i think one of the main reason is because her opponent is not very strong, that's why she can be so relaxed during her game
it's good for her to relax since these are just "testing" matches in order for the players to get used to the badminton stadium used for Olympics 2008.
she didn't meet with too much problems in the first two rounds. she won and entered the quarter-finals with straight sets. main reason is because the players are from china's provincal teams and didn't pose a threat to her. her main job is to get use to the stadium in order to prepare for the olympics next year.
congrats to her, but i have to say that it's a bit weird to smile throughout the game. i know she is very relaxed and confident about winning, but she doesn't have to smile everytime when hitting a shutter. i mean she can smile and cheer when she scores a point but now she's smiling throughout a game which is quite strange. i think it's kinda weird but who knows, if she's in such a good condition.
i had dinner again with LD last night... it is at q cantonese restaurant at regent beijing... food is great
I can't say I like the Chinese food I had on my recent holiday trip to Shanghai. Ducks' tongues, bad taufu, bamboo shoots, chicken legs, chicken hearts, etc. Lost 2KGs in the process.
XXF mentioned in her blog that her b'day surprise for LD is being disclosed by the salesperson...no more surprise...hehehe.... for those who knows Chinese:- http://qzone.sports.qq.com/95002038/blog/39.htm
