European Travels
No stories of past glory to regal on my side. Truth is, all that remains in my memory of the past decade or so was a bunch of GYs doing their best to make a fool of themselves and of everyone else... Ah... Good times...
As my body and the velvet sofa of my apartment slowly merge into one, with the sounds of desperate Newcastle fans edging their team on coming from the telly, it is perhaps time to commit the travels I have made in this faraway land on paper (or blog). Updates have been far and few, mostly due to the exasperating speed of my internet connection.
Time edges ever closer to the end of my stay here in London. Dreary and bone-chilling weather it may be, but somehow the rustic charm of this old english city has made me reluctant to bide it my adieu. There's just something about London that draws you in. Nevertheless, brothers back home rejoice and the foxy ladies beware, for April 4th marks the triumphant return of GYPoh!
Back to the topic at hand. Over the space of 2 months, the cities of Paris and Amsterdam were touched by the fire that is me. A painfully slow connection speed coupled with a tolerance rivalled only by a jihad warrior for infidels prevents me from sharing more pictures of my travels, hence make do with what I've got or take a _!_.
My best picture in Paris, taken from a window in the Lourve. The Effiel Tower during sunset. Just partially hidden by a building with the skyline of Paris' historic buildings in the background.

Amsterdam next. JT and I will swear with our lives this is the bridge where Ekin Cheng shook hands with the big bald ang moh in the movie Young and Dangerous. Right across the bridge would be the chinese restaurant where Mr Jiang was shot. I am convinced and nobody try to change my mind.
No visit to Holland would of course be completed without a visit to catch the sights of windmills. Hence after a short train journey to the outskirts of Amsterdam our "dream" was fulfilled.
Paris is truly the romance capital of the world. And of course the Louis Vuitton capital as well. Don't ask me how much I spent. Know that I am an LV whore... Amsterdam leaves you with a erm... "natural" high?
Till the 4th of April then mates!

BraN and his 11 Men
Every man needs his poisonMy brothers, I'm here with my latest offering for the blog. My days with you guys over at blk 25 were indeed filled with sessions of endless fun and GYing (and fun as a result of GYing). One of the things which I remember was our love affair with the Konami produced game, Winning 11.
This was some serious kick-ass shit. I remember we started out humbly with just a PS1 and played winning 11 either at my room or at Beng's. We even held a silly Brotherhood Winning 11 competition. I think I beat Poh by an abysmal margin (8-0 was it?), but didnt go on to win the competition. Think Meng or Vin won it. But whatever, all in the name of fun yar?
Time passed but our addiction for the game never quite died down. Jiate upped the tempo when he generously donated his PS2 for the cause. There was no turning back from that point.
EVERYONE WAS HOOKED.
Every afternoon, when I came back from lessons, I would see 2 random GYs seated on the floor of my room, eyes glued to the TV, fingers jamming rapidly on the keypads. Things eventually progressed to the stage where people started having funny theories like Vin's "Australia is the best team lor!!" or Poh's "All blacks can run. Period." From time to time, Jiate and Gord would make a mad dash into my room just for a quick fix of the game. This almost always left me in fits.
The routine for a typical GY-turned-Winning-11-Junkie is as follows:
Morning: Asleep. Come on guys, let's face it. Who the hell wakes up for morning lessons?
Mid-day: Awake. Wash up. Have the 1st winning 11 game to kick start the day. Must win, since the game more or less sets the mood for the day. So in worst case scenarios, play against the computer. 1 star difficulty.
After Lunch: There's no way anyone can start work w/o a game of winning 11 before that. Same rules apply, play till victory is achieved.
Before Dinner: Another game winning 11. The reason being: Still need to wait for the rest to get ready what, so just play 1st.
After Dinner: A game before the prime time show on ch8 comes on. Another game after the show ends. No compromise.
Pre-supper: Slot in a game where possible.
Post supper: There's no way anyone can sleep before a game. Of cos, play till win!! .
A game with Jiate usually ends up like this
Winning 11 sessions are a rarity these days, but the memories remain. I'm never too old for another game. Who's up for it?

