The end of Thursday's matches saw NUS walking away with a clear 17-7 win against SMU, with the most number of goals from Marcus Goh and Lim Diyan. YAY!!!

And if you weren't there on Thursday, you missed out on one exciting match. NTU won SIM 14-9. But both teams took turns to take the lead, with SIM leading 3-1 in the first quarter, and NTU catching up to take the lead 6-5 by the 2nd quarter.

Be there on Tuesday to watch NUS play their final match against SIM and retain the title of SUNIG champions! :D

SUNIG IZ HEREEEEE!

Tomorrow, our boys will be playing against SMU, and SIM against NTU. Will there be another ass-whooping, or will there be a tough fight till the end? Catch the excitement from 7pm to 9pm at NUS SRC!

I know this is probably overdue but...

2010-08-06T01:22:00.002+08:00

Training timings have changed, at least for the short term.

We are starting at 630pm now, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is because canoe polo has to take over the pool at 9pm, so we have to accommodate them until their competition is over sometime in late August.

After that we'll see how.

our dear waterpologan bihu has finally scored his first goal (ever). so if you see his smug and hairy face, grab him and he will grant you anything you want.

Diyan's thoughts on the team logo designs...

2010-07-11T00:52:00.005+08:00

"Logan u bi hu.. i know u had a free reign in designing this team logo, but it is supposed to be a true representation of us as a team. e design i see is but a selfish representation of urself, complete with the arching fibres of anal hair graceful in flight. e moment i set my eyes on the logo, i knew.. bi hu i read u like a book. u cant fool me. i know u guys wouldnt analyse e logo to such depth, so i had to made it known. i couldnt bear to let u all suffer as ignorant fools, for it is impossible not to notice this. if u think of the polo ball as logan's anus, surrounded by his impenetrable fortress of anal hair, n the lion head- his face complete with mane (which he shaves daily w his custom made gilette mach industrial strength to hide his true form).. we might as well call e design our team logon as it is nothing more than a modern caricature of logan drawn from bottom up, somewhat akin to e nude sketch of kate winslet in titanic.
guy i implore u.. do not vote.. do not be fooled.. do not let him depict us as a team of anal hair lovers.
logan.. i read u like a book. we have been enlightened, dont try to play punk."

This is most definitely not a popularity contest ~~although I don't mind winning~~. Anyway Matt and I were designing our new team logo. Not an EVENT logo like the NUS - GE one, but a TEAM one. Like it will end up on our team apparel and stuff in the future.

(Maximize picture to get a clear view of the colours and design. Thumbnails a bit hard to see clearly.)

So, do you prefer this (Design 1)?

Or Matt's design (Design 2) here?

Let's put this to a poll.

Attention Teletubbies gang,

2010-05-29T00:48:00.010+08:00

Hello hello, there will be no Monday training next week, 31 May. Enjoy the extended break.

In addition, the location for subsequent 1, 3, 5 trainings will be changed. Location not confirmed yet, but it is possibly Saint Andrews or NUS Pool (worse case scenario). Tuesday and Thursday trainings same place same time.

*Trainings tentatively 6pm at NUS Pool on 1, 3, 5 (Updated Saturday 12th June)

Anyway, to kick start the holidays, here's something fun! I'll be giving out a special naughty prize to one of the first ten people who correctly identifies the chap in the photo below. The conditions:

1) Place your answer on the tagboard (kaobei box),
2) You must be identifiable,
3) You must state his proper name (Surname + Given Name),
4) Describe him concisely within 5 words.

Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event

2010-01-11T02:48:00.031+08:00

What is the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event?

The Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event is a one-day stand alone tournament targeted at young, active adults without any prior experience at Water Polo. It seeks to expose the sport of Flippa Ball™ and in turn, Water Polo to a wider audience within Singapore.

Why the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event?

