I did not manage to attend all matches. Very difficult , lah.

Here are some of Chen J from today. Everybody likes WCH. I think the crowd were secretly hoping WCH would pull off the win.

Didn't realise I had so many of him!

From near the end of the match

put the great Wong's pictures up!!!

please?

WCH wasted 4 match points, very bitter lost...........

Yea...but WCH has improved..Credits to him! :)

Hi Cheung, staying up late again to post pictures!! :) I know how hard it is to take action shots, specially guys who move fast, and just for that these pictures are great! Thanks again :)

put the great Wong's pictures up!!!

please?
So greedy. You got so many yesterday!! haha. He was injured yet still fought like a hero

oh i can never ever get enough of badminton pictures, especially if they are yours :D :D

Indonesia, Indonesia....

oh i can never ever get enough of badminton pictures, especially if they are yours :D :DAiyaa, such flattery! You're teasing me!

Alright, here's some of WCH. I know M'sians love the pics of their players. Today I did not get too many of his action shots (late arriving). M'sians should treasure him. He really tries his best even though injured.

You can really see him struggle. Hope these shots show it.

I m just watching the recording of that match. where the heck are u cheung? i can't find u on tv!!!:p

oops.....i can see u now! man in black right?:D

oops.....i can see u now! man in black right?:D
That's right;):eek:

wong choong hann is the best!!!!

hope he qualifies for olympics and makes a lasting impression there...

That's right;):eek:

As usual, great pictures, where are the rest MD and XD???

POOR WCH!!! i was really hoping he was going to win.. oh well..

I'm still feeling bad for WCH's loss. Poor WCH wasted 4 match points (20-18, 20-19, 21-20 & 22-21) but lucky CJ only needed one to take the match. Sigh...

Though unfortunate but it's better that Choon Hann terminated his fine run at SF as injury started to crawl in. We certainly do not want to see him suffer another devastating injury. The big picture is Olympic, not the "kachang puteh" Gold Series.
Furthermore, for selfish reason, isn't it more exciting to see the match up between Taufik vs Chen Jin and we don't need to make decision which side to support for :D
Taufik Boleh!

The big picture is Olympic, not the "kachang puteh" Gold Series.


I think u will say different thing for KKK/TBH or Choong/Lee. This "Kachang puteh" Gold Series title is important to them right :)

To be honest, although I am happy that both the Malaysians pairs won but I rather see KKK/TBH vs CY/FHF or CTF/LWW vs MK/HS in the final. I never really enjoy watching compatriots playing against one another, may be the poison left by the Chinese still lingering in my blood stream. We will see tonight. My guess is one of the Malaysia pair may chose to "walk" :D
I really don't want Choon Hann to re-injure again as he may still be the "main force" to help Chong Wei when Olympic comes. Hafiz has proven he's not the right candidate.
Taufik boleh AGAIN!

Yes, the Gold Series is important for MAS MD squad, because they haven't been performing well. The recent Chinese Taipei Open and this one is a journey of discovery, Besides, they need Rexy to smile and joke with them in training again. But then again, might as well not, these guys might play like clowns again. :p

This tournament is important for Taufik too, hope he is third time lucky and win it this time ...... in fact, I expect Taufik to win this comfortably. CJ doesn't have a complete MS game yet, notice how he cannot impose his game on an injured opponent after getting a W/O the previous round.

BTW, even the Super Series Grand Finals is "kacang puteh" compared to the Olympics, right? Only the World Championships, All-England and maybe Asian Games can be held in the same breath.

CJ? You mean like Peter Rasmussen against Sun Jun in 1997? Sun Jun down with cramp and he was still fighting for (and winning) points.

Somebody mentioned this guy;)

Taipei Open is definitely a "KACANG PUTIH" Tournament without the likes of KKK/TBH ; FU/CHAI / JE/MLH & TONY/CW etc...

TH was not so friendly late in the 2nd set because PSH complained a 3rd time to the referee about a line call. he shouted at PSH saying ".................................oh my god" where ............... was something i couldn't quite catch.



BTW, Cheung, do you take your photos with the Fuji f31 ?

Sorry, the Fuji isn't quite up to this:D
As for the Taufik being a little annoyed, I see no problem in that. Maybe his karma was a bit ruffled that day.

thats what i thought. the Fuji f31 is just a normal digicam right?
only a SLR could produce such focused and fine images.

Yup, I use a Canon 30D with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens.

Nice pics there again Cheung. PARK Sung Hwan admires Taufik. He is a fan of TH. And he enjoyed playing against him.

Thanks Ants

Found a nice one of CTF's expression.

One of my experiments with the 50/1.4. This lens doesn't seem to focus as fast compared to the 70-200/2.8. Perhaps the depth of focus has something to do with it?:confused:

I thought people were interested in the badminton..........:confused::rolleyes:

haha, who are these people?
