Scream Competition
Introducing the Participants, Contestant 1, Xiao Shan. Famous for her small size but crisp and sharp scream.
Contestant 2, Cai Ping. Well-known for her screams too. Always screaming at her top of voice. How she trains? Basically same as Xiao Shan, together both of them, sees us playing our PSP, will scream at the top of their voices, " PLAYING GAME AGAIN!!!?!, COME TRAIN OR PLAY PSP?!?!".
Contestant 3, Luan Yin. Soft spoken and sweet. But to my surprised, I went deaf for 3 days when I threw her. If she receive proper training from Xiao Shan and Cai Ping, she can do better.
PS: Luan Yin never complains bout PSP =D
In order to hear their screams, please do adjust your volume.
Listen to her scream, supporters for Xiao Shan, vote for her =D
How you guys think Cai Ping fare? Vote for her!
Soft spoken Luan Yin, listen to her ROAR, I meant scream =D
End of the day, we all had fun, I went deaf, but still fun. We might host another competition next time, lets see, how about who can withstand a choke by our girl team the longest? I volunteer to be the judge this time =P
PS: Voting ends this sunday, winner gets to throw me this time? Without matts?

Tough Time doesn't last, Tough Students Do
Every now and then, I tell myself, how tough life is, how tough studying is, how tough waking up early is and how tough listening to my granny is, it doesn't last. What really last and stays, are beautiful memories and beautiful time
I live my life to the fullest, at least thats what I like to think so and I believe everyone is the same. So enough talking, its time for some action and laughter.
Everyone saw Arm-Bars, Take Downs and other techniques, now its time to disclose the NG's. I'm gonna disclosed our private training, especially the funny ones =D
Behold, not suitable for the weak hearted.
How about this? Flying Arm-Bar Not! Yee Chok and Hark Keat is trying to figure out hows Flying Arm-Bar is done, well, they did it, not without falling a few times =D
We had a great laugh =P
I guess you guys know whats KIAI master? Go YouTube and type KIAI master and you'll see =D
Now, Hark Keat masters the technique of using KIAI's Qi Gong. In short, Yi Yang Zi? Whatever its called, Hark Keat managed to use his fingers, both of them, to alter and disrupt the "qi" of our bodies, causing us to lose our balance and fall.
Demonstration by Hark Keat, usually people pay for this, this time, its free, BEHOLD
Finally, a proper Throw, serious this time. FYI, you guys know how heavy is a packet of rice? Its approximately 10kg per pack. Let's not talk bout the 5kg ones this time. Alright 10kg of rice, so one day, I asked Chee Tiong, "Hey pal, how much you weigh?", he answered, " 10 packs of rice". From then, we named him " Zup Bao Bi " aka "10 packs of rice " in hokkien.
So story goes like this, Jonathan always want to know how heavy exactly is 10packs of rice and how it felt throwing them? Chee Tiong volunteered himself and Jonathan, effortless threw Chee Tiong off his feet. Thank you Chee Tiong for being so sporting ^^
LASTLY, The BIGGEST LAUGH OF ALL,
We were trying some Throws and We suggested the Ladies to try out on the guys. Well, Kenneth is the lucky volunteer and I seriously think Luan Yin did a great job. Though the Throw didn't turn out as expected, still, she threw Kenneth off alright. Kenneth landed on his face =D
Great laugh again =P

I remember this day vividly, Jason decided to give me a blue stripe. But before I get it, I need to face my biggest fear, Leon, a guest who came from LA. His a tough opponent and had taught me several techniques. Learnt alot from him.
Leon is very sporting to allow me to pose in this position
PS: It's not an easy task to get to Leon's back.....

Lastly, the Walk Of Shame, this is where those who got their grading has to go through. Everyone will get to the 2 sides of the room and hold the belt high. 1 by 1 those that got promoted will need to walk between them, and the guys from the sides will whoop the ass outta them.
PS: No one is seriously hurt after the walk =D

Our Team went to support Farhan and the rest of the competitors from Singapore. Good job to everyone. Hope in no time, BJJ will be more well establish in Singapore.
Jason is demonstrating Guillotine Choke on Kevin. This technique was widely used by many of us. Great technique =D
I'm the only dumb one to be in Gi.....
Girl Power, Tribute to the NIE Team
No time wasted for Cai Ping, she and her lady team each took charge of a portion of the matts, making sure no dust, or any dirt is left behind.
Cai Ling is explaining to us how nice this smells and yada yada. Well, thanks Cai Ling, You can do anything with it as long it doesnt get into our eyes =D
Jia Min is covering the top right portion and shes doing a great job.
Operation 2nd G
From Back Left: Farhan, Yu Hao, Jason (Instructor), Jonathan, Cai Ping, Jia Min, Luan Yin and YanXin
From Bottom Left: Hark Keat, Eric(Me), Kenneth, Fish(guy who got choked), ZhiWei, Yee Chok(guy who got choked,lucky fella), Xiao Shan and finally Kevin.
For those whose names are not listed here, guess they are busy with their exams, no worries, will update on next blog.
The Usual practice, after training, its time to beat the SHIT outta someone. And the selected one is Kenneth. Took us a while to take him down and got him into this position. Most important of all, I put on my Timberland boots and gave him a groin rub treatment, he tapped =D
Jason thought he could have escaped, well, its all well planned =D
Firstly, we have the EEE( Electrical & Electronic Engineering) boys to cut the power supply, which instantly blinds jason, Civil Engineering boys to draft a building layout and blocked all escape routes. Computer Engineering had taken care of all alarm system, handicapping all CCTV signals and computer controlled door. Lastly NIE girls took the liberty to brainwash those whose not involved in this operation, making sure the next operation, everyone will be involved =D
Thanks to everyone from ntu bjj, mission accomplished
Well apparantly Hark Keat wasn't able to find Jason when we took out the power supply, he went for Yu Hao instead, Good job anyway =D
