Indo MS are quite weak in this open. TF is totally out of shape when he played with GADE. I was staring and wondering what an 'uncle' when he walk to the court. When the players are weak, their supporters can scream until blood come out. In the end will still lose. *
Ahh....seems like u have lots of friends in the sports field as well OT: Indeed...lots and lots of new malls going to be ready by end of this year...including the posh Pacific Place (name copied from the one in HKG?) near the BEJ Building. The foreign players are lucky to be there this year with so many new malls already in place, like the Grand Indonesia, which houses the newly opened Seibu and the Blitz Megaplex. I was one of the first few customers of Blitz when it opened its doors early last mth..hehe...
Me too..I was at the Blitz on april 5..I saw DEATH TRAIN....hehe...When yayuk was still active...I got alot of priviledges..as she gave VIP pass..like Tournaments in Toronto , Mahattan,US Open...good things about VIP pass is you can have free buffet, bar, player lounge..so I get to know players liek Arantxa,Spirlea, mostly doubl eplayers, Tammy tanasugarn ( she is chinese..her mother speaks Tio Chiu)...I did volunteer before for US opne..last time..it was in UCLA..I drove pernile nedergard...
My friend got me a VIP Pass during the China Open in Guangzhou last year, thats when I managed to meet up with Ko Herry IP, Kido, Hendra, Taufik, Luluk and Alvent Went for dinner with all except Taufik and Ko Herry was kind enough to let me stay in the extra bed in his room till the next day. I met some tennis players in the Aussie Open 2007 this year...including the Bryan brothers, Sun Tiantian, and some men's doubles players. I would definitely love to meet more players in the future.
I met CHinese at wismilak 2005...when Zheng Jie,Zi Yan,Liting and Sun Tian Tian and Na Li...too bad Wynne studied in Sinagpore now...heard that Singapore offered her US$ 150K to be part of SIn for Sea games...Wynne is a nice girl..current INA players are not good except Ayu damayanti...bit stubborn though but nice girl to chat with...An gie retired..lats time i talked to Ko deddy at Palazzo Open
Off topic-Hmmm... ...indeed, it's truly remarkable how they can keep on erecting those mega malls/shopping centers, but their roads are just awful ..Esp. the congestion & traffic in Jakarta-uuuggghh ...Just traveling(by vehicle) for 1 mile/1 km could take half an hour(if not longer) :crying:
Oh..7 yrs ago I did play at SGVBC.... I live in park la brea...so are you indonesian/malaysian or what??
Off topic-Hmmm... ..i see, wow, so you must know Trisna and the gang, then...forgot to say, it's also the home of our NGP.. Abt your 2nd inquiry, try to guess..hehe
Did not know Trisna that well...before SGVBC, I played at Inglewood..I know him form there and I donated some fun for tournaments..now i am blank...I forgot Indo lady...used to know her well....I met paisan as well..I have not been active in clubs...I got injured 4 yrs ago...so my level is not as good as Trisna... he is A level..I am in C or even D or E level.. Hm..hard to guess..no pics of you...pls tell!!
Off topic-Hmmm.. ...Indo lady??..hmm It's ok, keep guessing..No pics of me??...yes, there are but you have to scour *a bit* to find 'em..
She is one of the founder of US badminton ..she lives in Inglewood...She and paisan at that time were trying to bring Susy,Ardi or Alan to USA open but ebding up with the young Chandra Widjaja, Meiluwati , ade sutrisna which I took them around...not sure what year...may be 1994 or 95...so I guess you are not indonesian...all indo knows her..
Btw, any pics... ...to share with us of the Indo Open, Krisna or other INA brothers & sisters??..thx-
Never forget how the series of mall/plaza/shop.centre existence have triggered flood catastrophe in this metropolitan. So ironic, becoming modern city plus urban life-style display but very fragile with routine-flood. OoO?! Traffic jam in Jakarta is habitual thing, don't be shock of it, wasting time exactly. Hmm, just protocol-street that have 'attention' from local government,the rest is full of big holes like a basin. And public-transportation, another OoO...worst,far2 away from comfortable situation... Needs extra-patient and always alert to resist here.