Water Polo is one of Singapore's most established sports, judging by the 23 consecutive Gold Medals won at the SEA Games. Despite that, there is little public interest in the sport; people are just more inclined towards other seemingly more glamorous sports dominated by foreign-born talents. However, things seem to be taken a slight turn, with the recent exploits of the National Water Polo team at the Laos SEA Games and 'Polo Boys' finally garnering some nationwide attention.

Flippa Ball™ is a sport taking off in various parts of the world, aimed at introducing the sport of Water Polo to beginners. We at teamNUS Water Polo see this as a valuable opportunity not only to promote our sport, but also to campaign for the development of local talents and revitalize the sporting scene within Singapore.

When and Where will the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event be held, and what can participants expect?

It will be held on the 16th of January, Saturday, from 12 -4 pm* at the NUS SRC Pool.
* Safety briefing at 11am.

It will be a day of endless fun! All participants will receive an entry package consisting of a shirt, towel and other apparels, not to mention a very attractive goodie bag courtesy of our sponsors. There will be $1000 worth of cash vouchers and other prizes up for grabs. And most importantly, it is FREE to sign up.

How to Sign up for the Flippa Ball™ Novelty Event?

Sign up HERE!**

Form teams of 6-8 with your friends and get ready for a splash! Both guys and girls are welcome! Alternatively, if you are unable to hit 6 members, just sign up and we'll help to match you with others without a complete team.

**Participants should be comfortable in the water. Basic Swimming ability is recommended, though the pool will be shallow.

SUNIG Team list

2009-09-20T23:20:00.001+08:00

Hello everybody,

Hope everybody's fine with school work and training!
After much consideration and discussion within the EXCO, the following are the players who will be playing for SUNIG:

1. Ken
2. Kenneth
3. Bi Wei
4. Bryon
5. Andre
6. Matthew
7. Mark Zhang
8. Jiale
9. Joel
10. Pinkie
11. Marcus Goh
12. Marcus Tan
13. Wei Nian
14. Ben Cai
15. Kenneth Foo
16. Bing Ren

The selection for SUNIG, as mentioned many times previously, is based on both merit and attendance. Additionally, we have decided to field a younger team this time round to allow the younger players to gain experience playing with the seniors and also in preparation for IRAUQ's team selection. This will allow us to have a fairer evaluation when the time comes.

For the rest, come down for training regularly! There's still IRAUQ and NUS Open to look forward to.

Regards,
Bryon

Be a Man!

2009-09-19T14:42:00.000+08:00

This is your vice-captain Logan in the day.
Damn man. turn pple, steal balls and does sai kang.

BUT....

Here's the same above-mentioned Logan at night

Now that's what we call a real ladies' man!

Singapore UNIversity Games (SUNIG)

2009-09-18T10:20:00.007+08:00

Gentlemen. Some of you guys are asking about SUNIG and in case you miss the emails that we have circulated, the fixtures of SUNIG are as follows:

27/09/2009 (Sun) 1100hrs NUS vs SMU
03/10/2009 (Sat) 1200hrs NUS vs NTU
04/10/2009 (Sun) 1100hrs NUS vs SIM

SUNIG will be held at Toa Payoh Pool. Be at the pool 45 minutes before the start of each game.

Bryon will release the details of the team playing soon. And for those not in the team, be it Year 1s or Year 2s, we recommend that you come down for a game or 2. This is so that you can see for yourselves the standards of the other universities and have a proper idea of what to expect when we play them again in the NUS Open come January. Also, watching the games can also give you guys a better idea of the game with respect to how it is played competitively and the tactics employed.

Matthew.

2009-09-03T00:04:00.002+08:00

Just felt like writing something on this board haha.

Our new coach, Mr Yu Lei, will be coming down for his first training session with us, teamNUS, tomorrow at 1930hrs. Gentlemen, please all do turn up on time, and turn up full strength. Also, with respect to the freshies, I think from now on, stay on after your training sessions and join us for some kick-ass action. I promise it will be all fun.

Matthew.

