RAFFLES WATERPOLO BATCH 07

CHAMPIONS! hmm... calling us?

Wednesday, May 31, 2006

as said earlier, i am now posting about how the sec 3 gep portion of the raffles waterpolo team gained from a very enriching trip into the inner echelons of the malaysian society, in our delve into the native civilisation of pahang.

here is what we learnt:

1. words can be altered to form names.

yup, we did have a surprise encounter with our very own lovely and amicable security guard from ri! the really sweet one who loves to chase us out of the pool...


we had a truly malaysian experience (meaning it wasnt very pleasant) but we still managed to learn much about their culture. and this brings me to the second learning point.

2. malaysians are fascinated with male reproductive cells.

or maybe not that. maybe we just learnt something new about malaysian men. that they do not something their reproductive cells like how we learnt in biology in sec 2, but instead it comes out of their mouths! COOL!



3. and of course, a trip to malaysia never fails to enlighten us to their queen's english, or should i say, sultan's english...

no wonder we cant hold any water talks...



im sorry if you dont understand any of our jokes, because this blog is about the poloers, by the poloers, and for the poloers... though everyone is welcome to read! anyway, just understand that elango is this really cool guy on a really hip bike...
cheers!

okay fine here i am blogging... stupid sean.
have you seen sean in an obscene scene?

anyway, since this blog is about our dear waterpolo squad of 07, i do believe that we should move away from the "guidelines" that sean has been posting about having relationships with other sexes or your own sex for that matter.

now, about waterpolo. let me give you our dear readers a brief introduction of the game waterpolo. waterpolo is a competitive game played by two teams of seven players on each side, with one keeper and six players. now you may wonder, who among all these carries the most important role of keeping their team in the game and eventually winning it for them? why, it is none other than the keeper!

waterpolo is about achieving a balance between attack and defence, and if a team, such as the ri team of 07, knows that their keeper is super dependable and ultra pro, they can focus on attacking and leave the defence to the keeper alone. jianying and woosheng counter down the wings, tom centreback counter and tatwai shoot fish or bird... hahaha

now you may wonder, what makes the ri keeper so pro? this question is very easily answered. it is due to his in-born lightning quick reflexes and superb tread water technique (okay fine this isnt true). but anyway, you get the idea of how good the waterpolo keeper of ri is and this will be the catalyst to the championship next year. forget the 4th, where we have all sealed in trophies in some cardboard box, for next year is our year, our championship winning year.

needless to say, you should've guessed the keeper by now, RIGHT?

Why is Woo 'wank' Sheng so quiet when he sees crows and sparrows flying past the pool?


Cos he 'ya que woo sheng'.

Chee extra la. I bet he set up this blog to jio girls one. :D Kidding.

Moor so noob? Not like bayley. Walao we almost got into the finals, even with 4 out of 7 people in the team being nonswimmers. Almost won morrison but aiya jianying tyco la. Score past seetow means tyco.

But of course, morrison almost won moor. Shows how influencial jianying and shang are. Foreshadows how they will lead us to next year's gold... too bad moor has zhizhi.

Anyway i dont know what to say lalalala everybody better train bloody hard. All must learn how to turn, all must jump past swimming trunks, all must shoot until can break the tiam, all must swim 50 free 26 secs! Hahaha. Holidays better go hardcore.

OUCH...



however, i assure that we members of the raffles waterpolo team 07 will not perform such acts of crudeness and unsportsmanlike behaviour, for we hail from raffles institution, the institution which produces thinkers, leaders and pioneers, and not grabbers.

haha and here you see the griffin, or in other words, the gryphon, a symbol of our great raffles institution, the school that will win next year's national b div waterpolo... blah blah.

an introduction.



now you see why the keepers are the best players in waterpolo. this is very true when applied in the context of waterpolo in ri, and in the future, rj.
