how to enjoy this video (long video lah)
1. press play
2. press pause immediately
3. let the video load (you can see this on the grey progress bar beside the play symbol)
4. once loaded (grey bar reaches the speaker symbol), press play to enjoy
(nb. you should only have to do this once cos its now in your hard drive!)

why cannot see us training

check this out. google earth - map of the world put together by satellite imaging.

farrer park field! (farrer park swimming complex on the left side of pic, HDB flats beside farrer park field at top right hand corner. that big cloud's hovering above the toilet and tennis courts.)

rugger ramblings: September 2005

hi there...

for those who wants to know more on the nitty gritty of the laws of the game, u can go : http://www.planetrugby.com/Off_The_Field/Laws_And_Referees/index.shtml

have fun reading it..

regards,
chongfu

just something random

mun and her new partner in crime. proof of how random mun can get.

keep going...

with the 15s league around the corner, i can't help but feel a little jittery.
personally, the league is a test of all the training, fitness and gym sessions i've put in.
this is also when i will discover the extent to which i am able to actualise what i have learnt and put it into action on the field.

i suppose it's not so much the opponent i fear, but myself.
as much as many people think i'm a brick wall of sorts, barging at the defence,
there are times when i feel like i'm stagnant, ineffective, or just plain exhausted.

we have all come this far together.
we've been through the sunday trainings under the afternoon sun,
we've been through fitness sessions that i personally never thought i could survive.
so let's all press on, and keep going...

i truely believe the 15s league that lies ahead will be an awesome experience for all of us.
i think it's one (and important) thing to strive to win,
but what i find more important is to conquer ourselves and the fear within.
to be completely honest, i'm still working on that aspect myself.
all i can say is that despite the nerves, i'm looking forward to the league,
the joy and pride of playing with awesome teammates...
till then, i shall constantly remind myself,
'the greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it.'

OOOOOOli

Oli chee! Get well soon!!!!!!!!! =)

mac

okay, this is probably totally illegal, and i'm doing it anyway (off-field bonding, heh. that reminds me of a joke that i'll tell at the end of this post.) so here's the question: does anyone know how i can get microsoft office: mac for free? ahhaha i'm awful with computer-technology stuff, so, i think i'll need help. thanks!

anyhoo, here's the joke (and it's real-life. but any coincidences to anyone you know is purely coincidental and probably not someone you'll know)
scenario: post-rugby training. rjc rugger addressing his team
rjc rugger in gruff voice: hey guys, i think we need to do some male bondage.
(rest of team stares at him in absolute horror. in case you didn't get it, he meant to say bonding)

stronger than ever before...

is anyone else feeling a little sore from sunday’s training, or am I being a big wuss?
haven’t had this feeling since playing in oz. i think it’s good cos it means everyone’s getting stronger…better hits and such!! keep it up peeps!!

The Science of Scrummaging

On Sunday, I truly learnt how to scrum.

You bend your legs, akin to compressing a spring (potential energy).

Then u engage, i.e release the spring (kinetic energy).

KAPOW!!! That's some power for you.

Try it.

But friends pls enter the correct hole. You must see where you are going so always look forward oright!!

Now some of us might then wonder... Isn't Potential energy (PE) related to a person's size? In fact, in school, we learnt:

PE=mgh

where

PE = Energy (in Joules)

m = mass (in kilograms)

g = gravitational acceleration of the earth (9.8 m/sec2)

h = height above earth's surface (in meters)

So is it having the fatter and taller people in your team means you will win the scrum?

fundraising ideas

hello all, in order to help dere collate and keep track of all your ideas to raise the $ Mooolah $ for the perth tour, please post your suggestions as "comments" to dere's post. thank you and BLOG ON babies!

year end trip to perth

*hurrah*

our year end trip to perth for contact/touch might still be on so it could mean that we should start fund-raising soon. this translates to us in dire need of ideas of fund-raising, both conventional and unconventional.

e.g:
conventional: car-wash
unconventional: we'll get the touch girls to do it in skimpy bikinis so we can charge more $$. (bwaahah)

ok, so let's toss a few ideas around and see how it all turns out.

making singapore safe and secure for everyone

Following the hot pursuit by slugyi, perenakan mama and one of our adolescent TJ touch fledglings of a handphone nicking suspect on 6 March 2005 at approx 1545hrs across the shrewsbury housing estate, eight lanes of the Central Expressway (CTE, umm yes.. just like in those action movies) to moulmein road, meet our all new ecomony-size, water-proof, anti-theft system (kind compliments of kiam kia, whom this author understands endured the twelve o'clock sun to venture to the godforsaken industrial park where these babies were purchased).

Constructed of 100% post-consumer recycled plastic - HDPE (wall) polypropylene, each of these light weight Toyogo bins comes with six rotating wheels for easy manouvering and handles which lock the lids deterring any schemes of quick access to the contents therein.

Standing at approx 0.8m tall each Toyogo bin fits almost half of one oversized, inflexible rugby player (see subject on left) and promises to house at least 14 reasonably sized back packs (*sans boot bags as tested on 20 March 2005). Remember, low crime does not mean NO crime. (and will all of you stop this testing testing business already. tsk.)

Behold. My idiot's guide to 15s positioning.



Pardon my dots. I tried my best- but the defending wing refused to look smaller than its props. But details details...

woooohooooo

this is test text. test test test.... wooohooo
