Orientation 2011!

2011-04-27T01:03:00.007+08:00

WELCOME NEWCOMERS OF 2011
TO THE BIG FAMILY OF NYP LIFESAVING!

Orientation took place today and we are very pleased with the turn up rate! A very big thank you to all who attended, especially those who participated with us in all the events we planned for you guys.

No pictures today because forgetful seniors forgot to bring cameras, but no worries! Another out-of-school gathering is on the way, we will update you the details on this space soon. Will be sending you an email regarding the updates too! Btw it's probably gona be on Labour Day, 1 May. So try to at least keep your evening free for the gathering~

Finally, to all those who came down today, well done for the effort! I know it might have been tough for some of you today but to be honest, training will only get tougher! We really hope to prepare you guys from the start with the correct mindset that as competitive lifesavers, we train not only with skills in mind but also for competitons. That being said, don't be discouraged because many of the seniors came in just like everyone of you and we too slowly climbed our way up to where we stood today. So! we really still hope to keep seeing everyone of you turning up for training frequently alright!

For newcomers, here are the training details again:

Training Days: Tuesdays and Fridays
Time: 6.30pm sharp, changed into swimming attire
Venue: NYP Swimming Pool

Seniors, training will be held on Wed @ swimming pool as well.

To All: Kindly note that the proper attire from now onwards would be swim wears! Here are some examples of proper swimming attires:

swim suit for girls

square cut trunks or normal swim trunks for guys

For those who do not own any swimming costume, just to let you know that we are going to order our team's competition package which consist of Arena swimming attire (trunks or swimsuit), Arena shirt and shorts. Price of the package will be confirm in time to come, but it will definitely be much cheaper as compared to buying the items individually from the market. If you are keen to order the package with us, you may contact Aaron @ 96213877 or come down for training to place order! (:

P.S. for anyone who missed the orientation today, please feel free to come down during our training days to join us if you are still keen! Don't be shy, we swim in waters but WE DON'T BITE! :D ok lame......

Cheers!

Volunteering for FINA WORLD CUP

2010-10-18T03:27:00.004+08:00

It has been a meaningful weekend for some of the lifeguards here. We've volunteered to help out for the Singapore leg of FINA World Cup 2010! It was amazing to watch the swimmers break records after records, and I believe most of us also realized how it is not as simple as it seemed to organise a swimming event as grand as this. In any case, we've all enjoyed ourselves.

We all had some applause (and free yakults) for the hard work, didn't we? :D

Till then,
NYP LIFESAVING

BM course and Nationals updates

2010-07-21T23:55:00.003+08:00

Attention especially to those who are interested in getting their Bronze Medallion Certification (BM Cert)! Mr Ivan, after what seemed like forever, has finally approved the pending coach to start carrying out lessons for Lifesaving 1/2/3 and BM. The date for the first lesson and other details about the course are tentatively unconfirmed. For those who are interested to take this course, please contact our captain chen kuan and let him know. It would most probably be on every Tuesday. There are limited slots as to the number of students the coach can take, so do let us know soon if you're keen.

On the other hand, Lifesaving Nationals is fast approaching! In fact, it is barely 2 weeks away, and here's hoping all those who are participating this year will work extra hard and reap some results to show off to Ivan! And for those aspiring participants, don't worry, there is always next year. Meanwhile train hard to catch up, and don't forget to keep your Aug 1st free so that you can be down to support NYP!

just a simple quote to always remember: You need to believe you can to be able to! (:

Welcome to the family!

2010-06-30T03:22:00.002+08:00

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

A warm welcome to all new recruited members, welcome to NYP Lifesaving! The BBQ celebration was a blast wasn't it? Free yummy ice cream from super old grandpa-era seniors some more, how nice :D

But people, this is only the beginning. Prepare to train hard, we got plenty of wars (competitions la) to fight soon!

NUS Lifesavings invitationals 2010

2010-06-23T22:59:00.003+08:00

Hello dying blog of NYP Lifesaving, so long!
It's good to be back to share good news and insights instead of making usual announcements and feeble attempts to revive this blog, lol.

Firstly, I apologise for this delayed post! Been trying to find time and all but time's been tight, sorry!

Secondly...

