Aviva Open Singapore 2009

This week is the Aviva Open 2009. And like the past few years, we got the seasoned tickets the watch the matches. All the more so for this year because we can just walked over to the Indoor Stadium. This time, we got a bit adventurous by bringing the kids too. Children under the age of 12 enjoy free admission except on Semi-finals and Finals days.

Too bad, we over-estimate our kids. They weren't interested at all and frankly, I think they're too young to understand. So end up, I didn't get to see much.

Anyway, those hot favourites (Lee Chong Wei & Peter Gade) were ousted early in the quarter finals by some underdogs from Vietnam and India. And our local player Susilo didn't even join in this competition, likewise for Indonesian player Taufik and Chinese Lin Dan.

Hopefully next year, I get to watch without the kids disturbing me and those top seeded players will joined in this open too. Its been two consecutive years that Taufik and Lin Dan didn't come.

Here's a pic of the match between Chinese player Bao Chun Lai & the vietnam shuttler:
