PBSI scratched his name from the IO draw because Taufik wrote himself out first! He dismissed himself first. I believe, this time around, PBSI is really ready to write him off from PBSI altogether... I wish Taufik shall choose the most honorable way out: if he doesn't want to do his job to the best of his abilities anymore, then completely step down and let his successors take over. Things should be done gracefully and with respect. However imperfect PBSI was [and is], they did provide funds, time, attention, gave him the opportunity for Taufik to rise towards his superstardom...
not that his road looks very bad, but its da end of road for him~! wonder wad happened to Andre.. where's tat guy who won WCH last yr... nvm.. still young...
What drama.... ..ah, i think this is what we need to read about, some drama before the Olympics game...And what do we know, another drama from our Taufik and PBSI, just before the Olympics, déjà vu all over again (like in 2004)??... Ah well, maybe Taufik is trying to find ways to skip the upcoming Olympics, thus so many reasons and excuses.... ..partly because this yr is the Olympics yr. and many top players decided not to attend for the reason of preparation..And this IO tourney, along with the recently ended S'pore Open, happened to occur very close to the Olympics. ..didn't you mention to her coach (from S'pore to Jkt) that you'll follow and "stalk" her every moves, whilst she's in Jkt??..Maybe she decided to pull a fast one on you, by mentioning that she won't come so you won't be able to "follow" her...
