THE DAY ODDIE'S BROTHER HAS A NAME

“I will call you back in an hour okay dear?” That was what Komeng promised his missus for their daily phone chat session which ended she calling him a liar when he called her nine hours later. Komeng, Khai and his wife (Siti), were at the office where they stayed up the whole night making last minute flyers for a showcase the following morning. Siti called it quits at around two in the morning by embracing the bolster. Khai was left at Komeng's mercy in getting it done. Khai's patience was tested to the extreme while Komeng was at his eccentric best. Thank god there was no casualties (Note: Komeng was not harmed during the process, although there was a mouse cord readily available to Khai).

The Sports Education Programme (SEP) Showcase held at Nan Hua Primary School featured service providers offering their endorsed programmes for 2009. It is to facilitate the planning of sports programmes by principals and teachers for you kids. Additionally, as part of the effort to promote the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG), there was a dedicated corner reserved for sports providers offering some of the 26 sports (including BMX!) under the Games.



Loose Grooves was categorised under the Extreme/Adventure Sports. It was a slow morning which picked up pace after word got around that there was actually a company which conducts skateboarding and bmx lessons. We were met with lots of surprised faces and congratulatory handshakes in getting these two sports endorsed. Our booth generated a great buzz all the way till closing time. The highlight of the day was when a special school enquire if we can customise our courses to fit their objectives. That is surely one challenge that LG would not back out from.
