The Legion

Review

By: Chris Woo

Director: Scott Stewart

Writer: Peter Schink and Scott Stewart

Actors:  Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, and Kevin Durand.

The motto of the show, as it was often preached by the Archangel Michael (Bettany), was to “have faith”. After previewing the show, I have faith that this film will never reach the Oscars even if you burn every last movie yet to be released. When angels look like American Gladiators with wings, I have faith that the audience will ask themselves if they should have watched The Tooth Fairy (2010) instead. And when you have the world Apocalypse jammed in a pathetic, godforsaken town in New Mexico with only three recurring mise-en-scene – restaurant, desert and crappy-looking cars – you’ll never once question your faith in mediocre productions.

The Legion is a horror story (in every sense of the word) that dulls the senses of the audience past the first forty-minutes. The best parts of the film were found in the trailer and stayed in the trailer. In précis, The Legion tells the story of God being mightily pissed-off at his talking-monkeys because humans have lost their humanity to Gucci, oil and artificial intelligence. He sends a memo to the archangels which basically state “Exterminate the vermin”… and the baby in Charlie’s (Palicki) stomach. Now, for Apocalypse-loving aficionados, you would expect rain of fire, earthquakes, tsunamis and a touch of demons from hell eating the innocent. Instead, we got two things: a cloud of flies and angels who looked exactly like zombies. When was the last time you saw a sleep-walking angel with black-eyes and bad dental care? Look no further. You can tell your grandchildren it was in 2010.

If slothful and totally un-cool angels were not enough to make you bleed in your seat, the archangel Michael made an ecclesiastical mimicry of Jean-Claude Van Damme. Angels obviously don’t speak much nor do they need to since their six-pack does most of the chit-chatting. And even more ridiculously outfitted was Gabriel (Durand) who bulged and distended so painfully on screen, he looked like he was suffering from a full-body hernia.

While the costume design department and lead actors didn’t win any kudos from the audience, there were two memorable moments in the film worth mentioning. The first was a wrinkled and kind demeanour of an old lady who ate at Paradise Falls (the restaurant). When the angel possessed her, the audience was treated with a foul-mouthed grandma who shocked the audience with her wall-climbing dexterity and the four-letter “C” word. Then later down the scenes, an apocalypse bearing, ice-cream truck came trudging down the dusty landscapes. Again, we were treated to the intricate transformation of Mr. Cornetto as his limbs stretched and elongated into a four-legged spider man. But who am I kidding? You saw all this in the trailer already.

The cinephile will tell you that this film does not exceed any convention of the angels and demons genre, even if it did set the end of the world in the micro-cosmic dust bowl of No Man’s Land. The film is reminiscent of Gregory Widen’s The Prophesy (1995) whereby the angels were sent to Earth to kill the child that would stop a heavenly war. While The Prophesy had Christopher Walken and an amazing scriptwriter, The Legion has testosterone pumped angels who kept ruffling their feathers to amuse us.

For supernatural fans of all that is good and evil, this film is a Terminator shoot-out that has as much supernatural-ness as the Ghost Whisperer (TV series) with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead. I wouldn’t even wait for the DVD. @

Jump

Review

By: Clement Chua

Year:  2009

Director:  Stephen Fun Tak-Lun

Producer:  Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, Chui Po-Chu

Writer:   Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, Tsang Kan-Cheong, Wang Yun, Stephen Fun Tak-Lun

Cast:  Kitty Zhang Yuqi, Leon Jay Williams, Yao Wen-Xue, Yuen Cheung-Yan, Fung Min-Hun, Samuel Pang King-Chi, Daniel Wu, 6 Wing, C. Kwan

Jump is produced by Stephen Chow and directed by Stephen Fung.  It is another typical love/dance cum kung fu movie. Stephen Chow is famously known as a Hong Kong actor, comedian and recently director. He directed his first movie, King Of Comedy in the late 1990s. Stephen Chow has recently been incorporating kung fu with other elements such as football in Shaolin Soccer (2001) and now dance in Jump.

Kitty Zhang is a rising star in the movie world and lands herself a major role as lead actress. ‘Playboy’ Edison Chen, supposed male lead along-side Zhang, was scraped clean from the movie due to his infamous Sex Photo Scandal. Jump removed absolutely any trace of Chen and reshot his parts with Singaporean actor/singer Leon Jay Williams. Fortunately, Williams’ parts are the least interesting.

