But can we really blame the rainclouds when we are depending on shit-water for our main water source? Yikes.

Or perhaps we should go with the flow of things, and preempt the rainwater ourselves. To brave the storm or seek shelter in your flooded homes? Singaporeans, it is time to decide.

*drum rolls*

Kiyah-Splashh is recruiting again! Come join us at Kallang Basin on 25 July and have a splashhing good time!

No flood can stop us – we’ll paddle right across it! Our dragon boat can bring you places! Bukit Timah, Joo Chiat, Tampines, Thomson Road or even if it means paddling all the way down to Orchard road! Yes Sirrreee!

So who should join us?

  1. To those who want to build their strength
  2. To those who want to stay fit and healthy
  3. To those who love the adrenaline rush of a fast pace race
  4. To those who value team work
  5. To those who want to feel good (and look good)
  6. To those who are deeply affected by the recent flash floods

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. :P

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….
