Aviva Open

I discovered ownership of aviva open tickets early this morning, when i was greeted to an sms from matthew informing me of it. not willing to waste money, i promptly pounced upon the tics, n the opportunity to watch the games.

onli two i reli wanted to watch - wijaya/budiarto vs. eriksen/l.hansen & taufik vs. the lieutenant. both were classic matches in the end. indonesians having a very fine day by winning them both. n perhaps its something to do with the crowd being amazingly pro-indon.

wow~ indon fans outnumbered (at least outcheered) china fans.

n yeah, don laugh here. incidently i was among the china fans supporting for lin dan. but tts bcos i've always admired his play, which perhaps wasnt reli apparent today. or perhaps its bcos taufik in his day can practically beat anyone. yep. in his day.

its a different question if it will be his day against the admiral (chen hong). hope he is. n let indonesia prevail~ hur hur..

anw i've always been a fan of chandra wijaya n whoever his partner was - be it tony gunawan or sigit budiarto. but now i think budiarto is a very entertaining player. he was keeping the crowd well entertained which his death-defying defence. tts the accurate word. death defying. i guess the great big danes must have been getting really frustrated when the mighty steep usually-killer smashes kept getting returned back with interest. amazing match, worthy of a final, in my opinion. act the lindan-taufik semi was also worth a final.

anw, this result actually is great for the finals - an all danish affair in the men's doubles affair perhaps wld not be as enticing as an indon-danish affair, which promises much, judging from today's indon-danish affair. similarly, an all chinese affair betw, lieutenant and admiral, wld not be as exciting as another indon-chinese affair. like today.

problem today: super jammed up all the way. kallang was jammed up bcos of the NDP preview or smthg, n s'goon gdn way was jammed up too bcos of chomp chomp. poor cabbie. he was soo tired. he even sleeping behind the wheel. n was commenting on the great jams all over the roads.

okay anw tmr have church n badminton early in the morning~ so...

cheerios~ n peace.
