The Great Kolo Mee Challenge 2007! By: The Boss No comments

Wallaaaah! Selamat Awal Muharam to all my beloved friends and rangers out there...bet you're all busy hantu-ing at this time of the night, eh? Man...dont we just love Malaysia? The nation with the most number of public hols! Amen!!? Pity to my friend who'll be leaving to NZ soon...no more CNY hols, Thaipusam, Deepavali, Hari Raya hols, Sultan's bday...:) But hey, the good side is...you get to play with lots and lots of sheeps! Fun rite???

Anyway, here's the 2nd last post for the trip...let's try to make it a good one yea? This one's specially dedicated to my super-human friends, who put on quite a show for us back there in Sarawak...One thing's for sure...the owner of the kolo mee stall kena durian runtuh that day! Haha...a whopping 27 bowls of kolo mee sold to us in under 30 mins! Anyway, allow me to introduce to you the contestants...

On my left...weighing in at 70++ kilos ( I think), hails all the way from Horse Hill, from the royal Iban family of Kenawit...the undisputed EMO Champion of the Worlddddd....

DANIEL SELIONG!!!

You da man! With a smile like that...no battle is too hard for you, bro! Some more got supporters at the back! Steady la Shaun...always smile, cant see your eyes! (1-0...hehe)

And now, on my right...everyone's favourite life-size teddy bear, our very own Handyman, the next best thing to 7-Eleven, the IRREFUTABLE FOOD KING from Klang...Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up to our very own...Chuah Chung Jin! Hip hip Hooray!!

With a face like that, the battle is already half won! Champion laaa...

And so, both the contestants were give about 3 days to prepare and train for the big day. And just like every big match showdown, there was the usual mind games, sledging and poking jokes at each other...Daniel always looked self-assured. But little did he know that CJ's personal record is downing 20 bowls!! Man..this dude is like a food storage tong!

Daniel's pre-match training session included attempting to smoke our props for the skit...and as usual, some other joker thought it was cool too...looks like Shaun, eh? :)


While some worked hard and puffed hard, guess what the bookie's choice was busy doin...Yea man! Fast asleep like a baby...:)


And so...enough of all these pre-match stuff...let's get down to business! Its showtime!!!



Daniel trying to get some last minute inspiration from a few of his ONLY supporters...mind you, I think he had only 2 supporters, out of a total of 16 spectators: Ali and Sheila! Anyway, the deal was the loser had to pay for the winner's bowls of noodles...and not forgetting his own, of course!




Daniel doing some pre-match ritual, inspired by his manager and sponsor, Ms. Sheila Yong! I'm sorry bro...but this time, my bet is firmly on CJ to whoop you bad! Hahaha...



Both guys got off to flying starts! Here we see Daniel deep into his 4th bowl...buy this time, both of them started to experience the puking sensation...I dont blame them. But hey, I like their spirit...and admire their tummies! Digestive system working deep into overtime!

Man...watching these 2 dudes gobble down bowl after bowl of noodles can really be a sore-eye at times...thank God for the heavenly Teh Si Peng Special to keep us motivated and hyped up!

And so...once the final whistle has gone, it was time to check on the amount of bowls finished. Ladies and gentlemen, we DO have a result! It was a clean victory for the winner...no scandals, doping charges, or foul play. All was done in the right spirit of the competition. And the results are:

Daniel Seliong: 5 bowls of Kolo Mee! Well done, bro...you exceeded my expectations!

And wallah!! Still our undefeated Champion of the Land...Mr. 7-Eleven Chuah Chung Jin! Check this out ppl...7 BOWLS OF KOLO MEE! I'm telling you..the Kolo Mee lady too was going bezerk...that must have been the BEST DAY of her LIFE! Once again, a big congrats to our winner...to everyone out there, feel free to challenge our dear CJ in a food fight whenever you're in the mood for it. He'll be waiting...

And as promised, have a fun tim watching the video below. It'll take you from the beginning of the battle, right up to the end...including all pre-match analysis and post-match remarks. Fantastic stuff! I was so motivated and emotionally encouraged after this battle...today, I realized how powerful the human body can be!

Alright pals...I hope that certainly put a smile on your faces. Just thought of sharing some of the crazee stuff that happened over there while in Sarawak. When we ministered, we ministered hard...and when we play, we played equally harder! Haha...thanks guys and girls for all the good times! Truly...one of the better trips for me! Hope to have you all on-board again this year end...woo hoo! Can't wait for the next trip, man...

Ok, dont sleep too late...Remember, early to bed, early to rise, keeps a ranger strong and wise! God bless your souls...