From China, With Love

2009-08-29T22:24:00.000+08:00

The Guangxi Women's Waterpolo team will be coming down to NUS for a friendly game on Friday, the 4th of September.

They will be playing a combined uni/poly team, but it will probably be dominated by our players, as after all, we are the reigning IVP champions.

Please be down at the pool by 430pm. There will be dinner provided after the game.

Those who are available from 3pm onwards, we will need your help in the setting up of the pool. Please volunteer your services.

Houston, We have an Appointment!

2009-08-27T02:36:00.005+08:00

We’ll be having a team dinner at Chuan’s place on Friday the 28th of August, 7pm till late.

For those guys who don’t remember Chuan, he’s the Great Eastern guy who helped us get the sponsorship last year. We have been invited down to his place for dinner as part of our close working relationship with them.

Hey oh, listen what i say oh...

Chuan’s address is at 6, Jalan Tekad, S678461.

Attire is the Event T-shirt for the NUS-GE tournament. If you don’t have the shirt (or can’t fit into yours), just wear casual.

If for whatever reason you cannot make it, please let me know.

wolverine's choice.

2009-08-21T01:57:00.011+08:00

Fresh Meat

2009-08-14T01:56:00.007+08:00

**Latest Update! Sessions for freshies/new players will be held every Tuesday and Thursday, 630pm - 8pm at the pool.**

Okay guys, we'll be having a session for freshies on Tuesday, 18th August, at 6pm. Those who have no lessons at that time, please make yourselves available and come down to help out.

And don't you think our new website banner looks fantastic?

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Matthew Chew (1)

2009-08-08T00:00:00.008+08:00

What more can be said of him that hasn't already been said yet? Seriously, did anyone doubt for a moment that it could be somebody else? Cleo Top 40. Stallion. Captain Fantastic. The list of superlatives goes on and on. He was even featured on a gay website. And who could forget his giant poster that was hung on the SRC wall facing the carpark?

The ultimate-NUS-Waterpolo-Posterboy!

The cocoa-hued hunk with the Angelina Jolie like lips has been the posterboy of the NUS Water Polo team over the past year or so, and there ain't no reason why he still shouldn't be. Heck, even girls from god-knows-where have "heard that the NUS Water Polo captain is quite a hunk." He is like a (wet) dream-come-true for girls, especially those with a weakness for waterpolo players or the "Sunshine Boys" type.

His sculpture of a body aside, Matthew is also quite a personality within the team. Spewing out jokes that threaten to turn the pool water into ice, Matthew is a welcomed presence amongst his teammates who have endured long days under the sweltering Singapore sun.

So as we approach the new academic year, we can feel comforted, safe in the knowledge that as long as Matthew is around, the glamour and sexiness of the team is in safe hands.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot now puts to a close what has been a very meaningful and rewarding week. We would like to wish everyone here a very happy National Day and start of the school term.

Study hard, train hard, play hard (And don't forget to congratulate Matthew when you see him).

We'll see you next time.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Marcus Tan (2)

2009-08-07T00:20:00.001+08:00

If Marcus Tan has a superhero alter-ego, I bet my life it would be the invisible man. This chap has an uncanny ability of slipping under the radar and disappearing from the public eye (especially when training is concerned). So how the #@$% did he end up being number 2 on the nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10? Simple. When you're as awesome as Marcus Tan, you can get away with anything. Well, almost anything.

They look so happy together...

Marcus Tan's claim to fame is his facebook fan club. Anyone can train up to be a good sportsman and mug your ass off to top your class, but certainly, not everyone is born to have facebook fan clubs. It takes that little spark, that special something within only certain individuals, to be considered a member of that elite group which comprises dignitaries such as Brad Pitt and Kermit the Frog.

Apart from being the sexiest guy in Zouk, Marcus Tan also bears the distinction of having topped his class in Law School, finding the challenge too easy for his liking and jumping over to Medicine to find some new egos to beat down.

