Indonesian team, So sad...:crying::crying::confused::confused::(:(

The players look sad, but i hope they can bounce back in Beijing OG.

[Qidong]

It's over 100F here, and watching these player wearing long sleeve jacket in Jakata. :eek: Isn't it always super hot in Indonesia, or the air conditioning is too strong inside the stadium?

[ctjcad]

..i'm sure the temp in Jakarta is hot & humid but not inside. At least a comfortable temp. And not only the players, but also other dignitaries, officials etc. wore long sleeved clothes. And i don't recall seeing the fans, watching, using fans to cool themselves.:cool: Our BC members, watching, also didn't complain about the temperature inside the hall; if i recall, one mentioned, it probably got a bit too cold..;)

If I organized the TC/UC, I would have turned off all the air, and maybe even turned the heater on. People like LD, Cai/Fu are from the north, and same to Koreans. They are not used to the heat. :D:D INA players should have no problem with the heat. :D:D

they have sexy legs:D

[ctjcad]

..looks so united as both the men and women are so supportive each other, which speaks very loud about their teams' success.:cool:
In the Korean team's interview session pics, is that the interpreter sitting in between the KOR's team's manager and LYD & JJS??...Looks like LYD looked confused/a bit lost out there??..

[Erwin Kyoto]

Rani Mundiasti pictures pleaseeeeee

[ctjcad]

If I organized the TC/UC, I would have turned off all the air, and maybe even turned the heater on. People like LD, Cai/Fu are from the north, and same to Koreans. They are not used to the heat. :D:D INA players should have no problem with the heat. :D:D
...with the air con blasting away, (and our BCers enjoying the nice, comfy atmosphere;)), they are also having a similar situation as in the 2005 WC, here in Anaheim, with the air con draft.
Is this a new occurrence in the Senayan hall?? Or has this been occurring before in previous Indonesian Opens??..Krisna, or other INA BCers can share??..

[funnymei89]

..funnymei89 should stick to 1 target....the more, the pening she'll get..;)


seriously,i am pening now.....should i just stick to one ah...haih....hahaha...actually i see him on tv,i feel he is just so great...so powerful...but then when i think back,he is evil...haa.

[Go_Green]

Maybe it's just the perspective, but FHFs left arm seems to be massively bigger than his right, looks very awkward.
I like the shirts, especially on LD.

the china jersey looks too awkward on xie zb and guo zd. lol.

Thomas And Uber Cup at Istora senayan...:D:D

I am proud to say that I was able to get fresh Thomas Cup DNA aka touching the Cup. :D Was thinking of taking it away but Hauge was close by, ready to block my exit ...... :eek:

In the end, the Cup flew off to China again. :crying:

[azabaz_ipoh]

I would say I almost never seen LYB ever taken off his hat. :rolleyes: I really doubt it's that he tries to show disrespect, but rather a hobby. Maybe he's trying to hide away the hair lost? :p

endang is in the back row number 5 from left

rani is in the front row number 1 from right

hihihihihihi both of them are cute

[Loh]

It was a masterful win by LCW which left LD completely outclassed.
Here shows the last few points of the match and LCW sank to his knees in total disbelief.

Final score: LCW won 21-12, 21-14.

[Loh]

When LCW gave Malaysia an unexpected but convincing win over LD for point no.1, high hopes were placed on KKK/TBH to take point no.2. This would have caused great concern to the China camp. But Cai Yu and Fu Haifeng would not give in and won back a point for China to make it 1-1, beating the Malaysian pair quite easily in straight games of 21-16, 21-17.

[hFang]

..it's more of a habit, rather than a hobby;)..I wonder if he also goes to sleep still wearing the cap or not??..hmmm...
Btw, you saw a full head of hair, didn't you, hFang??..:) ;)

Several questions were asked about LYB's hat.

I can tell you it is not near his head now it is in the South of England.

He an I did a cap wap after the Thomas Cup Final.

It now has a place in my collection.
