but the most important thing is Taufik wins and i really hope he concentrate and focus more on his game.
That's the bad habit of Taufik, isn't it?
Whenever he thinks that he can win, he is always taking it easy and thinking of his next match, and not his current one.
Don't know why he doesn't want to go about quickly finishing his current opponent, therefore having time to observe his next opponent's game.

I think Taufik Hidayat will make it to the Finals.
My Prediction:
2009 India Open Mens Singles Final to be Hafiz Hashim -vs- Taufik Hidayat

. Only a brave man would stake his reputation on the Yoyo
.Goodness
Might be brave, but predictions are usually behaving like a yoyo.

How can he resist original putumayam and tosai ma. I can't imagine how good the taste if I am LCW I'm sure willing to sacrifice my tummy for them
u have putumayum there 
.C,
want to change the thread title to Muhammad Hafiz Hashim & Taufik Hidayat at the 2009 India Open?
that night, i have sneak peak TH vs KBH during quarterfinal live on astro. TH played like low-energy...
nevertheless, let the best man wins!! BMW
Dewasa ini kita saling merayakan
Kejayaan yang akhirnya membinasakan
Apalah gunanya kematangan fikiran
Bila di jiwa kita masih lagi muda
Dan mentah
Ku lihat hijau ....
The above is the lyrics for the song, Hijau by Zainal Abidin. Any fans of Zainal here??
Just had my lunch - McD takeway (cheese burger/fries & coke) and heard Hijau being played on the radio. A simple, lovely, meaningful and well written song.
Ahhh ... the India Open badminton. Hmm ... first round, eh?? Chen Long - who was it here in this forum that told me that em' Chinese are having some shortage of quality shuttlers in their junior/back up squads???? Cant wait for our CWF or that Liew Daren guy to send LD packing in the first round.
Anyway, back to serious business ....
First round.
India Open.
Chinese junior shuttler.
I believe this is just a one off. I mean LCW have been away from home for sometime. He must be fatigue or homesick by now. It is not easy being away from home, travelling, living out of a suitcase, pressure from fans at home, NSC, Sports Minister etc. What is important is that he won the SO. And this India trip enabled him to experienced the local indian cuisine, sights, shopping which will gear him up nicely for the coming WC.
I hope Boleh fans wont throw away their drums and trumpets with this early first round exit. Lets continue to support LCW in the name of Malaysia Boleh.
As per Zainal's hijau ....
Oh..anok-anok
tokleh meghaso mandi laok
Besaing,maing ghama-ghama
Ale lo ni tuo umurnyo bejuto
Kito usoho
Jauhke dari malapetako
Ozon lo ni koho nipih nak nak aghi
Keno make asak
Hok biso wei,pasa maknusio
Seghemo bendo-bendo di dunio
Tokleh tehe
Sapa bilo-bilo
a great fan of zainal and abidin herelmao, or the muruku that chong wei ate yesterday has something dirty inside
What's ironic here is that although Taufik Hidayat too was hit by food poisoning, he kept mum about it and put everything into his match against Kuan Beng Hong.
It was a tough match... but eventually Taufik's determination prevailed over both the poisoning and his opponent
maybe kbh got a pinch of food poisoning toosure...see the amout of unforce error from kbh...
maybe kbh got a pinch of food poisoning too
...i think the badminton god is playing trick with MAS players.erm...i dunno how to describe....but...there is some dark spots on his neck...
anyway...many times kbh made the winner shots become unforce errors...
