Go honghong! Without you and the other gals , BCBF will be kinda bored for us. I certainly enjoy your company in this forum.

[BoboTheBadder]

Hi HongHong! It's always good to have such enthusiastic members on the forum. Keeps me from being bored since there are always new posts to read here! (well.. except recently since I'm at home and stuck on dialup ).

[cooler]

Go Honghong Go !!!

[LazyBuddy]

One key factor to be a remarkable member of this family is to be unique (of course, in a healthy way). Therefore, u r fine. Actually, many of ur posts are pretty interesting to me.

[HoNgHoNg]

We need more badminton fans like you, with an interest on the personal side of players. Behind every player there is a human side. Don't worry too much about racquets and rules. Just enjoy yourself playing badminton, and an understanding of the rules and choice of racquets will come naturally, just as night will follow day-or is it the other way around?

HongHong, please don't be afraid to speak your mind and be truthful to yourself. When in doubt don't be afraid to ask. We all try to learn from one another in this forum and it is nice to see somebody so new to badminton willing to learn more about the game and contribute in the process. Keep it up!

No doubt we don't always and certainly don't expect everyone to agree on certain issues but we can learn to disagree and over time, perhaps we can understand one another better. The various opinions from posters on any given subject only add to its interest and are for us to benefit from their experience and diverse backgrounds. Of course, a certain standard of decorum and courtesy should be maintained whenever possible so that we don't hurt anybody unnecessarily. But this does not mean that we can't joke or rouse up a banter among ourselves to make the forum more interesting.

Therefore I join Taneepak in his warm words of welcome!

BTW, you seem to give the impression that you have stopped liking Lin Dan when you mentioned "both of us like Lin Dan n Xuanze more n more... until now....... " I hope this is not what you mean and you still like LD. Only joking lor!

huh?? do i sound like i don like Lin Dan anymore???
oops........ hahaha no no nooooooooo............
i still like Lin Dan n of cos Xuanze........
i like both of them equally much...... they r soooooooo cute n friendly....
not forgetting they r great players with confidence, skills n high mentality

[wilfredlgf]

Why does the part about "mentality, skill and confidence" often come second to "cute, friendly"?

Echoing kwun's advice in the 2004 threads - it would do you a lot of good to learn somewhat about the techical aspects of the game regardless of whether you play it or not. Lin and Xia will go one day and what will you do then, support someone else? There is more to badminton than cute players.

But of course, I do quite enjoy seeing the inputs on the private lives of these badminton players off the court too, especially that (in)famous Thomas Cup kiss in Jakarta! But surely, you would love to be able to debate on whether Jane Handcock's yellow card to Lee Wan Wah was valid or whether Li Yongbo really is playing 'team orders' ala Ferrari during the WC2003 and what is the the implications of such a rule.

I think we would truly hate to lose you as a colourful member of BF if players are no longer 'good looking or cute' enough...

Let those pictures and more private life stories to come!

Take my jokes with good humour ler, there are times when I would loosen down a bit too else you won't be seeing me talk about Korean babes in Chit-Chat! I never make fun of someone to hurt them.

Hugo knows, he's been at the butt end of my jokes for sometime now!

sheeshh...sorry for the late reply. Just saw this thread. I guess I'm in the same shoe as HongHong. It's just that I do not have one player whom I really fancy like you do (well, except for some msian players..hehe ) but I still love to read a lot of posts in the "Profesional Players" section. The pictures you've posted with Lin Dan, Xia Xuanze and others are really fun to see!!~ Example, when i was watching the TC from the tv, and when your face appears in the TV, i would say "hey, that's honghong from BF".

[cappy75]

Heh! I join others in welcoming you to BF! Your contributions have made the forum a more colourful place to hang-out. But please refrain from using too much webspeak. Not all of us could understand it, but some of us do read your threads. So please share what you want to say in a more recognisable format!

[aybster]

I dont think you're posts are useless Honghong. It's actually nice to know a little about the "human" facet of the current badminton deities

hahahah i guess gals get attracted by the looks of the players 1st then get more interested into watching badminton tournaments....
so cute n good-looking will come 1st then great skills, mentality n confidence.... hehehe without noticing their looks 1st how to discover their skills???

yah... i guess most of my posts, i'm sharing my personal experience with contacts to the players...

if Lin Dan n Xuanze are not playing anymore... hmmm... then it depends on whether i got interest in other players or not... hahaha
without Lin Dan n Xuanze i'll still watch badminton of cos... but the games wont be tat interesting without them (to me only) hhehehe
