    Hope..

    ..you'll have a lot of fun in Jakarta (during the Thomas & Uber Cup), Lauren; if you haven't been there, the country is a bit different but i think you'll find it a unique experience:cool:..If you want, you can tag along & you can join the other BCers who will be there. I heard our Hau-ge(huangkwokhau) will be the unofficial host/"tour guide" for the BCers going to Jakarta;)..Visiting Bali is recommended (since it'll be an hr or so flight from Jakarta), although i don't know how long you'll be staying in INA; or if you'll be traveling with your family..:cool:..

    U want Lauren to commentate while playing, izzit? :p Yeah, I can see how it will probably go ..... "Damn, should have smashed that one in." "Erk, that net looks a bit too high." "What's wrong with the service judge, faulting me like nobody's business!!" "Shxx, the bird flies way too fast!!" .......... :D

    Other than ringside commentators, we will have quite a few "sharpshooters", supported by "tripod carrying personnel."

    Would you like to be among the noblest in the field? :D There is still time, but rooms at the hotel are getting short.

    As I was always told, plan for contingencies and "business recovery". When a carrier fails to handle the load, another one must turn up ....... :D:D

    That comes naturally, after many years of experience dealing with vendors and suppliers ........ kakakakaka :)

    He he, make sure the service and timeliness meets our service level guarantee (SLG) ..... 15 minutes per km. :p Max 10 minutes from Hotel to Istora.

    That is an optimistic time when saddled with weights, u didn't happen to carry any tripod during the run, did you? :p

    Terry, for a group photo to materialize, the group must materialize first and converge .....