Phoenix (Zhang) is a village girl and was trained in the martial arts by her father, a kung fu practitioner. However, her real talent and passion lies in dancing. She grasps at the first opportunity to work in the city, Shanghai, when it presented itself. She works in a garment factory and by chance, manages to land a part-time job in a dance school opened by entrepreneur and playboy, Ron (Williams). Predictable twists and turns in the story brings Phoenix into the entourage of a dance crew that eventually makes a final dance-off with the former champions – Korea – South city crew.

I find the plot of Jump to be predictable. It is a very typical love story. Village girl goes to the city, sees a wealthy, handsome playboy, falls in love with him only to be put down by the people around her and finally discovers he is true to her. The only interesting parts of the movie that actually grasps my attention for that few minutes are the slick dance moves.

Some scenes are rather captivating though, such as opening up to folk dancing and singing. But as the story progresses and these similar scenes keep replaying itself, the film becomes repetitive and boring. It will never keep up to the pace of dance movies set by foreign/English films such as Step Up, Take The Lead, Stomp The Yard, just to name a few. Also As a comedy, this film just doesn’t cut it. There are absolutely no hilarious scenes. Some were acceptably funny except they will require a few more tickles to keep the laughter going.

All in all, this movie will make good companionship for families and young teens. The film is slight, silly and completely manufactured, and all is forgiven as a few fun moments shine through.  @

International Student Festival

Campus buzz

The International Student Festival started on 7^th December 2009 with exhibitions which showcased the cultures of each international student’s countries. These exhibitions were placed right in the middle of South Agora to attract everyone walking through the entrance of the polytechnic.  Music of different countries played loudly enough to incite curiosity RP students/facilitators to walk to South Agora.

The total number of cultural booths that were put on display for the exhibitions were 10, this included, Vietnam, India, Myanmar, Indonesia, china and Japan. Each cultural booth displayed food items and artifacts that belonged to its country. The memoir and pieces of cultural origin were used to beautify the booth. These booths which created the ambiance of the origin country aroused the nostalgic feeling for our fellow international students.

Each booth had its own specialty in attracting viewers. For example, the Malaysia booth gave free ‘teh tarik’, Myanmar booth incited curiosity with cultural instruments whilst the china booth inspired people to write their thoughts in their traditional way of calligraphy. The impressive way of recreating the memory of each country turned many RP students and facilitators heads. Most of the students who stood around to tour the individual booths were very impressed on how ISF has gone into detail in portraying each country’s uniqueness and culture.

By the end of the first day of the exhibition, the organizer commented that, “We were able to raise awareness about international student festival to one third of RP population”.

On the second day (8^th December 2009) of the exhibition, ISF had brought in Hip Hop IG to draw a huge crowd to the booths. Among this crowd was Mr Yeo Li Pheow, Principal of RP and Mr. Ganesh, Director of TRCC and other non-RP people who joined in the fun.

The performance only lured a small group of people in the beginning however as the performance started to heat up, more people who were on their way out of RP stopped to enjoy the performance with the rest of us.

Ragu, President of Hip Hop IG who was also the emcee for the performance spoke about the collaboration between ISF and Hip Hop IG and called upon the Organizer of ISF so that the audience would be able to get to know more about the purpose of this event.

The finale dance consisted of ISF models who did a catwalk dressed up in their traditional costumes and all the dancers of Hip Hop IG. The finale dance received a heartwarming applause from the many who had gathered around south agora.

There was a board put up to allow audience to write their comments about the exhibitions. Some of the testimonials that depicted the atmosphere of ISF were:

“Best Memory”

“Cool Experience”

“ISF Rocks”

“Once in a lifetime”

The final day, 10^th December 2009, of the International student festival was the cultural performance that promised to etch the presence of the international students in the minds’of the local students in RP.

The ISF concert has to be one of the larger scale event ever to be conducted In The Republic Cultural Centre (TRCC). 200 performers, consisting of international and local students gathered to give the crowd a wonderful evening filled with laughter and entertainment.

Before the start of the concert, @loud had a short interview with the Principal to find out what he thought of the ISF.

Would you encourage ISF to be an annual event?