WELL DONE NYP LIFEGUARDS! (:

It was a proud and satisfying moment for most, in fact every one of us, wasn't it? :D

I was certain everybody did their best, and whether or not you broke your Personal Best or got disqualified, it does not matter anymore. What mattered most was that every one of you completed your events, and every one of you put up your best fight.

What made me even more glad was that among all the watchers and fellow competitors, we ourselves were not the only ones who recognised our efforts! I believe everyone would agree with me how incredulously heart-warming it is to be praised behind our backs for all the hard work that we've put in; all those tough times when 3-hours of trainings seemed to go on forever and ever seemed to be all worth it after all (:

And so we've fared fairly well for this year's NUS, what's next?

Lifesaving Nationals is coming up very soon, and I mean like really VERY SOON. Tentatively, the date is fixed on 1 August, which is in 2 very short months. During then, the competitive level would definitely be more intense and pulse-racing as compared to NUS's.

I would love to smile and say "Don't worry, just relax and it would be fine." But sadly that's not the case. It would be a tougher fight than ever, which signifies a tougher training period ahead to boost our chance of doing even better.

In this 2 short months, it would be all up to us to slash our timings to catch up with the bests few, but just so you know while we are training, our competitors would be too. Safe to say, we not only have to catch up, but we also have to exceed. There were way too many 'almost' during NUS, whereby we were literally seconds away from those shiny medals. In order to prevent history from repeating itself during Nationals, I believe there is no better time for medal dreamers to wake up and start stepping way out of your own comfort zone, because otherwise you can seriously stop dreaming.

In a nutshell, I am trying to tell all competitors to brace up yourself for tougher days ahead. Train hard, and while it might be a rough journey, we'll make it all worthwhile! (:

*

On a lighter note, I wish to inform those who do not have their BM cert that your course training will be starting very soon within these 2 weeks, so do check out this space often to stay updated. Alternatively, you can turn up frequently for trainings whereby announcements would usually be made spontaneously.

Also, all should note that beach trainings has been resumed. Starting from this weekend, every Sunday 10.30am we will meet at Harbourfront MRT station and head down to Palawan beach together to start training for our open water events.

See you guys during training then, xoxo!

announcements

2010-05-26T23:22:00.003+08:00

Hiiiiiii everyone!

In this post, there are three issues to talk about.

Firstly, today some of the seniors had went down to Arena warehouse to get direct stocks, as well as applied for NUS competition's team package.

The swim suit design will be the blue colour one instead of the dark grey one, according to majority votes (: It costs roughly $33 for just the swimsuit itself, or $60+ with another blue rash guard. May post the pictures up next time. This is just a short update to inform all of you, the package price may decrease but for the time being, it will be this price.

Btw, do come down for training next Tuesday to collect all those Arena stuff that you told the seniors to help you buy alright, we don't want to keep the items for too long!

*

Next up, we wanna inform you guys about the BBQ gathering on Friday, Vesak Day!

location: Aaron's house at Hougang. Please sms him @ 96213877 if you don't know how to go, or what is the address. Alternatively, you can check the facebook event on his facebook wall. The details should be inside.
time: BBQ's starting around 6pm but you may wanna turn up earlier to help with the set up! It will end the next day, so feel free to stay over but if not, just go back before your curfew!
date: Vesak Day, Friday, 26 May

To go, please RSVP at the facebook event itself. Thanks!

*

Finally, the last announcement!

Some of us came up with this brilliant pot luck dinner idea, and we were thinking of trying it out during one of our training! Maybe next Tuesday..... :/

Anyway! How does it goes? Very simple actually, every one will pass Aaron $2 for lifesaving funds and we will use the fund to buy ingredients like Tuna, cream cheese, ham, bread, drinks etc, and after training we will make sandwiches to eat as dinneerrrr! Cool right, so cost and time effective somemore, haha! But more details we would probably discuss during the BBQ itself on Friday la! :D

So that's about all, hope to see everyone down for training regularly, and please inform captain should you be really unable to come down for training ok! And really hope to see everyone on Friday's BBQ!

TIME TO PARTYYYY ;p

Hi dear (fresh and old) lifeguards,

poster credit to me ^^V

NYP is having Biathlon selection for Biathlon POL-ITE this year! Yes, it's biathlon POL-ITE, not the usual nyp biathlon challenge anymore!

