Tomorrow (16th) will be the first day at World Snooker Championship 2005 and maybe this time gonna be last year at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield.. as Sheffield, Liverpool and Birmingham will find out on 22 April which of them will host the World Snooker Championships from next year onwards. I hope not the last as my dream was going to see snooker there once in lifetime. So my dream can become true one day if they aint change the venue yet. Wait for me!

Im a big fan of Ken Doherty, Peter Ebdon, Steve Davis and the Rocket.. (I mentioned only players who are play now) Ken aint in good form for this season.. but I hope he can do better in world championship. Ken gonna play against Barry Pinches.. who I have no idea about how good he is... but seem to be not so hard, not so easy for Ken.. as he aint win any tournament and best result of him was only once reached semi final at China Open, Beijing in early of this month.

Darling of Dublin, Ken Doherty and Peter Ebdon

Peter Ebdon.. he is not in good form neither but he wons the Irish Masters 2004. But again he just lost to Ding Junhui 5-0 at China Open. In first round Ebdon plays Quinten Hann who I didnt have chance to see how he plays also. All I think Ebdon can handle it better for long match.

And Ronnie.. he can do best if he wanna.. most of the time he f**ked up himself.. lolz Thats my Rocket and thats why I love him.. I kinda look forward to see Ronnin's third world title. First round Ronnie gonna plays Stephen Maguire who beat him twice earlier this season in three meetings, he is quiet in good form..and he has leapt from 24th at the start of the season to third in the world rankings. Maybe his confidence can beat Ronnie up again..

The Rocket, Ronnie O'Sullivan and The Prince, Paul Hunter

Or even better.. I hope Paul Hunter win his first time world championship! Its gonna be tough for long match that he has to play due to his illness. Paul Hunter has been diagnosed with cancer of the colon. He had been suffering from stomach pains for several months and recent tests revealed six cysts in his stomach. He will undergo hospital treatment during the World Snooker Championship, its guaranteed that he gonna plays on despite being diagnosed with cancer and he gonna play against Michael Holt who first time plays at the Crucible. Paul will begin chemotherapy after competing in Sheffield. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

And no Im not gonna say anything about newest statistic, eighth whitewash in the final qualifying round, in the first for 12 years that James Wattana made it.. poor p'James .. welcome back to your sweet home in Thailand ... and all the best for next season if you're going!

Once again.. my best wish to all of you esp* to Paul Hunter!

Please God!

Draw Sheet World Snooker.com

can see your gonna have weeks of sleepless nights watching this-urgh just look ubc guide and cant see it on telly .what u gonna do

anyway think o'sullivan will win

hmmmmmmmm

dunno why they call it world championships-apart from a couple of ozzies,and the odd maltese and guy from hong kong its made up of english,scottish,welsh and irish players

does no one else play in the world??

it wont have live on air on UBC anyway unless replay later.. guess I gotta get sattlelite.. so I can turn on ESPN, or EuroSport to see live match!! Now I can just enjoy live score online.. No choice! Unless ask my english friends to turn on cam and let me see it through web cam.. he he he~

lolz ..... they aint stop anyone to play.. but who can past qualifying round .. they were only English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Aussie, Maltese, Marco Fu from Hong Kong (what you call ppl from hongkong? Chinese?, Chinese (Ding JunHui), Paki (Shokat Ali) and yessssss Thai .. these are all I can think of so far!!! .. i think Canadian too?? wasnt it? But still too less to be world champ tho' haha ur right.. why they call it so???

Oiy...u are a true special woman! Interested in football and snooker! Hmmmm...many a man dreams about a wife like this :-) I guess u like F1 and boxing too...I also know u drink beer :-)

steve .......... you made a good point its a bit like the americans who have a world serise with only american teams in it . ( stupid really ).

BABYIOY...... i hope paul hunter gets the title he deserves some good luck.

LOL @ Poul ...Will a man like his wife scream out when she seeing cute sport players in TV like I always do? LOL I only watch footy and snooker.. what is F1? Formular 1 rite? I thought Michael Schumacher was an old man.. but he is not. No no no boxing.. I dont like fighting stuff like that at all... and yes I drink Beer!!! so Poul feed me some!

oopz Ding JunHui.. Im not sure if he ever past qualifying round at world champ yet..

