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

wildcards have ppl from all sorts of background
different levels of experiences in cheerleading
from zero experience to cheerleaders from the champions teams
at the end of the day

on the way to holland v after recruitment essential brews love the seats (which is no seats at all) then another series of stupid pictures….. cant stand not to cam whore myself =P group photo! and us =) and my fav photo of the day……….. i must stretch more!!!!!!!
oh oh btw.. received these from kong ping mun chun on cheerobics day which kong ping passed him a long time ago! so sweet of him them!! (wahahahaha happy bro? =P we haven exchanged the medals back!)
cheerobics is finally over congrats aces for clinching the champions again yay~ and team red for 1st runners up i didnt even cry when myself won the trophy years back i dunno why i did last night perhaps because there was a stunt fall and everyone was worried me lx yb mc holding each other’s hand throughout until the moment the result was announced everyone jumped up in joy well done everyone~ all teams did great wildcards did great too as such a new team i truly think that they did a fantastic job~ cheers for everyone~
after an exciting busy and tiring day i am back to work on monday boooo yeah no doubt i love my job but i totally dun feel like working today sick and tired with a sore throat =(
i dun understand why some ppl like to talk abt their sickness shouting across abt how sick and miserable they feel wanna get the whole world’s attention; when i am sick i just wanna keep quiet and rest maybe only getting attention from someone =P but he is at work too boooooooo i dun understand why a sick person can still have the energy to shout n stuff perhaps when i am sick i just want a quiet environment just to rest without any noise or distraction and thats what i cant have now and thats why i get irritated more easily and thats why i am so unhappy now and………. boooooooooooo!
cheers for everyone participating in cheerobics 2009!! cheers for for my aces juniors~ cheers for my wildcards babies~ cheers for my friends in spectrum, denvers, steppers cheers for the many more great teams out there! jiayou!
i dunno whats the point of helping you time and again and in the end guys are still more impt to you than the girl frens who have been by ur side in times of trouble is it really that u cant survive without guys? i dun wanna use that word on you cos i see you as a friend but why did you do that to me when u hate to receive it the most? a friend said you might be doing it unconsciously true enough unconsciously for so many times thru out the years doesnt sound any better guess girl friends stand no place in ur heart unconsciously too just disappointed that u haven changed abit after so long..
ok i might sound really agitated and stuff but i am alright haha i guess its the work stress thats getting me abit abnormal =P but i dun mind the stress at all rather than just slacking around happy-go-lucky i think i am finally like getting abit like everyone else being bothered by work stress n things like that need to push myself more need to stress myself a lil more i think i am too slow in picking things up i need to learn and do as much as i can within the time frame a year is really not long further more its not exactly a year its actually 8 months left and i round it up to a year just try la, ho? hehe
ok a more exciting note cheerobics is coming! so excited its gonna be the best cheerobics ever cos every time it will only get better hee looking forward to seeing all the teams showing their best skills cheering the crowd to cheer for them getting their names recognized in the cheer scene.. i will cheer for all teams for all of them have put in effort to prepare for this big day! lets hope everyone gives their best performance and get rewarded for something they deserved in the end =)
its the first year i am not competing feels strange haha miss the adrenaline rush miss the cheer from the crowd =P miss stunting
stay with people you feel obliged to or stay with people you feel comfortable with? the answer seems pretty clear but its not as easy as it seems still so many other factors to consider heck other factors la happy can already =P
first training (22 oct 2008): tried 3 assisted bhs at the end of visit to aces training didnt know how much to jump xp was using alot of strength but at least i overcame my phobia! xp felt that i need abt 3 months to do a good bhs that is if i train every week..
second training (1 nov 2008): tried bhs on my own after a few assisted ones managed to do it but i dun have much of a ‘feel’ to it to me, gymnastics is all about feeling without the ‘feel’ my bhs had been quite inconsistent but i promised myself i will train hard for a robhs
third training (8 nov 2008): feeling so tired and weak cos of menses but i was rarely so determined (ya i know..) so i still decided to try bhs after like an hour of warm up and i managed to ‘feel’ something! confirming that my bhs had been quite consistent at the end of the day i decided to go all out to try robhs not afraid of dying i managed to do a few okay ones but i still didnt get the feel and i would say i am still pretty scared to do it phobias are supposed to be overcame i will try harder next time!
you never know how scared i was to do a bhs i could do a robt but i didnt even dare to do an assisted bhs! phobia resulting from wrist and back injuries old and weak enough i was too afraid to break my bones again those who are close to me would have known.. and i know you are feeling so proud of me now! hehe
being scared is never the best way to solve problems injuries are inevitable in almost any kind of sports especially in sports like gymnastics and cheerleading being in both of the sports before i know how much trauma an injury could bring but at the end of the day being scared will bring you nowhere near your goal and it might even drag other people down if it is a team sports affecting everyone’s morale and spirit just hope that everyone can overcome whatever phobia you have be responsible to yourself be responsible to your teammates trust yourself and most importantly trust your teammates they are the ones who catch you when you fall
godmother - sheryl the 3 pathetic cheerleaders recipients on that day (as compared to large grp of dragonboaters) cheerleaders with dong~ food for ruth and yb and food for me and xp…..
requested by cr this gonna be a picture post specially dedicated for those who didnt make it to the flyer =P

(was too lazy to blog, just copied the whole chunk from wildcards blog =P)
i just cant stand it whining and whining and whining
i’m beginning to understand how u felt but i guess it wasnt so serious until to lose a fren for that maybe werent friends to begin with why do i even remember this?
no stunts for two months only stretching and gymnastics! i know i know jus yesterday i still was saying ‘yirong just wanna cheer cheer cheer’ but now yirong changed her mind dont ask me why
