Hello everyone..
Just thout I'd share with you this photo, taken in Eindhoven during the match between China and Indonesia...
Our dear friend Kwun was quite captivated by the game...
Then everyone will now know what our dear webmaster looks like...
KWun, get ready to sign as much autographs as Kim Dong Moon now ;-)
Raphael

I think it'd be better if u had permission from Kwun for posting his pic first (if you dont already hav it)...
but anyway... u look great Kwun ;)

I agree. Hope you had permission before posting. A little Andy Lau resemblance. :)

Raphael doesn't sound like he has Kwun's permission... :D But since it hasn't been deleted YET, it's okay. LOL.

Interesting to see someone so captivated by the game. ;)

had no permission from the master himself but as he seems quite humble, he probably would have said no ;-)
but i still wanted to make him a liitle surprise (i hope it's ok Kwun ;-)
besides i've put the one where he is alone... got another one but only he got it with Kim at the back ;-)

So thats how our webmaster looks like! :) Hi kwun! Can i get an autograph? :D :)

that's pretty cool....:cool:

Sorry Kwun, but I guess the people here cant stop admiring our all mighty and powerful admin :D
*cough* time to get Cheung and Mag's pics up here *cough*

Raphy? Is that the nickname you got from Rera in Surabaya;)

haha, that's awsome other than the fact he's giving us the finger! :)

Add to my "Baddy Great" collection, next to GZC, KDM, CM, YY, etc... ;)

LOL. I think it's a finger, not a thumb. :D :D But it could be the 2nd finger... hey, Kwun hasn't seen it yet, has he?

funny, I've always pictured Kwun to be a teen...like 18-19

A photo album of all BF members would be great....with stats and everything :)
"Career" highlights and stuff

I know there was a thread started before that asked people to post their pics
But a dedicated Album would be wonderful

dude. i need a haircut. ;)

Ohhhh... no wonder the old guy sitting next to you bent his head down... He must be like, "man... no help for the guy next to me... damn it... who reserved this seat for me???"

j/k :D

just got to get Raphy back for this......

forget that amateur photographer, here is a professional. the back of the vest should read:

www.badmintonphoto.com

;)

Can you explain the finger, Kwun? :)

hahaha. Taking a picture of someone that's taking a picture. LOL. This should be a good way to see everyone...REVENGE. :D Someone puts someone else's picture up and that someone puts that person's pic up after that. LOL. :D :D :D

Kwun could be mistaken for Park Joo Bong!

revenge? what a horrible way to think about it.

it just shows that Raphy and i both think alike when it comes to candid shots. :)

haha. until i step into the court, that is... :)

So the truth is out. Cat is out of the bag. But what i liked to see was the difference between the slr and the digi cam. Raph had amazing focus in his. So out of interest raphy what cam was it and what lens was it ?

Same thing. :rolleyes: Just in different words, in a nicer way. LOL. ;) I mean, who takes photos of other people when there's a game going on?

photographers who like to capture the out of court scenes. everybody focuses on the main action, but sometimes, the out of court actions are also interesting. if you want the main action only, you might as well just watch TV...

ah ah ah Kwun, looks like you got me on that one...
Should I then post the one with you and Janet and Kim Dong Moon at the back ? hee hee... then people will really realize you look a little bit like Park Joo Bong ;-)
Just teasing.

But guys, I can tell you that Kwun was shouting his head off during INA Vs China... OF course, I was too close to the court to shout as well, but it would have been for Indonesia ;-)

Raphy, let's not post janet's.. ;)

PJB: oh yeah. just need to lose some weight and the glasses, and then go steal some Korean jersey, people will be coming to me for autographs. :)

That's okay, stay the same weight just grow another half a foot, Park is damn tall. As for the glasses just blame "loh fa gnan" ew Cantonese really doesn't anglaisise well.

kwun, anyone ever tell you you look like Egon Spangler from the Ghost buster movies except asian? not that its bad or anything :P

Say, really don't want to see our BC/BF leader kwun, showing with broken glass, bleeding noses, bruise fingers in pics next time :D

Sorry... j/k... ;)

It was captured on TV alright. There was this guy kept shouting "Zhong Guo Dui"

then a whole group will follow with "Jia You".but the voice became softer either because the game was up and also the source appeared to begin to loose his voice as it became hoarse.

the guy shouting "Zhong Guo Dui" is Xia. and then the rest of the Chinese supporters will echo with "Jia You".

you should spot the time when the Koreans go "Asar... Asar..." but some idiot went and add "Zhong Guo Dui" in between, that idiot would be me. :)

Smart...

Just using 50% effort, but increase chinese team's support by another 50%!!! Most important, decrease opponent's support to ground zero. ;)

exactly. :)

Life is pretty grim at the moment.

My strings do not match the colour of the mask....I have really bad colour coordination:eek:

Cheung, u seem REALLY tired... should get more sleep!!! :D

Ouch Cheung. Do you have to walk around like that? that's pretty harsh :(

Yodums

Awww, Cheung, of all the photos did you have to show us the ninja pose?:p
Well, good sport for showing us a pic. Now it's all up to Magnus and we will finally know what all our moderators look like!

Nah, more like... " s***!!! my badminton partner just COUGHED!!!"

Initally, it feels very tight. It's just a matter of getting used to the feeling.

I tried it out in the street - funnily enough, it's really good in HK's dusty atmosphere. Like I feel I'm breathing cleaner air!!!

When a smoker passed by me, I could hardly smell the cigarette smoke - that's really cool.

Tried also sleeping with it on - the main thing to remember is not to touch the mask or your face with your hands subconciously otherwise you might be transmitting infection to yourself:eek:

I am assuming that you don't play badminton with the mask on, do you?

What a life, eh? Going around masks. Good for the bank robbers, I guessed...Teller: Officer, the robber was wearing a mask just like yours!. :D

The scarier thing about SARS is that some of the experts are predicting it to be a seasonal thing now (just like the flu). Yikes! Even though, statistically, flu probably kill more people, the fact is that SARS is unknown and thus, no way of telling how a particular treatment will work on the patient.

On the bright side, people are recovering from it.

WWC, good joke:)

Aiyaa, don't need an expert to tell us it's going to go round the world!

No, no,...seasonal as in cyclic...just like the flu. Every year in Canada, the medical folks tries to predict which flu strains will be prevalent for the upcoming flu seaon (usually in Oct/Nov) and offer flu shots to counter the top three or so strains.

hahaha, you guys analyse kwun's photo like your badminton racquets.
Just hope bigredlemon don't go too crazy with the rendition ;)

you should be careful with all that coughing... maybe you should wear a mask like Cheung to protect your from SARS or *cough* *cough* photoshopping.:D :p :p

cool, i was there too :)

Managed to catch up with Raphael during the HK Open 2003.

Tried out my very rusty french and he understood!! The guy is a genius at understanding nonsensical attempts at french.


Great to meet you Raphael.
Did you get that shot when Lin Dan flew like superman in the s/f?


Guys, I am still wearing that N95 mask at work!:eek:

Wow...

Can't wait to see this pic. Is that he was trying to make a save?

I heard that match between Lin Dan and Bao has the most dives in a game. Hope you guys capture those dives. Can't wait to see them.

In one rally, I think they made 4 or 5 dives in total. The shots they played whilst diving were really good quality ones as well.

Thats alot of dives.!! So do you know how many dives in total they made in the match?

Well my girlfriend says you look very handsome Kwun.


As I spend more time on the site compared to actually playing, maybe I should change my background from Chen Hong to Kwun?!!

BTW:She also says Chen Hong is ugly!:)