Somebody save them.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Goh Jiale (3)

2009-08-06T01:05:00.002+08:00

Pipping the little upstart Prawn King to the number 3 spot on the nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10 is the beer-guzzling hunk who drives around in his cool pimpvan.

Real man drinks one. He drinks two.

Jiale has been one of the lynchpins of the NUS Water Polo team over the past few years. In his capacity as team captain a couple of years ago, Jiale went about the thankless task of uniting a team comprising individuals from differing backgrounds and schools. Part of his legacy includes the appointment of a certain Cleo model as his successor.

Much time has passed since Jiale handed over the leadership mantle to the younger generation, yet he is still a regular at trainings and has many a word of advice to those willing to lend a ear.

And the sofa at the back of his van is really comfy.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Kenneth Teo (4)

2009-08-05T00:50:00.006+08:00

The race is beginning to heat up as we begin our final burst towards the finish line. Number 4 on our countdown has a "Victoria Secrets bod" (quoted from Gareth), is relatively good looking and likes to surf prawn. We are, of course, talking about Kenneth Teo.

Only Kenneth can wear trunks at the beach and not look like an idiot.

Kenneth is the ultimate prawn king. Steamed prawn, butter prawn, 2 female prawns 1 male prawns, male prawn deshelling female prawn and eating her, no matter how you like your prawns cooked, Kenneth will have the right one for you.

Apart from being a food (sort of) connoisseur, Kenneth is a nice guy to have around lah. He has a lot of insights to share, likes to tell police and thief stories, takes training seriously, blah blah. I could go on forever.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Lin Diyang (5)

2009-08-04T01:00:00.003+08:00

As we cross the halfway mark of our countdown to the ultimate-NUS-Water-Polo-posterboy, who should fall next into our list but Lin Diyang, the Cristiano Ronaldo of the NUS Water Polo team.

I use Colgate.

Always opting for the flamboyant instead of the simple, Diyang is the undoubted superstar (both in skills and personality) of the NUS Water Polo team. Boasting a full arsenal of turns, backshots and other tricksy skills, he will be flying our national colours during the upcoming SEA Games at Laos. A pity it clashes with our team's showing at the Indian-Rim Asian University Games in december, as Diyang will not be there to set Perth alight with his repertoire of audacious ball-skills.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Bryon Teo (6)

2009-08-03T00:16:00.007+08:00

The less glamourous and not-so-oft-injured half of the Brothers of Destruction, Bryon has stood in the shadow of Andre for far too long. Now, the dam has burst and it is finally time for him to step up to the forefront and hold his own amongst giants.

I'd never look at a trip to the doctor's in the same light ever again.

As the successor to the team captaincy, Bryon has considerably big shoes to fill. Apart from having to feed and pacify a bunch of guys who constantly eat a lot, unashamedly demand free trunks/shirts/etc. and generally kaobei a lot (mostly for fun), now as the new figurehead of NUS Water Polo, he has to up his game a notch.

And is it just me, or is Bryon looking more and more like Andre?

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Teh Chong Nyen (7)

2009-08-02T10:31:00.004+08:00

nuswaterpolo.blogspot has managed to squeeze Chong Nyen into this list just before he leaves us for the U S and A. We wish him a safe journey and hope to see him back with us ASAP. His presence will be sorely missed.

Stop staring at the girl lah.

Over the years, Chong Nyen has gone about setting the benchmark for what it takes to be an outstanding sportsman. An ever-present in the NUS Water Polo and Aquathalon teams, he has maintained the delicate balance between sports, schoolwork and the late-night eating/drinking sessions along Thomson Road.

And who could forget his posters that were being plastered all over school?

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Low Xi Zhen (8)

2009-08-01T02:18:00.005+08:00

With a name like SeXiZhen, if you don't deserve to be on this list, no one does.

Frank Xinatra.

Nothing much is known about SeXiZhen except he doesn't often come for polo trainings, and that he is a busy med student.

