Great job! Both you and rwchen got the right answer. Yes Sylvinna is with Djarum and not Pelatnas. I'll have to ask Loh whether he has the pics of your two ladies.
Faint. Chun Seang wanna become member of BC. Hahaha.. Just now he's not asleep yet. Tomorrow match at 7 pm. GO GO GO!!!
Btw, the KBA badminton hall is almost brand new, having been completed in March this year and became operational by about May. Ten courts are available but the organisers used only 5 for this tournament.
Thanks, I see Chun Seang talking with someone behind the Daren match? Wei Feng does look a bit frustrated...
Ahhh....thanks a lot to Loh and kokcheng!!! Greatly appreciate the photos!! Sylvinna looks calm and composed for a junior
Thanks for sharing the pictures.. ..Loh and kokcheng, thank you both for sharing the pics... Hmm, i guess those are the new, fresh faces who will become(hopefully) more common faces within 2-3 yrs time.. Ah, first time seeing Ms. Manuputty(hmm, looking at her pics, she reminds me a little bit of Mona S. and Francisca Ratnasari )..
Sylvinna looks like a Chinese, is she ? I thought Sylvinna is trained under Liang Qiu Xia all this while.
She IS an Indonesian-Chinese. Liang Chiu Hsia is now a coach in Tangkas and Melicia Kurniawan is under her. Sylvinna Kurniawan is in Djarum and she's under Fang Kaixiang.
Thanks for the information, I mix up Melicia Kurniawan and Sylvinna Kurniawan. I think Indonesia and Malaysia have roped in quite a few of Chinese coaches so far.
Entrance is free until the Finals on Sunday evening for which RM5.00 is charged. So for both the QF and SF evenings, there is no charge. Should be very interesting from now onwards, so please don't miss the excitement!
