When asked about her feelings towards touch rugby, Vernice replied with a short and direct answer, ‘issa complicated’. Although she is in a complex relationship with the sport, she enjoys being a TM because she gets to be a part of the stalking squad who stalks Fabien and his mystery girl. Vernice also thinks that our Trug boys train the hardest compared to other halls and she wants them to know that they should be happy, stay together and do not quit! She also says to look out for Claudia, Ikhsan, and Tanita on the field! Vernice is a woman of many strengths, and one of those strengths is her private TikTok account. She shared that when she is confident enough, she will go public and VIRAL! (P.S. when you see her ask her to renegade and hit the WOAH!)
When asked what has helped her through her TM duties, her beloved drawstring bag was immediately her answer. Not gonna lie, I was kind of shocked at how fast she replied that question, it was as if she and her bag were in a sus relationship. Our interview was supposed to be a solid 15 minutes, but we ended up talking for an hour. Even though we’ve never met in real life, her warm and bubbly personality was what I think made the interview so enjoyable that I didn’t want it to end. She is truly TM material. We ended the interview with a very big brain comment by Vernice. She says that she became a TM because it is a different way of being a part of the team. And also, she added, as a TM, she can never be cut from the team.
To Fabien, Trug is ‘a very versatile sport, it requires a quick mind and high sense of awareness, and beast-like instinctual movement that screams alpha’. That opening line from our interview was enough to tell me that I was going to have a very fun and exciting conversation with Fabien that day. He says that the worst thing about TM, is the fact that he has to sit at the sidelines and watch them have fun. Apparently, his legs itches to join the girls on the field. His advice to the girls is that if they ever feel hot and bothered on the field, they just need to remember that they have a hotter TM.
All these comments that Fabien made, prepared me for the next answer he was going to give me and cushioned me from the impact of his flabbergast-inducing answers. When asked what he would be famous for, he said that he would be famous for the next NUS incident. I shall just leave that there for your interpretation. He says that although he is bad at Frisbee because he isn’t that great at performing arts, his talents lie in being tenacious and hence, girls should slide into his DMs on instagram (@sleekyishere). Fabien also says that he doesn’t need to trade places with anyone because he is in everyone’s heart. Spoken like a true casanova, Fabien.
