    Kartono looks a bit like Flandy in the pic.

    I wonder whether Lauren had taken a pic with Agnes?

    Not that I'm aware of, but then again I'm kinda out of the loop as to what Lauren is doing these days.

    Well, yea, I know that much. Training at Djarum, then a tournament in Hong Kong before returning home.
    And of course I can't hide who I am from kwun, lol.

    Ade Rai

    Little known fact: Ade Rai was a badminton athlete at PB. Djarum before he was a bodybuilder. He trained together with Ardi B. Wiranata under Coach Tan Joe Hok [All England Champ 1959] in the Djarum courts where the BC gang played last Sunday...

    Even though Ade was tall and strong, he could not compete as a top world-class badminton player. At that time, INA was very blessed with so many talents, even Ade's Djarum clubmates at that time consist of: Ardi Wiranata, Alan Budikusuma, Haryanto Arbi, Lioe Tiong Ping, Fung Permadi etc...]. Tough era. Coach Tan asked Ade to concentrate in other disciplines... :eek: Ade did... and became successful at body-building. Until today he likes to hang-out with the badminton crowd. :D

    Can he beat FU's smash record with his huge arms and biceps? Does he still plays badminton on leisure basis?

    We can try to find out... ;) But I'm pretty sure he can still beat most amateur badminton player... He was the the 10th best player in Djarum of that era... Ade only can be beaten by Ardy, Alan, Hary, Fung, etc...

    Cats with Uncle Kartono & Wife

    Uncle Kartono sat next to me during UC final....at first, he thought we are from China when both luyi n I speak mandarin among ourselves...when we told him we are from Malaysia, he is like...:eek:, fly all the way to INA, and support INA???

    His wife introduced to us that Kartono was once MD players partnering Lim Swie King once, and he had beaten TBY/LYB for 5 times, which TBY/LYB have no chance to revenge...:D:D:D (His wife is really proud of him)...

    Throughout the match, Uncle Kartono kept talking to us, like our old friend...he is so humble and friendly, which we really can't believe it...and, he was so proud to have Halim, MD WC as his son in law....:D

    He is friendly & funny, so does his wife....

    Agree with Louisa. I didnt know him (kartono) till his wife told me so... Got a shock when I realised he won few big tourneys and a partner of LimSweeKing :eek: I think he is a legend now... Yes, he was very funny and humble... :)

    I was teasing his wife by saying "Do Re Mi" (KOR will clean sweep INA 3-0) but she wasnt angry at all... When the INA WD1 stretched into rubber game, she asked me,"do u still think it will be Do-Re-Mi"? :eek: They are indeed a very lovely couple... a true legend, i must say :)

    Wow, Agnes is very pretty. I got to sit right behind her and I was wondering if she was a celebrity. hehe. Mr. Hartono and his wife was so humble and gracious. They took care of the US team the entire time we were there. Mr. Hartono even took us to his friend's club to play some friendly matches with the club members there.:)

    And yea.. I saw Ants with Lauren sitting together on tv in Thailand... So cute together..:p