But really, what a name.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Andre Teo (9)

2009-07-31T02:00:00.003+08:00

What more can you ask for than having both brawns and brains? And that is how Andre Teo crashes into the nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10, his quick wit and sharp tongue impressing our judges sufficiently to bestow upon him a place in our list.

S for Sexy. Andre is gonna save you.

The lawyer-to-be cum Sexyman is well-known both for his outgoing personality as well as his astounding number of female friends (some not really friends, but hot hot hot nontheless), of whom pictures he might share with you if he is in the mood. We are really hoping that after reading this post, Andre will be impressed by all our praises and introduce some pretty girls to the lonely contributors behind nuswaterpolo.blogspot.

We wish Andre all the best, and pray earnestly that he will not injure his finger anytime soon. Or poke his eye. Or get punched. Oh well.

nuswaterpolo.blogspot 10: Lin Diyan (10)

2009-07-30T17:24:00.003+08:00

After a stellar performance in the AY08/09, Lin Diyan's gaze is now set on to become the region's top player at the upcoming SEA Games. Together with his brother Diyang, they both are poised to take on the world.

Tommy: Where's Pam?

At this year's NUS - Great Eastern WaterPolo Challenge 2009, Diyan was a mainstay throughout the tournament and put in a series of match-winning performances, culminating in him bagging the Most Valuable Player award.

His humble demeanor and jolly personality has endeared himself to his peers, which just allowed him to squeeze into the top 10 sexiest player list. Yes, he might not be the connoisseur's choice (that would be marcus tan or something), but it's hard to deny such a nice person a shot at the limelight (and also because andre die die wanted him, hehe).

And so, we have started the ball rolling. Watch out this space over the next 9 days for more sexy people.

Counting down...

2009-07-29T17:26:00.003+08:00

The Sexiest Water Polo Players of AY08/09.

As we approach another new school year, nuswaterpolo.blogspot is looking back on 12 months of fabulous water polo by selecting the sexiest players of the last 2 semesters.

Our contributors have come together to choose the best bods and personalities from within the team.

Will Diyan and Matthew be leading the charge?

The series kicks off on Thursday, 30th July, and will reveal a new player each day, until the ultimate-NUS-Water-Polo-posterboy is revealed on Friday, 8th July.

As the countdown continues, we also want to know what you, the readers, think of each player. Did Matthew Chew deserve to make Cleo Top 40? Are the raving fan-club comments on Marcus Tan deserved? Were Andre and Bryon really deserved of their moniker of the Brothers of Destruction? Leave a comment below each article and tell nuswaterpolo.blogspot what YOU think, and who your favourite Sexiest Water Polo Player would be…

Fair and Square

2009-07-26T21:20:00.000+08:00

3 more days till the end of Matric Fair. I do urge all of you who can make it to help out at our booth. We are still a little short of manpower for tuesday and wednesday.

On another note, there will be training on tuesday and thursday evening. Please come on time, at 1930.

SUNIG is coming up real soon. Don't take it for granted we will breeze through the tournament. Once again, I have to stress the importance of thursday trainings. And IRAUG isn't that far off either.

14th July TRAINING TODAY!!

2009-07-14T14:19:00.000+08:00

Hey guys sorry for the late notice. There will be training today at 7.30 pm as usual. Bryon, Bi Wei and myself will not be there to take charge of the team. Darren, Kennth and Melvin please make sure training runs smoothly. Many thanks, have fun.

cheers ken

I'll be BACK!

2009-07-13T00:15:00.001+08:00

Not quite Arnold.

Gareth Gu has sprained his back (he just got out of A & E) and will be MIA for a while. Before you evil guys start snickering at his hapless plight, let's all put our hearts together and wish him a speedy recovery. So

Get Well Soon, Gareth! We'll Miss You!

Listen to Benji, you Jabronis!

2009-07-06T20:25:00.000+08:00

Training on Tuesday and Thursday. I hope to see everyone down at the pool BY 730pm. Please make an effort to attend Thursday trainings. It is for your own good.

