Ombak Challenge!

fuhhhhhh. power sungguh title itu, kan?

So on the 26th of March, 2011, fireBRANDS had no youth service. Instead they were busy sweating it out and stinking themselves up all the way at Balik Pulau.

Trading air-conditioning for a stuffed hall, trading carpet for mud, trading sleep for an early morning wake-up.

And it was so worth it, rightt?!

fireBRANDS took part in Captainball (both men and women), Dodgeball (women) and Floorball (men).

So where do we start?

Hmm.

Y'know what let's just go all random:D

Okay Wave Challenge is a time when a cup of Pepsi (WITH ICE) looks soooo good:

he's so handsome ain't he

especially after sweating it out. Which is why, like last year, fireBRANDS had their very own supply of Revive:D (i think it was revive lah. or some other isotonic drink. no diff la, all taste the same. haha.)

The objective of Wave Challenge is not for players to lose weight. (It's not for players to not lose weight either. Get it? Haha. Meaning to say, losing weight is not all that relevant.)

I mean if you eat all that fattened, oiled chicken after running around; well then you might end up gaining weight instead.

Sebagaimana you boleh nampak, Wave Challenge is a time when KFC's sales get jacked up and the burger aunty across the road gets lots more business.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

The point is, evangelism through sports!

Check out the camaraderie yo:

It's a day when usually-non-sporty people serlahkan their bakat in sports. Or just have fun trying.

It's when winning doesn't matter, but would be nice.

It's about having fun!

Soo, Wave Challenge. You can read last year's post if you wanna know like what happened and all, because it's basically the same each year EXCEPT:

we had dodgeball this year!

Dodgeball was fun to watch. Especially guys' dodgeball where they'd throw the basketballs with NO MERCY. It's the i-don't-care-if-this-knocks-your-head-off kinda throwing. It was ruthless because it was all guys, so Ruth couldn't join.

BUT BUT Ruth could join women's dodgeball! Well i don't think she did but fireBRANDS' team, led by Capt Sarah Wong, got silver!:D

Speaking of achievements, fireBRANDS also raked in bronze for women's captainball. Nice rightt.

So whether you were a spectator (background) or champion (his team got gold for men's floorball)..

..i hope you had fun!

Unless you were being a fun-spoiling ref. xP kidding! Referees are (part of) the reason why sports are fun, so thank you refs and secretariats for all 4 sports for a great day:)
