1.
When our beloved 501st Legion founder brought up the idea of compiling a Legion history book and invited us to contribute stories and photos, I thought since a picture speaks a thousand words and what’s better to present Singapore than the iconic mutant fish Merlion right?
Btw something unbelievable happened when I showed the above group pic to my mum, she can actually tell which one is me eventhough everyone has their helmet on! So far other than my mum, only my Garrison Commanding Officer (CO) and a few other garrison mates can differentiate which one is me among a group of identical looking troopers.
So my CO suggested why not challenge you, my friends and readers, to find me as well since he said you guys/girls seems to be good in pinpointing me out in previous posts. If you are game, leave your answer in the comments.
2. Date is last Saturday 16th May in the late afternoon. Gathering point is the One Fullerton. Thanks to all my senpai and kouhai who turned up for the event. This is the second biggest turnout this year with 19 troopers since St Patrick’s Day in March.
3. Overlooking the construction of the casino on the opposite bay.
4. A crowd starts to form up. Special hanks to AK-kun who took pic 4, 5 and 7. He will be joining the Empire soon.
5. Lord Vader leads the march.
6. And off we go.
7. Reached the Merlion Park which is nearby. Unfolding the 501st banner.
8. A even bigger crowd than just now. O_O
9. Hanging around for a while after the shoot.
10. Guess which one is me?
What is that guy on the right doing photographing our back?

12. this one is cute. ^^;

See whether you can spot me in Pic 1 and 10? Those who guessed correctly will get a cookie and a kiss. (‘~’)
---------------------------------------

And oh, I think youre the one in the left. Cause you didnt say on the caption that it was ‘your’ back? Oh wait, just ignore me.
my guess
pic 1 – 1st from the left
Pic 10 – the one on the right without weapon
good guess. all correct. ^^;
same guess as elvin.
u almost always pose holding on to your belt (i think)
=D
good observation. kudos ed. ^^;
So how does one distinguish you from the other troopers?
from our actions. (‘~’)
Is it one of those with a logo on the left hand?
everyone has one on the left shoulder bell. (‘~’)
hope aleast got 4 decent group pics
got swamed by deaf camera toting zombies like srsly.
HOMGWTFBBQ.
tourists mah. dot dot dot.
they all look the same ~_~’
unlike clone troopers, every stormtrooper is different in character and personality. ^^;
really?? i thought stormtrooper were newer version of clonetrooper~~~ (my knowledge of the force are weak~~ -_-’)
After the Clone Wars, the clone troopers were reorganised into the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps and slowly replaced by non-clone recruits. One of the few stormtrooper legion to be of pure clones is the 501st Legion, named in honour of real life 501st Legion. ^^;
is your suit custom made? how much does the full set of Storm Trooper cost?
it’s all custom made. depends on which marker. cheapest is around USD700. do not get any armour from ebay.
which country are u from? let me check if there’s a garrison near u.
I’m from the Philippines, I think I can’t afford it right now,in the future maybe ^^
Hahaha, trade secret my friend. If you wanna know, go join the 501st unit nearest to your location.
I should aim to be a trooper so that I can attract more girls ^^;
let me know when u are ready. ^^;
Wow, thats awesome. Cant wait till the day I join the 501st legion, but it would be kinda pointless getting the kit where I live now, its like the smallest city in the world.
“do not get any armour from ebay.” thanks for the tip, first place I looked
Not yet have the chance to see the troopers. One day, i believe.
u can drop by when this trooper go grocery shopping at jurong point. (‘~’)
Hmm…
/me stalks out at Jurong Point every day after work.
let me give it a shot
1 – extreme left, holding his crotch
10 – the one on the right, leaning on the pole.
crotch? (‘~’)
LOL.
the part between your legs!
that stormtrooper was holding onto them in both photos~!
murahaha…
i agree
same here
u got both right. not bad.
LOL at the crotch comments XD
LOL x2
I didn’t know Singapore was invaded and now under Imperial Occupation…
Does that mean I don’t have to serve NS anymore?
no u will have to serve under VADER.
He isn’t as forgiving as the NS…
LoL sorry, had to put in that RotJ reference XD
1: last guy on the left of the picture, getting his head wet by the merlion spew. ^^
10: the one on the right closer to the guy taking a photo of your behinds. ^^;
btw were you able to get a new helmet?
new helmet? the current one is fine. ^^;
my mistake, I have a vague memory of you asking Danny about a new helmet, since the opening on yours is too small? ^^;
one helmet aren’t cheap. i’m happy with mine. *kiss*
small opening is good as people can’t look into in from the back.
Lol Sg has been invaded by stormtroopers. Never knew there were quite a number of people in sg that love being stormtroopers haha.
we are the biggest garrison in asia. ^^;
beware of that guy taking photos of your back.. lol ^^
oh wait, he isnt after you at all..
Wow! I wonder do we have such thing in M’sia… >.<"
Our FRUs would definately fully armed with water pump and shields to play Songkran Festival with you.. =.=""
Hard to spot you…when there is many others that look like you…
