We had the gathering. The food was good. I'm so full. It was nice to meet Krisna and gang. Not forgetting the nice shirts too. I'm sure both INA and Msian supporters are shell shock by the defeat of the respective teams. But my heart goes to the INA fans since their heroes are defeated in homeground. The atmosphere is electrifying. The crowd really go all out for their players. I wish my fellow countrymen can do the same too... i'm ashamed.
Gotta see some pics.. ..so it got postponed...Hmm, well, you guys can take out your frustration during the friendly baddy matches tomorrow (will there be one??). Besides, after all those food consumption, what better way it is to lose the extra pounds by playing baddy... But good to know you guys finally had it. Looking fw to the pics.. ..what do you mean feel "ashamed"???...You guys did well in last yr's WC in KL..... ..kwun, Krisna mentioned it, a few posts above, that a well respected BC Uncle did that... Btw, speaking of which, where is our Jimbo????.... I thought he was supposed to help in uploading the pics??..
well, after malaysia team yesterday lose, i had no appetite to eat my dinner though:crying::crying: it was a heart breaking for all the malaysian fans involving me@.. i think this is the best chance for us to take the thomas cup becoz this time around was our strongest team in thomas cup..but eventually HH!!!haiz....
Hafiz is the #15-20 ranked player in the world... his opponent, Chen Jin is #4 and the 2008 All England champion [and he is just CHN's 3rd singles]... what can we say: CHN just have more depth...
Uncle Loh will be uploading the pic soon... Be patient guys This morning he twas trying to upload here from the hotel room but got some technical glitches...
In team event, individual ranking has very little impact especially those who are within top 20. An off-form former AE champion vs slightly "injured" reigning AE champion. Hafiz was thinking too much without observing his opponent was "injured".
A big THANK YOU.. ...i think a big THANK YOU should be commended for a job well done by our Hau-ge (BC's "official" organizer for the TC & UC gathering) and to Krisna (for allocating and providing tickets/passes to watch the TC & UC). I don't think this gathering will be possible without their hard work & hospitality. So, shall we give a big round of applause to both of these gentlemen.....
A big thank you also for those from overseas who willed themselves to come here. Aside from "seasoned overseas campaigners" Loh, fastdrop, Ants, Terry and I, we had the Cat and the Kitten (who had to undergo 6 hours of "torture" aka flight delay), jimbo (always, ahem, measuring up to the players - height wise), Sam, hFang aka Aileen, hcyong, pjswift and Jen. X_Ball was here, if only so briefly, didn't get to really talk to him other than over the phone. Got to meet Henry Gunawan, tommy_bun, Tony Cheng, Charles and Amelia for the first time, not to mention Djarum's newest recruit, smashie aka Lauren. Best part for me was meeting the Malaysian coaches, esp Misbun Sidek who was staying at our hotel. A bit busy and hectic on the scheduling side, but all was well and ticket/pass/dinner arrangements by Hauge/Krisna was top notch.
^^Yeah, big PROPS..^^ ..and THANK YOU to you, too, Uncle Din, for scheduling and arranging the rooms!... Btw, is that tommy_bun, the gentleman in the pic, (link below, post #49, 3rd pic down), wearing a hat??.. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55656&page=3
