Holiday season is here, Christmas/ New Year/ Student vacation. blablablablabla. You probably get the whole picture and wouldn't care less for what is written. Anyway, we ,manage to do a little skating this week without being distracted by how well town a.k.a orchard road, is decorated in. The constant waves of fellow human and vehicles, drowning enlightened individuals in stink and sweats. But without all of these little details, the atmosphere of a holiday season won't exist. It will simply be, just like any other night.
We've been scouting for talents and skilled individuals around the island. Even though this is a mere blog, this will be a channel for selective individuals. Never stop figuring out ways to improve themselves, hopefully upgrade and overpopulate this country and finally region to form a skateboarding society.
Enjoy the clip. Its just a clip, don't expect too much.
Its been a while that we gave Toa Payoh a visit. There's several good skatepots scattered around this neighbourhood. The heartland skateboarders residing there should know pretty well. Hidden neatly within this peaceful estate, lies an 8 stair rail. those kinds where you often see in american skate videos. It's a one of a kind, thats for sure as rails in singapore are pretty much chest high.
So anyway, rail killers for today: Hisyam & Nazzer.
Hisyam; fs boardslide
Ajel; fs salad
Hisyam; fs lipslide
Hisyam got his ankle twisted after a few jumps. Get well soon bro.
Have you heard about it? There's gonna be a "Best Trick" competition this SATURDAY, 29/11/08, at the Somerset Skatepark. Tell everyone you know about it, boys, girls, skateboarders, sister's friends. Just BE THERE. 4p.m. and nothing later than that.
I'm not sure if there's gonna be a product toss. What do you think? This small event is sponsored by EAT Clothing.
If air could be walk on, moments made under anti gravity motion will be nothing but ordinary. We would have figured out unlimited ways to surf the wind. Grace and effort, the beauty, drain away from its high value entity. It will no longer be exclusive to the skilled and the brave. These elites will stand shoulder to shoulder with the norms as the art withers in depths of gray.
Last night we received an anonymous tip off from a local skateboarder. There will be a best trick competition sponsored by a clothing line this SATURDAY. All what is told is:
1) Location: Somerset SkatePark 2) Time: 4 pm. 3) Date: 29/11/08, Saturday 4) Obstacle of the Day: UNKOWN 5) Open to all skateboarders
Tell your skate friends about it. Tell your girl friends. Tell the idiot sitting next to you and make your way down this SATURDAY to the infamous skateboard park and enjoy as it will be one mean ass skateboarding session event that everyone would anticipate to watch .
"Remember, remember the 5th of November." Exactly what Vendetta said. Its a special day for us as these 2 douche were born this very day almost 2 decades ago. What better way then to celebrate with good food, close friends, music and a kickass camera.
We can't miss out Amir, he always have the good stuff.

Found its way to the food
Heidi and gf gave a visit.
Abang Drummer ATC, Syadie was there too.
Food Galore.
Next year. Bigger setting. Bigger Crowd. More food. Louder music. It's gonna be crazy.
Skate Wednesdays are pretty much time chasing since they are sandwiched between Tuesday and Thursday. Skating will be the last thing on our minds since we used much of our brain power and energy spent at work or in school.
Stop whining like a beyoitch on a full week PMS-ing spree. 2 hours of concrete wave and spastic star jumps is way better than none. This is what we got within that time limit.

Often I hear complaints such as; "Dude, there's no more perfect curbs anywhere!" "You can't skate shit when there's nothing around dawg!" "Soo far! Lazy aaah!" "Skatepark is infested with 'pros' "
Firstly, no one says "dawg" in a conversation if you're Singaporean. Next, quit skating if you continue complaining.
Woodlands surprisingly has too many barren multipurpose/basketball court. One question, Why so many courts? So Fad and I decided to get a used rail that we found at the side, some bricks, and our cam equipments.

Sometimes I don't know if I should say "I" or write myself in third person. Calling yourself in third is too weird.
So anyway, We decided to raise the stake a little higher. Big Black Bin.

Gloomy Thursday evening welcome us as we march our way across the border into the northern coast, Malaysia. 15 minutes Yishun bus ride, 30 minutes Woodlands Checkpoint to checkpoint and a final, 7hrs Johore KTM train ride. Reality seems to fade; lights and sounds grew quieter and much dimmer as we draw ourselves closer to our skateboarding destination, Kuala Lumpur.
Time check: 12:03am
Where the fuck is the train?
Never thought Singapore could be this pretty on a rainy day
Stares to glass filled thoughts
Now now, before we proceed to the ruin looking train station, the boys were famished. Hungry enough to turn into PMS-ing bunch of girls (don't take it to heart ladies, you know we "love" you). We Singaporeans are one lucky bunch of asses to have Malaysia as neighbouring country, one reason is that our exchange currency is almost twice to theirs. Which means twice the fun and spending power. Give power to boys like us, all hell breaks loose. Figuratively speaking of course.

All the railway stations in Malaysia, Tanjong pagar and the ones in Thailand are owned by the Malaysian Government. Bet you don't know that riight.

7 hour train ride. It's an awesome adventure even though your space is limited to a straight line with interlinked carrages. We encounter assorted people of different nationalities, races, weird anthics and jobs on different timeframe as they voluntarily share verbally pieces of their life story or moments to us. We truely enjoy their effort.

They couldn't resist us or us couldn't resist them. Who to say?
Freakish photo of the trip.
More of Aussie girls. We get to know them a little better.
