memories of tpblazers. ; Saturday, May 29, 2010 01:02
i was watching cheer videos in fb. those that show memories carried over from years of hard work, and i thought that since i'm enlisting soon and i've go to say goodbye to tp blazers, i became very inspired to write this post.

a year ago, it was like any other season.
now i look back and realize,
this is the season i will remember forever.
; yod (aces coach)
this is my third year in tpblazers. every year, people come and go. i see many new faces. we build new families after the old have left. it seems like a normal routine and everything will be memorable. but when i think that i'm enlisting at the end of next month, i suddenly treasure what i have now more than how much i did in the past two years. whatever happens now would leave the deepest impression in me, and i'd bring that into tekong to motivate me whenever i need it.
we finally found that no matter win or lose,
silver, gold or bronze or not at all,
the joy we share will always linger in our hearts.
every cheerleader says that the nationals is the biggest stage for cheerleaders in singapore to show their sweat and tears of hard work. yes, it is. however, winning a prize is not that important. it only gives you a sense of status. we may not have won anything this year, and we may not get first next year, but the sense of improvement and training that we put in will be those that leave the deepest memories. how much time we commit to train together, the quarrels we went through and survived them to make greater friendship bonds. what's being champions compared to this?

countdown: 34 more days ; Tuesday, May 25, 2010 14:09
i don't mind enlisting and going tekong literally now. the only thing i can't put down is cheerleading. it's going to be two long years. and all the seniors would have graduated. i won't be seeing the juniors unless they come for saturday training. it's like losing touch with the whole world.
i never thought of ns to be a bad thing, whether it's modified or normal bmt. i actually longed for a normal ns life and not trying to opt for pes c or e.

tpblazers sentosa outing on 22 may 2010.
with the exclusions of people who left early
there are many occasions that people would like to compare us with other teams. we may not be the best and neither are our trainings the most fun YET, but all that's important is that we are one big happy family.

it's graduation already. :( ; Tuesday, May 18, 2010 02:23
how fast time flies. it's graduation already. in a few hours' time, i'm officially not a tp student anymore. and i suddenly have the nostalgic feeling when i first stepped into tp.
when you're a student, you wish you were working.
when you're working, you wished you were back in the classroom studying.
life isn't as fun when you're not in school anymore, seriously.

i hate going to training and getting scolded for the most nonsensical reasons.
you're a pot calling the kettle black. you say things without thinking, you self-contradict yourself unknowingly and it really make me feel that you want something else.
don't stamp your authority on me. you wouldn't like it if i were to do the same to you. if you think you're always right, GET A LIFE AND SUCK IT UP.

dreams ; Wednesday, May 12, 2010 01:03
YAY I WILL ONLY BE GETTING MY PAY ON 7 JUNE. thanks fish&co. i suddenly feel so poor now.
shoulderstand today. i should start attempting to fly the juniors from thursday and refresh myself.
gym tomorrow. can't even do a proper unassisted extension. i sometimes wonder if lib would be a reality or just a dream from the effort that i put in.

fuck my work ; Saturday, May 08, 2010 02:03
fuck my work. i want to be nice and help out, pushing my body to it's limits, working a full shift after legs conditioning and you exploit me over and over again.
no more being mr nice guy at work. I WILL NOT EXTEND TO WORK A FULL SHIFT TO HELP FOR SHORTAGE OF STAFF ANYMORE. no one keeps to what they say. after a long day of work, all i get is a, "thank you" WHILE TALKING TO YOUR NOTES. fuck it.
you run to my station, hide in the corner and use your fucking phone during work and when i go there, you demand that i go back to my station. HELLO FUCK YOU ARE SLACKING AT MY STATION I WAS JUST COVERING FOR YOU. i reply your question nicely and you give me a fucking, "WHAT?!".
"look, i know you, you and you end at 10 but if you leave now, we would have to slog until 12 midnight. so why not you all stay back and help each other so we can leave earlier together?"
normally, that would sound perfectly fine. during that circumstances, someone was working with an injured knee, someone was slogging a full shift with aching legs that he almost wanted to call in the morning to not report for work. and we didn't have a choice to decide. WE WERE FORCED TO STAY.
now i have to rub counterpain EVERYWHERE and hope for a miraculous recovery so i can go for training today. i couldn't walk straight when i ended work today. i have no plans to reach training punctually later. and it's not because i can't.

overworked. ; Thursday, May 06, 2010 15:12
it's the month of may already. i've been effectively working for the past three weeks. this is my fourth.
it's true that working keeps my mind occupied and earns me some extra cash but i think i may have overworked for a PART-TIME job. i even forgot that this sunday is mother's day. fortunately i managed to clear my night schedule for that day.
i don't regret working in f&b even if the pay is significantly lower than an average job. it's a fun environment. once in awhile, you get difficult customers. those who want to take away their iced tea when we don't offer that service. i contemplated pouring her drink into an inflated balloon because she didn't believe that we couldn't do that. if fish&co is a coffeeshop then your minced meat noodles outside would cost $7.50 per bowl.
they say the fastest way to learn something is to do it hands-on. teaching me how to operate the bar counter would take time. the faster alternative is to throw me inside for a night of operations, watching me frantically flipping through the recipes on how to make each drink. fortunately no one complained about the diabetic drinks, because i found them too sweet after i've made them.
in comes cheerleading. i've been trying to balance the two and i can say that i've done a good job. literally just cheer and work. but i forgot that cheerleading requires gym. and i have practically no time for it. i've been working more full shifts lately and i haven't been to the gym for two weeks. i can see my fitness level drastically dropping.
now i realise i hardly see my parents. they are asleep when i reach home at night and they have already left for work when i wake up in the morning.
since cheerleading is indispensable to me, i should reduce my work schedule. i need more family time.
