DA PATRIOTIC SONG!

due to the constant nagging (ok lah persuading) by our dear mother Zen, here's the song that was delivered emphatically that chalet night. haha enjoy!

*Sung in the tune of "We are Singapore"

There was a time when people said that Saints Bowling won't make it,
But we did.
There was a time when it seemed that we could not beat ACSi,
But we did.

Our CCA has no PT,
But nevermind it's okay! We can still win arm wrestling!

Wherever we go, we take taxi
But yet we're still, late for training
And if it's more than two hours, we all complain
Coz we're Saints Bowling, and mighty we will be

Memories aplenty, that's what Saints Bowling is
Who could ever forget Vincent strumming his guitar
And that time when Kok Kin shat in the urinal
Or when we did one hour of CIP,
And claimed seven hours for free!

We are Saints Bowling, we are Saints Bowling
No one supports us at our nationals
We are Saints Bowling, we are Saints Bowling
We're the best CCA you could ever be in

*Repeat Chorus!!

Continue blogging people! Prom pics anybody?!?

HEY SENIORS!

Now it's my turn to thank you guys! I'm glad you did have fun during the chalet. It was my first time planning for such an occasion. Pardon me for any flaws! Haha! Yep, we juniors had great fun from the first day till the last day! Totally! And i agree with Zen, that it was reminiscent to the KL trip! It's always great to bond with you seniors. Because it's times like these, where we can become our crappiest, craziest and high-est selves! haha. Like during the 2nd night in our room. We all went super high especially Weikang and me! we were like burping and all hahaha. And not to forget the taboo session and the time we played bluff and heart attack on the 1st night. I'll never ever forget these man! These will be great additions to my memory book of my time in Saintsbowling!

When I look back at this year, I feel that we've definitely had great and best fun. Well this is probably a reason for this year passing so quickly because time flies when you're having fun. Haha corny it seems, but it's really true! I wish time passed slower during the KL trip, our PT sessions, our trainings for A div, A div itself, our outings and of course this recent chalet! Oh well, we will still remain as a family even after you guys take your leave. Maybe when we become real aunties and uncles in the many years to come, we will all be bowling kakis! And our kids will all be in Saintsbowling, taking over us! Haha that'll be the coolest thing ever!

Well, here's a short time-line of the highlights of this year. First, it was the KL trip! We bonded the most during this trip and us juniors would like to thank you seniors, because if not for you guys, it would not have been such a memorable and a successful one. Before the trip, we were still quite reserved to our various cliques and were less open. During the trip, we saw our real selves! I'm sure you guys didn't expect me to be crazy right? I think i was kinda quiet before the trip. I'll remember the 2lies1truth game the most! Really the moment this year where i laughed the hardest and most! the charades(did i spell it correctly?) game too! I remember that i had to act like Jennifer Lopez! Haha. Some of us came back to singapore with firmer abs or even a 6-pack! And i had such great fun that i even forgot about my jeans! I left it at the hotel wardrobe. Haha. Oh well luckily my uncle living there helped me retrieve it. No worries! Okay i'm digressing. PT's next!

Now, we were already a family! Smiling everytime we were together. And we bonded even more as a team during our PT sessions! Going high and all at the basketball court was now a norm. Playing floorball with 2 sticks! 1 for hitting, 1 for throwing. Remember? We looked like we were deprived or something. And Anuaar slipping and falling on his butt. I'll never forget that. It sent me to the ground in laughter. The sound was like PIAK! Haha.

Then came A div. We prepared ourselves mentally and physically as well as bonded even more during trainings! And you seniors made us look even more forward to training. Remember the crazy stuff we did like dancing at the foulline? Glenn doing his poledance and ballet, Lionel doing his chicken dance? Haha. And during A div itself, the tension level was at maximum! This time we had very tough competition and i guess it was our team bond which gave us the slight edge, and led us to our 3rd consecutive victory. Well we J1s underperformed though, but we won't disappoint next year! We didn't have much supporters but so what? We as a team was enough, with Anuaar's shouting being louder than maybe 2131431412 supporters of other schools combined. Haha! I'll never ever forget the shoutings, cheerings, screamings and most importantly, strikings and sparings! And GIRLYMANNNNN! Woooo i still know the lyrics okay.

As A div drew to a close, we then began to ponder, "What would life be like now?" . There was this emptiness during trainings. It felt awkward like there was something missing.

To all seniors, we'd like to thank you guys for everything. Our year would have been super empty and less vibrant if not for you guys. And as you take your leave, we all wish you the best in whatever you do. And like when when people read books or watch movies, there will always be a favourite chapter or episode. We hope this year is one of your favourite, if not your favourite chapter! It's not the end though, we will still see each other definitely!

Don't stop bowling too okay? Haha feel free to join us during our trainings as well! You are most welcome :D

Much love from the J1s and me( the next captain), Brandon! :D

Hey Juniors!

