Oh, is it? Looks more like a cat to me. But Louisa also likes mouse (remember she offers rodents, cooked in a variety of styles to some PAWers?) and likes to play the cat and mouse game. So not much diff!
MS Gold: Taufik or Sony. Unless they were too tired after too many tournaments in this past few weeks. Boonsak still had small chanmce to win if he raise his level very high and hope Taufik and Sony play below their normal game. WS Assumed WMC is injures. Gold will be fight amongst Maria Kristin, Salakjit and Firdasari. MD Gold: 100 % absolutely Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan. Unless they suddenly freeze at Sea Games level which is impossible. WD Gold: If they are not tired playing XD and WD, Vita and Liliyana Natsir will win. Others pairs still below their level. XD Gold; Nova and Lilyana Natsir or Flandi/Vita. Indonesia at least will win 3 gold medal here or maybe 4 or even all of 5 if the women singles play 110%.
For team events, in men team, Indonesia will win the gold. In women team, without Wong Mew Choo, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand had the same chance to win gold with Indonesia leading a little bit just because they had 2 good WD where Singapore only had 1 good WD and Thailand none.
from Berita Harian Jejas peluang negara raih emas KECEDERAAN yang menimpa perseorangan wanita Wong Mew Choo serta Chin Eei Hui yang kemungkinan besar tidak akan beraksi dalam Sukan Sea XXIV ternyata memerangkap Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) apabila hanya memilih dua pemain senior itu untuk ke Korat. Pada ketika Malaysia begitu yakin dapat memenangi dua emas melalui Mew Choo serta Eei Hui dan gandingannya Wong Pei Tty, kini keyakinan itu kian pudar dengan berita kecederaan yang menimpa kedua-duanya. Apa yang lebih malang lagi adalah daripada sasaran dua emas, skuad badminton kemungkinan besar pulang dengan tangan kosong kerana tiada pengganti mantap kerana skuad Sukan Sea terutama acara wanita dibarisi pemain pelapis. Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MNS) Datuk Zolkples Embong jelas kecewa dengan berita kecederaan Mew Choo dan Pei Tty kerana beliau adalah orang yang bertanggung jawab menuntut BAM menurunkan dua pemain wanita itu yang mempunyai peluang memenangi emas. Sebelum ini, BAM mahu membariskan semua pemain pelapis dengan alasan merehatkan pemain utama untuk tumpuan kelayakan Olimpik. "Jelas kita terperangkap dengan percaturan sendiri," kata Zolkples kepada pemberita selepas melawat latihan pasukan memanah di padang latihan Universiti Teknologi Suranaree, semalam. "Sekarang ini kita tiada pengganti kepada dua pemain ini. "Memang saya kecewa kerana saya yang meminta BAM untuk mengubah senarai pemain mereka dengan memasukkan Mew Choo serta beregu Eei Hui-Pei Tty selepas mereka hanya mahu menyenaraikan pemain pelapis. "Saya berpendapat dua pemain ini mempunyai peluang baik untuk memenangi emas pada Sukan Sea. Sebenarnya MSN tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk menentukan siapa atlit yang terpilih ke sukan bertemasya kerana ia ditentukan oleh persatuan sukan masing-masing," katanya. Namun, alasan yang diberikan BAM itu begitu cetek. Gergasi badminton Indonesia memilih menurunkan skuad utamanya sedangkan ranking dunia pemainnya tidak begitu memuaskan tetapi masih mahu memastikan kemenangan besar di Sukan Sea. Begitu juga Thailand dan Singapura, masing-masing turun dengan pemain utama masing-masing berbanding BAM yang memilih jalan berlainan kerana mahu menumpukan seluruh usaha kepada Sukan Olimpik - yang hanya akan bermula Ogos tahun depan. WMC is out, WD also maybe cannot play. Poor BAM, send back-up players, being critized. Send top players but dont win, also get blasting. LCW is also injured for MS, so even if BAM had listed him, he may have to sit out too. Only left MD. Overall, Thailand & Spore dont see themselves as strong contenders for OG, so SEA Games is main aim. Some Spore players didnt go HK Open, just to prepare for SEA Games. Badmania was mad Indonesia tire out their top players by sending them to SEA Games. Maybe he can put this BH writer straight, he he.
Several sports competition have started before the 24th SEAG formally will be opened by Thai Crown Prince today, 06 December/07. Wanna see the Opening Ceremony tonight at 18.00 local time on TV and the mascot is so cute Siamese Cat named CAN. INA contingent has not yet grabbed GOLD so far and stuck at 7th position in medal standing, sigh!

Msia WS & half WD - WMC & Chin EH is out of action due to injury, doctors say they must rest at least 2 weeks. from New Straits Times Sea Games: Good and bad news greets camp THERE was both good and bad news for the Malaysian camp yesterday. While it was confirmed that women’s singles shuttler Wong Mew Choo and doubles Wong Pei Tty-Chin Eei Hui are out of the Sea Games, diver Bryan Nickson Lomas has been certified fit. While Mew Choo is nursing a knee injury, Eei Hui is down with a back injury and has been ordered to rest for a minimum two weeks. Mew Choo, who was the top seed, will be replaced by Lydia Cheah in the individual competition. Lydia will also join Julia Wong and Anita Raj Kaur as the three singles players for the team event, which begins tomorrow. “I have received a letter from Datuk Dr Ramlan Aziz (National Sports Institute director general) on Mew Choo and Eei Hui’s injuries and both are definitely out,” said Malaysian Chef-de-Mission Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad. Having opted to keep the top men’s players at home, Malaysia were counting on Mew Choo and Pei Tty-Eei Hui to deliver the targeted two gold. Mew Choo won gold in Vietnam in 2003 and silver two years ago in Manila while Pei Tty-Eei Hui were to defend their gold in Korat. Pei Tty will now partner Woon Khe Wei. It was not all gloom though as Dr Ramlan has given Bryan the green light to compete. “Bryan will be making the trip and we will provide him full medical assistance to ensure he does not aggravate the injury,” said Dr Ramlan. Bryan is targeted to deliver the 10m platform and 3m springboard gold medals.
