LMP's Back...
Many Apologies for the Disappearance
Hello Dratss and Administrator, apologies for the long absence in the blog. Dun hav internet access in office and was caught up with the laziness of turning on the comp when i m home.

Not sure if everyone still reads the blog but i m 1 guilty 1. Sorry sorry... OSM, any idea if our pple r reading the blog? shd i send emails instead? Noted that training has been cancelled on saturdays due to league games on sundays. Was wondering should we train on sunday mornings then? we could still train at bishan n the league-goers can make it down to the games tog?

Preposition comes because LMP feels that
1.League game is an ECA. We shouldnt be stopping training bcos we r playing in the league rite? We r still gonna advance as a team rite?

2.Training with the team wld do good for the league-goers as well? Dun reli get to warm up for the 2pm game usually?

But as always, majority wins. Keep your opinions coming via the chatboxes k.. LMP is definately keen on throws, either Sat or Sun mornings if preposition fails. Juz let me noe n i promise to be there on time =)

Glitches Reported in Gallery
Photos load up halfway says viewer
The Administration has launched an inquiry on the reported matter after several members of the DRATSS public reported faulty uploading of the 2006 Xmas photos. The result reveal that the public is once at fault, as typical as any public inquiry always proves.

The grey boxes that appear during the viewing process is due to bad uploading by the browser, so if a user is to experience the reported phenomena, simply reload the page and wait patiently.

If it still fails, get a Macintosh.

Dim Sum at Upper Thomson
Five dollars roast pork is way too expensive
The DRATSS team headed to Nan Hua Restaurant along Upper Thomson for a dim sum lunch. The people serving us were friendly, however, when the roast pork was served, everyone stared at the plate and began questioning the cost-portion ratio.

Five dollars for such a minuscule portion was absolutely not acceptable. However, after much cajoling, the owner decided to fill the plate with more pieces of roast pork.

The DRATSS team gives Nan Hua Restaurant the follwing ratings:
Food: 7 out of 10 stars
Service: 6 out of 10 stars
Variety: 8 out of 10 stars
Total: 7 out of 10 stars

2006 Xmas Party Photos Up
Slow response time from administrator dulls senses
The photos are finally up after a long wait. Many complaints have been sent to the Chief Administrator, Orangespaceman, demanding answers for the lag in response to their complaints.

"I work too you know."exclaims the Chief Adminstrator. The other listed contributors have not had their voices heard since last year and the public is also demanding for answers on this. "I think it's best they speak for themselves." says Orangespaceman. The administration welcomes further input from the public however, it did not reveal how long it required to review these inputs.

DRATSS Celebrates Second Birthday
New comer celebrates birthday with DRATSS
DRATSS turned two years old over the weekends. It has climbed up from its days of uncertainty to emerge as a team where at least the local ultimate community has recognized its potential to cocoon to a even greater performer.

Newcomers Rachel and Raphael, 18 and 11 respectively, experienced the DRATSS signature hospitality as the celebration for the two year old team were manifested into a series of short plays and there was not one clean jersey at the end of the games.

Rachel and Raphael are siblings, and also cousins of the DRATSS founder, Howster, and of the Yeo Brothers of the infamous Hui Quan Syndicate. The R'blings amazed the DRATSS and exhibited their exceptional genes. Rachel made well timed cuts to provide support on the midfield and salvaged poor throws and converted them into showy snatches that turned tables; Raphael sneaked into the end zone and surely stamped his authority despite being little, placing three well earned points into his personal scoreboard.

Coincidentally, Rachel shares her birthday with the said team and turns 18 over the weekend.

Pre New Year's Eve Party
Party at Hui Quan's house
The pre New Year's Eve party was a success, gracing rare faces like Chen Zheng, making the evening delightful. There were abundance of food as Simin graciously prepared smacking good curry and fried bee hoon, adding to the variety of food already spread on the table.

The barbecue fires were raised at a little past six in the evening as the heavy downpour quickly receded. The food was clearly dished out and appetites only slowed around ten in the evening as everyone gathered to indulge in trash talk and wicked gossips. Simin whipped out a copy of "Zoolander" as everyone crowded around LCD screen of Quan's laptop to be entertained by the comical antics of Ben Stiller.

The night ended at two plus in the morning, ready to greet the arrival of the New year and to a very great year of Ultimate ahead!
