Magnum ABC Malaysia Satellite 2006 - Alor Star - Nov 21-26

Off-topic: How to pronounce THNG????

 

That's because they're currently sitting their SPM exam

 

Err...T-HNG (with the emphasis on T and NG)?? Hehe...

 

Ahh...but the World Junior semi-finalist Lim Khim Wah/Mak Hee Chun are competing Aren't they supposed to be taking their SPM too?

 

i think they're 16 year old?

 

Yup, just checked. Mak Hee Chun & Lim Khim Wah are 16. so, no SPM for them this year

 

Both from Kedah right??? At least I remember LKW from the Kedah group pic.

 

Who's our lady?

Guess her name.

 

Another easier pic for you to guess.

Former Indonesian stars with Loh and myself outside the KBA Badminton Hall.

But do you know who they are?

 

Here the faces:

 

Some fathers of Kedah players. Do you know the names of the Kedah players?

 

Trikush and Bambang Suprianto was there?.. how suprising..

 

Yes and they have to play in the qualifying rounds but in the subsequent R1, they were too good for the young M'sian pair of Lok Chong Chieh/Chan Kwong Beng.

Loh

Just a hint on guessing the names of Malaysia's Kedah players whose fathers appear in the pics:

Kuan Beng Hong, Kenn Lim, Tan Boon Heong

 

Pictures of some Msian players in action:

 

Glad u guys had fun watching. Loh stayed at ur place kokcheng?

 

Kokcheng,

Thousand Thank You's for the picture!!!

wishing I was there.

Bambang Suprianto and Tri Kusharyanto
Wah...Trikus has been expanding sideways since his retirement from Pelatnas

 

That's not the point here is it -_-"

 

Wow....a wonderful performance by Sylvinna Kurniawan once again as she beat the second-seed Jang Soo Young in 3 sets 18-21, 22-20, 21-9. Jang probably ran out of steam after the deuce. She will face the second-seed Chen Jiayun in a winnable tie tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Yuan Kartika Putri also advanced as I expected after another rubber-set victory 12-21, 21-17, 21-9 against Chang Ya Lan. She will entertain Anita Raj Kaur, who beat Bellaetrix Manuputty 23-21, 21-14.

If both players can win their matches tomorrow, INA will have one representative in the Final on Sunday.

2 other club players, Melicia Kurniawan and Rhany Christina Sanusi failed to reach quarter-final. Melicia lost in 3 tight sets to Sannatasah Saniru 22-20, 16-21, 21-23. Rhany lost to Kim Moon Hi also in 3 sets 15-21, 22-20, 13-21. The Malaysian player will face the top-seed Sutheswari Mundukasan, while Kim will play against Gu Juan.

 

In the Men's Singles second round, the Pelatnas players Andreas Adityawarman and Indra Bagus Ade Chandra have progressed to the next round after straight-sets victories. They will play each other for a place in the quarter-final later tonight.

The Singapore and JPGG Satellite champions, Jeffer Rosobin, also continues his bid to win his 3rd Satellite title this year after an easy 21-13, 21-9 victory over Thng Boon Seong. He will face Chong Wei Feng in an interesting tie tonight.

The young Singaporean prospect, Derek Wong, also progressed after a routine 21-13, 21-18 victory over his Vietnamese opponent. He will face a Jap player Kazuteru Kozai tonight. The Jap beat Darren Liew this morning.
