Orientation for the 2nd Half of Year 2010 was conducted on the 1st August at Kallang Water Sports Centre. The heavy downpours the days before granted us a bright sunny day to welcome our baby Dragons. :)

Our highly anticipated Orientation had us seeing a huge turnout that Sunday. With prior experience to rowing or not, I’m pretty sure the newbies had fun. If it isn’t so, there’s still a nice bronze tan to show off after. *Winks*

Let's get the strokes right!

A special thanks to current Kiyah-Splashhies who came down to assist in the orientation.

Don't play play with our resident Ah Lian - Ting Ting.

Oh look! What’s here?

So that’s one Kiyah-Splashhie! known. Many more Kiyah-Splashhie! ZOOM-INs to come. Check back for more!

I hope all who joined us for Orientation had fun, and hopefully decide to join the Kiyah-Splashh! family. You will take with you new friendships, a healthier and fitter body, a stronger discipline-instilled mindset and a new found love for the stinky Kallang waters.

All of these, for only a small Season Fee.

Hey, nothing is free in this world.

*WARNING!*

PAY UP OR… would you like a new coat of paint for your door? :p

Hiyah Dragon-boaters!

A recent accident in the waters of Kallang aroused a flustered boat of muscled men who were paddling themselves crazy from the Marina Barrage. Now, not even a naked Megan Fox can put out their flame.

It was a collision that happened just around the bend, somewhere a few meters after the famous Benjamin Sheares Bridge. Before we start, the usual disclaimer bearing no harm on the $177 million expressway structure. Not even a crack.

What happened next was simply us crashing head-on with a kayaker. So without us Splashhing you on the details, you would know who met with the more bitter fate- the kayaker. And his ipod.

When you plug your earphones snugly in your sockets, and turn up the volume to Lady Gaga lamenting about her Bad Romance while paddling in your cute little kayak, you might want to consider that not even 10 screaming men can save you from a collision. Not even sweet Moses, who is probably unwilling to part the Kallang Basin to save your tiny ass.

So what can we learn from this episode, my dragon boaters? Crank your steering oar, get your paddlers to jam it in hard, save the kayaker, kill his ipod.

So what happens now?

We are caught in a bad romance with a fellow kayaker.

Ra Ra uh uh uh, Rum-a Rum-ma-ma,
Ga Ga Oh La la,
Want your bad romance….

Quench our thirst, Sportade!

A BIG shoutout to Field Catering & Supplies Pte Ltd for their generous sponsorship of Sportade drinks to our dragon boat team in 27th Singapore River Regatta 2009! Thank you for your continued support in our races!

Sportade Logo on our life vests!

We love the Orange flavor!

Our men secured 2nd in the National Championship Men (Plate) Category, and the ladies wowed us with their advancement in to the semi-finals for the National Championship Women Category! Ooooo…it looks like our competitors have to belt up really tight when we return stronger than ever next year. Rumors has it that the ladies are aiming to fill a 20-men boat? Extremely exciting, Woo-sa!