D-Days along the -(2-5) Corridors
Memories of the Brotherhood Blk 25 days were flooded with what else but D-Day Judgement. A game of D-Day was always needed to kickstart the night. We never looked back ever since the day this new map was downloaded. I miss those days.....
Orb of Lightning : 2500
Ankh : 500
Joy of Killing other Heroes : Priceless
In the world of D-Day we had so much fun
Away from enemy Heroes we would run
Always trying hard not to get "stun"
And of cuz staying out of the firing line of Jim Raynor's Gun
There was this short slow hero who is King of the Mountain
We did had our very own who could only guard the Fountain
There was one thing we all were certain
The Judge is definitely omnipotent
10 Heroes, 3 Corridors, 1 Fight
Get near the Paladin cos he got Holy Light
Captain America has nothing but might
Admiral Proudmoore the swordmaster is damn alright
It will always be remembered in our life
The days we spent at twenty five
Keep the spirit of Brotherhood alive
As we all continue to strive
in life

Night of a Thousand King Horses II
Would like to thank JT on behalf on everyone for coming up with this idea to rebuild our blog. It's not hard to see why he's usually the leader of the pack and alw@ys full of brilliant ideas.
The story continues......
Date: 12th Sep 2003
Time: Approx 2.30am
Venue: NTU President's Lodge
Event: Night of 1000 King Horse II
Also known as: MAF 2003
Cast: Macca, Beng, Kok, Joaquin, Nigga, GorY, Raj, G@y, Xili, Meng, XY
Stars: King Cats (lesser known cousins of King Horses) , Candles, $1000+ camera & 11 hot- blooded scantily-clad teens all ready to do some saucy pictures & home-videos (We bettered NYP Tammy)
Gist: 11 of us sneaking (or maybe not) our way to the President's Lodge to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. Some of you may not know but it was also the 2year anniversary celebration of Zhijian & Huiling. (who din manage to make it). All of us had alot of fun (I know I did) playing with the sparklers. We took many fantastic pictures and also nearly burnt down the big tree at the summit.
N.B.: I know JT would have posted pictures in his post too if he had them with him in London. I shall have the honour to be the 1st then.
Pic evidences:
Best Actor: Beng. His movements were timed to perfection and the uppercut was exquisite.
Best Supporting Actor: Kok. The right hook was forceful and the navy blue shirt was simply classy.
Best Actress: Xili. Marvel at her almost flawless strokes of the 'E'. It's not hard to see the painstaking efforts she has taken to prefect her role.
Best Supporting Actress: Simply for being the only other female in the cast.
Best Director: Who else but Macca? Need I say more?
Best cameraman: Also see Best director
Best special effects: The $1000+ camera, together with the King Cats
Best Smile: Meng
Most gay: G@y
Most Korean-looking: GorY
Best pose: JT. For keeping his back so straight even while squatting.
Best Lover: Nigga for Gladys
Best cheerleader: Raj. Everyone saw his outstanding performance during the competition.
No of Hall King: 1
No of gays: 1
No of GEP students: 2
No of korean-looking non-koreans: 1
No of brothers: 2 or 9.
No of Chinese: 10
No of Malays: 1
No of left-footers: 2
No of no-footers: 2
No of couples: 3 pairs
I would have to say pictures 2 & 3 were brillantly taken. Many thanks to our profesional camera-man Macca and his $1000+ camera. I have to say it is a night I will never forget.
A thought just struck me '邻鸡一动' - I somehow seem to very very vaguely remember a story about 'sneaking' , 'President's Lodge' , 'Middle of the night' etc etc. Anyone care to refresh my memory?
The story continues......
GYKok
Rejuvenation
I can see that Kok is exasperated. Let's start a campaign here to rejuvenate the blog. Why don't each of us think of an incident that he remembers, blog it and others can leave messages on whether they remember it.
Naturally, I start the ball rolling.
I remember Steamboat 2004. Around Chinese New Year time and Brandon was the overall in charge. It was a big success. We had yu sheng, took lotsa pictures and tried to play hunter after eating.
On the same note I remember another. On a different occasion, Vincent exchanged slippers with Bran and took them to Glady's room. We took a video and Glady walked up the stairs, causing panic and all of us to run away.

