Chill Out @ Harry's!

Chill out @ Harry's for Only $3 a Drink and FREE Tapas
A Special Event for ALL NBS ALumni

Catch up with your fellow alumni, unwind after a hard day's work and widen your network for just $3 a drink! What's more, tapas is on us!!!

Date: 5 October 2006 (Thursday)
Venue: Upstairs @ Harry's Bar, 28 Boat Quay (Next to PennyBlack)
Time: 6:30pm- 10pm

For more information, please click here.

There are already quite a number of people who are attending this event. Seems like non NBS alumni members are also free to attend this event. Basically, it would be a graceful coordination between the members and the non members like passing out the free tapas stealthily from one end to the other.

See you there!

Sentosa Outing

Saturday, 10 am, DRATSS' members appeared one by one at Harbourfront and nearly took control of the whole of Wan Jiao Kaya Toast shop for their breakfast. Laughters resounded in the whole of the shop as curious faces turned to locate the source of the cacophony. Lots of eggs and lots toasts later, the team adjourned to Sentosa where the party begins.

We were lucky to find a nice big sandy patch along Siloso beach and the cones were immediately placed. Only gripe was that the sand was scorching hot and our feet cringed in pain from the searing heat. However, the action began once the discs were in the air and layout action was served one by one as the game intensified. We invited once again curious stares as most would have never seen ultimate frisbee being played before. More stares when the disc strayed into the restaurant adjacent to the playing ground, narrowly missing heads and smashing into plates and cups, a couple of times I must mention. Oops.

Other than that, the game went on for the next few hours before we surrendered to battered feet at nearly 7p.m.

Buffet
Going without food for the whole day and fueled purely by adrenalin was amazing and as we pulled our tired bodies along, we headed to Hotel Rendezvous, Straits Buffet to stuff our faces.

I must say, the food there was borderline and going at $30.00 per head. If special credit card privileges that brought the cost to $26 per head, I would find the buffet unworthy. The service was poor- I requested a fork at the start of my meal and towards the end of my meal after an hour, there was still no sight of it. Forking hell.

A great day nonetheless, and a bigger party next weekend.

Post Mortem Of Dratss' 1st Singapore Open

Due to its classified nature in content, this post has been removed by request from our team captain. For those who want a copy of the post mortem, kindly request one from the administrator.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

The Seven Year Itch

Congratulations to Derek on his seventh year wedding anniversary!

An impromptu session was arranged to satisfy the seven year itch as the gang of six headed down to Bishan park for some frisbee action. The floodlights at the field went dark by 11pm, but by then, we have already conducted the baptism of layouts. The layout drill was conducted in the same fashion of the much revered PULA, although our layups looked somewhat deliberate.

With the session ending promptly at 11pm, we headed down to the nearby coffeeshop for supper. The events of the Opens were once again laid out on the table and the verdict was; we have duly underestimated our own capabilities.

We are definitely better than we think.

Barbecue Session
Latest news on the barbecue party- it has been cancelled as some of the team members are unable to make it this Friday evening. Another date is currently being arranged.

Pickup with the Freakshow

Not too bad a turnout on Saturday as familiar faces joined the fun on the field with their frisbees. By ten in the morning, the bunch of us were already doing throws, hucking drills and games. The weather was good, the fields were pretty empty except for the presence of the Freakshow who were doing their usual practices as well. Soon enough, we were invited to join the Freakshow for a pickup.

We played well but soon realised that even when we put in our best, the Freakshow were merely at "recreational" mode. And then it dawned upon us how wide the gap was even though our players chalked on scores, good defences and powerful steals. First team to six points and the game was over.

The Freakshow were extremely hospitable and friendly though some of the players cheekily grumbled about how we cheered for PULA at the finals at the Singapore Opens 06. Most of them were shocked that we under performed during the Opens despite the high ratings for our team and agreed that we have more to offer. Smiles and handshakes all round, and the day ends with a good bout of food and drinks.

DId I mention that the Freakshow said that our jerseys and the logo kick ass?

Barbecue, anyone?
Anyone keen for a barbecue party coming Friday, 22nd September? I am willing to host the party at my place and Weihao has gladly offered to run a session on Chinese Tea Appreciation. Do let your feedback be known through the comment box! Thanks!

Saturday game anyone?

It is already the fifth day of the week and the thought of not being able to touch the disc is killing me.

I am organising a Saturday session just to kill the itch. The session will start at 9am at the usual spot. For those who can turn up, please put your name down in the comment box!

Website Matters
I am currently trying to add a gallery into our site so we can all see our handsome and pretty faces online. Do look forward to a really exciting site soon.

Newly Updated
I just realised that the layout was a bit warped for the calendar! Made the fixes and now it's good!
