larry's lunch ; Saturday, October 31, 2009 22:47
sleeping techniques. three adults squeezing on a double bed. HAHAHA.
larry booked out from tekong today so blazers met him for lunch. i was early. went to stroll and ended up being the last to arrive because i thought the place was in ps.
just acia. free flow ice cream. eat until you feel like puking. seriously. overdosed.
left early because i needed to go home for dinner. trained back to amk and ended up being stranded there because the rain was so heavy that i could not even see the hub, which was opposite. wanted to lie on the chair but neither wanted to be stomped, nor chased out by security.
69 more minutes. HAPPY HALLOWEEN PEOPLE! (:

happy birthday to my mother! ; Friday, October 30, 2009 00:50
happy birthday to my mother! i managed to rush and reach home before 2330 to celebrate with my family. though i missed celebrating my sister's birthday because of training.
i did my first successful extension attempt with faezah and terence helping me to support! okayy. actually the first attempt was after nationals with jasmine. but that was with super a lot of support. totally not using my strength at all.
coach gave me 2 weeks to perfect extension without any support. she said doing single lib by nationals shouldn't be a problem. and that i should attempt cupie also.
dreams. i should gym doubly-hard to achieve them. a year ago, i was just a front and back spotter with no idea why i'm going to training for. now, i've something to aim for.
-
on a side note, i've to go school for apel tomorrow.
12-1. weiliang doesn't want to go school gym, which means i'd miss fsp. oh wells.

bedok 85! ; Wednesday, October 28, 2009 22:09
I WAS AN ULTIMATE PIG TODAY. but i didn't mind. it's been a long time since i last ate so much.
went to bedok 85 with shaowei, weiliang and xianlong. let's see. i ate minced meat noodles, rice with stingray and morning glory, two chicken wings and a bowl of porridge. xianlong ate exactly the same, except he changed the porridge with another bowl of noodles.
bedok has LOTS OF NICE FOOD that sadly, i'm only exploring with a few people of my class recently. next, we should go maude road for the "white sauce lor mee". any takers, text me!
gym-ed in school. my body was still aching but i didn't care. now it aches even more. did stretching and realised my side split sucks. oh wells.
+++
failed extension ; 01:06
i missed my first lecture today! mobile communications. two reasons. firstly, i did not have the book and i found it redundant to attend lecture. second, i think people from other schools came to crash the lecture because apparently, the whole lt was full till there was only space left on the first row.
went to my usual place at block 11. wanted to sleep but decided that since i brought my laptop, must as well used it. scrolled through my movie list and decided.
I WATCHED CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. i know it's quite old. but still, it's nice! no time for a second movie though.
apparently the 110 pushups i did on monday caused my arms and shoulders to ache quite badly.
tried extension with faezah today. and what weihoe said really came true! i got stuck halfway. argh!
my walk-to-hands is still equally sucky. either i don't go up high enough, or my catching is damn slow. should start doing every training again or i wouldn't improve.
i decided to aim higher.
i want to do my lib BEFORE nationals.
+++
changes ; Tuesday, October 27, 2009 01:10
i know i'm such a disappointment. i know that i can't do it, yet i refuse to try. instead, i'm more determined to do something else. it is not wrong, but i should try to do everything. oh wells. i am not a sad story.
went to school early to add the garnishes to my mp project before grading from my supervisor tomorrow. another day that i've to go 2 hours earlier for grading. the bad thing about having a good timetable. lecturers know how to exploit it.
training is undergoing many changes. time to adapt. and there are many things that i shouldn't comment about. i'm a robot. you ask me to do this, i do this. i want to be an alien, but i guess that's not possible anymore.
I NEED TO DO MY CAREER COMMUNICATION MP REPORT EITHER BEFORE I SLEEP, OR TOMORROW MORNING. and the book doesn't even provide an example.
+++
shf performance ; Monday, October 26, 2009 00:01
firstly, congratulations to everyone who performed at cwp today. for the juniors, it's your first public performance. i hope you got good exposure to the atmosphere and audience.
all stunts up. i think. minus terence's lib.
the video is 121 mb. so much for hd. i took almost an hour to receive it.
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER. so geok ghee, don't worry. HAHAHA.
i didn't attempt my extension because there were no mats provided. and the place was quite small also. there's always a tomorrow!
