teamboat was founded in 2002. the exact date is not known, but the formation of teamboat took place during a warmup
session before rugby training began. it all began when roland played a game of random team on battle.net
before training. relating the experience of the game to daniel, roland talked about him having a
horrible partner who referred to the unit "steam tanks" as "steamboats". daniel then had a brainwave, and
the two of them decided to create accounts called teamboat1 and teamboat2: the name thought up due to daniel's fascination with food and warcraft.
guanghao joined shortly after the formation of teamboat, due to the need for intelligence to balance out the
gluttony in daniel and good looks in roland. together, the trio have accomplished feats such as making
seoul garden move out of j8. armed with their passion for food and good recommendations from guanghao,
teamboat strives to test (and at the same time, destroy) all buffets in singapore.
currently, the strength of teamboat stands at 3: daniel, guanghao and roland. there is, at the
moment, only 1 associate member: clement.

i'mBACK!
so i'm back. i'm tired. butttttt.......
pre-u seminar '05 was DAMN FUN! seriously. the SLOs(student leaders smth) were super good and enthusiastic, which raised the level of the camp. we had 6 meals a day (breakfast refreshments lunch tea dinner supper), which provided much better food than a certain caterer that was in RI. hmmm. haha. ohhmannn sooo much food!!! =D i'm getting fat i guess. hahaha. o ya talking abt food someone still owes me lunch!!! hmmhmm =D
so anyway, i digressed. back to recapping. =)
monday, 30/5: first day! arrived feeling sad from leaving my comfy home + comp. aha. reached early and i felt like a TOTAL IDIOT (which some people will promptly agree to). checked in, got keys, and met my roommate bok!! he's some cool srjc tennis dudeeee. aha. icebreakers were ok i guess, nothing special. learnt cheers + songs (gimme 1 clap, 2 claps, 3 claps, 11 claps, 1 silent clap). a shoutout to meiyi for welcoming me into the group with "23-nil, friend"! hahahaha.
cliffs: boring day. learnt cheers.
tuesday, 31/5: second day! woke up to the sounds of leann (my SLO) shouting "WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!" grrr. haha. listened to the minister raymond lim give a speech, which i felt was quite good. i was PAYING ATTENTION. RAWRRR. after the speech, we went for refreshments! i gotta say it was GOOD. whoa the chocolate eclairs were like. from HEAVENNNn. WOHOOHOHOOOO. eat eat eat =D after that we went for parallel presentation 1, where RJ got slammed like mad. HMPH. the worst is that they were slammed with irrelevant/stupid questions imo. for example the questions were like more suited to be targeted at a POLICY MAKER, not a JC STUDENT. puh-lease they aren't like working for the government or anything, so they can't know EVERYTHING. rIGHT? -_-""". ok anyway. i think lots of pple are just asking questions for the sake of making the other people look bad. that's my feel lah. dunno dunno. anyway, went for lunch after that. and then parallel presentations 2 in which i slept in. hahaha. then the group got super hyper, and we kept on singing the song "country road". wahhh fun fun fun everyone going crazy together ^^. nothing much more after that, just that i had a good supper and a good night's sleep =D
cliffs: day of work and fun. people just kept on asking questions for the sake of slamming schools. good supper and good sleep (although it was short ><)
wednesday, 1/6: woke up early, at 5.15 to be exact =D. 2 panel discussions followed by parallel presentation 3. boring stuff. panel discussions were informative, but i think too dry and unengaging. again, most questions asked were just plain STUPID. asked for the sake of asking. pffft. went to the back to talk =D. parallel presentation 3 was ok loh. slept for abit, and got a photo of meself taken, sleeping!! haha i was damn SCARED it would appear in the newspapers. but luckily, according to my mom, it didn't. phewww. small group discussions followed, with very interesting results. we discussed, and with the spare time remaining, came up with the following: "Actually, Box Could Do Everything Foolishly. Green House Is Jinxed Kangaroo's Love. Monkey Neno Only Pees Quarterly, Rampantly, Salaciously, Titillatingly, Under Very Wet Xylophones. Yo Zebra!" yes we are weird. don't ask me how we got that. haha. anyway, i picked the lucky number in "ultimate number"(can't type the chinese name out ><) and was asked to perform that whole quote. ouch. haha it was damn fun. played dota in ben's room at night with a TOUCHPAD. lol. got owned, although i still managed to kill a few people =D
cliffs: day 2 of work and fun. group bonded alottt. played dota at night and slept at around 2.30am.
thursday, 2/6: fun day!!! first we went for bowling, where i averaged. erm. lets see. 80 pinfalls per game. hahaha. hey at least i had a few STRIKES. haha. but they were, in the end, wasted. boooooo. star in our group was tang/chobu i guess. cho's first game was like. 153? pro pro. teenage angst hahaha. after bowling we went for refreshments before going for golf. golf is DAMN FUN!!!! hehe i feel like picking up golf. =D for some reason i was nominated to perform my "mad skillz" for the coach to see (when obviously tang had more experience and skills), and he was impressed enough to give me a box of golf balls from wilson. haha. gave 1 ball to bok, and kept the other 2. don't worry eddy, i'll give mine all to you =D <3<3. golf is fun. yay. after golf it was KITE FLYING! whee fun. i slept on the floor and 1) people wrote on my hand 2) photographers took photos of me. grrr. can't i have any privacy? hahaha. later went to buy icecream w/ samtan zan shiyun cheryl shib liz. wheeeeee. yumyum. learnt a new song about papas meeting mamas under the tree. haha. then came seminar night. it was seriously good and touching. *tear*
cliffs: fun day! bowl --> golf --> fly kite --> dance+sing --> closetotears. T_T <3 you group1!
friday, 3/6: last day! was kinda SADDDD that it ended. so quickly. went for the closing ceremony, and our kite got 3rd place!! rawrrrr. my BRAINCHIlD OKAE. received some files as a reward. hahaha. then went for reception w/ the minister of education. the food was good, but the interaction was like. limited and too soft la. like you couldn't hear the questions, just the answer. grrr. and i wanted to ask a question but in the end didn't. haha. no balls/too slow. you decide. =D after the dialogue ATE ATE ATE ATE ATE ATE. WAHHHHHHHHHHh. MANGO CHEESECAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!! CHICKEN CURRY!!!!!!!!!! BLACK PEPPER FISH!!!!!!!!!! woot. yum. walked ard and talked talked talked. fun fun fun =D received certificates of participation in the pre-u sem. yay! after that we gave him a send-off. not a red card or double yellow lah (PUH-LEASE, lameeeeeeee), but a standing ovation. haha. then packed up, checked out. said goodbyes and parted ways. aww =(
cliffs: short last day, prize presentations + last chat w/ minister. best food evar. pre-u sem ended.
so anyway, basically, i love group1! ashish(<3<3), benjamin, joel, jonbok, joncho, kenneth, krisna, tang and last but not least, ROLAND. hahahaha jk. and the girls too! alicia, bliss, cresencia, filzah, mavis, may hwee, mei yi(THANKSALOT -_- haha), pavi, (wayne)runi, sadhana and last but not least, vanessa. and lastly but not leastly (i just realised i've used this thrice), the SLOs! leann, minyi and wanting!!!
