    Yes I was just sitting there... and then came TCS climbing the stairs with his 'weapon', of course not the Jet Li type ... exercising his wrist with it as he walked.

    I also happen to know one Singaporean lady who only supports Malaysian players and this lady knows the entire Malaysian team, including TCS and Arif. As she was seated near me, I just asked her to take a pic of me with TCS. Being such a good natured boy, TCS obliged without any hesitation.

    TCS has a natural, charming smile and with that Jet Li type of face, he will get lots of girls, not only Erin, going after him! (I hope he can handle the situation when it comes otherwise Yannie will have to coach him!)

    I never told TCS that I will post in BC. Maybe he will get a pleasant surprise if he finds out.

    Yes I also caught Arif in action and would love to post some of his pics here but I still have problems attaching the pics. I can't even use the smilies here.
    The same problem I encountered trying to post in the other thread until I start a new one such as this. So sorry, unless I can find a solution like starting a new thread for Arif!

    I think something is wrong, not sure whether it is with my PC though!

    Isnt she Malaysian? Have seen her in the past Singapore Opens, Cheers Asian Satellite, Cheers Youth Championships etc, cheering on the Malaysian players. If there is a 'No.1 Malaysian Fan' award, my vote goes to her. :)

    Then, as a good friend you follow him and give him good advice. Best advice is to remind him to smile always, whether in victory or in defeat!

    I hope we are talking about the same Malay lady. She is a die-hard Malaysian fan and maybe the younger MJs treat her as godmother.

    I put a question to her: If a Singaporean player were to play against a non-Malaysian player, will she support the Singaporean player. She kept quiet. I think she will not support any other team except the Malaysian team.

    Tan on hot streak

    The Star
    Sunday June 3, 2007


    By LIM TEIK HUAT
    PETALING JAYA:

    Project 2010-12 shuttler Tan Chun Seang dashed the hopes of Bukit Jalil Sport School's Chan Kwong Beng to win the men's singles title of the Asian Satellite Open championships in Singapore yesterday.

    It was the second consecutive title for the 20-year-old Chun Seang, who emerged as the winner at the Vietnam International Challenge in Ho Chi Minh City last Sunday.

    But the third seeded Chun Seang did not have it easy in the final and was taken to three games by a determined Kwong Beng, who was looking to cap a fairy-tale ending to an impressive run. Chun Seng came back from a game down to win the match 16-21, 21-16, 21-10.

    There was a double for Malaysia in the tournament when Khoo Chung Chiat-Chang Hun Pin beat Indonesians Bona Septano-Mohd Ahsan 19-21, 21-10, 23-21 in the men’s doubles final.

    Winning a second consecutive title brought much satisfaction to Chun Seang. The Kedahan had been trying to make a breakthrough on the international stage for three years without much success.

    “I went through some tough matches from the first round. I was quite tired because we came here immediately after the tournament in Ho Chi Minh City,” said Chun Seang in a telephone interview from Singapore.

    “I was unable to catch his strategy in the first game. But I became confident after he started making a few unforced errors at the start of the second game. There was pressure on me to win but I'm glad to have pulled it off.”

    The back-to-back success should move Chun Seang up the world rankings from number 44.

    “I hope to break into the top 30[/B], which will give me an automatic berth in the main draw of 32 in Super Series tournaments,” said Chun Seang, who is expected to feature in the Thailand Open next month.

    The 19-year-old Kwong Beng, who moved up to number 205 from 403 in the world rankings after reaching the semi-finals of the Vietnam meet, expressed mixed feelings over the defeat.

    “I never expect to go this far. But as an unseeded player it was tough going all the way. I knew it would be difficult if the match went to the rubber because my legs were giving up on me,” admitted Kwong Beng, who now trains under national coach Misbun Sidek.


    Final results

    Men's singles: Tan Chun Seang (Mas) bt Chan Kwong Beng (Mas) 16-21, 21-16, 21-10.

    Men’s doubles: Khoo Chung Chiat-Chang Hun Pin (Mas) bt Bona Septano-Mohd Ahsan (Ina) 19-21, 21-10, 23-21

    Women's singles: Jun Jae-youn (Kor) bt Bae Joo-youn (Kor) 21-8, 21-8.

    Women's doubles: Ha Jung-eun-Kim Min-jung (Kor) bt Pushpita Richi Dili-J. Yulianti (Ina) 21-18, 21-12.

    Mixed doubles: Cho Gun-woo-Kim Min-jung (Kor) bt Yoo Yeon-seong-Ha Jung-eun (Kor) 21-19, 21-13.

    No, hFang is Malaysian and is a young Chinese lady. I've posted pics of her the last time, during the ABC in Johor Baru and the Aviva Open Singapore makan party. The lady I'm talking about is Singaporean! :D

    Mohd Arif Abdul Latif

    I think the attachment facility is working now, so I will post some pics of Arif Latif as promised to Erin.

    Also one on Chan Kwong Beng shaking hands with Ashton Chen, whom he defeated in three games. :)

    Yes..Arif Latif is Zakry's bro. Razif too. They have 10 siblings in total. Dunno about the eldest in their siblings but almost all play badminton. But only four in national level namely Zakry(24), Razif(22), Nairul Suhada (19) and Arif (18). their younger siblings play badminton too at state level.
