While the INA MD Pair was making history ...... ...... in came the World No 1's new wife with a whole host of relatives and friends. Yup, it was like an invasion of an army ...... bred only for a single purpose. To, ahem, destroy mankind's seating positions. The World No 1's Queen cometh ...... .... with an army of relatives and friends ..... .... forcing a few folks to beat a retreat (and move to different seating locations). Including our very sporting PBSI official.
The Blue Riband Event ..... ...... was of course, the Men's Singles Final. By this time, the day was getting long ...... .... and LCW's 9th Malaysian Open title was beckoning, ..... ..... but I was thinking more about food. Wish I could just grab that satay from the VIP Seating Area. Eventually the two finalists arrive .... flexing their muscles ...... ... the contender, mentally adept but (occasionally) physically fragile Sony Dwi Kuncoro ...... ... and the incumbent champion, physically superb but (sometimes) mentally suspect Lee Chong Wei ..... In no time at all, the World No 1 started bombing ..... .... and the contender started ducking for cover, to the left ..... ..... and to the right ..... They even drew swords at the net ..... .... but finally, jubilation for the home hero ..... .... and thus the two gladiators sued for peace.
great captions to the photos... now where is the edit button so i can rename the title of this thread appropriately need to make an effort to meet abedeng next time... hopefully in may
Ha ..... call yourself a lurker, and still you cannot find me, the stalker ....... wakakakakaka. Yup, we should indeed meet up.
I think Christina Pedersen can pick up Chan Peng Soon and sling him up and her shoulders and then do the hooky pokie quite easily.
Sorry for the long wait.. So where shall I start.. well, let's start from the round 1 first.. Where many matches actually took place and those matches are being played from morning 9am to 11pm night Chris langridge/peter mills of england against mas not so experienced pair of chooi/ow.. This was the match that made tan kim her so mad..Despite leading the most in the 3rd and deciding game, but still they succumb under pressure and finally lose.. peter mills was so 'active' in this match.. can be heard of him shouting 'yes!! yess!!' to his partner to retrieve the shuttle..
-Goh liu ying/lim yin loo -New scratch combination of zhang nan and qiu zi han.. against the mas youngster.. a very easy game for the chinese pair.. sort of like training session for them. -One tai tzu ying photo which were playing on the far side of the court from my seating.(noticed the young umpire over there) -The 'big' xie zhong bo is there as china doubles coach.
-WD match between china and taiwan.. as usual, cheng wen hsing had troubles with her serve.. despite of this, her partner combined with her really well and manage to give the china pair which eventually became the champion of the tournament a run for their money. -Match between korea's ko/lee against germany pair.. one sided match i would say. -Thai xd pair against mas pair of lai/tan. what is CWS's partner doing? Players, officials... players: in or out, umpire? the power is in your hand. flying KO.. watched this match with my paw team mate from indonesia, simonlovers.. Who's gonna take this shot? Aim, focus and BAMMMMM!!
Who's this girl? Noticed shoji sato joined as a coach in this tournament.. has he retired from international tournament?
PIA/pradipta ina vs korea's wd pair.. all japan xd affair.. polli/meliana after coming back from their OG suspension.
-curly hair sho sasaki against tommy sugiarto of indonesia.. -hardworking yves as a photographer for badmintonphoto and badzine -lunch break