-
liverpool 2 manu 0
torres and ngog. the league is more balanced now. better than having manu run away with the title. now chelsea is top.
vidic broke his record of being sent off 3 consecutive times against liverpool. mascherno joined him because he wanted to shower without queuing.
+++
; Saturday, October 24, 2009 23:53
juniors. tomorrow will be your first public performance. though it's not an all-juniors performance, you'd still gain enough experience and exposure.
it would be different from the normal routines we run in training. you've got to shout with all your energy. get the crowd going. arm motions have to be sharp. do everything with pride. we are cheerleaders.
please listen to the music tonight. do not be nervous tomorrow. if you done something wrong, continue cheering. don't stop and start cursing.
we will be in a public place. please behave yourselves. and lastly, safety is still the number one priority during the stunts.
rest well people. (:
+++
; 00:01
plurk is massively being spammed. i think i should quit using it.
i still think going to school for apel on friday is stupid. oh wells.
ran 2.4km on lane 8. didn't time AGAIN. i should invent in a stopwatch or risk failing napfa.
gym-ed with weiliang, xianlong and gerald after that.
i've training tomorrow and my whole body is aching. let's hope i'll miraculously recover when i wake up in the morning. and i hope i don't oversleep like i did this morning again. or training would probably be over when i wake up.
-
I WANT TO TRY DO EXTENSION ON SUNDAY! (:
+++
improvements! ; Wednesday, October 21, 2009 19:32
i had to reluctantly drag myself out of bed at 0618 this morning. lucky i didn't gamble and skipped netsec. or there goes my attendance. and. netsec is damn fun! we're playing with viruses.
ran 2.4km with weiliang at yck stadium. i think i ran faster than my previous 12 minute timing, though i didn't time myself.
gym-ed after that. gerald came down. i made two improvements!
bench press 12.5kg a side, total 25kg,
clean and jerk 17.5kg a side, total 35kg.
finally. some results. though there's more to aim for.
i think i can start attempting extension.
training tomorrow. somehow, i feel aimless on days without training and if i don't hit the gym. come on blazers, we can do it!
9-5 tomorrow. my first and only full day. 1 hour lunch break. that's all. lets hope lessons end early! or it'd be quite boring.
+++
WHY ; 00:54
why are we always making coach angry. why are we not following the timings. why are we not putting in more effort and training harder.
if i knew why, the word wouldn't be used for questions.
and why WE? because we progress as a team.
i think it's unfair that some people are putting in more effort than the others. for a moment, i wanted to just train my lib and not care about anything else. but that's not the case. i want to help but no one's asking.
you're still having the mentally that training 3 times a week is enough. i understand that timetables are hectic. i shan't elaborate.
do what you deem fit. if anyone asks me, i'll be more than willing to help. otherwise, i'll just gym for myself.
-
thanks to alan, superman and michelle for coming down to training and assisting us with our tumbling today! (:

cheer stress ; Tuesday, October 20, 2009 00:30
let me just say this once.
don't fucking show me attitude during training. if you have no respect for me as a senior, then fucking get out of my life. i will totally ignore you as long as i'm in the team.
if i scold you, at least i bother to. if we are lenient, you take things for granted. cheerleading is not a sport that you can fucking laugh everything of. i will not let you touch my flyers. because you don't deserve to.
if i have to enforce discipline, i rather do it the harsh way. if you think i'm talking nonsense then just ignore me. i don't need to convince or beg you to listen to me.
simply put. if you deserve to be train, i'll make sure i put in my best efforts to train you. otherwise, you're just another sand sitting on the beach.
-
anyway, thanks to melvin for coming down to training today!
my walk-to-hands really need improvement. if i don't care about anything, the least i've to do is to improve myself.
+++
steamboat! ; Sunday, October 18, 2009 23:51
thanks to justin for organising the ma la steamboat at east coast road!
seriously, i was tempted. i knew my stomach would most likely die, but it wouldn't make sense to go there and drink chicken soup. so i indulged. and now. the consequences.
i think i should stop being overly punctual for blazers outings. or i'll waste time waiting and making myself bored. so much that i ate two scoops of awfully chocolate ice cream, which was nice. seriously. not like normal chocolate icecream. (:
-
my table is in a mess. i'm not prepared for school. lucky i have no lessons on monday. for me to do all my preparations.
going to school to buy books tomorrow. i think i'd be more hardworking with a different class. no. i would be more hardworking. i want to see distinctions this semester.
if only you do what i say, things would be so much easier.
