    As already established in earlier 2 pages, LCW will be skipping this tournament.

    And since Proton, the sponsor for the local circuit & is one of the major sponsors of BAM players, they are normally required(compulsory) to participate in the local circuit, hence the appearance of the other senior players/pairs. But looks like some of the players who went OG have opted out to prepare for Japan Open.

    and... major tournament in local circuit is National Grand Prix Finals

    So, LCW doesn't want to win in front of his home crowd and build some confidence after a horrific loss at the OG.:crying: I was hoping to hear some big time "Malaysia Boleh" "LCW Boleh" chants, and X Ball come back and brag about how good LCW is... :crying::crying::crying:

    His "home crowd" did not consider the OG silver medal, the only medal Msia won this OG, a "horrific loss" ;);):D. All participants are Msians, they no need chant Msia Boleh.
    The WD, WPT/CEH are also skipping this tourney it seems.
    MD... Fuzzy pair may just win it, not KKK/TBH if it's still KKK with TBH :D

    Dropped by for abt 10 minutes before going off for my classes. They didn't even update the draw yet, I still see CHong wei, mew choo's name and other players who pulled out in the draw pasted in the arena! :eek: Managed to catch a glimpse of many juniors, and also Kuan Beng Hong. Since I was rushing, I only managed to have a quick snap at the entrance.

    I shall return there tmr

    KKK/NHL were not paired up for the first time.
    CEH not participated in WD due to WPT withdrew because of her family problems
    I think most of the XD pair were just a test combo

    Just back frm watching some of the interesting matches at Bkt Dumbar. Its really hot and boiling inside :( There were upset tho

    There is one thing that caught so many spectators eyes ... KKK n TBH never really communicate or jokes together. They joke around wif other team mates and KKK just sat all by himself on the bench away frm the team mates.

    Maybe I'll dwnload in youtube much later, just for viewing only on what Im trying to explain :p

    Division 2 I'm not familiar, except maybe Misbun's son. Misbun Ramdan made it in both MS & XD.

    Division 1..... TCS lost to K Yogendran.
    - Peng Soon/Khim Wah beat seniors OngSH/Hoon TH

    other than that went as expected in D1. From the scoreline, Zakry & younger sis gave a fight to KKK/ Hui Lin in 1st set, 24-26

    I watched Mak Hee Chun/Teo Kok Siang vs Chan Chong Ming's match. I realized that Mak Hee CHun was really drained out after the second set. Slowly taking his time, drinking water without permission, got warned by the umpire for a few times. it was really a pity that he really ran out of gas in the third set already that's why they lost so easilly. CCM/CCE targeted him most of the shots and forced Mak Hee Chun to smash.
