Panasonic wanted our capoeiristas leaping out of their makeshift TV screen for their 3D TV roadshow at VivioCity Atrium on Saturday 1 May 2010. Here’s proof of it. If you missed the live action, you can watch our youtube vid under performance booking in this blog or at the singbantus channel on youtube.
No training from Good Friday 2 April 2010 til Monday 5 April 2010. Training will resume on Thursday 8 April 2010.
Please direct all biz enquiries and inter-Bantus matters to singbantus@gmail.com (w.e.f 12 Jan 2010).
Internal mail regarding operational and school matters addressing our members will be emailed from a different email addy. If you have been a regular member, you’ll be receiving an email from us by the end of this week. Thanks for your patience.
Our email account singbantus@yahoo.com was hacked into this morning and someone used our email addy to send an email asking for money to our entire email listing. If you have receive this, it is NOT from us. Yahoo has locked down our account for the next 24 hours due to the security breach so we are unable to retrieve our email listing to warn everyone. If you’re a Bantus member and reading this, please spread the word.
If you’ve got any ideas to prevent future break-ins or post-op recovery, let me know. Thanks!
note: btw, the hacker will entertain your replies coz he went through our inbox and knows personal stuff about people on our email list so he is damn convincing. this is the latest feedback from a friend who called us from Germany to verify with us.
This is The Republic Cultural Centre. Here is the entrance. We’ll all meet at Studio 1 which is at ground level. There’ll be enough of us hanging around to ask for directions. So no worries!
If you’re driving, just park your car and walk around to the other side of the building. If you are taking a cab, the taxi drop-off point is just right across from TRCC.
Due to the APEC meeting at the Istana next week, Istana Park will not be accessible. We are looking at an alternative venue where it’ll be too far away for Obama or Clinton to stumble into our Batizado roda by mistake. So stay tuned, folks!
There won’t be any training on Mon 21st September as it is a public holiday. Enjoy your long weekend and see you on Thursday 24th September 09.
PARABENS to Claudinho who has just troco de corda. Not once but TWICE! Making it a double promotion! Whoa! When we asked him over the phone last Saturday, the ever modest Claudinho who sounded overwhelmed and slightly hoarse (because he had lost his voice), said it was so unexpected. But he was very happy. When we shared the news with Rafael from Bantus KL, who was in town over the same weekend, he was overjoyed for Claudinho, saying, “If anyone deserves that honor, it is Claudinho, man! That guy is a saint.”
Welcome back to Singapore, Professor Claudinho!
(keep an eye on this post ‘coz we’ll see if we can get hold of a vid and some pix of the grand event for u…)
Just some of the highlights in photos…
We had plenty of grub on the table (BIG Thank U’s to all the closet cooks!) and we were glad that everyone was hungry so that was good.
Due to a lack of electrical socket outlets, we couldn’t have a boom box playing reggae all nite. Instead, we had Mike Jackson songs courtesy of some kind soul’s MP3 player. In the meantime, while waiting for the meats to go from raw to well done, a bunch of us jumped into the pool, had too much fun on the slides at the kids’ pool and chilled out in the jacuzzi. Later, there was plenty of entertainment provided by Claudinho and his unsuspecting victims…it was our version of Saturday Night LIVE.
As usual, we left the cake design to our ever creative baker, Playmobil (a.k.a Debbie), (http://roomfordessert.com.sg) who once again amazed us with another brilliant idea.Then there were the usual speeches starting with our 4-year-oldie, Giraia (who had no problem giving impromptu speeches with his debating background) and our youngest capoeirista (future überbabe) present, Rapoxinha, got to blow out the candles after MUCH persuasion.
We had our cake and we ate with great relish, remembering that it’s been FOUR years since Claudinho hopped onto our shores and we’ve been humbled, awed and thankful to God that our boundaries have fallen on pleasant pastures.
