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 3 - 3rd February 2010

Ah, finally. The day of the official face-off of APAC 2010. We were all excited to watch the teams play. With all the best teams in Asia assembled here, every team will be worth watching. Japan, the Kamikaze team, will turned up the heat against the Australians.

Travelling by MRT to Woodlands Sports Hall.

The Japs has always been known for their speed, agility and their "kamikaze" spirit on court. Although physically small in size, their strength and aggressiveness surprises any team. The Aussies, on the other hand, are BIG. Size is their biggest strength (pun intended). The Aussies may have a speedy Jonathan Veron on their side, but unfortunately for them, the Japs have a whole troupe of 'Verons' in their team!

Snapshots!

The Japanese!

The Australians!

The final score?

Japan 6 - Australia 2

The second match of the day saw the home team, Singapore, going up against Korea. Singapore, the much feared team, is definitely a team superior in its speed, technicality, agility and team work. A team bolstered by a handful of young guns, this team is set to cause some serious damage to other teams in APAC 2010. Korea, the team that has shown over and over again how passionate, persistent and physical they can be on court, is also a team to be reckon with. Their biggest weapon? Their heart. Their ability to not give up is something to be applauded for.

Singapore vs. Korea

But at the end of the day, only one team stands superior.

The final score;

Singapore 10 - Korea 2

Tomorrow will be our first game playing against the Singaporeans. How are we doing so far? Jitters are kicking in for sure but nonetheless, we will give our all regardless of the scoreline.

Malaysia!
