Hmmm... ...i thought you are looking fw to meeting Rian, besides the other players??..Are the other Djarum players coming?? How about the MJs??..
Can can can.. email or pm me.. but I can only answer tomomrrow cuz going to zzzzzz now okay.. still have my email? If not check my user CP.
Still dunno yet.. Might confirm soon.. I just heard from my friend from Denmark that he had to apply TODAY to play in Denmark Open.. I dunno about players from other countries. Ya, sure looking forward to him if he's coming.. Djarum players.. Errr, my other friend (who has many friends in Djarum) said everything is still unconfirmed. If Djarum sends players maybe Rian-Yoke, Andre will come?? Huh? MJs said coach didn't tell them yet. FAINT. But most likely only Chun Seang and Julia will come. That's what I heard from them.
Hahahaha CHRIS! LOL.. So funny.. Hehehehe.. I also want to meet other players again.. CJ, CY/FHF, ZTT, Joko/Hendra AG, Flandy/Vita, Simon, WCH, Reiko, TBS/OSH, KKK/TBH etc.. Too many to mention.. And Koreans if they're coming.. LYD, LJJ, HSH..
Well, if you want those players to come.. ..then you will need to clasp your hands, *every day*, praying that there won't be any hindrances so they will come & compete..
Off topic-Please update us.. ...on the upcoming Danish league, yannie..Supposedly Tony G. will arrive there this weekend and compete starting next week??..Pass our warm BC regards to him when you meet up with him, again-thx!..
Chris, I'm not gonna meet up with him.. You see last time supposed to meet up, but then he got sick (I think it was flu), so canceled. Actually I don't know him personally, but Agus knows.. So when Agus wanna bring him to Copenhagen, we were supposed to meet. I'll pass the BC regards to Agus and ask him to pass Tony okay..
Alvent is coming to Denmark Open.. Hahahaha.. Rian.. Big possibility too.. Hehe.. Now they're all in Taiwan.
