Everyone loves a scandal...
Renowned 'World' players caught in bed!
Hexacoto reports:
In a recent spate of events, none has come truly as close to this shocking turn of a scandal when alleged couple Kee Xuyuan and Sid, both of World(tm) renown, were caught together in a same bed. Speculations have been made by professional analysts as to whether this picture can be considered a credible source and what impact this trudge would have on the team and their games in the future.
Apparently this 'interfacing of hardware' between Kee and Sid has, instead of worsening ties and camaraderie, closened them in ways unthinkable as tactly proven in their usual duality in the recent match against the Orange team. Far from dismay, the two alleged couple has grown closer and stronger.
An inside source reveals, "I've always thought there to be something... illicit about them. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it to be actually true," quips a fan of The World(tm) team, apparently delighted at this hot, juicy piece of information. "Oh..does this mean Kee is taken?" spouts a dejected-looking female. "Secretly, I've always had the hots for Kee, eventhough he's eager to prove himself a groupie to some other team."
Caught, although not in the act, in a bed in Desaru and blasphemously, in the presence of the other couple, Rémi and Huifang as well as sporadic individual Alex, it was supposedly reported that Kee upon sighting Sid alone in bed, jumped at the chance and jumped into bed with him, eventhough it was a single bed.
"I suppose they like it cosy," remarks an eyewitness.
However, upon the sighting of reporters, Kee's hockey-honed vigilance sprang into action fast enough for him to pose (see picture) defiantly for the photographer.
Both accused are unavailable for comment at the moment.
P.S: This is all humor ok? Don't sue.

A New Drama Series...
This is on Wednesday 14's session. I've decided to spruce it up a little and hence I present to you...
Before we begin, let us introduce the main cast, although everyone was a main factor in the game, but let's just accomodate to me a while, shall we?
Xuyuan is played by Kee,
The story begins....
Prologue
KeeXuyuan was a destitute child, abandoned by hockey teams who wouldn't acknowledge his existence. His familiar, Alice, has mysterious gone missing, an absence sorely missed by the Orange Team (the very that chucked Xuyuan out). With burning vengeance, Xuyuan looked back upon the titans of Orange and stumbled aimlessly through miasma and setbacks, finally stumbling upon a friendly hand. Half-blind (although cynics doubt that) with frustration and pent-up passion, Xuyuan saw that this friendly hand came in the form of genteel (*cough*) Sid. Halo and bright lights bedazzled Xuyuan as he took the hand of this benign angel (*cough*) and it was then on, Xuyuan has fallen into the mires of The World(tm).
Although Sid does not look it, Sid actually appears younger than what he actually is. Turns out that Xuyuan actually is the elder of them both, but to be in, Sid is imperceptibly the elder.
"Elder sounds old. Can I call you 'gu-gu'(aunt) then?"
"Whatever."
Hence the beginnings of Xuyuan's orientation began, with unrelenting pushings of The World and his gu-gu, Xuyuan's ability to control and handle the games and the ball and the stick rose beyond anyone's wildest dreams. Speed and finesse, he strove to master them both.
In this seclude bliss, Xuyuan experienced happiness he never knew possible. Being once in Orange seemed like a dream to him, and his current state of being too is like a dream, but a dream he never wishes to wake from.
Impending squall
However, one day, on a very Wednesday 14th of December 2005, just as Xuyuan was as usual honing his skills with his gu-gu, their sanctity was infringed and encroached upon. Orange came blaring up to their grove with rods ablaze, calling for a match.
Their torches lit the starlit sky furthur, bathing the serene ebony sky with twinges of red and smoke. From their safety, Xuyuan and Sid peeked out. 6 of the Orange sect has challenged The World(tm)! Not to be daunted, Xuyuan and his gu-gu strode calmly into the scene.
Eyeballing each other, The World(tm) sized up the oppenents strength, and a smirk escaped Sid. Orange made the first move! The Orange sect has sent out a mixture of Kailun, Huifang, Rémi, Theng Huat, Joseph, Shaun and surprisingly, Andrew, whom everyone thought was on the world until later. Whatever was Orange thinking? Sending a seedling into the fray? Clashes of steel, plastic and wood ensued, ensuring chaos and frenzy.
