Seriously, if I don't understand INA language..i would've gone crazy.

You were almost completely correct. I not go Euro = "Saya nggak pergi Eropa"...

go = pergi

Well, all he needs to do is perform very VERY well in those tournaments, right?

Then he gets to go to Denmark and France etc. I am sure Djarum wants Rian-Yoke to go to the Olympics, so they will fund him if they really see potential... But if not, then it would not make much sense to fund him on expensive overseas trips where he will just loose in the first or second round...

Ohh.. thanks Krisna & Jessica

Yeah.. Rian better perform well soon. Otherwise..no chance to go to Denmark Open or CPH Masters!

Yannie, weird hobby we have huh? Makes me laugh everytime. LMAO!

**yannie** · 08-11-2007, 03:26 AM

I don't think he'll come to CPH Masters.. Last year he said cuz he's not in the national team..

Hahaha dear Erin.. remember.. our preference change after every tournament. LMAO. Means after WC & DO, our player preference will change *wf

**erin_hakkinen** · 08-11-2007, 06:06 AM

So now he's not in the national team?
Has Rian ever been in the national team?

p/s: yannie, i wonder who our next victim is *wf

**armortecfans** · 08-11-2007, 11:25 AM

I think he has once in the national team until early last year, if I am not mistaken. He decided then to join his club again, Djarum. He was then partnered with Eng Hian, who also quitted from the national team in almost the same time as Rian did. Since Eng Hian then moved to Singapore, he is now paired with Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki. That's what I know.

oo, I think the reason Rian decided to quit the national training camp is he was not sent to a lot of tournaments and now with Djarum he got a lot of experiences.

**yannie** · 08-11-2007, 02:42 PM

Yup, armortecfans is right.

Erin, didn't you read the whole thread??? *preparing to grill you*

Our next victim.. Time will show.. Hahahaha. Then everything will start over again.. We'll create a new thread, be the only posters in that thread until our "victim" gets famous.. After that, we won't post anymore, only to find a new "victim".. Zzz..

He indeed looks like a Chinese. As far as I know, his father is Chinese while his mother is Original Indonesian. I think there has been a post about this in this thread before.

**kimpe_bultang** · 08-13-2007, 05:42 AM

He should be a mix, I guess.. Javanese ppl usually don't look like a chinese unless they hv sm chinese blood..

**Krisna** · 08-14-2007, 09:57 AM

I predict... Rian-Yoke will be in the ...2009 World Championship!

They will be at least a semifinalist...

**Krisna** · 08-23-2007, 12:47 AM

Rian-Yoke will play in the Indonesian Challenge next week [should be pretty highly seeded, but not yet confirmed] and the Indian Open the week after that. In India, they might meet Lee Yong Dae-Jung Jae Sung in the quarterfinals...

Let's see if they can repeat Kido-Hendra's win over the tough Koreans...

The Indian Open draw came out 2 days ago...

**aaron_11** · 08-23-2007, 11:18 AM

WC is now every year, except when there is Olympics then there is no WC.

Yup, next year there won't be any World Championship and Rian-Yoke is a bit late in their contention to be one of the maximum 3 pairs per country according to the 2008 Olympic qualification rule. The rule said max 3 pairs out of the top 4. If this rule is not fulfilled, then max 2 in the top 16 [I think]. It is very improbable that Rian-Yoke are part of the top 4 in the world by May 2008... And in the top 16, there are Kido-Hendra, Luluk-Alven, and Joko-Hendra AG.... PBSI will most likely send Kido-Hendra and Luluk-Alven for next year's Olympics...

So... realistically, Rian-Yoke should aim for the 2009 World Championship...
