ALL-ENGLAND Promises to be HOT.......

[snasirin]

we know lin dan is good but he has an attitude ... making him no good anymore. what kind of sportsman not being able to manage his temper and short of sporting spirit?

[Loh]

wah, uncle loh, what time already, no need to sleep?

Very sharp hah! What was your time then, late afternoon? I'm a night bird and with the slight flu bugging me, I just couldn't have a peaceful rest. Furthermore, didn't quite visit the net for a good look at the TC/UC results. Some of the TC teams like the Korean men are taking things easy and exposing their younger players since they have already qualified for the finals.

In a way, I'm glad that our own teams are fielding the younger ones, although they failed to impress much, except our UC team. I think our target for the TC/UC finals is 2010.

[abedeng]

But don't misunderstood me.. i love the Chinese players.

Yup, nobody can hate Gao Ling ....

Even CTF fell for Zhang Jiewen.

And everyone anticipates a final with LD in it, even though they hope for him to lose in earlier rounds ..... kakakaka

Night bird, u better get some rest and build your stamina.

The Thomas Cup final sessions start at 1 pm and 6 pm WIB. That's 2 pm and 7 pm S'pore time. And there's this good half a km walk one way from our Hotel to Istora ...... I anticipate we need 2 kms worth of leg power at least per day.

Don't scare pjswift lah! I thought the stadium is just adjacent to our hotel?
But not to worry, I will be lighter than you and you have to carry the tripod too! After all, isn't it more or less equivalent to roughly 5 games on the badminton court?

Yes it is, but Senayan is a sports complex like Bukit Jalil and Kallang. And Istora is located quite a bit away, like Putra Stadium if coming from the LRT station, or Indoor stadium coming from Geylang (Guillemard Road).

I can arrange backup for pjswift, hotel taxi. But u and me, we must walk, as tough men ...... Old men walk with canes, tough men walk with tripods and cameras.

Back to All-England, one day I must go to the NIA, never been to the All-Englands since they moved from Wembley Arena and London. This year I might miss the Astro broadcast of the semis and finals, going outstation to attend a cousin's wedding ......

[abedeng]

No, eternal rest ..... inevitable.

Now, being in a KL or Jakarta Thomas/Uber Cup Finals, is priceless .........

[Loh]

Our version of eternal rest is one that is controllable, not one way street!

However I do agree with you that being able to travel freely to watch and enjoy the TC/UC in Jakarta is priceless!

[koo_fan]

I dont know if it is ok to cheer Malaysia Boleh loudly in Jakarta now.

[ants]

I dont think if i can hear my own voice.

[Loh]

Depends on who is surrounding you! Fellow Malaysians, like abedeng, in large numbers, I think that will boost your courage. But if they are from the opposition, better be more restrained!

[Winston_T]

How about you always look down other players??? We have seen your post from beginning....always negative on other players....

and you're always look down to CHN's players.

btw, I never hate other players.

[Winston_T]

Yeah u r right. We r bored about the CHN's dominance but we still like the Chinese players. Zhang Ning and YW/ZJW jiayou!

when Ina's MS players dominate the badminton from 1994-2002, do u get bored?
