japan - the land of cutesies~
there even is such cute version of their map =)
so what do i love abt japan?
the vending machines?
yeah they are found practically everywhere
and u can buy almost anything from their vending machines
from normal ones like cold or hot drinks
to cigarettes and condoms
they seriously made full use of this invention for their convenience ya~
and i love tokyo!
(well its the only place i’ve been to in japan..)
love the ppl there
they are always so disciplined and polite
always keeping to the right
(yeah it might sound like a small thing but i am damn irritated with those ppl standing here there everywhere on the escalator blocking my way while i am rushing!)
its so difficult to find dustbins ard there but..
the streets are still so clean!
i found out later ..
the japanese actually picks up OUR rubbish
no litter..
and and theres more to it
we can eat on the subway in japan hooray!
why why?
all boils down to the ppl being disciplined
they wont litter and dirty the train!
i love their culture and how disciplined (considerate) the ppl can be!
for all the above mentioned
i have to go to japan to experience it myself
but way before i went to japan
i love japan already!
first up,
japanese manga/anime!
and slam dunk gotta be my all time fav!
accompanied me through my sec 4 life
slam dunk made me laugh so hard and cry so much!
even now when i see them
i can still feel the clinch in my heart =)
slam dunk forever yay!
and how could i ever miss this out..
their foooooooooooooood!
omg i love jap food so much!
jap food anytime for me man!
favourite is sashimi!
and favourite sashimi is mekajiki (swordfish!)
yummy!
i can go to jap buffets and jus whack on the sashimi =P
hehe..
and japan is such a lovely country
with the cutest things on earth!
one of the shops in tokyo
snoooopy land!
it was a sponsored trip to japan few years back
i wanna save money to go there again!
last but not least..
why was there sponsored trip?
cos of my favourite sports - cheerleading!
japan cheerleaders are one of those greatest around the world
it was such great exposure to be able to even watch them live
we couldnt even match up to their ALL FEMALE teams!!
it definitely opened my eyes
and widened my horizons!
as usual
i still kept thinking abt cheer after the comp
even though i have alr stopped competing for 2 years
once a cheerleader always a cheerleader
haha
me and regine together cheered for ALL the competing teams
especially those teams whom nobody cheered for
but deep down inside my heart
i know which are the teams i really want them to win
yeah 2 teams
aces and wildcards
i dunno whether i shld feel happy abt the results
because both teams were the national champions
both teams won~
i was telling my colleagues before the comp
either team wins i would cry
cos i really dun wish to see any of these 2 teams lost
but do i feel happy abt the results now?
honestly i think nobody is really happy haha
its just a -_- feeling
i rather feel sad when either of these team loses than feeling this kind of
totally sian diao feeling
when it really shldnt be the feeling u feel aft a major comp =P
but anyway
its still good
it might not be the best results but at least
neither team needs to feel sad
aces is still the defending champion!
the juniors, both team gold and blue
whom majority i dunno the names
have surprised me in many ways!
mostly new and inexperienced cheerleaders
they’ve shown us how much they have progressed in this short short period
and i really meant ALOT!!
well done aces~
i have my share of happy and unpleasant memories with aces to be honest
but afterall aces is still my home for cheerleading
i dunno how the relationship turned out to be so awkward
cos of some ppl in the team
but i still always see myself as an aces flyer
a fact that would never change
i remember the times when zm always talk to the flyers on msn
the times when neville n i were bitching abt other ppl
(mostly done by neville tho =P)
the times when rara bear would tell me its a routine he talks to his animal family on msn everyday
the times when spencer would msn me asking me abt my ankle
(i dunno why i even rmb this)
the times when ian just loved to give all sorts of nicknames some seriously awful
the times when i helped xw in wooing xw (haha~)
lots of things happened in the short 2 years i competed for aces
i guess i was too emotional back then
but then i think again
if ur friends cant accept ur emotional part
they arent really ur type of frens
lots of memories which nothing could change them
but memories are part of u which shldnt be left behind
they helped u to move forward to be a better person
i am still emotional
but good friends help me steer my emotions in the right directions =)
and CARDS!
u have finally proven urself to be the national champs!
the best in singapore!
i am really really really ^10000 proud of you
wildcards are really like my little babies
(but stop calling me mama.. -_-)
i have been watching them grow
from the beginning until now
despite being a social team with limited time to train
and different commitments for everyone
you have grown sooo much
everyone surprised me in every possible way