Mr Yeo: What happened in the last 2 days and about to happen tonight happened in the interest of the ISC students. Nothing can happen without the students’ interest. If they are interested and determined enough to make it an annual event, it is possible for this to happen again.

From the overwhelming crowd that was seated in TRCC, it is feasible to say that a lot of publicity has been put into the International student Festival.

Each culture had the opportunity to portray their cultural dances on stage by the means of dancing, singing and skills. Their performances were pleasant to the ears and visually entertaining. The high point of the concert was when the performers thrilled the crowd with their proficient skills of Wushu. The audience was very supportive every time each country students came onstage to perform. The crowd undoubtedly enjoyed themselves.

The concert came to an end with a nostalgic performance by the international and local students, called “TOGETHER” which was composed by the students themselves. This final performance received a standing ovation.

@loud interviewed Nguyen Mai Huong, Organiser of ISF event to find out what she thought of the entire event.

Why did you come up with the idea to create ISF?

I came up with the idea of ISF a year ago, built it up during Chinese New Year and presented it in front of ISC committee members, advisors 7 months ago. I acknowledged that unlike NTU, NUS, or other universities, RP have not had any cultural festivals. I was inspired by that to write a proposal called “International Student Festival”. A big thanks to Tiffany and Harris, my two assistant organizers, without them, ISF would not be a success.

What kind of response has your event gotten so far? Were you able to reach the expected number of people in RP?

I would like to divide into 2 sessions for this question: Cultural Exhibition and Cultural Concert. For the cultural exhibitions, we were able to attract 2/3 of the school population. As for the Cultural Concert, we nearly had a full house; the exact number was 700 audiences. It reached our expected number. The concert has received a lot of good and excellent feedbacks from all audiences. @

Zombieland

Review
By: Fann Sim Xuan Ying

Welcome to Zombieland. For teens with a hunger for all things bloody and gory, Zombieland proved its worth with blood and gore with a tinge of zombie humour. Zombieland, the brainchild of writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, was highly anticipated by youths such as myself way before the movie was out.

The movie revolves around two men, a cowboy and a nerdy college student named after their destination-Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and Columbus (Jesse Eisenburg) as well as their survival story in a world infested with zombies. On the way to their final destination, they meet a pair of sisters (Emma Stone & Abigail Breslin) who cheats them of their truck and ammunition.

Other than the obligatory splatter scenes, there wasn’t a slightest bit of seriousness in Zombieland- it was all fun and goof with the four human survivors. I particularly loved the “32 Rules of Zombieland” that Columbus came up with to keep himself alive from the zombie infestation. Such as Rule #1 – Cardio which is self-explanatory. You have to have an excellent track record of cardio to outrun the zombicidal mania. However, some of the rules were frequently repeated throughout the movie.

Halfway through the survival flick, the movie became predictable because I was starting to figure out which ‘rules’ were being applied – such as Rule #4, the ‘Doubletap’, as Columbus said “one extra bullet to the head will prevent you from becoming a zombie happy meal.”

Overall, while not conforming to the usual standards of a zombie film, Zombieland manages to pull it off with witty one-liners and quirky characters. The pace was well thought out to poke fun at zombies and attempted to keep you glued to the screen. However, my partner did fall asleep halfway through the film. I suppose that was due to the repetition of certain scare elements. I am somebody with a low threshold for horror, but this was good for people like me, who may at times, need some gore and good humour at the same time! @

This Is It

Review
By: Shaistah Munawar & Yazier Nifail

“Discover the man you never knew.” featuring 24 of his biggest hits including his newest single, This Is It. From “Billie Jean” to “Smooth Criminal”, This Is It showcases rare backstage footages, presenting a determined and humble Michael Jackson. Premiering on the 28^th October 2009, This Is It may not be the movie event of the year material, but surely the movie event since the death of our King of Pop.

The documentary includes interviews with his dancers, musicians and including Michael’s creative partner and also the stage show director, Kenny Ortega. Expect to see snippets of Michael’s dedication to his profession, even after 10 years of retirement. Experience Michael’s passion, enthusiasm and also persistence throughout this 111-minute documentary. This Is It will highlight Michael’s ambitious side, taking the lead and then shepherd every creative detail of the concert.

