^^Hi Paul...^^ ..welcome back!! How's the trip!! Btw, i saw you @ this past weekend's tourney @ OCBC, on Sunday, helping out a bit. You still look a bit jet-lagged... Btw, do you mean Mr. Kartono, Halim's father in-law?? Or Mr. Hartono??...
Oops. My bad. I meant Mr. Kartono. hehe. You were at OCBC? How come I didn't see you? Yea, I was still a bit tired as I had just gotten back the night before. Some friends and I went to see a movie afterwards and I fell asleep thru some of it. hehe. The trip was fun. In Jakarta, the feeling of the crowd on the stadium was awesome. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet any of the BC'ers except for fastdrop and his buddy, Rudy, Ants and ant's friend. I was stuck with the team the whole time. Lauren was luckier, she snuck away from the team a few times to hang out with the rest of the BCers. Thailand was a blast, the Thai team took us to the beach for 2 days, then 2 more days in the mountains. This trip was great thanks to all the great people taking care of us in both Jakarta and Thailand.
Off topic-^^Glad you enjoyed the trip..^^ ...awesome!!..Yeah, i've read & noticed about Lauren spending more time with the BCers (in these threads)!!..But at least you were able to meet with a few BCers, even for a brief time!..

Kartono / Kim Tek was fondly remembered by INA fans after his MD win [with Liem Swie King] over China in the 1984 Thomas Cup. But individually his best achievement was his 2 All England MD title with Heryanto. And yes, I remembered them defeating LYB many times. I still remember the 1985 INA Open win that I watched live... Kartono & Liem Swie King were from Djarum Badminto Club since they were juniors and won the Boy's Doubles Under 19 National Championship together. Heryanto joined Djarum afterwards and partnered with Kartono since Liem Swie King wanted to mainly concentrate in singles for a couple of years back then...