If you can't make it down for any reason whatsoever, do let us know.

Game at SA on Saturday, 1030am

2009-07-03T02:02:00.000+08:00

We have been cordially invited to a friendly match against the SAJC team on Saturday. It will be a good opportunity for everyone to chalk up some playing time, especially those who didn't turn up for training on Thursday (= a lot of people).

NYP and a few SA old boys (e.g. the SMU Captain) will also be going down, so if you want a piece of the action, please feel free to join in the fun.

Dear All,

2009-06-30T00:11:00.000+08:00

A big thank you to all the people who came down to help out during the Sports Camp. I know some of you may have been sorely disappointed with the lack of playing time, and thus I offer you my deepest sympathy and sincerest apologies.

To make up for today's afternoon, I am going to reveal 2 shocking revelations:

1. Bryon's nickname in med school is "Little Peanut".
2. There will be training tomorrow and on thursday at 1930. SRC pool.

Furthermore, Bryon and Matthew got gang-raped by a Ku Klux Klan wannabe mob at the poolside. If you guys had seen it, you would have felt that the day was indeed well spent!

Sports camp on Monday, 29th June

2009-06-27T01:57:00.000+08:00

Be there at the pool at 1315. We need to mend the nets, set up goalposts, etc. before the thing actually starts.

We still need to stump up our numbers. If you happen to be free on monday afternoon, don't think twice, just come down. If you die die need to leave early, we can work something out, but the crucial period is from 1345 to 1430, in which we need as many people as possible.

Those who indicated that they would be turning up are: Bingren, Mark, Bai, Joel, Stamford, Matthew, Bryon, Ken, Melvin, Kok Yong, Myself, Cherkun and Roy.

If you haven't indicated your attendance, but can make it on that day, post on the tagboard so we know.

Tuesday Training

2009-06-23T11:58:00.000+08:00

hey guys there will be training today 7.30pm - 9.45pm, sorry for the late post. Do come down for training, so we will have sufficient players to play game =). As for the sports camp, it's from 2pm-5.30pm, any willing participant pls inform and update bryon, matt, andrea, biwei or me.

2009-05-09T20:30:00.000+08:00

i would like to thank all you guys for the support that you guys have shown me as captain of NUS Waterpolo. the year i had in leading the team was a terrific experience.

for the guys that missed the meeting today.
the team will be led by a new office.

Captain: Bryon
Vice-Captain I: Ken
Vice-Captain II: BiWei
Team Secretary (Designate I): Kenneth
Team Secretary (Designate II): Daren

Team Manager: Matthew
Team Technical Advisor: Andre

the 2 of us, andre and i, will be slowly fading into the shadows as we hand over the responsibilities and guidance to the new office bearers.

i will come up with a constitution-like document that will reflect the roles and responsibilities of the new office. as soon as i do, i will drop everyone a copy.

once again, thank you gentlemen for all the support that andre and i have received.

thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve and to lead a team of champions.

end of school. end of examinations.

2009-04-17T10:22:00.000+08:00

i reckon we all have ended our official school curriculum. as we start on our study week, i just want to wish all of you guys the best for your coming papers. study hard!

and another announcement also.
i am currently looking at the 9th of may for a team meeting. i will require everyone to be present. it is on a saturday. i think most, if not all, of you guys will have ended your examinations by then. i am either looking at meeting you gentlemen in school, with a proper meeting location. OR we could all go out for a lunch (buffet, or something along the lines of large amounts of food), and of course meet over lunch. please do tell me your preferences of either choice and if so, suggestions for location. i am open to suggestions. if not, we can all go back to school after exams, WHICH is damn sian. haha.
also, the meeting will have to take place on the 9th, as on the 10th onwards, some of the guys will be going overseas for the teamNUS Summit. so i would want to catch everyone before people stream away.

do post your suggestions or replies ASAP, either through mails or of course here.
