Lets welcome 2010

Its good to end 2009 with a bang. Clinching 3rd position at the World's and having the special someone celebrating it with me. I am pretty lazy to blog about Bremen, but my other half did a splendid write-up here

Yes, I didn't meet my goals set earlier this year, in fact by quite a far margin. But this year has been very fruitful and meaningful. Recap:

1) Cheerobics 2009
2) Fishing trip to spratlys
3) Holiday/Training trip to Taiwan
4) CWC'09 at Bremen Germany
and for memories sake, presenting to you: Team Singapore CWC'09 Bremen Germany.



I am so looking forward to 2010, with many more good things which lie ahead. I have lots more to learn, the learning journey is never complete be it in cheer, work or personal life. But I am determined to make it all work, whatever it takes. I will not allow anything to deter me from what I want.

Lets bid farewell to a eventful 2009, and welcome 2010 with open arms.

The time has arrived

I just had to blog this down no matter how busy I am.

3rd December is the day to remember.

In complete irony of the previous post, the time has arrived.

May it only get better from now on.

Has the time arrived?

Its been a while. My body seems to tell me its high time i put a full stop to my cheerlead career. Or at least till I regain full functionality of my knees. I cannot afford to injure myself and put my job at risk.

祝我生日快乐

27 years....



It only meant to be better from now on.

Taiwan!

Greetings from Taiwan!!! Its been a super tiring day at training today(1.30pm to 10pm). When was the last time I trained for so long?

X-Wonders with yu-an(Monster flyer-to-be)


Si Sheng Tang (The 4 God's Soup??)


Some damn nice maggie mee. Trust me


The Monsters sent us back in their scooters. A ride down Taipei city at night. How nice of them


Xuewei and Xiong Ge.


I guess its getting near. Wait and behold. Rewind.

Its a small world

The local cheer community is still growing. But what really makes you stand out from everyone else? Being able to do a pop-over/ticktock/toss cupie? I seriously doubt so.

Then, how to make yourself stand out from the rest?

Let this be the beginning - MDK Devils

Thanks to xw,zm for being thigh stands, wc for supporting the 'tree' and the spotters!

Whose Shoes?

Its always good to place yourself in the other party's shoes before you comment or decide. Else, somebody is gonna get hurt real bad.

I have no idea what subject this is

I guess I can finally find time to "update" my blog, with the last post being on Feb 13. I think there are readers out there who might have thought," Oh, that blog is dead".

Preparations for Cheerobics Partner Stunts category began last year in July. Though we clinch top position, RnA still felt that we didn't perform well enough, its just against ourselves that we did not all stunts up. We felt that we didn't win it with resoundingly. Anyways, Cheerobics 2009 seemsed to end as fast as it started.

For memories sake, presenting to you, RnA Bulldogs:



All these while, I wanna give my heartfelt thanks to X-wonders for their inspiration and motivation to train hard. Also thanks to Ruth, for tolerating my stupid requests and complains about being tired. Its really not easy to juggle work and trainings, but if cheerleading is your passion, do not let ANYTHING stop you from progressing.

Also thanks to all RnA supporters on that day, there's too many to name but really. THANKS!

To all budding partner stunters, in my honest opinion, the partner stunts level in S'pore is still very low in standard. We still need to continue to work hard on our strength and techniques. I am looking forward to Cheerobics 2010. I really wonder what new stunts I can see next year.

A week after cheerobics ended, I embarked on a 9 day fishing trip to Spratlys. For those still wondering where spratlys is :



Its a whooping 22hrs boat ride from the town of Kota Kinabalu. Where most travellers go there to conquer Mt. Kinabalu, my team of fishos were there for the ultimate fishing experience. 7 days on board, slept a total of less than 20hrs, bathe 2 times(haha), but heck, you get dirty immediately after you bathe, so?

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Let the pics do the talking.

My pride : 14kg Giant Trevally. I almost hyper-ventilate while fighting this fish.


Fighting and suffering...


The Reward - 20+kg Escolar.


The scenary.


The equipment - Hooks as big as your palm


Biggest catch on board - Estimated 140kg white tip(not caught by me :( )


My fave T-shirt and wordings! haha


Team Spratlys


Ever since I am back, its work, work and nothing but work. The next big thing coming up. Taiwan. The need to progress further in cheerleading. Will provide updates when I am back on the 29 June.

Will you?

Watch this. Whatever your problems are, is nothing compared to his.

I need to breathe...

Last post was 4 Jan. If kw had not reminded me that my blog was growing cobwebs, I guessed I would have forgotten about it. It has been so busy since the start of 2009, i hardly have time to breathe. But I like it this way, just to be busy with the things i enjoy doing(other than WORK).

January was eventful. XWs, ruth and me were preparing Hall 4 for their HO. Although we did not obtain a very good position, I am very proud of their achievement and spirit. Memories shall linger for a long time, for I still can remember the very first time I performed in HO(thats 5 years ago already). Hall 4, I look forward to the day you guys will be crowned as HO champions. Till then, the legacy of "4on3" should never die.(The least I hope...haha)

Cheerobics 2009 is up next. First ever Partner Stunts Category. Relentless training despite my daunting knee and back injury, which never seem to recover but worsen. Endure. We can do it!

2009

2008 just whisked passed in a glance. In this extremely short year which I felt, I have gained and lost much, learn and felt much, most of all, treasure what are the few things that are most important to me.

In the year which I will turn 27, I shall no longer be what I was when I was 26.

2009, a new leaf emerge.

Believe.
