OMGGGGGGGGG!!! Everyone looks good there! I love your pics!

Where are pic 1-3 taken?
Pic 4 for at Birmingham uni?
Pic 5 at Jury'ss Inn.. Hahahahahaha so obvious.

Pic 1-3 was in the breakfast room at the Jury's Inn. I always feel so rude asking for pics at breakfast....but had to do it for BCs sake haha

Thanks for the picture and XZB is really a giant man! :eek:

He's big but I'm just kinda short that's all...

we were drink a Malaysian Isotonic drink called 100Plus (I'm sure all players from Malaysia will know of it). Not really endorsing it but just thought it would be funny...

Oh I see! So cool! For BC's sake. LOL. I try to go next year! I will try my best.. Hihihi.

Hey I have a question, where is Cai Yun? Hahaha

He was still busy eating his breakfast. Besides, my mandarin isn't all that great so we didn't really speak to him...

Jury's Inn? not Novotel? I booked novotel then found there isn't any ticket for AE2008 left... what a shame

I am sure 1000 plus will be very happy and they will send you more for endorsement.........:D:D

MAS and SIN players stayed there.......

I'm sure you did hear his voice but he's growing up now and his voice may be somewhat different to last year and the year before :p

Where do you people find them?!

I met Donna Kellog and Nathan Robertson in Sainsbury's right before their matches, but didn't have their pictures taken. Didn't see any asian players :(

If you go to B'ham's Chinatown you'll be able to bump into almost all Asian players... :eek: Or else, beside their hotels, you can try some casinos near their hotels too. :rolleyes:

You must have heard him!
Everyone heard him.

He sat next to me on Friday night for the Lin Dan match, he was shouting so loud he nearly gave some old man a heart attack! ;)

:)

I have a few player pics but I haven't had a chance to down load them yet.
I will try to post them over the next couple of days! :)

Hehe, yeah that was me! I am glad you saw me, that is very funny. :D

I touched hands with all of the winners except for the Korean ladies who were holding flags and trophies and didn't have a spare hand!

Chen Jin and I are old friends, I bumped into him at breakfast 2 days in a row as well. ;)

you didnt tell me you and chen jin were old friends :O! (this is hao btw) lucky for being able to so close to the action, not that i would want your job after the heat you get from some of the players

After request from Jason

Nice. Staying at Jury's Inn next year then!!

Jason's pic with Lin Dan is really cute. Love it!

*Hey, what's up with that half-hearted "v" sign & smile by Jason??..:confused: ;)

Which day and where did you have the photos taken. Look like you both quite serious. Maybe you didn't know her that well?

Yeah I can't believe that someone else muscled in on my shot! :crying:

tsk tsk, that's what you get for trying to hog all the superstars.
looks like you cornered LD in a corridor leading to the rooms, that's a much better place to take photos without interruptions.

Yeah I thought it was very funny when I looked at the picture and realised I was taller than him. :eek:

It was the first time I had met her, but I'm sure she will remember me next time. ;)

All the pictures were taken in the Jurys Inn on the morning of finals day.

Yeah I tried to grab LD before he got in the lift but didn't quite manage it, so I followed him up in the lift.

I bumped into Reiko at breakfast on Saturday morning. Oh my god she is so cute! :eek:
I left half of my breakfast and rushed back to my room to get my camera but by the time I got back she had gone. She wasn't there on the Sunday. :crying:

you muppet! :eek::eek:
that'll teach you to leave your camera in the room, when you staying in the same hotel with all the players, always have your camera with you!

If you dont have camera.. always use the phone camera. :)

I know, I will never make that mistake again, I couldn't believe it I was only gone two minutes! Gutted doesn't even come close to describing it!:crying:

Were there people waiting and looking for a chance to take pictures with LD/XXF at the inn all the time?

I'm sure she will recognize you next time for being taller than everyone else.

Not all the time, but there was usually quite a few people around breakfast time, 8-10 am.

No sadly not. :(
I was queuing behind her to get milk and she turned round and I thought wow she is really cute and then I realised oh my god it Reiko. She is so much cuter in real life!
I was too shocked and nervous to say anything and just stared at her like an idiot! Doh!

It was just after he got out of the lifts on the 9th floor of the hotel.
I think he was on his way to his room, there was a young teenager who was with him, I think he had asked him for a shirt or something. ;)

Bao Chunlai is 191cm, you are even taller....

Yes, I am a very tall arse.
6 foot 4. I don't know what that is in new money, I think it is about 193 cm. :p