The World(tm) strangely seemed to comprise of mainly Xuyuan and Sid, with ocassional assistances and a damn-near goal from Yihao. Oh by the way The World(tm) comprised of Xuyuan, Sid (gu-gu), Kok, Jeff, Maxim, Raine and Yihao. While Sid watched from the safe throes of the rusted goalpost as he loosened reins on his Xuyuan to have him foray into the heat of it all, when it seemed inevitable Sid dashed out to secure a goal, but was to no avail 10 minutes into the game. Xuyuan, HIS Xuyuan seemed overpowered.
Seems that Sid is no longer content to sit safely in his saddle, so as to speak. Pulling into the 4th gear and more, Sid flew instantly to Xuyuan's aid. From then on, the nightmare of Orange commenceth.
Then on, Sid drew into hoo-hah pairing up with Xuyuan to perform impeccable duality that bordered on the line between magic and grace, but mostly frutrating to the Orange sect.
The harder Orange fought back, it seems the more vociferous the duo got. Slinking in between the defenses of Orange, their formidable two-pronged attacked still was halted formidably by Huifang, stalward goalkeeper of the Orange sect.
"Nothing gets by me!" declares Huifang as deftly she manipulates the ball and deflects it.
It carried on in this vein for quite some while, tiring out both an Orange sect member and the writer of this series. Then and quite suddenly, Sid (quothKeeXuyuan verbatim) went on one of his speedy dribbles down the side (once again, without his bib..) and unleashed a low shot at goal, which Huifang was unable to save. 1-0 to The World(tm).
Both sects and Xuyuan and his gu-gu exhausted, the half was over. Xuyuan and his gu-gu was seen to amble off together to furthur 'discuss tactics' and do a post mortem of the climatic face-off just now.
With unearthly tomes of unknown uncovered, Xuyuan and his gu-gu were practising illicit moves to apply later in the second half. Hints and glimpses of 'coming together to deal with Orange' and intimidating 'bi-passes' wafted through the tumult of the resting period. Both of them began to refine their techinique.
Shrouded in the darkness, away from prying eyes, and after what seemed like eternity to them, their strategy was confirmed upon. They were done.
The second half began with much gusto. There the Orange sect witnessed some of the toughest and fiercest fight yet. Speed records broken, bones and dignity broken. Broken ocassionally by the tumbling fall of Orange sect member, whose fall was broken by his wrist and knee almost broken, nothing could break the fervor that Xuyuan and his gu-gu has cooked up.
Swinging their sticks like a dervish, the duo plunged into the thick of the opponents with ridiculous ease once the initial barrier has been penetrated. Still, the first line of defence was a force to be reckoned with. Kailun has quite earned himself the nickname of being a... ah I can't translate that it's in Chinese ... and true to that name, many a times have the World's ball been snatched right under their noses, although regrettably seldom were there Orange sect members on the standby for support. Andrew, a newbling, proved himself beyond all doubt by actually blocking one of Sid's ball!!
Past the initial defense, the duo set themselves up for the devious strategy they cooked up earlier on.
Sid took the right wing with Xuyuan taking the left, keeping slightly ahead. Using himself as a diversion, the Orange thronged Sid and with a heave, passed to Xuyuan who'd try to score or return pass to his gu-gu. And BOOM! 1-0.
Bah.
So what happened later? The game resumed with a spectacular goal from the Orange sect, cutting the scoring time to within minutes of that goalkick. From afar, the ball traipsed past Kok, past Andrew, past undoubtedly Xuyuan and his gu-gu who were looking from afar deep in Orange territory and from behind the half line, the ball travelled towards World goalie Yihao who accidentally touched it and it went into the goal, becoming an own goal by Yihao.
Touché.
Spurred on by this humiliating goal, The World(tm) doubled their efforts and quite contrary to CrazyUnicyclist's commentary, the one ball by Sid was not caught unawares by such a long range shot' because then she was very occupied with Jolyon's monstrous velocipede and his crash, and not because Sid's incredibly talented at long range shots or anything =p.
2-1 it is.
Bla bla bla, yadda yadda yadda. The predictable duo did the same thing again. Sid on the right, Xuyuan left of him. Bang whoop yawn, 3-1. Try something new will ya?
Of course it is up to Orange to up the ante. While the besotted couple tried to pull of their nifty albeit boring trick, Joseph valiant knocked the ball out of their posession, leaving fans in gasp as once again they knew with Orange in posession, the andrenaline gets going. They knew that the open goal left by the World was divine intervention. They knew that Theng Huat's opportune positioning by the World's goalpost was not sheer luck or chance, but shrewd craftiness. 3-2.