As good as he sounded 10 years ago; expect to hear his mesmerizing voice in song and speech. Amazingly, they didn’t edit any of his speeches, creating a very original feel to knowing Michael Jackson. The sets changes according to the songs. But be wary of the transitioning of the videos. They are quite agitating due to the directors wanting to share excessive videos of the many different rehearsals recorded.

This Is It showcases Michael Jackson as a near perfect performer/entertainer, incomparable to any other artiste today. And indeed, you will “Discover the man you never knew”. Since This Is It is just a documentary, don’t expect the concert but rather just another dry run of an unprecedented concert-to-be. But equally worth it, especially if you never knew why Michael is at the top in the last half century. @

Classic and Modern Films

My Take

By: Clara Lim & Andre Tan

When people think of classic films, they remember Gone with the Wind, The Seven Year Itch and Grease. When they think of modern films, they think of The Matrix, Harry Potter and Fast and Furious. Granted classic and modern films have their individual charm, but they both have one thing in common, the capacity to attract the audiences of their time.

Silent Film

Moving pictures began around 1880. However, silent film had only begun to take off in the 1900s. Perhaps the most famous silent films of all time were the works of Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin’s ability to make people laugh without speaking was his gift, but nonetheless a necessity. Silent films were black and white, with orchestral music as its only sound effect and short paragraphs as well as lines to lead you along. A stark contrast from today’s modern audio technology. Nevertheless, people had to make do with the technological limitations and cinema was still popular. Silent films ended its rein by the early 1930s and transitioned to ‘talking pictures’. This subject was covered in a comical angle in ‘Singing In The Rain’.

Black and White

Another interesting transition in film was from black and white to colour. This happened around the mid-1960s. However, its quality is undoubtedly inferior to today’s modern high definition visuals. With our current ability to super-impose shots and fill the scene with vibrant colour, our technology can turn black and white films into coloured ones and improve visual appeal of older films.

Musicals

Musicals peaked in popularity in the years 1930-1950. Those of you familiar with musicals may recall fondly the talents of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland and Barbara Streisand just to name a few. Musicals demanded that its actors and actresses knew how to sing, dance and act. Although it’s popularity has significantly diminished, Bollywood films with extensive musical sequences are still very popular with its audiences.

Content

One big difference between classic and modern films are its liberty in including scenes depicting gore, violence and sex. In the past the lead male would swoop in to kiss the lead female with his face covering most of the kiss, nowadays that are many scenes depicting passionate love scenes. On the subject of gore and violence, classic films showed people falling to their deaths, cuts and being shot, along with tacky ‘bam’ ‘wham’ sound effects, very rarely giving the close up on the aftermath. In modern films hearing intense screams of pain, seeing bodies being sliced open and heads cut off with gruesome audio effects are a normal thing in Singapore’s Rated NC16.

Although extremely distasteful to most of the older generation, these are the scenes that attract the majority of youth, who are fascinated at watching torture and pain inflicted. The sounds make it even more realistic and teens flock to watch the latest horror and gore filled movies. For our love affair with the shock element cannot end as we watch hand-over-mouth, or in some cases, with a smirk on our face.

In some ways the messages in films have changed. Issues like pre-marital sex may have been depicted as shameful in the past, but in today’s context becomes a heart-felt story of a single mother. We now tackle issues of racism, abortion, homosexuality, diseases and so forth much more openly. However, there is a trade off, we have to be more politically correct to attract the masses. @

When I Grow Up…I’ll Still Love You, Mummy.

My Take

By: Clara Lim Mei Xing

There have long been discussions on the issue of abandoning parents, especially in Singapore. Many stories are shared amongst housewives; of heartless children who change the locks and leave their elderly parents homeless, or children who unwilling support their parents financially because they HAVE to. Monetary support is a law. Love and genuine care is a moral choice.

I should think that most parents would rather a caring son who provides them with basic             necessities based on a low-income instead of a splendid financial caregiver that never visits. Everyone automatically thinks that due to the parent’s love and support over numerous years, it is the child’s ultimate responsibility to give all that back and more. But why do children, despite the hard work their parents have gone through to support them, abandon parents in the end?

I believe a lot of this has to do with the lack of bonding between families. In today’s hectic, competitive work environment it is not uncommon for a child to come back to an empty home, make some noodles and sit in front of the television or computer until it’s time for the next meal.

