About Us

What is Borak-Borak Floorball?

Borak-Borak Floorball (BBF) was initiated by a group of three avid floorballers from Penang, Malaysia. The interest sparked off due to a certain passion for the sport and a keen desire to share that passion to others. With that, came the idea of 'borak-borak'.

What does the term "Borak-Borak" actually mean?

"Borak-borak" is a Malaysian lingo that equates to the English word "chit-chat". The phrase is commonly used and has somewhat the power to identify one's identity as a Malaysian. BBF is passionate to 'chit-chat' about the happenings and events of floorball, first in Penang and then the other parts of Malaysia. With that in mind, Borak-Borak Floorball came into existence.

Who are we?


BBF comprises mainly of three suspects under the pseudonyms of Jose, Bendy and Spritzer. However, BBF has also taken in hired-for-free reporters in their effort to cover as many grounds as possible.

NOTE: BBF is not an official website to any organization or governing body. We are merely a group of passionate floorballers who seek to share this passion to others. We strive to be courteous, neutral and honest in our opinions, thoughts, reviews and analyses.

Our vision?

BBF sought to 'talk big' and 'talk much' about floorball. We hope to represent the floorball community in Penang as well as the nation, Malaysia, in the bigger picture. We want to be a voice for floorball in the present and future generation, a voice to be heard not for recognition but for the ultimate growth and development of floorball in Malaysia.

APAC 2010 Journal: Day 1 - 1st February 2010

The day started at 6.30. Sleepy heads climbing out of the bed, a quick wash up, final check on the bags and off we went... It seemed to be a great start before a series of unfortunate events came along.

Penang had a group of 6 who were heading down to Singapore via Jetstar and during check in, we were told that the take off had been brought forward 15 minutes earlier. However, after a 30 minutes wait, we were then told that the flight has been delayed and then further delayed and even further delayed until we finally took off at 1.15pm. The good side to it other than recovering some sleep on uncomfortable chairs was that we were treated free MacD and switched our flight to MAS and had another meal during the flight. Save us lunch cost. ^^

eh, when we flying la...

By the time we touched down and arrived at Kok Ee’s place, which was 20+ stations away from the airport, it was already late noon and everyone dozed off. Dinner time saw the arrival of another 3 Malaysian from KL and all took off for dinner.

On the way, we passed by a big public court and Sam’s hands were getting itchy and suggested we have a floorball session, which we did. A nice pre-competition work out to get our muscles running. Tomorrow will be our first and final training at the arena, Woodlands Sports Hall.

pass! pass!

Now we sleep...

... and wait...
