KKK, what are you doing!

[pjswift]

Oh, by the way,I had a chat with KKK during the SSF.
When I called him 'KKK', his first reaction was 'KKK?...' meaning he didn't know who was KKK since it's our shorthand for him and I forgot that.
Just to give you a first hand impression of him.
He's actually down-to-earth and easy to chat with. Has a spontaneous approach to questions (which probably made him rather popular with the Spore media during his winning days.Let's hope it will happen this SO.) Articulate with a good sense of humour.
Comes across as one who can give his best when he has the freedom to decide or participate in his outcome ; he 's not the type who's gonna just take instructions from the coach.
Of all the MAS players, he has the best body language on court : Always a picture of confidence regardless of play. But with KKK, it's not just a picture. Confidence is his trademark. Or when you don't like it, it's called arrogance. LCW can learn that from KKK.

Yeh its a simple mistake to make which is blown way out of proportion by the media. Thats why at top level competition you have to be very very careful of what you do and say.
Because you are at the top leve, if you blink incorrectly the media will take offence to it and say LOOK WHAT HE DID!

This to me is no big deal. You should see the australian people when they play.....lol
Every 2 words is ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when they make a mistake haha and its a huge shout lol

i think u got it wrong.
blown way out of proportion by the media?
i didn't find any writeup in the news. Is it on the eveing news?
I think u r exaggerating our counterpoints to make you case because u couldn't come up with any real supporting points.

So ur behavior is based on how other behave? Are u exaggerating again? every 2 words from AUSSIES is ****?

Kids won't understand the finger unless they have been taught the meaning. Neither would they understand the hat unless they are mature enough to think.

I'm very certain that there are billions of mature people in this world don't know about this hat thing u r talking about. U must be much mature than alot of people huh?

The finger shorthand probably originated from the west,and is understood by those in the east who are into sports or western culture. The rest of the east probably wouldn't even notice it, if it were not put up.
The hat thing wouldn't be understood unless you understand the meaning of showing respect for the host.
(Which was what LCW did for his Guangzhou hosts. Should he be wearing the Mao red neckchief? Maybe yes, maybe no. But his gesture made his hosts happy that he appeared as one of their own, in the photo at least. And why not? The hosts showed such graciousness to arrange such a big welcome for him so he ' actually felt like home'.When hosts go to that kind of trouble, they are paying the guest-of-honour the highest compliment.)

Which is worse, hat or finger?
Depends on what you want to teach the kids.
If you don't teach the kids about the finger, they will be immune to that kind of offence. So it will not even bother them.
If you don't teach the kids about the hat, life will still go on....until or unless they have to work with another culture or, as they say, go global.

hahaha, ur joking me. Are u living in the jungle with the pygmies??? U think every child knowledge were taught by their parents? There are lots of things kids of today learned from frens, public places, media from billboard to tv to internet. I bet u almost all asian kids have exposed to western media and marketing before. Why don't u asked everyone here, where did they learned the giving the finger is obscene gesture, from their parents or from other sources.

hahaha, another great analysis of your lol.

So in a 5 mins chat, u know a guy that well huh? There are serial killers which their close neighbors, friends, family members have no idea of although they knew the subject for years if not a lifetime. I guess u have that special people analysis skills that we don't have. We are in such awe

Picture of confidence is his trademark?? Don't say i don't like the guy since i didn't have that 1 to 1 chat like u have but as an outsider looking in, he exude overconfident. So, displaying the finger gesture is a sign of confident huh? Man, i like to see what kind of men u r dating with.

 

[george@chongwei]

actually i think kkk/tbh does have a decent chance to beat fu/cai in the MD SC. After taking the first game, kkk weakness emerges again. In pemuda's words, he gone cocky. KKK and tbh played too casually in critical moments. Even gillian clarke took the words out of my mouth, it is 'criminal' to be so casual at the net ( KKK's foot flat on the mat, knees not bend to intercept an easy shot that went pass him. He was like standing up leisurely waiting at the food line)

as said earlier, they go out there just to enjoy their game, unlike the chinese, they are under pressure to clinch the winning point for china.

LOL...

Now I know why KKK "fingered" his Yonex racket... KKK must have been thinking about getting out of his Yonex sponsorship by giving his Yonex racket "the finger" in front of public television, then get the attention of Li-Ning by screaming like a b*tch every time he does an overhead shot.

Just imagine the next Li-Ning commerical...
"Our rackets are better than Yonex, let's us show you what a professional badminton player's opinion on Yonex racket", then shows the famous KKK middle fingered his own Yonex racket. LOL

let's get the yonex thingy out of this

Gosh ! When did that incident happened?
Did the umpire eventually fell off frm his chair?

this is funny, i'm curious to know when did this takes place too.. eagle?

 

[george@chongwei]

lol, this thread is getting hotter and hotter. i think there should be some air cond here.
let's all calm ourselves down.
wow cooler, i can see you are very 'busy' in this thread, maybe u should have some rest?

Come on cooler, she was just mentioning what her impression of KKK was after her chat, no need to attack her views. Your statements however does suggest that you have been living in a rat hole. I must say i do agree with most of your views on the matter. I just think you tend to be overly insulting towards some people.

let me do this "finger" thing in my next baddy session and start a thread like this. then i will be famous like KKK.

maybe that time of match, KKK got carried away + angry at himself + unsatisfied with his shot, and he just fingered without thinking. too much pressure while playing against CY/FHF.

 

[jasonmarc]

Lol!

He is swearing at his racket .

Don't blame the racket KKK

hehehe.......mybe he wanted to switch to LN..........

 

[Zabee]

since it already pass then we should just forget about it........

 

[phaarix]

So ur behavior is based on how other behave? Are u exaggerating again? every 2 words from AUSSIES is ****?

I can confirm that this is in fact true . I have relatives in Australia so I know what it's like over there. It's not just in badminton .

 

[LazyBuddy]

Oh yah, like most kids are not already doing worse things (than raising a finger toward a racket) these days.

You know why kids doing bad things these days? Because they are influenced by the society, influenced by th media, under the assumption such and such behavior is "cool" rather than "wrong".

Koo as a public figure, and a local hero to many, decide to contribute to the bad influence, rather than the positivie ones. If more and more make such decisions, no wonder kids can do worse and worse things.

Hehe LCW only shows some slight arrogance when playing lower rank players, should show more when playing LD though

 

[ye333]

So you mean back when there is no TV, kids were all pure as water?

Kids are most influenced by those adults around them, not by TV. Kids learn bad things mainly because there are many many bad people living in this world.

Anyway, so what is the effect of KKK's behavior? Let's say kids watching TV conclude that it's OK to show your frustration by raising THE finger toward your racket, big deal huh?

If you think that's indeed a big deal, then what's your opinion of LD throwing racket? What is the message kids get from that? How about LYB verbally insulting the Japanese umpire?

Did I indicate that kids can only be taught by their parents?

Kids are exposed to many sources of stimuli nowadays but they learn from the people they mix with the most. That may not be the parents if the parents are busy working.

Personally i don't respond to obscene gestures or language because they are not worth my time or energy.So your survey suggestion is out of question.

I have no problems with your rebuttals because it reflects on you.

I guess u wouldn't be doing more chatting with KKK, such missed opportunity to read into this guy for us curious minds.

yes , i have been reflecting alot over the years.
