The Crew Story
Why does the SMUX executive committee call themselves the Crew?
Here, we bring you an excerpt from Shawn Tee, President of the 1st Crew and the story behind it.

Speed & Splash – White Water Rafting 2009!
It was my first time at a waterfall and the experience was great! We really had a lot of fun playing, splashing each other and soaking in the water. And it was also my first time trekking, (or hiking?) so I thought it was quite fun even though I often lose my footing and fall into the stream. And the rafting was really exciting! I would like to go for rafting and to the waterfall again! =)
cheers

This trip gives me chance to try white water rafting for the first time and it is really quite a thrill to be floating down a rapid river on a yellow tube! In that short 5km rafting which I secretly hope it was far longer, we paddled, we rolled about in the float, we screamed and finally we also capsized which some people really like while others were straight scared(me). The other highlight of this trip was the Waterfall trek. We walked through pokey grass, across big fat branches, got attacked by leeches and cross the river 6 times to get to the pretty and cooling waterfall. It was rewarding as we all enjoyed soaking and playing in the waters and I bet many of us got way too lazy to trek back! This trip takes us away into the peaceful rural area where we stayed in dormitories with great mountain views and bbq for dinner, slap-jack for digestion and small cozy talks, far away from the too-many-things-to-do life which I am sure we all hate.

Canoe polo Clinic 09
“Canoe polo? How can you fit so many kayaks into a swimming pool? Its too small.” Watching the incredulous look on their faces, I knew that the only way to answer that question was to play the game in an actual swimming pool. The NTU canoe polo team was kind enough to lend us time at their swimming pool, and after a week or two of preparation, my friends sat in their kayaks at one end of the pool, prepared to learn the basics of the game. Over the course of the clinic, we tried ball passing, shooting, practise various braces and rolls, and of course, play an actual game of Canoe Polo. It was a memorable experience, filled with goals, frantic paddling, even more frantic back paddling, and a few kayakers who suddenly found they were upside down. Looking back, I know that it wasn’t my first time playing canoe polo, and it wouldn’t be the last.
