ya we saw u but we were in a hurry to go back stadium to watch my fav mas wd in action cos gallery seat cant reserved. haha. too bad they lost. heartbreaking.it was so close 19-21 in g3
It's true that I stayed at home during the finals but that's because I had another badminton session scheduled for 7pm It was also because (as I put it to kwun), one can eat, drink, smoke, swear and be generally intolerable when in front of the TV at home PS: Perhaps abedeng should be fined for not turning up
So Sealman is the lucky man huh! I also saw Sealman outside the SIS when I was rushing to get inside so as not to miss the earlier matches. Poor Sealman was still perspiring profusely trying to finish his cup of hot coffee in a rather hot afternoon. Hope cheeyf and you enjoyed your short stay in Singapore and the SO.
Too far away and too much of a rush for me. And I do not wish to be taken to task by Oldhand too and having to pay a fine as well. So I'm on the side of Bro Din.
I have this strange feeling that Chong Wei lost to prevent you from coming to the Singapore Open If it's any consolation, we have tons of wonderful pictures in this thread. Enjoy!
actually I thought you mistook me for a player and wanted my autograph bo bian... i need my 'drug' to perk me up
Mr Oldhand, can you please elaborate more on "bubbly, bubbly". I only see images of bubbles getting bigger and bigger! As for cute cheeyf, I could only recall that she talks like a machine gun.
Women's Doubles Final China's Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting (5) took 55 mins to overcome Indonesia's unseeded pair of Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii just to win in straight games of 21-14, 21-13 to be crowned the Singapore Open WD champions. The Indonesian pair impressed and delighted the spectators in all their five matches before bowing out. Their best performance was when they beat Malaysia's WR1 and top seed Chin and Wong in the quarter final. They should be a team to watch in the near future. Here was their successful journey to the final and their unfortunate opponents who lost to them: SF - Lena Frier Kristiansen/Kamilla Rytter Huhl (DEN) (8) 22-20, 21-12 QF - Chin Eei Hui/Wong Pei Tty (MAS) (1) 17-21, 21-16, 21-19 R2 - Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei (SIN) 21-12, 21-17 R1 - Jang Ye Na/Kim Mi Young (KOR) 21-10, 21-8
The INA pair is good, yes. But I would say their best performance was in the final itself, not the quarterfinals or semifinals. It was a hard and fast-paced game where the scoreline flatters to deceive. Whereas in the q-finals and semis, there were more errors and flat play from Nitya.
Yes, on second thoughts I have to agree although beating the WR! must be a highlight. I suppose you'll be in Senayan on Friday? Or are you there already? Hope Krisna and Rudy take good care of you.
