Side news during IO Open

[huangkwokhau]

On the way to Jakarta from Singapore, we were in the same flight with DENMARK team.
Since the flight was full....SQ staff was so concerned about the heavy carry on like Racket bags...so SQ Staff asked Gade, Nova, Simon to surrender their bags....Gade refused it as some of them had gone in with their bags...with some heated arguments, Gade and Nova surrendered but Simon sneaked in with his bag...:D:D Gade got mad and SQ staff went inside the cabin to find more bags...She got TINE's but not Simon's and others...:D:D Gade shaked his head.

[demolidor]

[badMania]

Just back to Jakarta last week and enjoyed some good meals in Senayan City as usual.

Ticket to DPS is freaking expensive. My sister got a last min ticket for Rp 2.5m :o That's even more expensive than her ticket from HKG to CGK, which is just below HK$2k.

[FuWang]

Senayan City is the best shopping mall........ Also bigger than Plaza Senayan........ Of course more complete of branded things.......

[badMania]

:D Will he reach 10,000 by the end of the tournament?? Thanks for the side news :cool:.

Senayan City?? Isn't Plaza Senayan "better". Well I guess more shops are open now since it was just new when I was there ...

I would say that Senayan City is more compact and perhaps more suitable for teens and young adults :D I love SenCi...probably more than PS....

[badMania]

Senayan City is the best shopping mall........ Also bigger than Plaza Senayan........ Of course more complete of branded things.......

Are u sure it's bigger??? I think PS is bigger....

[Sealman]

Also just found out that Eric Pang's mother is also Indonesian ( from Bandung too) and his father is from Singapore...

I heard from a friend that Eric Pang had gone for selection trials at SBA but not was selected.

[FuWang]

I think SenCy is bigger le..... Coz everytime I walk @ PS, it's seem like no where to look arround and don't need an hour, I can go all arround PS, but when in SenCy, I walk until I feel tired, still missed some places that I didin't look......

"Sorry for my poor English"

[jimbo]

I heard from a friend that Eric Pang had gone for selection trials at SBA but not was selected.

haha... a "senior" FT (Foreign Talent)? :eek::p SBA wont take accept the "senior" FT lah... they will only scout for young fresh bloods from INA and CHN so that they can claim the "credibility"... :rolleyes:

[george@chongwei]

[extremenanopowe]

With regards to the rackets on board. Seems to have some inconsistent rules. Some airlines doesn't allow rackets to be brought up. I am surprised SQ allows it.

[ants]

Are u sure it's bigger??? I think PS is bigger....

Big or not.. Jakarta is not the best place to shop for branded.

[Dreamzz]

[abedeng]

[Krisna]

YES...and Yao Jie can drink beer too....:D:D even I heard that ZN can drink too for sure...

I heard Yao Jie was expelled from China due to drug-use... :o Beer might be the lightest item in the menu for her... Holland should be the perfect country for her. Very tolerant towards drug-use... ;)

[tommy_bun]

Park Joo Bong said Jakarta is very hot

[tommy_bun]

[huangkwokhau]

Petr Koukal and Wacha are close buddies and I believe they train together...

[huangkwokhau]

The attendance on 1st day was really good...may be it is school holiday. so many ABG( anak baru gede) or just growing up kids made so many noises especially on Simon, BCL, Gade...it was good atmosphere

[huangkwokhau]

Feeling sad that no Coffee Bean and Baskin Robin stands in Istora..

[samuel882]

Betrayal... :eek::rolleyes:

[Krisna]

Yesterday I notice around 500+ ABG girls [teenage girls] were shouting for Bao and even had Bao Chun Lai banners... Today, we can possibly see 1000+...

[karina keynes]

is it true that fu/cai will not play in IO ?

[xXazn_romeoXx]

yes, i saw the draws on tournamentsoftware..seems like they withdrew...

