extend the appreciation of my president and the EXCO to the president and council of the Macau BA.”http://www.badmintonasia.org/gallery/Macau%20Open%202007/P1000297.jpg

Much of Karen’s delight could be attributed to the outstanding ‘performance’ of her two ‘adoptees’ - Joel Mabborang of the Philippines and Nguyen Quang Kieu Khuyen of Vietnam. Joel and Khuyen were assigned as Match Controllers to the Macau GP Gold. This was their first assignment in that capacity and they came through with flying colours.

Mohan Dharan, Badminton World Federation referee who was in Macau to conduct an umpires’ course, was full of praise for the two youngsters. “I watched them at work. Considering that this was their first assignment, they did extremely well. I was very impressed. They understood their responsibility as Match Controllers and teamed up well to discharge their duties. Their commitment was absolute and I congratulate them for a job well done.”

http://www.badmintonasia.org/gallery/Macau%20Open%202007/Match%20Controllers%20with%20Referees%20at%20MAC%2 0Open%202.jpgSimilar complements were expressed by technical and match officials who had the pleasant occasion of meet up with them. Maria Carvallo, a vice president of the Macau BA and a mainstay in the organizing success, was full of praise. “I was skeptical of course at the beginning because they were both new to this important responsibility. But once they got going - their teamwork, exuberance, energy and public relation was simply absorbing. I was very impressed and I thank them for playing an important role in making our tournament as success. The Philippines and Vietnam BAs can be proud of them.”

Indeed so, is the silent response from Karen who explained, “Both these boys are products of our development programme. Along with a third youngster, Samir from Nepal, Joel and Khuyen had spent some weeks at the BAC secretariat in Kuala Lumpur to familiarize themselves to the daily workings of an office as well as the more intricate and important responsibility of event management, the formalities of Rankings and Draw and the use of related IT software. These needed specialized training and they were able to gain much technical knowledge on them through hands-on exercises with BAC and BWF officials in Kuala Lumpur.”

Joel and Khuyen have passed their first ‘test’ with flying colours. And what happens now? “We are delighted at the turn of events in Macau,” they echoed together. “Of course we were nervous at the start. This was our first major assignment and we just could not fail. We believe the trust and faith we had in each other’s ability, was one of the winning formulas. We also thank the wonderful officials we were working with. They were so willing to share their experience with us. And of course, nothing of this would have been possible if our associations had not accepted BAC’s invitation for us to attend training sessions in Kuala Lumpur. That was really the turning point.”http://www.badmintonasia.org/gallery/Macau%20Open%202007/Match%20Controlers%20at%20work%20at%20Macau%20Open %202.jpg

Joel and Khuyen directed their final words at Karen. “We owe everything to Karen. She is our mentor. She has been kind, patient and tolerant, willing to spare time from her usually busy administrative duties to guide us and teach us. She is so very inspiring. In return we can only promise her that we will not disappoint her. We will continue to work hard and realize our cherished dream of being proficient in our area of responsibility. We aim to be the pride to our respective federations and the BAC.”

The BAC development programme to train young people to attain high proficiency has started off well with the likes of Joel, Khuyen and Samir setting the pace. Later in the year, it plans to invite personnel from three other member federations for similar training in Kuala Lumpur. This is an on-going programme to help strengthen the workings of the secretariat of members of the regional body.