There are 3 categories: single male/single female/team.
For the team catergory, it has to be a guy+girl combo, one swim one run. Top 3 winners of each categories will be elected during the selection days and will be representing NYP for the Biathlon POL-ITE championship and race with the tops from the other POLYs and ITEs!

Selection dates: 7 July & 14 July
IVP date: 28 July

I am not too sure about the venue, distance and all, but whoever is interested please feel free to make a trip down to the SA office at block E level 4 to ask for the application forms alright, registration freeeeee! It would be awesome if someone from Lifesaving team gets to represent NYP for this IVP! (: No obligations though.

REVIVING IN PROCESS

2010-05-10T22:39:00.002+08:00

HELLO GUYS!

I know this blog has been really really dead :( Everyone were really busy with their stuffs.

Anyway, WELCOME ALL THE JUNIORS WHO CAME DOWN FOR LIFESAVING TRAININGS FOR THESE.. 2 WEEKS!

Enduring all the pretty tough trainings, GOOD JOB!

:D :D :D

So, to emphasis, training will be on

TUESDAY and FRIDAY @ 6.30pm - changed into your swim attire before coming in.

For anyone who is viewing this blog and is interested to be part of the lifesaving team, Feel free to just come down on tues/fri to join us! We are really friendly people, We Don't Bite! :D

P.S, Beach training will be coming soooooooon! (:

more updatesssss

2010-04-13T20:33:00.002+08:00

Some of us may be still experiencing the hangover from nitrogen due to the weekend dives at Tioman, but that doesn't gives any of us excuses not to go for morning AND evening training tomorrow!

Right, here are some updates with regards to club crawl (again)!

Firstly, I would like to remind all the in-charge to take note that club crawl is NEXT THURSDAY, so better get cracking! Whoever needs help due to other commitment please please please let us know now, so everything would not be in a mess when the day itself arrives.

So far, our notice board is under construction already. Apparently Shimin & CK came up with this amazing concept (not telling now, keep you all in suspense hehehe) which would be carried out tomorrow after morning training. I will probably be assisting them with the notice board tomorrow as well.

I hope Aaron is coping well with the T-shirt designing, could you please attach and email all of us your work asap alright.

As for the flyers and poster designs, Ah Kuan please remember to do it and email EVERYONE as well. Don't email selectively hor, everyone ah! (:

We also have the banner... I was told that Kiathan suggested to print the entire banner at some print shop, but some of us feel that it is too expensive and a little uncalled for, since we have budget constrain and if we do it ourselves, we get to bond a bit too! So, Kiathan please email everyone a copy of the banner design and we can figure a day to start painting it alright!

And that leaves us with Weilun's swimsuit design selection. I guess this can wait till club crawl is over, but meanwhile let's try to make up our mind which design should we use ultimately yeah, otherwise all the sizes would have been taken up already, and then we'll have to become junkies again, taking all the left overs.

That's all for now, see everyone at the pool at 9AM tomorrow for training!

xoxo
Jiamin!

Clubcrawl 10 updatesssss

2010-04-02T19:20:00.005+08:00

HELLO EVERYBODY!

Hope all of you've been constantly checking back here as it's more lively now that we are communicating through here more often. okay here're some serious updates on clubcrawl '10. We decided to assign an in-charge for different components of club crawl, and the in-charge will be responsible for planning and completing the component assigned to him/her.

Flyer designing - Captain Kuan
Club Crawl yellow lifeguard shirt - Captain Kuan
Notice Boards designing - Jiamin & Shimin
Logo & Slogon designing - Aaron
Banner - Kiat Han
Happiness photo - Team
Logistic for competition (swimsuit, shirt, jacket, package etc) - Weilun

I hope that the rest of the team will assist the in-charge in completing their tasks before dateline, which is club crawl itself. We aim to make this year's club crawl a roaring success ok!

Btw, I've did a bit of research and found a pretty useful logo which could be used on our team shirt.

gimmie some response as to what you think about it alright, spam the tagboard! and here are some slogan which I think might make it, comment too ty:

- we try to stay dry, that's how good we are
- the guys by the pool
- so others may live
- training hard to save life

Meanwhile that's about all, train hard for your events,
NUS invitation is on 19 June!

club crawl 2010

2010-03-28T22:43:00.006+08:00

HARLO, SO LONG PEOPLE!