[karina keynes]

omg !!

geez, lotsa CHN players withdrew
:crying::crying::crying::crying:

[xXazn_romeoXx]

Are you one of the 500+ rabid ABG girls as described by Krisna;)

[xXazn_romeoXx]

Are you one of the 500+ rabid ABG girls as described by Krisna;)

lol..rabid...sounds ferocious...

[karina keynes]

Are you one of the 500+ rabid ABG girls as described by Krisna;)

Yup ! That's rite :D

[madbad]

Yup ! That's rite :D

OK, make sure you don't run over Krisna, Hauge and fabcargo when you're stampeding towards Bao. BC needs them as our eyes and ears at the IO. ;):D

[Krisna]

lol..rabid...sounds ferocious...

You know what, I think 70% of the crowd yesterday were females... :) And they were ferocious! :eek: :p You know Bao has entered the court when you hear AAAaaaaaaaaa! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :p followed by scattered shouts of "Bao Chun Lai!" "Bao Chun Lai!" :p Fun crowd.

Joachim Persson also was quite popular. He kept displaying his abs and topless body around the player's sitting area in the stadium. :p And, unlike Bao, he is not shy at all. Bao only wave to the fans briefly. Joachim went all the way at the waving fans and took photos with them... topless, of course. :p Then the men started shouting "bugil bugil bugil!" :p

Later on last night, Joachim went to the Djarum booth and apparently hit on the models there... I guess he is a healthy red-blooded Dane. :p The models wanted to take pictures with him, but nobody brought any camera. Somebody shouted "kalau mau mejeng ama si bugil, punya modal dikit dong! Paling nggak, punya kamera..." Bugil, gotta bring your stuff! At least have a camera..."

Note: Bugil stands for Bule Gila -crazy white dude- in today's Indonesian slang, but bugil also means naked in proper Indonesian vocabulary... The dual meaning of the word makes it very funny to say bugil... :p

[Krisna]

Yup ! That's rite :D

Nice to meet you, Karina... :)

...
..with the chants of "Bao Chun Lai! Bao Chun Lai!", echoed by the "Aaaaa! Eeeee!" screams, reverberating the hall for Bao Bao's entrance, i wonder if the fans will shout out "Bu-gil! Bu-gil! Bu-gil! Ayo Bu-giiiiil!" the next time Jonas struts in to play his match....hmm..:rolleyes: ;)

[CLELY]

Yesterday I notice around 500+ ABG girls [teenage girls] were shouting for Bao and even had Bao Chun Lai banners... Today, we can possibly see 1000+...

Hmm, BCL has loyal fanbase here based on his outlook package. No wonder he almost never misses INA Open. Thx Krisna to share inside Istora story...

[jimbo]

just curious, did they play the song "satu nusa satu bangsa"? honestly, i really miss this song... even nicer than "we r the champion" or "we will rock U" :D

[ssertere]

Note: Bugil stands for Bule Gila -crazy white dude- in today's Indonesian slang, but bugil also means naked in proper Indonesian vocabulary... The dual meaning of the word makes it very funny to say bugil... :p

Yesss... Keep saying Bugil... since they don't know what does it mean... ;)

[ssertere]

Why don't you searching on the internet for mp3 of this song?? :cool:

[jimbo]

Why don't you searching on the internet for mp3 of this song?? :cool:

U think I didnt? :rolleyes: The song played in Istora (with the INA fans) is very electrifying. Do u get this kinda of thrill by listening to the mp3 on ur iPods? :cool:

[ssertere]

Bao spent 10 minutes in the stadium taking photos and shaking hands with fans [the ABG, teeny-boppers] after his match today. Unlike yesterday when he was very shy....

[Krisna]

Reiko and Kumiko cried [and sat silently looking very sad] for around 20 minutes at the player's training area after they lost to Mel-Shendy... I think I saw their coach [Park Joo Bong's assistant from China] cried too...

