My experience met with taufik hidayat

Last sunday, there was Thomas cup badminton championship between Indonesa
and China. It was held on Istora Gelora Bung Karno. I went to Istora Gelora Bung Orientation
Karno with my Brother, Andi.

Before entering Istora Gelora Bung Karno, we looked the bus that took
Indonesian badminton team players. I saw taufik Hidayat, Muhammad Ahsan,
Hendra Setiawan, Hayom Rumbaka, Angga Pratama, Rian Agung, Simon Santoso,
Sony Dwi Kuncoro and the other Indonesian badminton players in that bus. They
were very handsome. Then, we followed that bus to main-entrance. I found that Events
Taufik Hidayat left from the bus. When we wanted to get close to Taufik Hidayat,
a security guard held me back. But, I thought that security guard was familiar
because He was my old friend when I was senior high school, he was Andre. After
that, he let me in, finally i could meet Taufik Hidayat and got his signature.

Then, I went back to my seat at the Istora stadium to support Indonesian team.
The supporter was very crowded. They shouted “IN-DO-NE-SI-A” during the Reorientation
match.
