Yup.. most of those taken by me. Hahaha.. and one by Tarek. Simon's face during CPH Masters =/.. so many spots
Some of his pics... ..and in some quick glance(s), remind me a bit of another U.S. badminton player, Ronald Sou...
You can try this... ...sorry, i can only find this pic in this link for now; will search for more later: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39606&page=4(post #68)...not exactly alike, but just in some quick glances..
Chen Jin... VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY direct person, right Tarek and Mei Ying? Hahahahaha. And extremely over-confident
I saw Simon many times in Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan... all during tournaments... Seems like a very nice fellow. But, I wish he would show more confidence... more like Chen Jin, actually... I will surely see him at the Indonesian Open soon [in May]... and again in the Superliga Bulutangkis [badminton superleague] sometime in late June or July where he surely will be PB Tangkas' first singles. He will face the other club's first singles like Sony [Suryanaga], Taufik [SGS], Andre Kurniawan [Djarum], Budi Santoso [Mutiara], etc... I heard PB Suryanaga will try to hire Peter Gade or Kenneth J. and PB Musica will try to bring Wong Choong Han etc. Great tests for Simon... My first experience watching Simon live was when he lost to Peter Rasmussen as Indonesia's 3rd singles and the 5th match of Indonesia vs. Denmark [Thomas Cup 2004] Simon was maybe 18. He lost to the former World Champion. ...and Indonesia lost the Thomas Cup for the first time since 1994... Oh well, Simon can repay everything by helping us to get Thomas Cup back in 2008 ... well, or if not next year [a bit difficult, I admit], then 2012...
HAH!! Don't let him see this!! Raaah!! LMAO!! He'll say smthg like "I know I am", with a PROUD VOICE!! LOL!! And, yeah, yan, thx for the thread.. LOL, going to check here everytime I come online.. Oh, and, not only his look looks young, so is his behaviour!! So childish, grr, worse than a small kid.. Haaaiz.. Well, just you wait, Ko Simon/Sori2, I'll beat you one day.. Maybe when you're like, 50 yrs old?? LOL.. And I'll definitely pass your height.. I'm gonna pass 176 cm.. Haha, and I shall have a lunch before playing with you next time, lol, so I won't be too hungry.. Ok, so sorry, talking crap here, anyway, Ko Simon is sooo childish!! Oh, and, Krisna, i think he was 19 then.. And, yes, he'll be the first singles.. And, I heard Rexy and his bro was frm tangkas?? Maybe they can help tangkas.. LOL.. And I think, his confidence would be stronger now, you know, after being the runner-up in SO.. I guess he would be performing quite well in Aviva s'pore Open ltr on.. Yan, are you coming to S'pore??