[madbad]

Haha, you're alive. You obviously did not get in the way of the Bao stampede. :D:D

[Krisna]

Haha, you're alive. You obviously did not get in the way of the Bao stampede. :D:D

Somehow Hau-ge, fabcargo, and I survived after shouting "Vietnam" and "Nguyen" throughout the match... :p In opposition to the screaming Bao-girls! :D

They were so worried that Nguyen almost destroyed their idol... :p They looked very nervous and screamed hysterically at every point! *actually, in typical Indonesian fashion, they scream hysterically during every stroke or even before the stroke was executed* :p

[huangkwokhau]

Spotted many players bought many of DVD copies....hehe..they are smart too...they bought CD wallet and threw out the cover and just put the discs inside CD wallets....

[belagabego]

@huangkwokhau (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/member.php?u=25150)

wakakkakakkakakakkakaa.....

where they bought illegal DVD, glodok ? ambasador ? off course they wont bought it at Senayan city :-P

[taufik-ist]

Spotted many players bought many of DVD copies....hehe..they are smart too...they bought CD wallet and threw out the cover and just put the discs inside CD wallets....

you mean illegal/pirated dvds :rolleyes: :D

[huangkwokhau]

Now Hotel Sultan will not allow fans waiting and stalking the players...they turned away everyone...still some aere able to find the way to get in and pose with their idols...

[arumdaun]

hahahahahahaahah that is the exact trick that i do when i travelled with pirated dvds...wleehehehehe

They always cry whenever they suffered a bad lost and much so to lower ranked players. Not that they underestimated their opponents. Its just that they expected too much from themselves to win that match. They will be fine the next day. Don't worry too much.

[Krisna]

[Krisna]

Pak Sutiyoso, PBSI Head, scolded Sigit Pamungkas, Christian Hadinata, and Lius Pongoh in the Istora Private VIP room on the total Pelatnas loss in MD... right after the Kido-Hendra loss...

[ants]

It is not right to scold them. Player can win and a player can lose. Unless if Kido-Hendra under perform or didnt play like themselves. Or take it easy attitude. But still.. i don't think scolding is a right thing to do.

[Krisna]

Loosing to Tony-Candra is not an embarrasing or a shocking thing... :p

[maze22]

Yeahh.. I read an article in www.detik.com

kido/hendra feel not confident to OG after their lost from tony-chandra
Ohhh.. pliss kido/hendra.. you don't give up !!!! Bring the best performance in OG..

[badMania]

Quotes from Kompas:
Di sela-sela berlangsungnya pertandingan terakhir antara Jo Novita/Greysia Polii dan Zhang Yawen/Wei Yili, Ketua Umum PB PBSI Sutiyoso mengatakan akan mengevaluasi penampilan pemain yang lolos Olimpiade 2008 melalui peringkat dunia, 1 Mei lalu. Didampingi Wakil Ketua Suwandi, Ketua Bidang Pembinaan Prestasi Lius Pongoh, dan Ketua Subbidang Pelatnas Christian Hadinata, Sutiyoso mengatakan, PB PBSI hanya akan mengirim atlet yang benar-benar siap.

Sutiyoso mengatakan, masih dimungkinkan terjadi perubahan pada sektor ganda putri yang akan diwakili Vita Marissa/Liliyana Natsir. Selain ganda putri, sektor lain yang juga masih mungkin diubah komposisinya adalah tunggal putra. Indonesia mendaftarkan Sony Dwi Kuncoro dan Taufik Hidayat.

There are hints that some underperforming players might be dropped from the upcoming Beijing Olympics. The list for Team INA might be revised. There will be an evaluation of players' performance. Sutiyoso mentioned that PBSI will only send those players who are REALLY READY. Taufik Hidayat might be one of those who face expulsion now. There might also be changes in the WD sector.

[badadum]

I'll believe it when I see it. Never care much for Bang Yos to begin with.

[huangkwokhau]

Now..Susilo follows KKK's trend...he wears a diamond earring now.....

[huangkwokhau]

Judith has " chinese letters' tattoo on her leg...quite sexy....