+++
insomnia ; 12:14
this morning. the second morning that i've been awake after 5am. i think i'm getting insomnia. i wasted two hours lying in bed because i couldn't sleep at all.
okayy. five hours of sleep. i'm going to the gym in 45 minutes and i'm going for steamboat at parkway parade for dinner. i think i'll probably fall asleep somewhere.
school starts tomorrow. and i don't have lessons on monday. which probably may give me a reason to sleep more.
anybody wants to gym before training tomorrow? call me. (:
+++
I NEED TO SLEEP EARLIER! ; Saturday, October 17, 2009 02:05
i remember saying that i should start sleeping early or i'd have problems when school starts. and apparently after that day which i stayed up till 0430 in the morning, i can't seem to sleep early.
shall summarise my timetable.
monday: nothing
tuesday: 11-2
wednesday: 9-12
thursday: 9-5
friday: 12-1
anyone who wants to meet me for gym anytime, call me!
and with this new class, i think i'd probably gym more also.
-
i'm been thinking of blazers recently. when i was a junior a year ago. and i can't seem to get the nostalgic feeling away.
+++
screw the timetable ; Thursday, October 15, 2009 16:35
i admire jasmine for her positiveness. seriously.
i want to be optimistic. i tried. i really did. but externalities always prove me otherwise. i'm always dragged down.
cheer. always about it.
-
anyway, i saw my timetable. if it's only my timetable that i'm talking about, then i'm quite fine with it. i have monday off, though i've to go school in the evening for training. and i have to go school an hour on friday for apel.
moving on, i went to check who is in my class. and i realised, i'm the SOLE RENEGADE. and because terence chose a different elective, i don't have anyone to renegade myself with.
screw the timetable. my last semester in tp. you don't even let me spend it with my friends. and when i console myself that i still have cheer, i look and think. and i drag myself down in deep thoughts again.
+++
; Wednesday, October 14, 2009 00:33
thanks faezah for the shirt! (:
i decided to skip gym tomorrow because my right wrist hurts. and apparently, i realised there was a cut on my left wrist while i was bathing. lucky it wasn't deep or i would have been mistaken for attempted suicide.
tried lib on the floor and i did it but i think terence was helping me to hold A LOT of weight. equals FAILED.
my walk-to-hands is becoming more sucky. i don't go up fully, turn halfway and my grip sucks. argh!
ATTENTION:
the backspot is important. you save lives. your role is equally important as the bases. don't think you are useless.
if you are slow, come earlier to train. learn your timing. get your stunt group and spotters and train.
when coach is here, she wants to teach us new things. she wants to see progression and improvement. and what do we do? we make her angry.
nobody's perfect. if you think that 2 hours of training on stunts per training day is enough, then you are either a fast learner, or you're talented. and i'm neither.
+++
21 ; Tuesday, October 13, 2009 00:18
thanks blazerians, for the cake today! (:
full post is here.
did my first attempt on walk-to-hands extension. not the best and still a lot more to be improved! second attempt tomorrow.
and i like justin because he shoulder-stand me! hahaha.
day 3 of gym tomorrow. any takers?
+++
happy 21st birthday to myself! ; Sunday, October 11, 2009 23:41
happy 21st birthday to myself! officially an adult under the eyes of the law.
i actually have 3 other friends from different schools who share the same birthday today.
anyway, gym-ed with gerald today. the first of the six days of gym this week.
the vanishing act. four hours. turn off your phones. remain uncontactable. walk around singapore and try to find each other. let's just say it's fated. and fun.
i proclaim that cheerleading is the best damn thing that has happened to my life. i wasted too much time doing unproductive things years ago. and i'm going to make all this worth it.
+++
600th post! ; Friday, October 09, 2009 23:44
yay! the 600th post for this blog. 400 more and i'll change the link.
fulfilled 5 consecutive days of gym! running 2.4km and resting tomorrow, and the cycle would restart itself on sunday!
i appear to miss school. considering that i go back to school everyday when it's the holidays.
apparently daniel will be lost in pulau ubin on monday and tuesday, so i'll have to discipline myself to go school early and gym before training.
