As usual, the club players like Jeffer, Trikus and Bambang will be coming to spar with the juniors from most other countries.

Gan/Zakry are the defending champion...so...if they can win it again, they will retain their 11th rank, otherwise Rian/Eng Hian will surpass them.

The Indonesian contingent will probably include Pelatnas's second-team players, like: Maria Kristin (she was originally included, but, not sure now since she has participated in 3 European tourneys plus the Kejurnas...that's one whole month of continuous tournament participation); Pia Zebadiah; Tommy Sugiarto (not sure also), Alamsyah Yunus, Andreas Adityawarman, Hendra A. Gunawan/Joko Riyadi (also not sure if they want to play in another Satellite event), Yoga Ukikasah/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki, Frans Kurniawan/Rendra Wijaya, Bona Septano/Mohd Aksan, Nitya Krishinda/Nadya Melati, Shendy Puspa/Devi Tika, Lingga/Yulianti, and others.

The club players will include those veterans plus some Djarum players like Maria Elvira and Purwati/Meiliana Jauhari; plus juniors like Sylvinna Kurniawan, Melicia Kurniawan, and maybe Bellaetrix Manuputy,

Yannie,

I'll be visiting my good friend, kokcheng, from up North Kedah, a state that has produced quite a number of Malaysian badminton stars but which I only passed by the last time. I'm sure I'll learn more about Alor Star this time as Kokcheng will be my guide, protector and mentor. I'll try to take some pics, but being not in the comforts of my office with my pc, I may not be able to post your pics in time until my return to the office.

Thousand apologies in advance!

**yannie** · 11-21-2006, 04:44 AM

It's ok Loh. =) Enjoy your time there...

Easier or harder for the MJs? Faint.. G'luck..