[huangkwokhau]

If you have a chance...go to Sultan's swimming pool...you may spot Anne Rice in her sexy bikini and also topless Joachim....hehe

[huangkwokhau]

Nicole/Charmine may lose the match but not the attention...the crowd loves their sexy clothing and some papers asked them to pose....and I have to translate for them ....hehe..
Also it is reported that Charmine is the one who coaches Paul Newman how to play badminton...apparently he is her oldest protege.....hehe

[huangkwokhau]

Chris, a handsome men double player from England has been the target..one of our BC girl offered him lollipops...hehe...since he will be going to Bangkok ( they are leaving now to airport), I teased him like " sucky..sucky for a dollar"....:D:D he was laughing so hard and felt awkward to accept the sucky..hehe

[Krisna]

Many people want to hug Maria after the big victory over Zhang Ning... Pak Sutiyoso definitely hugged Maria for a long time after her win! My friend said Maria was protecting her breast so as not to be 'harassed' [accidentally or not accidentally]... :p

43837

[hansonlouphers]

She protected her body from any harrased touches while she entered the court. .she was like, "ouggh" when someones trying to held her hand. The INA women has been new celebrities after uber cup. . XoXo . , they're promising!! Say: WE WONT GO DOWN!!

[Oldhand]

What happened to smashie54?
Skipped the Indonesia Open?

[ctjcad]

..having her own Indonesian Open tournament in Kudus, at Djarum's main training center headquarter... ;)

[Krisna]

Maria was mobbed by the crowd when she went out to buy dvds in Mangga Dua before the Indonesian Open. Yes, after the Uber Cup, the women's team became semi-celebs.... :p Not yet Agnes Monica level...

Pak Sutiyoso was too estatic over Kristin's win. At least his temper has cool down after this win. He should be glad as he has all INA mens single final and another 2 opportunity in WS and WD.

[Krisna]

Zhu Lin looked very stressed as she was watching [and filming] the Maria vs. Zhang match today. She sat alone, no smile, no light in her eyes, no positive emotions. Everybody else was jumping up & down throughout the up and downs of the match, including the small Chinese-fan contingent [maybe from the Chinese embassy]... except her.

That's true. As for the INA-fans, we still consider Tony-Candra as representing only INA... :p So INA have another opportunity to win one title in MD. ;)

[ants]

I totally forgot about the Oldies. Heheh . Of course i like them... but u will be rooting for my players. I hope they will be able to get back to back title. Anyhow may the best pair wins. Candra and Tony will have the whole crowd cheering for them there.

[Krisna]

If i were Krisna my eyes would be also be wondering elsewhere. hehehe...

My eyes do wander around. And I don't deny it! :p Last time I checked, eyes wandering around while watching live-badminton is not considered immoral and illegal. ;)

Zhang Ning will just tell Zhu Lin, "Don't loose a 20-18 lead in game 3! It doesn' t feel good..." :p

Chris, a handsome men double player from England has been the target..one of our BC girl offered him lollipops...hehe...since he will be going to Bangkok ( they are leaving now to airport), I teased him like " sucky..sucky for a dollar"....:D:D he was laughing so hard and felt awkward to accept the sucky..hehe

Hello huangkwokhau, I'm the one who met you in hotel during quarter final.. remember me? Bao Chunlai's Fans hehe...:p:p:p:p
thank you so much for your help,, we owe you one :D:D:D
So sad that Bao lost to Sony,, but finally we got the chance to take photo with him! Yeaaahhhh!!!:D:D:D:D

this is our photo with him after he lost to Sony:

Wow...Krisna is right....Bao Chunlai was mobbed by lots of ABG fans :D:eek:

[abedeng]

The Chinese squad had an efficient way to punish non-performing players - force them to do video cam duty.

In the finals, the "honour" went to Bao Chunlai and Wei Yili. Both, esp Bao looked ever so bored. Bao especially looked like he just woke up from sleep, and yawned quite a few times.

Would have been better had he had someone to talk to ......

[badMania]

To me, it's all the same thing, aren't most ABGs = university students anyway....hehehe :D;):p

Hau-Ge is so lucky...meeting so many pretty girls over the past 1 week...how I envy him.