Sorry for being incoherent during my speech at the chalet, didnt really prepare it well and with 30 pairs of eyes on me I felt a lil shy hahaha sorry. Anyways! I hope you guys will keep this blog alive and kicking. Anybody can post, so just go ahead and blog about anything you'd like, such as details for activities, trainings, as well as competition dates (PLEASE POST YOUR A DIV SQUAD TIMINGS FOR NEXT YEAR SO WE CAN COME DOWN TO COME RAH-RAH YOU GUYS ON (: ) esp if the details for a page of SMS is too long. And it will be great too if you guys motivate each other along as well (: Or even just blog whatever you like la, like whatever gossip that's going on so we nosey seniors can find out what you juniors are up to. Teehee! Photos as well! Haha last year our seniors (the J3s) posted up prom pics so I guess we'll do the same this year. Then you can actually SEE who the real HEARTTHROBS are in the team (savehelmichew) (x (x (x

The chalet was fun (: Food was good, the chefs were wonderful so CLAPCLAP! :D Thanks for planning and holding the farewell for us, you guys, especially to the Captains Clara and Brandon. Haha I thought the most fun was when the team just hung out together to play Taboo and basically just LAUGHEDANDLAUGHEDANDLAUGHED which was certainly reminiscent to our KL trip this year (: I'm sure we all will never forget that trip. I dont think we've ever laughed so much or so hard in a space of 3 days. Hahaha. And if you were in the first bedroom during the first night when we played cards, twas da funniest when Calvin was around. For those who werent there, he was damn damn hilarious. We were playing Bluff and I think Calvin only learnt it there and then. When he suspected somebody of bluffing, he went, "Eh I think he CHEAT!" Hahaha okay maybe tis not that funny here but the response should have been like, "BLUFF!!!" or sth but he said "HE CHEAT! HE CHEAT!" Hahaha. Then we were playing Daidee I think. Brandon put a King card down then Calvin put a Queen. Then I think there was some mix-up or what then he said innocently, "Brandon is the King what, then I'm the Queen." HAHAHA OMG. We just exploded into laughter! Lols. I will miss that man.

Being in Saints Bowling was really a great great great experience of my life. Really. I dont think any other team will match up to the Saints Bowling experience. I will certainly be thinking of Saints Bowling if I bowl again in Uni when in a new team. We've been really close with our seniors and learnt a lot from them, and recently we had you guys under our wings not only as juniors, teammates or friends but as a family (: I'll never forget that tagline of our KL trip - We came as friends and left as a family (: It will forever be ingrained in my bank of memories man. You guys are really the funniest, funnest, friendliest bunch of juniors any seniors can have. It's really great to watch you guys bond from Day One till now (: We watch as proud parents man. Haha. (No wonder we're the aunties and uncles and fathers and mothers of some of you guys (: )

I feel that we seniors have grown a lot over the past 2 years. Both physically and mentally (haha for physically, look at the photos in this blog of us in KL trip 2006. I think I look weird. Hahahaha!). Our batch really went through a lot together, from honing and improving our bowling talents, accepted each other's differences along the way and managed to sustain ourselves even when our seniors left. I really do hope that you guys will manage to sustain yourselves and continue to pass on the Saints Bowling team spirit down to your own juniors. and continue our customs (our cheers, building that special family bond, always happening 'PT' sessions, etc). Remember to FOCUS as your new captains have proposed to you guys. I really think it'd help, though we didnt exactly had that for our batch. Do SAJC proud (: Be ruthless in training, make full use of the time, bond with your teammates at the same time too, and be ruthless during competition too except with sportmanship. That is really important okay, guys, I'm sure we've learnt that this year from other JCs (remember to tell that to your supporters next year too!). And keep up with the teambonding activities and join them, guys! The strong bond that we possess as a team is what makes us different from other teams and also the winning formula. We cry instead of feel angry when we lose and we comfort those who feel down. Oh and do make use of Uncle Adam, guys! Haha. He's everrrrrrrready to help man. I think we're really lucky to have him. He's not just our coach but a surrogate father/friend whom you can poke fun with. Hahaha. Better luck next time with the cake! (x

Okay ah! Just give us a ring if you all wna hang out, da girls are especially FREEEEE till we go Uni (hopefully we do :S ) next year while most of the guys will only be going into NS in April. Any problem, we'll still be here for you guys (:

Oh and if anybody needs notes from us, FEEL FREEEEE TO ASK! Cos we've ended our A's already, may throw them away if you dont grab them from us cos some of us may be too happy and joyous that we may burn/shred/tear/spit/abuse/vandalise/yougettheidea to our notes/textbooks. If anything happens to your GCs you've backup-just ask us. Haha. So yep! Lelong lelong!

Okay play hard in the meantime! Dont stop bowling too!

Much looooooooooovvvvveee from your loveleeeeeeeeeeee Captain,
Zen (:
