    Missing the live telecast, that's what.

    Yours truly missed up to 3 hours of badminton action this afternoon because I was trying to cook the best bowl of Tom Yam noodle soup ever (Sheesh, it's got to be *Thai* food... ). So there went the match of the century bwt Taufik and Gade as well as the shocker between Shon and Chen.

    So don't fret if you don't get telecast 'cos nobody can be as screwed up as me!

    Been there, done that!

    When I'm not bumming my summer away, I'm reading match reports on BC the whole year round in boring Evanston. And when my computer breaks down, which is very often, I have to pay to use a computer at the internet cafe just to come to BC to see what is happening.

    just be happy guys, esp for those who are in the US and other broadcast rare countries. 4 yrs ago there was nothing. zero coverage of the Olympics badminton except for delayed reports from just a handful of online media. nowadays, we have limited coverage from online broadcast, reporters with fast online reports/photos as well as in-the-field reports from others who have the priviledge to watch on TV or even in the arena. the US is also getting TV coverage which was still a blue moon dream last year.

    however, none of these will help the Tom Yum making lady missed turning on the TV.. ;)

    so how was the Tom Yum?
