Hav not blogged for so damn long.
Cos nothing much happened.
Now in HK.
Been here since beginning of June, which means I have not been coaching or training for almost TWO months now.
Longing to fly again.
Got performance before coming back to HK.
But din wanna blog abt it cos something bad happened during performance.
Din happen to me, but to my teammate.
Still, it has affected me one way or another.
Anyway, will be ditching this blog, and combining my cheerleading life with my personal blog.
Not easy to maintain two blogs and so ended up neglecting this blog for the past year.
Not good.
Will be back in Spore at the end of next week.
Hopefully can start training soon after that.
Refer to my personal blog for updates bah.

Warning to Outsiders
To those of you (especially guys) out there who think that cheerleading is a chance for a guy to touch a gal (in the perverted sense that you want to believe in), well, I will not try to change YOUR thinking.
But remember - YOU see it as a chance, not so for our male cheerleaders.
Do not tell me that our male cheerleaders share the same wavelength as you.
Do not even imply anything close to that.
Most of the time, a male cheerleader only get to hold the gal's shoes.
The rest of the time, he is either being elbowed in the face, or kicked in his balls while trying to save the flyer (or flyerS).
As for the looking-up-the-gals-skirt issue, they are most probably too busy trying to stabilise the stunt to keep us safe to take notice.
Don't you dare accuse my fellow cheerleaders for joining the sport with ill intentions, and lower them to your non-existing moral standard.
They are not just my fellow cheerleaders - they are my friends.
So watch it before you open your gap with any accusations.
By the way, we cheerleaders are not stupid.
We gals knows whether a guy is trying to do something more than stunts, so thanks for the concern.
Now go eat your own crap.

Imagination Going All Over The Place
Edward n I were having some funny discussions some days back.
Me: I wanna buy mats for our home in the future, so that I can single base my kid when she is 5.
Ed: Dun want lar. Dun subject our kid to such things.
Me: Then I single base my best friend's kid instead?
Ed: Ya, can *laugh*
Me: It is so cool! I think I can do toss to hands with my kid.
Ed: Ok, then we have a kid just for that (cheerleading) purpose.
Me: Ok! Boy or gal?
Ed: *laugh* Gal lor. Boy can teach him to play soccer.
Me: So we have 1 kid specially for cheerleading and another for soccer. Then I wanna have one for basketball, and another for netball...
I wander how my kid(s) would turn out to be in the future *think think think*
PS: stil waiting for SAJC's performance pic n video *wait wait wait*

SA's Pre-Sports Day Performance
The PE HOD assessed my SA kids' sports day routine last week.
The routine was meant for this coming Thursday, and a few PE teachers came to look through the routine.
This is the 1st time the kids are performing for the school after THE accident last year.
So the school wanna make sure everything will go smoothly on that day - so, no wobbly stunts pls.
1 complete routine, within 2 days.
I sure had my fingers crossed throughout the whole assessment.
And the HOD was very happy with the routine *phew*
I'm so damn glad.
Gd job, kids!
Will post video after the performance on Thursday :)

Cheerobics 2009
Cheerobics 2009 is finally over!
My SA kids joined the open division group cat. as team Spectrum Youth.
The heel stretch din dismount the way I intended for it to, but hey, the flyer din fall and the bases managed to save the stunt and continue with the routine.
'm really happy that they listened and practised what they were taught - the importance of communication during routine.
For a team who had little experience and training time, they did very well.
And I would not expect anything more from them.
To XY, Singgih, Pinky, Bryan, Doreen: 'm really proud of you all.
As for Spectrum, well, we withdrew from the group cat.
Ya, after all the late nites, pain, tears, injuries, sacrifices, effort and hopes, we didn't take part.
It is a long story.
But I think it doesnt matter anymore.
Although we din display the fruits of our labour, what matter most is the lessons learned for the past 2 weeks.
We are 5 cheerleaders who came together with one common goal - Cheerobics.
And we forgot that we are 5 individuals with different skills and abilities, believes and values, and ways of handling stress.
As a result, we misunderstand, and were misunderstood.
Many a times, we almost fell apart as a team.
And it was only after sessions of "serious talk" that we start to see things from each other's point of view.
We still dun understand each other completely, but we are learning to get there.
And with that, hopefully, we would learn to trust each other more during stunts in the future.
Then there are those from Spectrum who came for trainings just to spot our stunts, to ensure our safety, and to support us in whatever way they can.
'm really grateful to them.
Thank you so much *hugz*
I'm (and the rest of the group are also) in pain and covered in bruises.
'm wishing hard for a speedy recovering of our injuries.
Thank you so much to those who showed concern over my injuries.
Something as simple as "how are you now?" and "are you ok?" makes me feel less pathetic, and that there are still some warmth in this world.

My right leg is still very much in pain, and I can barely rest my weight on it without feeling the pain.
Hopefully I can recover soon - I miss kickbox and tennis.

Trust
In the prev prev training, I hit the side of my head, again.
It is still swollen.
In the prev training, I was let free-fall, head down, before being caught by the bases and came to a sudden stop.
Ed said I was inches away from the ground before being caught.
I really thot I was going to hit the ground *touch wood*
The shock of it made me teared, and I couldn't bring myself to do the same stunt again.
Lost the trust, I guess.
Now, I'm covered in bruises.
Ed asked me if it is worthed all these, if this is really what I want.
Honestly, I still want to go for it... to try to improve myself as a cheerleader.
It is what I want.
I'm just not sure if the injuries are justified.
I miss cheering with Eddie, David, KJ, Weida, Law, Isaac and Chuanyan.
And even CR - cos I know he would catch me no matter what.
I miss being able to trust my bases.
