Aviva Open Finals

Been a long day for me since morning.... went for my usual sunday run at ECP at 6.30am with the usual gang + Patson's first appearance... I'm glad he took the first step to join us... Alex joined us for the first time today too... its been sumtime since everyone ran (since sundown). So today we gotta reconditioned... we ran 12km for a start. Everyone finished the run, which is gd...

Distance:12km
Timing:
Me - 1h05min
Leonard - 1h11min
Muzhong - 1h13min
Roy - 1h19min
Ivan - 1h25min
Mingkiat - 1h31min
Alex - 1h32min
Lukoo - 1h36min
Woon - 1h38min
Patson - 2h02min

Junkai trained for 2.4km and khim ran 7+km... Zongren MIA-ed... muz be having some lovebite sessions again while Paul went to act holy again...

After the run, we had brunch at Old Town's, Alex's first long run in his life, he said he was starving after the run so he ordered alot... After he was done with his meal, he couldn't take it, went to the toilet twice to throw up... haha... Kelvin sure suan him if he knows bout this...

Went straight to Indoors stadium although it was an hour early, reserved 7 seats for Ambert and gang, then there was this old man who came late and couldn't accept the fact the the seats were reserved, c'mon, it was the market rate there, everyone was doing the same, juz that i sway he ask afew all reserved so he let it out at me... But he thinks i will swallow it?? Old man so wat!!

Conversation in mandarin but i too lazy to convert...
Old man: Is the seat taken?
Me: Yes, all taken.
Old man: Hey all these is first come first serve, how can reserve.
Me: I came early, my frens went off to eat, thats why all taken. (My excuse)
Old man: How can liddat!! Its first come first serve how can reserve.
Me: I come early and my frens were here and they went to eat can anot!!
Old man: Cannot!!
Me: Then you come 9am lah then you can get your seat!!

Then a man behind my row told him got 1 vacancy. After he sat down still keep grumbling and tell the other guys who enquired bout the seats to ignore me and juz seat, but no one dares... really kan tulanz...

Me: Oei!! you got seat liao!!! Wats your problem... next time come earlier lah!!

Fucking old man cannot face reality... So bo liao go shenton way and address those ppl who use tissue paper to book tables lah.... @#$%^&

Didn't blog bout the Aviva quarter and semi finals coz really too sian liao... no standard, top players all play like fuck... i even left early at semi finals coz really felt pointless to carry on. Today at finals too...First few games rather watch at home, Markis Kido what no.1 player, lost badly and swiftly to the england team...
The oni nice game is the Men's singles.
Boonsak Ponsana vs Bao Chun Lai

The game was exciting, tight and very closely fought!! Boonsak saved many great shots and his effort was remarkable. Way to go boonsak!! There was afew bad line calls from the empire and Bao Chunlai was affected, too bad boonsak did not make use of the chance to kill Bao Chunlai off... The game had the entire stadium roaring and cheering for them, it was by now the best game fought against during the whole season. Too bad Boonsak lost in the end... sad. I rooted for him...

Some pics i took randomly over these 3 days.

Aviva Open 110609

Its Rd of 16 today at Aviva Open... The day starts at 2.oopm
There's quite afew highly anticipated matches today...

1) Danny Bawa / Yao Lei [Sin] vs Sudket Prapakamol / Saralee Thoungthongkam [Tha]
17-21, 9-21

This match results is already known, with such strong thai opponents, how does singapore stand a chance? First game is a warm up, 2nd game is a thrashing... Danny and Yao Lei totally unable to return the smashes the Sudket throws at them.... He's 1 damn powerful smasher...

2) Nova Widianto / Liliyana Natsir [Ina] vs Anthony Clark / Donna Kellogg [Eng]
21-18, 21-11

Nova Widianto, seeded no.1 mixed double player, together with natsir, they are 1 of the world's best team, consider Clark and Kellogg sway for meeting them so early, but i dun feel sorry for them coz Kellogg has zero sportsmanship... if anyone remembers aviva 2008, kellogg was losing, she tried so many stuns and pattern to show her annoyance, she was awarded a yellow card... I didn't even know badminton got yellow card till last year... I'm glad the Indon duo killed them off...

Nova and Natsir


Clark and Kellogg, look at kellogg's haughty face...