Some children even have to take care of their own siblings and hardly ever see their parents due to late work schedules. Of course, many children recognize their parent’s hard work to provide a comfortable home and grow up to be extremely grateful. Some however, feel that money is more important to the parents than they are. Especially if their parents spend extravagantly on luxury items but rarely say two words to their kids.

I am not implying that it is the parent’s fault for their own abandonment issues, both emotional and financial. I rather think it is the society’s fault for turning everything from O level scores to monthly incomes such a fierce and merciless competition.

That is life you may say. But who made it so?

For all the money we earn, the prestigious jobs we have. Are all of us truly happy?

Is the rich working mother who buys luxury goods and sends her children to violin, ballet and tuition classes happier than the coffee shop auntie who has to work tirelessly to afford to give her son a good education? Are their children any happier? Or have they been conditioned to find happiness in different things? Again this is question of not treasuring what you have.
The rich child may be more happy at getting a day out with mummy at the zoo. The poor child may be happier to get a new computer game or toy.

Parents need to realise that the thing that matters most to a child is just being loved. Whether or not they want to break free from the rules of school of home, children still want to be able to know that they are important and valued. Many parents don’t listen to their children because they think that due to their experience, they always have to be the one teaching and imparting knowledge.

There is no way to tell parents how much space to give their children and how much bonding is needed, but it is important to know what the child thinks.

Not just about his/her preferences, but of important things like dreams and aspirations, personal goals, belief systems and attitudes towards important issues.

Unfortunately I don’t think that societal norms and constraints that make care- giving difficult will soon fade. However, I hope that parents along with parents- to- be will try to realise that when starting a family, it should not be done purely out of convention. Whatever our financial status and despite the respect that should go with being a parent, we must recognize that if we choose to start a family, it is a heavy responsibility that will not simply fade in time.

Although some of us may come from broken homes or have bad relationships with our own parents, we should try hard to break the cycle with them and most importantly with our future children. @

“The Bird Who Was Afraid of Heights”

Who’s Who
By: Sakina Khaliq

In the book “The Bird Who Was Afraid of Heights” By Farah Bagharib-Kaltz, the illustrations that you see are done by our very own facilitator in RP. Mr Soh Ee Shaun from the School of Technology for the Arts (STA). He shares with aloud how he made use of the skills he has in the best possible ways. Definitely, one of which would be imparting the designing skills and art techniques to his STA students.

What gave you the inspirations for your illustrations?
My inspiration came from old children’s books that I’m very fond of such as books by Jim flora, Dr Seuss, and Ludwig Bemelmans. I was trying to emulate the limited color palette style from early children books and the loose, whimsical cartoon style they had.

Complete the sentence, “If I could draw up a book-ful of illustrations for the students in RP, the book would be titled __________ and about _________.”
If I could draw up a book-ful of illustrations for the students in RP, the book would be titled DAZED and about children who have trouble keeping awake.

Fill in the blank, “ If I could choose who I want to do illustrations for, it would be …? Why?
If I could choose who I want to do illustrations for, it would be myself. Because there’s nothing like writing a book about yourself.

Were there any difficulties when doing the illustrations for the story?
Not really. We had a pretty good working relationship. We were both very open to changes and how we wanted the story to unfold. The difficulties came from having to constantly re-draw scenes and come up with new illustrations when the story got edited.

What kind of art do you enjoy? Comical, abstract or storytelling?
I enjoy mostly abstract works and one-panel comics, works that are limited in text and illustrative, surreal, non linear or leave much to the imagination.

Cable-WHAT?!

Hot Topic
By: Ain, Fatin & Shaistah

Have you ever heard of ski360°?  If you have, then you must have definitely heard of cable skiing. Cable skiing is a new form of wakeboarding. The only difference is that, you are being pulled by a cable instead of a boat. However, it is still considered as one of the extreme sports in Singapore.

The idea of having a cable ski park in Singapore first came about in December 2004 where National Park asked for tenders to turn the lagoon at East Coast Park into a water recreational centre. The National Park’s purpose was to turn the whole area into a lifestyle zone. Thus, after much research and considerations were made, ski360° decided to open up the first Cable Ski Park in Singapore on 20^th January 2006.

