1337 stuff

1337 ms paint skillz, no?

and honestly, my mom isnt anything like that. its just my imagination.

some pictures i dug up on the net, from a time long ago.

ah, but those were the days of thunder.

me: front right rower '02. nuf said.

bouser siew: actually, its gabriel siew. but for some reason unknown to the world, he started proclaiming himself as the bouser of shannanagh, whatever that is. his past idiocy is always a hot topic at any gathering.

i shall catalogue the stories on this blog one day.

stiff kong: steve was always IS a weakling. despite this, his constant self proclamations of "i is strong, i is strong" seemingly lent him inner strength of some sort. i cannot explain how he managed to survive 2 years on dragonboat in any other way.

hydraulic ho: a close friend until now, ho and i still gym weekly despite our busy schedules. ho used to be a studious and hardworking fellow... all the way until he met me in secondary 3. i am sorry to say that i was the primary source of the corruption of his being and the downsliding of grades (heh heh heh). he's still a nice guy, though - he never blamed me for it, you know?

awesome ow: despite his dimunitive size, ow is quite a garang fella. now an armour regular and studying engin in nus, ow was my canoeing buddy for all of 2 years. the crazy bastard does pull ups as though he were a rubber band, and does not seem to be able to break a sweat no matter how hard the workout.

i used to jibe at him by calling him "ow ow sa lak kao, sin-ga-poh bo beh zao" (the old 369 cheer).

actually, i still do. heh.

jonathan tita-ngiam: ngiam has insane arm strength. ngiam can do 35+ pullups. ngiam is a cheeky fellow with a weakness for the fairer sex (although he doesnt show it til you've nabbed him).

haha.

the fucking extra: this guy here's my junior. for some weird reason, he's in this picture. i cannot for the life of me remember his name.

brother, you dont belong here man. this is where the stuff of legend reside, know?

ayhg: hau geng is another old pal whom i've known since way back in the ncc days. he still can do 30 pull ups, if im not wrong. fucking unshakeable.

by small coincidence, his name kinda sounds like the neighbourhood hougang.

shaun chia enyi: why is shaun known as the du shou yao wang (direct translation: poison-medicine king)?

shaun basically has... well... umm.. sorta like.. major acne? i dont exactly know the term for it, but basically its the necessary-to-visit-the-national-skincare-centre type of acne.

when he over exerts himself during trainings, the pimples on his face are liable to burst (yes i kid you not). you cannot imagine how off it is to see someone running around with blood pouring from his face and smeared all over his shirt during trainings.

so we named shaun the poison king. this stemmed from our logic that whatever must be in his pimples ought to be highly toxic and can be fired at will, so to speak. like the venomancer from dota la.

the venomancer
shaun chia en yi

For those obsessed with death, poison is a necessary study. However, Shaun went a step too far. He experimented upon himself with various toxins and chemicals so that he could learn the secrets of death. These twisted his mind and mutated his body into a hideous creature which embodies an immense hatred for all things pure. He can strike an enemy with a concentrated shot of poison or even spread a toxic gas throughout an entire area, severely weakening beast and human alike.

people i left out but who are in the picture: lemuel, derrick and pk. i dont seem to recall giving any of them nicknames, so i'll just leave it at that.

team '02 was a fucking awesome team. we bagged the gold medal at the singapore international dragonboat festival for our 24 crew boat, owning teams like safra and safsa in the process.

not national schools, you unnerstand? fuckin' nationals baby.

basically, we were the fucking best team in singapore at that moment. that's right - we were the fucking numero uno.

so what does that mean?

got that?
