Huh, a 15 minute flight delay forced me to dish out extra dough to the cabbie to Sutera Harbour ....... But he's right, it's after midnight rates. Just got in the room, seems to have been renovated along the lines of the old Riviera Bay Resort in Malacca and Awana Kijal. Now testing the, ahem, free Internet access sung to praises by Luyi80 ...... Just when I was checking in, saw some of the players and coaches coming back from late night supper, from HK, I think.
glad to hear that u arrived safely at KK now..and now are enjoying a coke and french fries around your bed/table
More like biscuits and coffee, George, wakakakaka. I think I will go get supper myself at the 24-hour cafe.
ok, hope u have fun there.. and dont sleep too late..there's a morning session 2moro..hope u can wake up and watch it live in the stadium..
good to see you all enjoying SS Finals it would be nice if someone can post some pics. I can´t imagine how it looks like there, because it´s cold and dark here. I want to see everything, especially the seaside and Hauge after 4 cans with Charmaine and Nicole meeting Pi and Xu in the pool... cheers!
Candra brought his family here..Tony also brought his son ,Leon, from Jakarta to KK...Leon is big and so cute.....
The courts are not good or well prepared, I should say...at least 4 players fell and flipped...Nova fell twice and Reid fell also twice with carpet rolling her.....haha...( I am not supposed to laugh) but Xu,Pi,Nicole could not help it...
Dinner was nice..glad that all INA players showed up....some p[layers skipped the dinner... The menu was good..and entertainment was great..
Greysia Polii was full clothed in swimming pool..Xu asked Polii to take off the clothes.....I should say, most players really enjoy this SS final...
Stadium is so small...only can fit 2000 ppl but they do plan to have a bigger stadium to accomodate 5000 to 6000 ppl.
It is fun to see INA players wearing different sponsorhips.. Nova,Flandy,Vita.Butet are promoting Fly Power outfits.. Sony with Apacs ( from Malaysia. Greysia and Jo are wearing fashion outfit....cute...sequel raw.....Yonex staff were busy taking pics to provide the proof to Yonex HQ....haha.....glad to see Yonex pissed...
Sounds like a partey atmosphere!!.. ...talk about a makeshift all-purpose hall being turned into a badminton hall...Hope they won't be flippin', trippin', slidin', and doing all sorts of acrobatics when the matches actually start... ..all you can eat buffet??...what kind of entertainment??.. How many people signed up for the VIP dinner w/the players??.. ...hope they'll fill that place for all 4 days.. *Hau-ge, can you confirm with Taufik regarding his website, from previous page??..
I hope we see more & more players using other brands. Hmm, no one's wearing ASTEC stuff. I thought one of the Indo players would!! The flypower clothing & shoes are nice though. Tim H
Wong Pei Tty had a very big meal at breakfast. She was sitting next to our table. Later after her 1st match, she mentioned that she had to play four matches .....wow. At the arena, other than Malaysians, among the crowd favourites are Zhou Mi and Gade.
Our VIP ticket holders, pjswift and jen, have "migrated" from VIP seats to Premium Seats which are more elevated. VIP seats are overrated and don't give a good view of the lines. Pi Hongyan acted as Xu Huaiwen's coach in her match, maybe Xu will do the same when Pi is in battle.