+++
happy 18th birthday to my sister! ; 02:10
happy 18th birthday to my sister! actually, it was yesterday.
i accidentally agreed to meet shiyuan at white sands hkc for dinner so i initially thought i had to rush there and back home but my mother called to say they would cut the cake without me. double dinner in an hour.
i reached ws at 2330. the last bus was leaving pasar ris interchange at midnight. by the time the food came, we knew that was impossible.
planned to walk home through old tampines road but lucky the last bus service 53 came 10 minutes late so we took it! walking home from bishan is nearer, though i was already mentally prepared to walk home from pasar ris. so much for the adventure.
i did my 3 walk-to-hands today! thanks to faezah, natasha and charyl. next aim is to achieve the stunt without assist and then extension!
i need to gym more. work on everywhere for extension. day 5 of gym in school later.
+++
happy 23rd birthday to my brother! ; Thursday, October 08, 2009 00:02
happy 23rd birthday to my brother!
we're all getting old. oh wells.
met daniel in school for gym today. third consecutive day. tomorrow shall be the forth. my whole body is aching such that it'd cramp with the slightest movement of my body.
i will do both my walk-to-hands tomorrow even if my wrists don't allow me to.
larry is enlisting tomorrow. we are all going to miss you! training will never be the same and as fun again. but life goes on. we'll carry on the blazers spirit!
and apparently, there are cats meowing downstairs so loudly that i can hear it sixteen floors up.
+++
; Tuesday, October 06, 2009 00:13
i'm not god. i will try my best to prevent a stunt from falling and the flyer from touching the ground.
but i can't catch everyone. you have to play your part.
if you can fault someone, you're telling me that you can do it better yourself.
+++
legacy recruitment drive ; Sunday, October 04, 2009 22:57
bryan called me at 1325 to tell me that legacy was starting to perform in 5 minutes, and i was staring at my laptop screen and digging for treasure in fb.
anyway, met terence and went there. missed the cheer, went to the toilet to change and the dance was over.
stunts. did elevator and cradle dismount. feels like training because we do that EVERY training. learnt the straight-down dismount, which resembles a pencil-down.
i thought blazers had the most representatives, before wildcards came.
i felt that it was a good exposure to whoever who went there.
had to rush to town to meet my family for dinner after they abandoned me because i missed the bus 133 across the road. i always miss the same bus at the same place.
training tomorrow. and gym before that!
+++
tired ; Saturday, October 03, 2009 23:36
i dragged myself out of bed at 1015 for breakfast, turned on my laptop and fell asleep till 1442.
i went to east coast park in the evening for a yoga session with 2.7k other people in the rain and realised that i need to do more deadlift at the gym and my flexibility sucks.
now my body aches even more. and i didn't go to the gym today.
mooncake festival - moon (hidden by the clouds) = cake festival
legacy recruitment drive is tomorrow!

blazers cheer camp 2009 ; Friday, October 02, 2009 23:50
blazers cheer camp 2009 has been a success! thanks to all the committee members and anyone else who contributed towards the backstage work for making this camp so fun!
i must say that i'm amazed by how the team managed to bond so closely together during the past 2d1n. i made many new observations that i've previously overlooked during training.
the juniors learnt basket-toss and i did 2 quite bad extensions.
i can see that almost everyone had put in a lot of effort during stunts.
accidents are almost-bound to happen during training. hence, i have consistently been stressing on safety. we are advancing in the level of difficulty for our stunts. EVERYONE WATCHING THE STUNT HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CATCHING THE FLYERS IF THEY FALL.
i admit and i know that i have made a few slips during the camp and hence, the flyer fell. that's why it's important that i find out what's wrong and correct the mistake so it won't happen again.
the team bonding games showed that everyone could communicate well with each other. it showed that we need teamwork to complete the game. likewise in cheer, everyone has to play their part. there shouldn't be people idling around doing nothing while on the mats.
moving on to the mini-stunt competition. which team won the competition isn't that important. what matters is that everyone had fun. even when we almost got evicted from the hall and we didn't get to finish preparing for the competition, we got on and displayed a ravishing performance.
everyone of you played a part for making this camp a fun and memorable one.
and more thanks to the people who helped out to wash and carry the equipment around. (:
