teamboat!

a brief history

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.

yesterday was the navy 10s tournament. the 2 raffles teams that were sent clinched 2nd and 3rd!!! how pro is that lol!!

i was in team x, wearing an oversized jersey which made me look like a teddy bear. grrrr. den we wtfpwn every other team except for team y, who we met in the semis!! argh it's like teamkill lah. so suay must meet each other in semis. grrrr. that's why i got 3rd baaaaasket.

then the team y went on to the finals to fight saints. wah tough fight sia. after 2 extra times both sides didn't score. then penalty kicks, like pangsai lidat. lost kicks in sudden death. :( NOT FAIR RE PLZ? so sian 2nd and 3rd loh. hahaha.

the bad thing abt the tourney is that there were quite a few injuries. :( nazi and thad split their ears. ryan pulled his hamstring again (serves u right la nosy bastard) and just fractured his cheekbone (OUCH!!!). take care and get well soon brudders!!

aft that went don's house. even more sian. manu lost 3-1. wadahell laaaaa. ok fine laugh at me you stupid liverpoo and arse-anal fans. laugh while u still can.. grr. the food was good though, laksa + stingray + chicken wings + beef + apple crumble (when ipod stops selling. hurhur) + cocktail can NEVER go wrong.

anyway..

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY DON!!!

and so, orientation has ended

it's been a wonderful experience

it's pretty hard to express what i want to say in words, and there's just too much to recap

so i'd like to say a big thank you to the entire O-Team for making this experience possible
to my co-ogls glen and max, for making working with you guys such an enjoyable experience
to the og, for participating so enthusiastically even on the first day
to the new friends i've made, who've provided me great company

i'll always remember the numerous meetings in school to prepare for orientation
the mind-wrecking period where we had to think up non-cliché icebreakers, station games and war games
the dance practices, where we just practiced dance after dance and danced our hearts out
the ogl sentosa outing
my og Z'Oinks!, full of diverse personalities
how their bond grew stronger day after day, and the sense of accomplishment i felt from that
the numerous unglam photos and videos taken of ME
all the dances up on stage
all the fun and laughter
the way max and her mom went out of the way to help me when my phone got stolen
the new friends that i've made
the great company that i had

thanks everyone for making this possible
