Time to thank everyone who has been here since the beginning…you know who you are!
A stroll down memory lane: The original cast of Bantus Singapore (circa 16 Aug 2005) @ the gas station at Barker Road. The chicken pies there were very popular with us!
A big shout to our 3-year-olds: Giraia, Coruja, Lua, Tocha, Tocastor, Pouca Coisa, Indio and Sombra for their longsuffering and loyalty - for bearing with us as we moved from one location to another, and giving us a reason to keep Bantus Singapore going. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm!
With Amarela and Anu - our first expatriate students. Panda (Rod) from Down Under dropped by for a class .
Our first Bantus teenagers! We were an adult class until the dynamic duo joined us. Life has not been the same since they started training with us! We love you guys!
We want to thank Mestre Pintor for saying YES! when we asked if he would take us in and start a Bantus Singapore. We want to thank Claudinho for saying YES! to Mestre who flew him halfway around the world on a one-way ticket from Brasil to Singapore even though he could only speak two words of English! On top of that, he was given only 3 weeks’ notice! We also want to thank Rafael for saying YES! even before we asked for his help (what a guy!) as well as to Coelho and Tataruga (from Bantus KL) for their help (and emotional support!) - you guys were like our midwives(!) Most of all, we want to thank all our students for choosing to train with Bantus Singapore! Three cheers to you!
To celebrate this important day, we decided to invade Sentosa this Saturday 5th July 2008 for a Bantus anniversary picnic.
Where? Tanjong Beach (walk past KM8)
What time? Drop by anytime from 1pm onwards (til the last Bantus member leaves)
Bring your sunblock/sunglasses/mat to put the food and our barang barang/drinking water/swim gear/XTRA set of clothes coz u will get wet/food n drinks for yourself and 2 other persons/shower stuff
Plastic cutlery,plates and cups will be provided.
Dogs are welcome (as long they don’t end up eating the food!) and so are your parents/significant other.
If it pours, we shall postpone the picnic to Sunday 6th July. Same time, same place.
See you there!