Okay, guess most of us almost forgot this space existed rightttt!

Okay. Some of you may not have realised, but Club Crawl is fast approaching and it's about time we start preparing for it, esp if we're going to take this recruitment exercise seriously- which we should. I personally feel that even though I don't think anybody is checking out this (so dead) blog any time soon, I've decided to inform through here as well, that we should have a meeting to discuss about this event soon! Some of the decisions/applications have to be made by 31st March, which is coming wed, hence I am suggesting meeting on Tuesday. Below are some of the things we should be discussing about:

booth decoration
team shirt for club crawl or not (and design if we are opting for one)
orientation camp for recruits or not
flyers
during Club Crawl itself
etc

So hopefully the meeting will be a fruitful and meaningful one, and hopefully attendance will be satifactory alright!

Till then, peeps!

P.S. remember to turn up for training alright, currently doing full day training for wed and fri, for more details please contact captain ong @ you-know-the-number :p

Post xmas celebration

2009-12-26T14:16:00.005+08:00

ALOHA LIFEGUARDS (:

I hope everyone had an enjoyable and comfortable stayover at the hotel re yesterday(just now) for the christmas party! Though the premier room was much much smaller than what we had all saw from the hotel pictures, but i believe more or less, everyone managed to....

-CATCH A WINK. (HAHAHA breaking the world record of having the most people on a double-sized bed),

-Eat those "hygienically" and sincerely-prepared food (especially OUR CAPTAIN - ONGCHENKUAN surprised us with his very much hidden talent of baking delicious xmas cookies. Rated the best xmas food of the day! (Y)(Y) )

-drink (lets give FS 3claps for clearing elwin's 750ml martel in less than 30minutes - Another world record, probably (Y)(Y) Shhh, elwin i know you heartpain, should hv bring the 3litres one! HAHA),

-watch tv/avatar ( Thankyou Nigel, i believe many one of us would want to thank him for his 2hours45minutes of translation and explaination of storyline. (Y)

-truthordare-d, (Congrats to those who completed their dare. Especially Cherlyn and Eugene!! Your spontaneous "performance" was really engaging and memorable. YOU CREATED YOUR PERSONAL BEST! 20seconds next! HAHAHA (Y)(Y)

-forfeited, (Check out FB for more information and evidence :D)

-zhongjimima-ed,

-shootshagmarry, (Thanks FS for changing and bending the rule such that everyone had this it-was-left-with-no-choice-but-to-anyhow-choose hwee-ling)

-daidee,

-blasting of indian songs, (Cultural exchanged was very much appreciated, but make this the first but sadly, the last time!)

-listened to winston's awful translation to vishnu,

-Nigel ah nai solemn contribution as the santa claus of the night (P.S sorry for making you sniff and eat so much cotton wool HAHA, -refer to tagboard- you said want to sacrifice you again so.. TADAA! ),

-Christmas exchange pressies, (I think everyone was pretty contented with their presents, especially AH CHUA MINJIALAN KING (: full suit siol~ )

-being a paparrazzi (video featuring people caught in their MOST unglam actions)

AND ULTIMATELY,

-WINSTON'S THUNDEROUS, LOUDER-THAN-MACHINE-OR-VACUUM-CLEANER's SNORE OF THE YEAR WHICH WOKE ALL 16 OF US UP AND NEVER TO SLEEP BACK AGAIN. (I'm pretty sure this totally broke the world recorddddd -_______- ) for those who missed it, you missed it, because WE FORGOT TO RECORD DOWNNN! (TSK, where are the paparrazzi when we neeeeeeeeeed them!~)

Nonetheless, Thankyou Cherlyn, Jamine, JieYing, Serene, Ashley, Jiamin, Eugene, Fangshuai, Elwin, Elgin, Nigel, ChenKuan, ZhongMing, Vishnu, Winston, Andrew, Weilun, KiatHan, Aaron for letting everything goes well yesterday! (Y) (Y) (Y) And pardon for any last minutes stunt/notices by Me and Jiamin. HAHAHA next outing, next organisers!

(PHOTOS will be post soon!) &&, do feel free to add on any feedbacks on the tagboard regarding the party so we can improve for the next outing. We do accept feedback positively :)

P.S Anyone who have not paid Aaron for the hotel, each person is $12.30!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OKAY NOW REGARDING THE TEAM'S SHIRT & SLOGANS,

We have actually saw a singlet from NYP's shopping arcade and was thinking of making that as our team/competition shirt. (FYI, its the first shop you see when you enter the shopping arcade and the shirt is a sleevless white top with orange linings, it's retailing at $11.50 (with the 10% discount) without the printing) It's more or less confirmed to be that design and colour but CK just need to ask IVAN whether is he going to sponser us for that before we proceed to buying it.
So this is just to let you all know that we'll be doing a Team shirt soon.

And also for the slogan, (we need it either for the shirt, if not, for the new year 2010! )
We want it to be more unique and well.. attract people and stand out. We came up with a few and you're to contribute abit of all your ideas of the slogan, then we will choose and vote!

1.) Real lifeguards, hired to see bikinis.
2.) Save life or take life, we decide.
3.) Hired to see you swim, safely.
4.) People who save bodies.

Currently these are the few so, do tell me your ideas ASAP ok!

----
AND PEOPLE, DO COME FOR TRAININGS ON WED, FRI AND SUN REGULARLY.
SOME OF YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE EVENTS AND TAKE TIMING FOR IT, IF YOU ALL ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT, PLEASE INFORM CHENKUAN OR WEILUN ONE DAY BEFORE THE TRAINING DAYS WITH VALID REASONS. DON'T MIA ON US OKAY, BE RESPONSIBLE! (: CYA ON WSC CAMP ON MONDAY :D

LOVE,
ASHLEY!

to add on

2009-12-24T01:20:00.004+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^v

btw,

we will be messaging you guys the exact time you should turn up, please try to keep to the timing allocated so that we don't create suspicion at the hotel. let me know early if you can't make it on time, and we'll try our best to fit everyone's schedules (:

that's all, have a good christmas eve, and see you all tomorrow! tata~

time: to arrive at 6pm or later
venue: Hotel Re! (nearest MRT is Outram Park)
qualification for event: must be lifeguard or associate*.
reason for event: CHRISTMAS DAY!

Secret Santa gift exchange section

First, I would like to confirm with everyone that we have already settled the 'Secret Santa' part. Everyone should have received a message from either me or Cherlyn regarding who you are supposed to get a present for, right? So now I shall update you all about the rules of the game! :D

dear Santa,
- you may try to ask for hints from your receiver what he/she wants, but keep maintaining your secrecy! (you may try to ask somebody to ask somebody to ask somebody to ask your receiver what he/she wants so that it is not so obvious, or whatever)
- you should purchase a present for your receiver which is between $13-$15.
- please wrap your present!
- your receiver should not know who he/she will be receiving the gift from AT ALL TIMES.

dear receiver,
- you are supposed to write down what you want (that should cost between $13-$15) from your secret santa, and drop it into a container which could be found with me (:
- you are not supposed to tell anyone what you want, but you are allowed to drop light hints!
- during the day itself, you will need to guess from the pile of presents which one would be yours.

To all: Hope everyone enjoy buying prezzies!

Our Hotel

If you have been keeping track at the FB events page, you should know that we have already finalized and booked our hotel rooooom! :D

HOTEL RE! FTW~

correct, we booked a room at Hotel Re! and it's looking goooooooooooood! Check out the pictures of the room below! We booked a Premier Room, btw ;P

like a cool only right? hehe, yea this hotel cost us about $230, but we are really unsure whether they have any hidden charges or not. Therefore, should there be no hidden charge, the cost of hotel per person should be $15 (counting only people who confirmed their attendance). But we will make it between $15-$18 each in case there is really some extra charges for things like tax and stuff like that.

Hopefully it can contain every single one of us without being packed like a sardine inside~

BTW people! We're not exactly going with the rule to have so manyyyyy people in ONE hotel room, so... Let's try to tone down a bit when necessary, and b slightly more discreet. We really have no idea what will happen if they caught us ALL in one room, and we don't wanna think about it just yet. So, pray, people, pray.
There would be times when you guys will hv to come in by batch (2-3 at a time) so as to prevent suspicion, so please give us a call before you come up. Anyway you will need to check with us what room isit anyway :)

Okay, currently that's about all. We will keep updating through this virtual space here, please check back often, or follow the blog! AND, keep the tagboard alive please! (:

xoxo
Jiamin!

NUS Invitationals Results.

2009-07-05T20:51:00.002+08:00

Hello people. Good news! I have the results of the 10th NUS Invitationals Results!

For kaypos who wanna know, visit this link!
http://www.nuslifesaving.com/wp-content/uploads/inviresults09.pdf

Have a good time analyzing!

p.s thanks RP (LongFei) for link. :D

Cheers,
Cherlyn!

Well done Team NYP!

2009-06-28T23:43:00.002+08:00

NUS Invitationals ended in a flash. Well done to all competitors and thank you for all those who went down all the way to NUS to support us!

Firstly, kudos to Team NYP and congratulations to Melissa for getting a Sliver for 200m obstacles! Okay everyone sort of expected it already. But nevertheless, congrats Choo! Nevermind the results, as long as you did your best, you shouldn't be sad. Once again, well done to those who broke their personal bests and did their very best! Cheers :D

Secondly...
In case you people didn't notice, Nationals Open Water falls on the first of August, Sat. So do your maths and you'll see that we're only a month away from it and it also means that we only had 4 sessions of beach trainings left. We stopped beach trainings for about 1 to 2 months already so now please people, train hard for the trials&finals!

Thirdly,
Training is cancelled for one whole week starting tomorrow. Cause Ivan said school is closed and lessons stopped for a week thus training should stopped too. Super tight schedule already still come up with so many stunts super lame I know. So official pool trainings will resume next Wednesday, 1st July. And we will begin training for Nationals Still Water, 16th August.

Training wise, we have some slight changes to things, every wednesday is water-based training which means swim+events while every friday would be land training. So just like last time, please bring your shoes along on Friday but don't forget your swim gears. Lifeguards do swim training after land training! No slacking! (Seniors should know this).

Oh yes, due to very very bad luck this year. All are recommended to go pray to whatever god you're praying now for a change of luck. Eat well, Sleep good and stay safe!
Cheers and train hard people!

Cherlyn!

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY :)

2009-06-25T01:14:00.003+08:00

Hello Lifeguards of NYP, it's me again. We received some bad news so now we're on HIGH RISK! Here's something which I find interesting and obviously it would be a big help to you, ALL OF YOU! H1N1 杀到我们家来了!!!

Influenza A (H1N1):

Just like the seasonal flu, Influenza A (H1N1) infection can vary in severity from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms of infection may include the following:

• High fever
• Cough
• Muscle pains
• Sore throat
• Fatigue or tiredness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting or diarrhoea

See a doctor if you have any of the above symptoms. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience the following warning signs:

• Breathing difficulty
• Confusion
• Persistent vomiting
• Sudden dizziness
• Complications

Influenza A (H1N1) infection can be serious and life threatening. Deaths from pneumonia and respiratory failure have been reported with the flu infection.

Ways to protect yourself! :D

One of the ways to protect against Influenza A (H1N1) is to prevent its spread. Since the illness occurs through direct contact with infectious material and respiratory secretions, it is important to practise good personal hygiene. Take these everyday steps to protect your health:

Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly
Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands
If you are sick, avoid crowded areas and wear a surgical mask. Stay at home and do not go to work or school
Seek treatment early if you have flu-like symptoms and if you had recently travelled to areas with cases of Influenza A (H1N1) infection

ps. any queries about medical terms, ask! You got tonnes of teammates from School of Health Sciences (SHS).

So now, we've been so called expose of whatever shit. Trainign at RP last Friday, some joker went to Butter Factory on Wed & came training and we'll be having a competition at NUS this Sat. So it's still best to keep ourselves in tip top condition for whatever that is coming, we don't want to be the first CCA to be suspended due to this pandemic. Relax and chill.

REST MORE & DRINK LOADS OF PLAIN WATER! GOODLUCK FOR COMPETITION PEOPLE! WE CAN DO IT!

南洋理工救生队 :D

Thanks all.

Cherlyn!

LG Overseas trip. :D

2009-06-17T01:39:00.006+08:00

Hello people out there who still faithfully visits this blog of ours.

We are planning on a overseas trip during the long term break (Sept-Oct)! Plan was Genting Highlands but it's kinda boring so we changed it to islands instead.

A poll has been set up over >>> so please vote. And please hor, don't anyhow play if you're not intending to come. But nvm, we'll be doing another round of voting when everyone agrees on it. This is just for fun lol. But still take it seriously to make this trip a success. Poll ends 01/07/09 @ 12am!

Expenses for the trip is NOT sponsored/half-sponsored/sponsored at all. Everything comes from your own pocket. Anything to do with money, need to depend on yourself okay? lol. Those which need flight cost more (like duh -.-). Ferries trip cost less. Prices depending on accommodations too. So please think properly. Most likely will be team bonding alot alot and snorkling, diving if got alot of $$$$$. All support okay! We want somewhere got sand and water one. (clear sea water hor! If not sentosa also can!) So if you're interested, save up now! You're left with 2 mths. And no matter where we're going, just save as much as possible yeah? More $$$$ = more FUNFUNFUN!

TAG IF INTERESTED! AND IF GOT SUGGESTIONS, TAG! WILL UPDATE MORE ON A LATER DATE.

Hey all. Marcus left a note in our Lifeguard file. It's addressed to ALL lifeguards in the team.

He will be back to compete for the team.
Wants everyone to attend trainings.
Treat training seriously.
Improve work attitude.

Just relaying the message for those lifeguards who are not working and don't get the chance to see the note.

I wonder when will we resume beach trainings, because I strongly believe that surfboards are not a very good reason to stop those trainings. Not everyone is doing surfboard events and we should be doing conditioning now and not any tapering or any events.

So does having surfboards really matter???

Speak the truth, No more excuses.

HNY

2008-11-06T13:10:00.001+08:00

I might be a little late, but,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Girlssssssssss.

2008-11-06T13:10:00.000+08:00

Okay people.
Smth happened during training. I suppose all of those who came know what. And I believe in the bad-news-travel-fast thingy.
So, please don't let this kind of thing happened again.
No offence though, everyone has their faults. Everyone has a limit to their tolerance level, so don't over do it.
Recall the past, bring back the happy memories, compare those good times to the present now. Why not give & take? Why not back off? Why not forgive & forget?
Put faith into the team & teammates.
Because once the passion is lost, everything is done for.

2008-10-23T23:15:00.002+08:00

hey ppl....

fri--> water based

Working as a lifeguard might not be as boring as you think. Super happening one can?
Something happened during afternoon shift on Sunday, 19.10.2008. :P
Couple hanky panky in the pool is a common sight. So there was this couple, according to ET, the girl, "pei hu bei bei, ka tui deng deng" (meaning, skin very fair, limbs very long), whereas the guy, I BWG (bo wei gong). LOL. Once you see him, you have nothing to say for sure.
Apparently, they've been coming to NYP pool on weekends these few weeks. The girl, to swim and the guy, to do what, I don't know.
Last week, when I was working with ET, the guy wanted to do something to the girl, and the girl refused and kept shouting "BU YAO BU YAO~" (Dont want). They went to shower and came up after a period of close to 1 hour. -.- so obvious already right.
This week, while I was working with HC, the same thing happened. The girl swam laps and the guy tired to hanky panky. HC saw his thing stand. LOLOLOLOL! The guy tried to pull the girl up the pool, but the girl refused, so he jumped in and push the girl up. And the girl said dontanyhow touch. Classic eh. So they went down to the basement toilets, using the stairs at <<< far end.
He went down, (without his slippers lol) gently pushed open the male toilet door and heard whisperings. But unfortunately, there was a gentle thud when the door close, and the whisperings stopped. According to HC, all the cubicles were empty except one, the last one. So as he walked towards it, the door slowly unlocked and the guy peeped out, saw HC and gei siao came out. Walked to the sink and wash hand, wash face.
Details asked HC can? Alot of converations lei. -.-
-fast forward fast forward fast forward-
Security and SA Officer came down, so the guy tried to gei siao and changed the story.
Ok, so thats about it. For super detailed information, Please ask HC. hhaah.

it is a river.

So please bring along your neccessary training attire and playing attire. :D rashguard, goggles, extra shorts, trunks/suit, caps etc. / suntan oil, sun block, suntanning mats, bikinis, volleyballs, soccer balls, snacks, drinks, cards, games etc.
We'll be meeting at the usual time and place. 830am, Harbourfront MRT. Please try to make it and do not be late! (addressing this to particular personels)

Lets all see this as a gathering session rather than a training session. :D