3) Zhou Mi [Hkg] vs Juliane Schenk [Ger]
21-14, 21-17

Zhou Mi, a long time well known female player, as usual with her slow and lazy movements, but gd strokes won Juliane... But this win was lucky that Juliane is not a strong player, she misses alot of chances to kill Zhou Mi off in several occasions. Lets see if Zhou Mi has better luck tomolo. Btw Zhou Mi really needs to start watching her diet...

4) Wang Lin [Chn] vs Hwang Hye Youn [Kor]
21-10, 21-10

Wang Lin, a new face in the china lineup... She's currently seeded no.3 in aviva open... watched her play and she's quite gd... With Zhang Ning (Ex china top female players) coaching her and giving her pointers, Wang Lin has great potential... Hwang has no chance against her at all...

5) Boonsak Ponsana [Tha] vs Simon Santoso [Ina]
21-11, 21-7

A rematch from aviva open 2008, this pair meets once again, with Simon winning Boonsak last year, this year it is payback time... Boonsak played well today, taking both games effortlessly, on the other hand Simon wasn't doin too well today... Maybe boonsak was training juz for revenge... keke

6) Ai Goto [Jpn] vs Xie Xing Fang [Chn]
19-21, 14-21

1st game was a tight game between Ai and Xie, Ai showed great effort, trying for every shot to the extend of performing spilts on various occasions, she recovered from the spilts incredibly fast, she earns the crowd's respect for her never say die attitude, Xie on the other hand didn't seemed really interest in the first game hence the score 19-21, Xie played better in the 2nd game... world top players really seemed arrogant.

Some pics of Xie Xing Fang



7) Xing Aiying [Sin] vs Wang Yihan [Chn]
16-21, 21-8, 7-21

Xing Aiying, singapore's favourite player... Played against china's newcomer Wang Yihan, Xing played well against Wang and lost marginally in the first game. Xing thrashed Wang in the 2nd game, giving hope to singaporeans that there might be a chance Xing might win the match, I sms ambert to tell him Xing thrashed Wang, only to know that wang was the one that won the Danish monster Tina Rassmussen... I sian liao... True enough, Xing lost badly to Wang in the 3rd game, so it might be a cat and mouse game for Wang since the start... But well done Xing Aiying!! Wang is also coached by Zhang Ning... Seems like Zhang Ning is taking charge of all the new female players of china and they are all doing quite well...

Zhang Ning...


Some miscellaneous pics...
Notice this kawaii jap babe - Reiko Shiota, i think she's out liao, never see her today... so sad... look so sweet...



Kunchala Voravichitchaikul, my fav thai female player, from far she looks great.. haha, seemed to put on some weight this year...


The best dressed ladies of the days... hehe


And lastly, my favourite Malaysia men's doubles team:
Chan Choon Ming / Chew Choon Eng, i love watching them play, no matter how tough the game, they are always light hearted and smiling at 1 another... great guys.

Aviva Open 100609

At Aviva open (Rd of 32) now at the indoors stadium... today's matches abit boring, as per always, first day mah...
Was thinking of doing a little shopping at the yonex booth, but this year's sponsor changed... its a Li-Ning booth instead... another new china brand, seems like it endorsed quite afew china big players like Lin Dan, Xie Xingfang, Chen Jin, and so on... The booth is alot smaller than what what yonex had last year.. i guess no market.
Even the snack bar was pathetic... small with little food items and its atrociously priced.. 1 hotdog/burger at $8!!
Arrived around 3pm, look at the results... OMG!! The results of women's singles stunned me...

Wong Mew Choo - Out
Wang Chen - Out

WTF!! All gd women players out?? Quite alot of new faces leh... Or isit i never follow so outdated liao... It will be women's doubles later, dunno if china will send their "boys" team to play against the ladies...

Some regular faces amongst the spectators too... The unforgettable auntie that goes on supporting all china's opponent verbally nonstop, she has the ability to turn the whole section ard her to support china juz to oppose her... is that a superpower? FUCKING IRRITATING!!!!


Men's singles featuring Lee Chong Wei.

Singapore's Xing Ai Ying won beautifully





1 of my fav... Kunchala from thailand... but i think she out on some weight liao... the girl on the left in blue...