Then, the game got harder as The World tightened their defenses and shrouded, multiplying their blocking of incoming Orange sect heresies while dividing Orange's unified formation, not before subtracting chances of Orange scoring but rather, adding to their own possibilities of keeping the lead. While considering the factors (time and fatigue), The World took on a 'Tian Luo Di Wang' (Heavenly Trap, Earthly net) formation, allowing no Orange infidels to slip through.
Indeed, seldom could Orange penetrate this web. However, on one rare ocassion, one did sleep through, only to be thwarted by the mass that looms forebodingly over the lone Orange, who would be attack en masse, leaving him/her dazed amongst rubble.
Indeed what happened after that, the writer does not know because he was involved in a seriously bad crash involving him and himself. You see, the writer was tripped by his own stick while driving at breakneck speeds.
The writer cannot continue this drama series anymorem, but rumor has it that the score was 4-2. Which means after the writer collapsed in a pile of bruises, The World scored another goal.
The author is in a pile, in a corner, tending his bruises.
END.

The World(tm) 5 - 2 Orange
After the humilating defeat at the hands of Orange the previous week (albiet without most of their key players), The World(tm) was smarting for revenge. Recalling players such as Sid from his holidays, as well as being boosted by the return of Kee from surgery, and the surprise reappearance of Yihao, The World was looking to take the game to Orange and beat them by a comfortable margin.
Orange however was not to be trifled with and also saw the return of long lost player Teng "I will start preparing for exams 3 months before hand" Huat. As such the teams lined up to face each other on the courts.
Some background info on the 2 teams. In the head to head record, The World(tm) has won 3 times to Orange's 1. There was only 1 draw between the meeting of these 2 sides.
The teams lined up as such.
The World(tm)
Orange
Game on.
First half saw a multitude of chance wasted by both teams and ended with 1 goal seperating the 2 teams. Sid went on one of his speedy dribbles down the side (once again, without his bib..) and unleashed a low shot at goal, which Huifang was unable to save. 1-0 to The World(tm).
The onset of the second half saw a rash of substitutions for both team which confused me enough to decide not to comment on it.
Orange hit back immediately with a long shot by Shaun which was unfortunately turned into the net by Yihao. Yihao tried to claim that Andrew was encroaching and infringing and violating his personal space, but to no avail. Score, 1-1.
The World decided that such a score was unacceptable and set out to rectify that. Another dribble down the right flank by Sid was him switch the ball to Kee on the left flank, who hit it low and hard to the bottom left hand corner of the Orange goal. Huifang was caught unawares by such a long range shot it was 2-1 to The World(tm).
A breakaway resulted in Sid racing down the right flank once again and crossing the ball to an unmarked Kee in the center. Unfortunately, the ball was hit behind him and he was only able to guide the ball towards the goal. An alert Huifang was onhand to block it but only managed to push it out for the returning Sid to smash it home. 3-1 to The World(tm).
Orange were now smarting and looking for someway back into the match and they got that from an inspirational Shaun and Teng Huat. The both of them combined well and finally managed to shoot the ball into an empty net. Why was it empty? Ask Sid.
Another melee in the center saw Kee breakaway with the ball and in a 1 on 1 situation with Huifang the keeper. He hits the ball towards the bottom corner only to see Huifang's stick come in the way. There however was enough force to see the ball loop up and with a further breath of air by the spectators, push the ball into the net. 4-2 The World(tm) and all was looking good.
The switching off of the lights bekoned the end of the match and The World was once again left to celebrate their victory.
Stay tuned next week for more nail biting action from Singapore Poly!

Alright! i've finally moved myself to do something.
hem hem. new template. new start. NOW let's hope a certain Sid doesn't delete it again. i don't know if he can. does he have administrators' access?
Anyway, i'll try and do the invites to everyone, so that anyone can post once again.
hurray to me!
erk i don't think much of this template really. hmmmm.
BUT i'll have you know i kinda like the stickmen. the full version of it involved the uniman using the stick to attack some monster, and going down steps and railings and stuff but the file size went waay too big, so i had to cut them out.
alright enough banter. NOW SOMEONE POST!
