hey lauren, it's nice to see players taking pictures with other players as well. hahaha, guess it's not just us normal fans who like to meet our favourite badminton players ... keep em coming ...
haha no point hiding identitites, especially in this thread right? hello everyone, smashie54 does = lauren todt *waves* this picture was taken on the day of the semis, where china bt. korea 3-0 and so they didn't get to MD, and cai and fu just spent about an hour on the courts practicing with 2 WD players whose names i didn't know.. they were relatively relaxed (or at least not in their scarily intense game mode), playing mixed with the girls, then doing some drills. i figured that after that practice session would be a good time to ask for a picture, when they were happy to have won and not focused on a match coming up.. i pulled the same trick on him that i did on taufik a year ago (that pic is also in this thread, around the page 40s, i think) to get him to smile - i asked him to! i speak cantonese well enough, so i had a nice exchange with him, asking him to take a picture, and asking him to smile. he sort of did a double take (either at me being able to speak chinese or at me asking him to smile), and then we posed, but then my camera's battery died! and i was kind of panicking until an official photographer noticed what was going on and offered to take it for me and email it later. so we posed again while the photog framed the shot, etc. and i glanced over at fu and noticed he wasn't smiling as much, it was kind of getting frozen. and so then i poked him. in his left arm, as i realized later. and told him to "smile more". at that, he did one of those exasperated eyes-to-the-ceiling/looking around looks (it's hard to describe, but i can do a good imitation in person lol) and i thought i had gone too far, but then the picture was taken, and i said thank you and kind of ran away. i really had no idea how the picture turned out until the photographer had the opportunity to email it to me, so even i'm amazed at how well he smiled! i thought he was upset with me after the poking-in-the-racket-arm thing, but i guess not.. and according to a teammate, i can only get away with asking fellow players for pictures because i'm young and new and they don't recognize me yet haha.
cool smashie. hope you will join the ranks of top players soon. maybe even win an open one day. good luck! and hopefully, you can get more of these smiling players pictures here.
hahah wow i am in awe! u actually asked him to smile while posing for the photo??!! and u even poked him!! haha i would never be able to dare to do all that! remembered asking him for a photo at this yrs sg open, and when i stood next to him, i was ultra nervous and i sort of just went stiff. hahah and i am surprised he is actually so obliging. hahah when my friend asked if she could take a photo of him and me tgt, he hesitated and i thought he was going to refuse! but in the end he just told us to hurry! haha anyway i really do think that that is a great picture! one of the rare few times when we can actually see fu hai feng smile. hopefully i will be able to pluck up enough courage and ask him to smile when i ask him for a photo next time!
who leng chai? candra, ants or both??? indeed a very nice pic.. i think candra must be very friendly with fans, always smiling when taking pics..
heheh.. both also leng chai la.. (the smile looks similar too ) Candra kinda smiled a bit when i took pic with him... as i said.. almost the same pose
