YONEX-SUNRISE Hong Kong Open Badminton Super Series 2008

This is my first on court badminton match experience. The event take place Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The experience is really different compare watching from the TV. You can feel the crowd cheer for the supporting team/ player and the way those professional player plays.

I was there in both the Semi matches but unfortunately cannot get the tickets for Final.. so sad.

Another disappointment, my MD’s favorite has withdrawn from the match – CAI Yun and FU HaiFeng. First seed, Markis Kido / Hendra Setiawan was beaten by the Malaysia pair KOO/ TAN.

Winner:
MS : CHEN Jin bt LIN Dan

WS : WANG Chen bt XIE Xing Fang

MD : LEE Yong Dae- JUNG Jae Sung bt Mohd Zakry ABDUL LATIF -Mohd Fairuzizuan MOHD TAZARI
WD : ZHANG YaWen - Zhao Ting Ting bt CHENG Su - ZHAO Yun Lei

XD : XIE Zhong Bo- ZHANG YaWen bt LEE Yong Dae- LEE Hyo Jung

OLYMPIC IN BEIJING

Besides coke, another hobby of mine is on Badminton. Out of all player - my favourite is the Mens Doubles team fo China "Cai Yun & Fu HaiFeng". They are the silver medalist for 28th Olympic Game held in Beijing.

Althought they have lost to the world number one player from Indonesia (Markis Kido & Hendra Setiawan) - can see that both the group have given their best in the game.

The Korean team have done a very good job in the year of 2008 - where they have made it to the Final in the Thomas Cup 2008 and the bronze medalist is "Lee Jae Jin and Hwang Ji Man".....

my - C O K E - collection

- - s h a r i n g o f m y c o l l e c t i o n - -

Well, the first posting is to share on my "coca cola" collection started in year 2005. It started when I was walking in the supermarket and saw the coke display from Japan so I bought some and since then I started to collect coke from all over the country.

Other than purchasing it, the biggest contributor to my collection is my sister where she use to bring home coke from Australia. :P
