It's always nice to put a face to a name Adelina, I'm the guy with the tripod and handicam sitting 3 seats away to your left. :)

Ahh, I think I know which one you are Joe. We must do better next year and do a BC Banner! :) I might even play in next year's open if I can get my A into G and train properly...sigh.

Kwun, I'll wear badminton outfit that shows BC on it if you would like to sponsor me for next year, :D
 
It's great to know that Zhou Mi is enjoying her Badminton

Had a quick word with Zhou Mi...

Ok, asked her 2 questions. First, does she think she'll be the first Final Super Series Women's Champion? A bit strange but she said these days, she doesn't enter tournaments concentrating to win but more for the enjoyment of the sport really.

2nd Question: Why is she not playing for China and instead play for Hong Kong? It wasn't her who had the choice of who to play for but China didn't want her anymore because they wanted to make place for back up players. But she still loved the sport so much and playing for Hong Kong gave her the opportunity to keep playing the game she loves so much and so she went there.

jhirata ... Yes, you BCers going to the tournament have forgotten to create a thread to gather our BCers together.

Looking forward to one day when BC can do what KLRC is doing now

I think the 'fault receiver' at game point really unsettled the Indonesian pair. They just didn't look anywhere near as determined in the second game; not that the Taiwanese pair gave them any chance to do that.

Plus no coach accompanying them :o The presence of a coach will certainly help to change tactics in the second set.

Indeed I did, actually a few of my friends (Andrew and Andre) pointed you out to me :D

As soon as I can free up some time I'll get on to encoding the footage I've got and upload them. Problem is I've got 2 toddlers which take up most of my time. :)

Yup, I second that sponsorship idea kwun. :P
Looking forward to next year's tournament!
 
I was in their first year. I used to play reps back in my high school days; Jo Hindley, Rachel's older sister was my mixed partner back then.

Now I'm married with children, so I take any badminton I can get gratefully. :)
If anyone is wanting a game of singles, I'm your man!
 
I'm A/B at the beginning of the year after all the meals and hollidays, but by mid-year, provided I get enough games, I'll be an A :D
 
Oh dear. Too hardcore for me, I'm only C-grade at MUBC.. At least I won Closed champs MS C-grade but oh well..
 
MUBC eh? I was a committee there a couple of years ago, still a member though... just don't seem to have enough time these days for club days.

Next year I'm planning to play more, possibly back into reps if all goes according to plan.

I'm always keen for a game though, we can get a bunch of people together and just play for a couple of hours over the weekend.
 
Oh yes, sure. No MUBC for a few weeks because of exams.. how lame. I need to play more :P..

We should have a BCBF meet-up at KLRC NZ OPEN next year too..
 
There you are...

I will try and interview Zhou Mi, Sairul and Tsun Seng on behalf of Badminton Central. (Hope this is ok with you Kwun :P)

If I do get a chance to speak to them, any particular burning questions you guys want answered by these 3, especially if you're big fans? This is your chance now! :P