Kok wishes poethood a Happy 1st Birthday
But I guess it isn't a very happy one after all. Well.... No one seems to remember you anymore.
Can't put the blame on anyone, the hype is gone and contributors are few and far between. This makes me think: Who can really call themselves brothers of this circle? Many have come and gone but the core remains. Many have come and claimed that they are brothers but have done nothing to suggest likewise. I would only call them brothers in name. Perhaps I'm also guilty of procrastination from time to time. Perhaps it's time to do something about it. Perhaps it's time to move on. Perhaps...... perhaps...... perhaps......
Something interesting to share with my brothers.

NYP Tammy Scandal, Sillypore & lots more
Ok I have to confess, I do not really have much to say about Sillypore but I'm really amazed someone can come up with such a term. Believe it or not, do a google on Sillypore and you will find alot of interesting stuff.
I'm not sure if I'm embarassing myself here as I might be the last one of earth who has heard about it but my guess is, many of you dun noe heck about Sillypore, Sinkapore, Sunkapore or Sillyporean. Perhaps it's time for us to acknowledge the new era of fuglies/SPGs/fanglings and see the world (or maybe just our country and ourselves) in a whole new light. Or maybe i'm just exaggerating, we just need to find some fun and keep ourselves happy.
Well, here comes the main topic of the day. Yes, the NYP scandal, the hot hOT HOT story that has rock the whole of this small island. This is to the benefit of our brothers in faraway Shanghai, Canada, London and err.... London also. I'm ashamed to say that I only heard about this yesterday and surprisingly, it was from my mum. I sat down on the couch and went about my daily routine of trying to fuse my butt to it when my mum threw 2 pieces of newspaper in my face - one for wednesday and one for thursday. On the covers were the stories of rhomping students filming their own sexcapades making a name for themselves aka doing a Paris Hilton.
It's hard to imagine this happening in Singapore and I believe like myself, many people can't believe it too. Well... This is also why it's such a big story. Oh come on, our government is always encouraging us to keep up our competitiveness and we have now finally caught up to the west. We have always been criticized as boring, dull and unimaginative Sillyporeans. Well.... there are people out there like Annabel Chong, Susan Chua & Tammy who would go out of their way and more to prove our critics wrong. Ok, perhaps I should not mention Tammy and bring her under fire once again. To be honest, she did not purposefully distribute the video. Nevertheless, she is the STAR of the show and should be credited for her outstanding and painstaking performace. An oscar perhaps?
Kudos to them for doing us proud? I would love to say that but i won't. I still love my bed and my bedroom and my couch which I've been trying to fuse with, so I shall not pass such remarks lest my mum hears about it and decides that my tenancy in #02-03 is up.
The key object in question? The video of course. Who wouldn't be interested? Everybody loves a nice home video, esp when it was not meant to be distributed. Man just loves to do things they ain supposed to do. The video was on youtube but was taken down in just a few hours. (Now we really know the efficiency of the authorities) It's almost impossible to find it now on any websites, perhaps you will have better luck asking around from people with the nick of Neo or Trinity. Rogues and Rebels who likes to live lives on the edge should still be circulating it around. I even heard that people have started making their own videos and circulating them as the 'cheong' version. But don't expect too much from the video, the leads clearly do not have the skills (videography lah, what were you thinking) of other well-known artistes like Paris Hilton or Pamala Anderson so you better pack some popcorn during the 10min video.
I do have alot more to say about this whole saga but I shall leave the boring news and personal comments to another day. I'm physically and mentally too tired to carry on writing so shall continue some other time. I don't expect this to come to an end too soon anyway. Some of you might think I'm unfeeling towards the victim Tammy. Many would even blast me for saying all this. But is Tammy really being victimised here? In some ways yes but in many other ways it's a definitely NO for me. One last thing, a quote from bexafraid, that will hopefully keep me away from the Gestapo.
Thanks to ST I am packing up and getting out of this country! For your information, I have just smashed my computer, melted it and poured the residue into the deep blue sea. Therefore, I have the clip no more.I will love to send the clip to everyone but our god father (Uncle Lee) says distributing porn is a crime. Sorry, I have to disappoint. I also do not want to join the male lead in the same cell, in case I lose my virginity (which I plan to keep till I die) to him after bending over to pick up soap.Updated again: According to ST, “…. but bloggers noted on their sites that they DID WANT to be seen as distributing porn by posting the video…” Please email maria at mariaa[at}sph.com.sg and asked her to provide you with the list of bloggers who want to be the heroes. I am not a hero cos heroes die young.
