Here are some pics to share with you all which I took in this tournament. It's a shame that I didn't take as much as I want although I am in good position to do so as a line judge. Anyway, I truely enjoyed it and hope you guys too. It's nice to meet Alvin, Jason, Yannie and Jason_tiger, but we miss lots of you in the list. We just know you all are somewhere in the arena. Haha.......... Day1 - Round32
Thanks for the pics.. ..elwin81, thanks for taking those pics & sharing them with us...good to hear you had lots of fun..i'm sure we'll be seeing a bit more pics after yannie and others get back and upload them for us..
AE Semis Pics Some pics I took with my crappy 3MP digicam, max 3x zoom. The first few I took from the upper level of block 10, the ones closer up was when I switch seats with my friend in block 3, 3rd row. Had a great time, esp MD KKK-TBH vs JE-ML, sitting next to a big block of M'sian supporters and shouting our hearts out made for great atmosphere! Had to travel down to brummie early on sat morning, hence didn't know meeting times were changed! Oh well, maybe next year!
No worries, catch it when Aerotus uploads the videos! Only had some pics of KKK TBH during their warm ups, which didn't turn out too clearly. Was too busy cheering to take pics during the game!
hahaha, i know what you mean .... i was at the AE in 2003 when Hafiz won, but it's hard to know when to just watch the match and when to take pictures. watching on videos is nice, but nothing beats being in the NIA, especially when you're part of the the cheering committee ...
When I was there on Sunday we were told that you weren't allowed to take photos and that if you were caught taking them you might be thrown out! We didn't want to take the risk. It made me very sad.
Ya, the feeling is there.. everyone is cheering and you will cheer for your favourite player too.. wonderful experience.. If only i could go to AE..
I watched the semifinal and final and will upload the photos once I figure out how to do so. Can someone tell me which hosting site do you upload your photos so I can enlarge my photos. Photo 1 - Chandra and I in Birmigham Chinatown. So lucky to bump into him there. In fact, the entire Indonesian team was there. I got photo with Sigit and Tony too. Photo 2 - KKK/TBH doing a medal walk-round in front of my friends and I. Photo 3 - KKK shook hands with Cai Yun after winning the MD Final match.
Thanks for sharing... ..to glosh & thiery..thanks for sharing them w/us.. ..for hosting site, you can try www.photobucket.com(i'm currently using it) or www.imageshack.com ...and yes, they're FREE..
LOL. Candra, Tony went to the same place as us. All Indonesians went to Chinatown that day. Luluk, Nova... as well. And Rian Hihihihi.
Yeah.....so many players were there. I saw the Indonesian team again on Sunday morning. On Saturday morning, CTF was there too. Guess who's with him? His gf was there. My friend had a photo with them.
Every Asian player went there almost everyday for food.. I had dinner with Cai Yun, Fu Haifeng, Xu Chen, Guo Zhendong, He Hanbin, Lu Lan and Wang Lin.. Wah! All so drunk.. went back to rest. But Indonesians (Tony, Candra etc) and Malaysian coaches went to Casino. Bumped into Malaysian players on the way out of Jury's Inn, and they dragged me to Casino as well. FAINT. Koo Kien Keat, Tan Boon heong, Ong Soon Hock, Tan Bin Shen, Gan Teik Chai, Lee Chong Wei, Hoon Thien How, Chan Chong Ming etc where there.
Just take secretly without flash and you should be alright. I think AE is the strictest in all tournaments, even no flash photography is disallow.
Yes, true.....the players are just all over the Chinatown. Even I just went to Chinatown for a day out of five, I still manage to see lots of players hanging around. yannie, do you got the shirt at last? Haha.......
