Welcome to our first edition of the all new – Jantan test. In this weekly series, we hope to weed out the masculine from the feminine, separate the men from the boys and find out some pretty interesting things about our members.
Today’s first match-up features two people who’ve recovered from near-permanent, life-threatening injuries and jumped right back into the game like men (right?) We pit Randy Khoo from our very own group JBJ in a head-to-head with Andrew commander Nigel Sia.
This is a heavyweight match-up. Both weigh more than, uh, 85kgs (?) and both look eerily similar with small eyes and wide smiles. But the similarities end there, because today, we are going to find out who is more “jantan” of the two. Let the test begin!
1. Have you ever had a serious dislocation / injury? Where, when and what?
Randy: Many actually. 4 Dislocations (3 shoulders and 1 wrist). Wrist during cycling incident around 10 yrs old. Shoulder dislocation back-2-back within 2.5 years period. (2 during camps; one youth, one family - one during group outing) Other Injuries were massive concussion on head during secondary school - but escape without any fatal injuries (crashed head from 2 metre level to ground) Was sprawling on ground for a good 10 minutes before able to walk.
Nigel: Tip of backbone is curled to the right - 2004 - present, can't carry heavy items.
Randy 1 – Nigel 1: Ouch! Those are some mean injuries.
2. Ever been stopped by a policeman? What offense?
Randy: Yes. Apparently, it was for breaking red light during easter day 2006. Fortunately after some heated arguments with the police, he let me go free. Absolute wasting time and tax payer's money.
Randy 2 – Nigel 2: Okay, we’ll call it even steven. Speeding and crossing red lights are dangerous offences. Kid’s don’t try this at home.
3. What's the most extreme sport you've played?
Randy: Not really into extreme sports. But have tried skateboarding. Does that count?
Randy 3 – Nigel 3: Both into skateboarding. Can you believe that? Normally this won’t count as extreme, but when you try to skateboard with that kind of, uh, body mass, that’s really extreme. Don’t hurt yourself!
4. What's the one thing you can't stand about women?
Randy: The way they drive. 80% of near collisions and dangerous driver encounters are all women. Their rough and violent nature seems to easily come out on the road.
Randy 3 – Nigel 3: No one scores here. Come on, Randy. It’s just too easy to pick on women’s driving. That ain’t Jantan. We have nothing to say about Nigel.
5. What's you must-have product - the one thing you can't do without?
Randy: Teh-ais. Keeps me going from lunch hour to dinner without eating in between. Definitely my's solution to keep going.
Nigel: Product? - Pillows
Randy 3- Nigel 3: No score here either. Not quite manly, dudes.
6. Who do you prefer: James Bond or Austin Powers?
Randy: Hmmm.. Hard to decide. . Coz his line is - Do I make you Randy baby? groovy...
Nigel: Austin Powers
Randy 3 – Nigel 3: ’s brown hair doesn’t hold a candle to James’ chest hair.
7. What's the most expensive thing you've broken?
Nigel: Does crashing a vehicle count?
Randy: Church Bass guitar. Accidental. Have no idea how much it costs.
Randy 3 – Nigel 4: Car crash, thumbs up. Broke church guitar, not cool. Not cool at all.
8. When was the last time you fulfilled your new year's resolution?
Randy: Don't really do it on a year to year basis - mostly short term and long term basis (irregardless of the time of the year). Most recent is training and running marathon during olympics for John Mark in 2006.
Nigel: Last year
Randy 4 – Nigel 4: What? No details, Nigel? Randy, it’s definitely manly trying to run a marathon even if you know you can’t win. At least you tried.
That wraps up this first edition of the Jantan Test. Disagree with our scoring? Want to nominate another pair to take the Jantan Test next week? Post here or send an e-mail to james.brotherofjesus@gmail.com. Till then, enjoy.
