GET A FLAWLESS SUN TAN IN 3 HOURS!
Don't even have to go to the beach.
Didn't bring sunblock?
It's okay, no one else bothered to.
Caution: You may feel uncomfortably hot and sticky. Sweat may also be a side-effect, but so is losing a few pounds.

Once upon a time, it was a bright, sunny afternoon. Winnie-the-Pooh thought it good that he would pop by at his friend Piglet's..
..well wherever Pooh Bear stayed, it definitely wasn't Penang.
No one would dream of going out at 1 p.m. in the afternoon on a bright, sunny day here.
Except maybe..
...
3/10/09. Couldn't get PBSM, but no problem. Training still on!
At a basketball-turned-floorball court.
..you can see Wayne there on the phone. It was 1p.m. and no one was there yet.
Minutes later, cue the arrival of the hot biker dudes.
The training ground, with trees around.
Setting up the goalposts first...
...and put your bags, bottles, shoes at the side.
Warm-up was four half-rounds around the grassy area behind the basketball court.
Ooooh, the smell of freshly-cut grass.
Next, the basic of the basic of the basic, which is not the basic - passing.
Combined training was a boost to the players as the court wasn't overcrowded and we could train alongside everyone else in Firebrands Floorball Club - whether guy or girl, senior or junior, young or old.
Coach Jason making use of bright, orange cones to explain the next drill: the X-box.
And now we put it into action.
Later training progressed to 2-on-1s. Coach Jason taught the defenders the technical side of defending, and on keeping a cool head.
Speaking of cool, the hot, searing sun meant more fatigued players than usual, and so waterbreaks and briefings took place under our very own...
...Pokok Demokrasi!
Coach Jason with the cones again.
And getting down on his knees to push home a point. Oh and check out the ground! The pebbly path, good for walking on barefooted in the name of foot reflexology.
Let's think again now, shall we?
Next, game time!
Here's when we really get to reap the benefits of combined training =D
No keeper? No problem. Goals only counted if the ball hits either of the top corners of the net.
So, after a goalless game full of valiant efforts by the players, debriefing.
Training drew to a close with a prayer by Sarah, to the amazing God who answers our prayers and held the rain even though there were gray clouds in the sky. And it only rained at about 6-something p.m., well after our training.
...
The aftermath: James getting a few tones darker; and Joyce, Sarah and Eureka getting sunburnt.
Just a step closer to looking like bronzen Greek gods and flushing Roman goddesses.
