When you are out in the open sea, there are only the sailor, the boat and the sea. Scary but liberalising at the same time we think. We really admire Samantha for her bravery, she won first in the 2010 Optimist Oceania Championships.

Ever since his strong debut in the 2014 Asian Rugby Football Union (ARFU) Men’s 7s series in Hong Kong, this cutie will settle for nothing less than a SEA Games gold medal for the Singapore rugby team. We all have high expectations for the team too!