Well, Oiy, a man will be happy for a woman that doesn't turn off the TV because of family visits or other silly reasons :-) Yep, F1 is Formular 1...well, then u are not perfect in every sense :-)

Shuan.. Yeah I agreed but snooker is open for world wide just British is the best in it.. And yes I wish him all da best for Paul Hunter.. Im not sure how serious it is tho'

LIEBE.. you always make me have to babbling too much.. Yeah its kinda similar with Golf but smaller table.. lol and all u dont have to walk along with players to see all game.. just sit and watch .. and no sweaty players when u go to take pic with them.. and i can see and talk to my favorite players very close and clear... I dont watch golf! Can never understand what is bogie? par 4 par 5?.. oh yeah gotcha what is hole in one.. lolz

Rhys.. what u think? easy pink is too easy man!! Yo!

Poul.. err.... why family visiting will effect watching TV? Who says Im perfect? No one perfect! but hey plz turn off tv sometime atleast while sleeping.. lol hehehe~

whoooopz ... how come I forgot my another favorite player.. Steve Davis.. Somehow I just see he plays Gerrard Greene .. silly me!! thought he is outed!

Wow Babyoiy....you really impress me with your knowledge and interests in sports.......wish their were more women like you into sports.

Liverpool and Barros still suck though...hehehehe! Just teasing ya.

Yeah PrinceofCalifornia ..... oopz I was read ur ID like Princess of California.. and thought u were a girl also.. silly me .. Anyway my suck Liverpool and Baros going to beat yr Chelsea soon. )))

<<LIEBE>> I prefer tennis or soccer too "

PC.. Oh yeah I remember that too.. by that time I didnt into snooker yet but my family were! I regret that I got no chance too see his 147 ... that was sad for sure about his dad.. and I remember James Wattana from that case even I was so young.. maybe 10 years ago.

.. I have posted pic of Ronnie with his new haircut already... he got skinhead .... scary !! Maybe look better now as its about a month ago.. haha and yes I prefer Ronnie in long messy hair better..

RHYS............. lol .. dont think anyone else clicked yet but has to be the easy pink.

BABYIOY .......... wow what a woman, sexy, likes sport , drinks beer, ... damn marry me plz x

@PC... 6 times runner up?? He amazed me once after 4 bottles of Singha beer he played very sharp last time he came to thailand for non ranking tournament.. He beat James 4-0 .. very sharp and real quick.. one of awesome match i ever seen..

yesssssss jeolous ya.. u got EuroSport or ESPN too???? damn all i can do just watching live score online.. haha poor me!

@shuan hey shuan??? what is the hidden meaning?? pink or brown?

i have no idea what ur talking about but errr i wanna be next mrs Sullivan.. a reason? see my journal pics.. u'll find my sweetie last name lol

So James Wattana is still competing, Babyoiy? I don't follow snooker, but I know he's always been a threat for world titles.

Liebe: Swimming??? I thought you sank like a rock! hahahaha

babyioy....... i will leave rhys explain the hidden meaning .... lol

UncLe Mike.. James Watta still playing.. he is no.35 now.. but well after this season.. I dunno if he still going back to UK.. but I dont think there is anything else than snooker for him.. just now he gotta do qualifying as he out from top 32.. so its kinda hard for him..

Shaun.. okie gotcha without any help of ya...

@Rhys again..Who know maybe Ronnie go for tight one sometime and easy one sometime.... lolz.. what about ya Rhys?

When Jimmy White comes to Thailand he can only pot the . . . . , which is why he's never won here (I won't explain). But Oiy -- yeah, as a 39-year snooker player and fan, I reckon we ought to set up a place and time to watch the final. Think it's possible? I'd be interested if anyone else is.

for the record, I think O'Sullivan is pretty much unbeatable, despite his form this year. But I'd like to see Graeme Dott reach his potential. He's my dark horse.

NO Grame Dott will not be able to beat my Ronnie.... Good idea if we can make it set up a place and meet up between u english here too.. lolz I might be only one girl there.. wahaha .. but who will organize this event eh?? I dont even know where I can see the match.. Its not available on UBC.. I dont think so.. well it will end at 2nd May and final round will have 3 session.. we should start from 1st session but we gotta meet up 3 times eh? lolz we could get really close after that.. well I didnt see many tfers who live in Thailand like snooker that much .. me, u, PC eh?

we gotta find the place... and the date is already set.. any suggestion?

babyioy i wanted to help hun........ i sent you message babe.

I got it alreadyy.. ur too late.. thx anyway

Geez, you really are a fanatic. You said you were.

Anyways, it would be really cool for Romford Slim to find form but I don't think he can contest for number 1 anymore.

Hmm, one thing I miss about living in England is getting with family and watching a night of snooker. We just don't get it here in South Africa, it must have died with Pierre Mans. Anyway enjoy it BabyOiy, its an amazing game