PS: Hau-Ge, are u also going off to Bangkok?? I will be back in HKG early July...so we will catch up when I go back okay.

Zhu Lin looked so pale and tired yesterday. She looked convincingly exhausted. Every 1 or 2 points, she would ask for a shuttlecock change etc. just so that she can get a few extra breath of air. She would also walk around for around 10 seconds many times out of no reason at all [except to rest]. The umpire even gave her a yellow card for her 'delay' tactics...

Yes, I've seen her doing this before and I think umpires must not be too lenient at the expense of her opponent! She should be punished for her repeated delaying tactics! :rolleyes:

[ants]

Dont think Hau-ge will be in BKK. He will be staying in INA for a while.

[abedeng]

Everyone knows Zhu Lin is the least fit among the new generation of CHN WS, maybe even less than Zhang Ning now. The list of Zhu Lin conquerers is very long - including S'pore ex-player Li Li and Ella Diehl. Maria almost added her name on that list.

Imagine Zhu Lin was already gasping for breath in game 1. Apparently Li Yongbo's endurance training regiment hasn't worked on her yet.

Her endurance is not caused by LYB's training regiment.

Poor Bao. He looked bored and totally annoyed with so many people asking for his signature, photos, hold his hands, bla bla - I have to admit that being him would be very annoying, he should feel like a 'tourist object'. I was sitting at the same row as he did (just realized that after I sat down and heard all the crowds -_-") and his expression was totally unhappy, and he even rejected some pic/signature requests and those who could take pix with him got only his stare and "annoyed" look - no smile at all. I bet he was so glad to see Yili came and replaced his "punishment".

More on Bao. During SF, he went to the wrong court! Shouts from the committee didnt reach him that some of them ran and "guided" him to the correct court. Hehehe...

And yesterday, a funny moment happened when JPN WD smashed and the birdie hit Lilyana's forehead. She fell down and rubbing her forehead with a big sneering smile. Vita then took the birdie with her racquet and hit it back to the JPN troop and now the birdie hit Satoko's (or Miyuki's??) forehead! The stadium went to laughter (including the referee) and for 2-3 minutes the two pairs said sorry to each other. It was the funniest moment at INA O for me :D

[abedeng]

Don't quite understand your comment.

I said, LYB's endurance training hasn't worked on her. Which implies that if Zhu Lin did undergo endurance training, her fitness should be better than before. Surely CHN coaches would know that it is one of her major shortcomings and worked on it.

..2-3 minutes of saying sorry to each other??..wow, how many head bows did the JPN pair perform??.. :confused:

As for Bao getting lost on which court he was supposed to play in, was it because he was gravitated towards the court with the most cheering?? or was he trying to get away from all the cheering??.. :confused:

[sayakeren]

..2-3 minutes of saying sorry to each other??..wow, how many head bows did the JPN pair perform??.. :confused:

Hahahaha, yeah the elapsed time was due to waiting for Lilyana to "get back to life" and then the rest for saying sorry to each other -- I think the JPN initially thought Vita did that on purpose but then Vita said sorry and they were both saying sorry to each other :D

If you put it that way, that meant Bao tried to get away from the cheering :D (but doesnt matter anyway; where ever he played, the mass would just magnetize around him...)

[hansonlouphers]

Elapsed time was funniest thing ever happened! Haha. . Esp when i saw lyliana's sneering smile. Pretty funny!

Arvin Bhat who is 28 will get married this year.

[huangkwokhau]

Also Arvin Bhat threw up on "Djarum" box when he played against Alamsyah.
Gopichand quickly asked Bhat to do some Yoga's...I think it is Yoga's breath...

You shouldn't have any difficulties finding Lauren. She's probably the only Eurasian in the whole tournament... :p

I think the correct spelling is Jansen... Cisita is from Manado. Quite pretty... ;)

Thx for the links. I watched that show "TV(?) SMASH" but absolutely no one had anything to record with (also the reason I don't have ~30 hours worth of 2006 TUC video :rolleyes:).

So we have a double dimples doubles entry :p