Although the response has been good, 80% of their customers initially used to be foreigners. But these days, more of the locals are opening up to this extreme sport. It is also getting more and more recognised as Singaporeans nowadays have a disposable income and thus can afford to engage in this kind of lifestyle. The first impression that many people would have of it is that it is very expensive. However, not only is it fun but it is also reasonably priced at $32/hr on a weekday and $42/hr on a weekend. Like any other sport, cable skiing also has its own dangers which are very minimal.

When asked about the dangers of this sport, Mr Roy Teo, General Manager of ski360° said “It is more related towards the sports kind of injuries. If they do not land correctly while doing the air tricks, they might end up fracturing themselves. If it is just getting around, then it is pretty safe because for beginners and first timers, they usually need to go through the safety briefing instructions.”  And that’s not all; ski360° even has their own cable wakeboarding school.

Ski360 ° cable Wakeboarding School is the first and only wakeboarding school in Singapore that provides courses and programs for cable wakeboarding. Their dedicated and experienced instructors will make sure students pick up the sport of cable wakeboarding in no time. Ski360° also organised the Singapore Wake Park Championship 2009 on the 13^th and 14^th of June at which Singapore was the 2^nd stop for the Asian Wake Park Tour 2009. According to Mr Roy Teo, ski360° is working closely with the Wake Board Association (Singapore) to generate more locals into this extreme sport.

We would want to encourage our readers to consider this sport as it is very entertaining and enjoyable and the best part of it all, it is inexpensive. We chose this sport because it is considered one of the coolest extreme sports in Singapore. Lastly, aloud would like to thank Mr Roy for granting us the interview and time despite his busy schedule. @

Extreme sport in Singapore

Extreme sports are activities that demand a high level of discipline, stamina and gears or spectacular stunts. It is so dangerous that it is rarely sanctioned in schools as it can result in injuries, permanent damages to the body such as paralysis and even deaths. In this article, aloud uncovers some extreme sports in our homeland that people do for competitions, while others simply do for the thrill of it.

By: Mastura & Rose

One example of an extreme sport in Singapore is the Triathlon. As far as some of us might know, triathlons consist of three legs; swimming, running, cycling. Each leg can cover a distance of up to approximately 10-15 km. Triathletes have to undergo intensive training to be well prepared; physically and mentally. If something negative happens, it might result in deaths. A CEO of a particular company died due to participating in the triathlon. Yes, this is definitely no laughing matter as this sport challenges your abilities and willpower to do whatever it takes to complete the race.

During the course of this activity, one will definitely feel extremely exhausted and may black out if he or she is not strong enough. However, even the person who has the fittest body may not win the triathlon, like the saying goes “It can be anyone’s game.” This is because recently, even a fit person like the captain of a football team could pass on due to sudden heart attack.

Hence, triathlon is not a test of how fit you are; instead it is a test on how well prepared you are to overcome challenging obstacles during the course of the competition. So if you think you can swim, run and cycle simultaneously, think again.

Martial art is known worldwide. There are so many different types of martial arts such as Muay Thai, Karate, Pencak Silat and many more. You may see this sport as a normal activity. But did you know that it all require a high level of discipline and fitness? Each martial art has its own style and specially designed tactical moves. If it is not done properly, one can injure himself which may lead to other problems. Though the risks are high, some individuals still carry it out for a few reasons such as self-defence and interest.

Martial art is one of the most popular sport for self-defence. Its tactical moves are created to counter an attack from a person. This ensures that the victim do not potray an image of weakness from within. This sport can also be considered as a form of exercise. Just like your typical jogging for half an hour, martial art can wear you out too as it is an exercise that requires physical exertion. It works out your body as it stretches and shapes your muscles.

Not forgetting they have rich historical backgrounds. They originated from different countries and are made known to people from all walks of life. This enables people who have no clue about this sport to learn about it. In other words, it is also a social activity for ‘fighters’ to know each other.

Martial art is not only an art of fighting; but also experiencing one’s culture with respect.

Extreme sports are dangerous if you are not prepared. It takes a lot of guts to be able to participate in such sports. Intensive training and hard work is crucial to carry out this sport. Kudos to those who managed to specialise in this sport! To those who would want to try, do you have the guts to do so? @
