hmm.. taufik.. he's sum1 thats have his own strong character.. if he want to leave.. he'll leave.. i think he will not care so much gua~
ur dreaming. TH can't be a bad boy and a good boy at the same time lol. I doubt he would pass down his knowledge to younger indos. He play for klrc just to avoid playing or pass down advice to simon and sonny LOL
LOL, no wonder Indonesia are in a such of mess. So disobeying ur teachers and parents so to be like TH??? LOL Why not be like paris hilton, britney spears or lindsay lohan too They are doing what they want. At least u would be prettier than TH LOL
taufik is a special player.he has the x-factor.why do u keep critise his way? he didnt give troubles to others unless u do it first.Personally,i like him.he maybe a 'badboy' but its his way.atleast he's more lovely than the arrogant lindan
I wish everybody will try to let go and move on. I believe TH & LD have done that & am now more matured and composed in handling their emotions. As a fan, I would like to focus and appreciate their performance rather than keep dwelling on their mistakes.
Both Taufik and Lin Dan are great to watch at their best, and losing a player of Taufik's calibre will definitely dampen my enthusiasm for the game slightly as he is unique, and one I regard as one of the most talented players I've seen, regardless of his antics in the past. I'm sure both these players do have tremendous respect for each other's abilities on the court, and do look forward to each of their encounters. It's just a shame that we will never be free of politics no matter where and what we do. But I guess it's all part of the package, and these players too are human and make mistakes from time to time. However to their credit, I do think both have learned from their mistakes in the past and have matured somewhat, both as players and people. I wish him (Taufik) well, and sincerely hope that he can at last achieve the one title that has eluded him. I hope too that I can watch him play live at least once before he retires. Joe P.
It is indeed a priviledge for me to see TH played in WC05 in Anaheim and LD as well when he played PG in the SF...great players...seeing live is different from video DL. As a fan, I look forward to seeing the players play the game, their antics I am not too concerned, I would hope politics and game-fixing can be removed but sadly, that's part pf the parcel of the game. And I would miss both LD, TH, LCW and PG too when they are done. When I saw LCW played in WC05, he is quire raw and I would love to see him play in WC07 in MAS, that would be great...so those who are attending WC07, I envy you all, enjoy! And you said it very well in what you had written.
Yea right.. as the chinese saying goes "No enemy/unbeatable = Lonely". Lin Dan shud be happier to have more world class opponents around to compete with him.
l like Taufik and would be sad for him because he's going to retire soon.:crying::crying::crying: I totally would be missing him because he's my favourite player and a player that i pay respect most. I hope he will continue to dominate in the world class badminton...
Yeah will be missing u taufik cause you and chong wei are like the only few player that can beat the china players, & of cos we will miss your backhand smesh drop & drive heheso all the best taufik for your olympic 2008
Idylls Of The King From: The Retirement Of King Taufik Original Text: Alfred, Lord Tennyson ---------------------------------- And slowly answer’d Taufik from the court: “The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And PBSI fulfils itself in many ways, Lest one good player should shackle the team. Comfort thyself: what comfort is in me? I have played my game, and that which I have done May BWF within itself make pure! but thou, If thou shouldst never see my face again, Pray for my game. More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than LD or LYB That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing PBSI, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole Super Series is every way Bound by rankings about the feet of BWF. But now farewell. I am going a long way With these thou seëst—if indeed I go (For all my mind is clouded with a doubt)— To the badminton courts of Bandung; Where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow, Nor ever wind blows loudly; but it lies Deep-meadow’d, happy, fair with tea plantations And the Bandung Basin crown’d with rice fields, Where I will heal me of my grievous wound.”
^^That's an interesting little poem..^^ ...hmm, i wonder how it would read/sound, if it is translated in Indonesian...maybe even in Javanese (taufik-ist?!)
its not this sentimental lah.. taufiq is going to a president .Remember? he wont lose his fans. badminton ia still his life . as a 'pemerintah' of indonesia,we will see badminton as the soul of indonesia.right? dont be too sentimental. this is not that bad.
