GOOD JOB BLAZERS. coach's tears of joy was much much much more than the trophys & medals.
i've done my part. no regrets(:
this might be the one of the longest entry?
firstly, of course, thank you coach for everything. imagine yourself having to work in a company which has a competitive environment? that's enough stress already. but without fail, she comes down for 90% of our trainings. even when she didnt, we felt her presence, as she will ask about our progress. & when we had trainings everyday, nevertheless, she was there. imagine the chereographing, the types of stunts, the tumblings, the jumps. she knows our standard completely. where can you find one coach where she still talks about the progress even having supper? & when we tell her to relax, her reply will be "bu ke yi (cannot). mei you shi jian(no time). no time to discuss with you all. " & when she said that to me one day when i told her to relax, i didnt know what to reply her. frankly speaking, i was totally astounded. i started to think about the things she could do during her breaktime? chereographing our steps, listening to music, selecting songs, thinking about stunts and everything. that's alot ok. i still remember once when we had this talk, when huimin said she wanted to leave. some of what was said affected me quite a lot. the things coach said made many of us hold back onto our tears. "in singapore, i have no family. you are like a family to me." dont ever make her life difficult anymore. cultures of singapore and japan is somewhat different. they need alot of respect and politeness. be grateful & show appreciation. <3
2ndly, thank you seniors. they have sacrificed extra time to correct us, & even came out with a camp to make us feel that we were strong. we could coach shuhong's students(: . & & &, remember the time where we came up with a routine in just 2 days? my group won lar. :p but ya, it created a sturdy bonding. come to think of that, i feel that we're quite a bothersome & difficult bunch of juniors? imagine the number of seniors handling the number of us. :/ so please agree that they did more than an excellent job in managing & bringing us up in blazers.
3rdly, supporters from everywhere. everybody's friends, family members; whoever that supports blazers, i guess we wouldnt be able to continue this without you all. personally, i feel that they make quite a large impact on cheerleaders cos we cheerleaders need alot of courage to do stuffs. be it, stunts, bases, flyers spotters. all of us are at risk. we can get injured just by a fall. & without their support, telling me "it's ok", "everything will be fine", "your head will be ok and you can go back soon", "it was impressive", i'm not sure if i would continue.
i have to admit that my head still hurts even after that 2 days of rest. i was still on painkillers. but i wanted to get back there. people were telling me that i could do it. but nationals was a week away so how could i "do it" when i'm not training & leaving the rest to train like hell.
my wrist hurts everytime with just a cartwheel? & sadly, i twisted my ankle on full dress rehersal day. :/ & why did i still manage to do all those that i've did? it was solely because i wanted to prove that i really can do it. i didnt want to dissappoint any of those who said that i can do it. everything paid off. though there wasnt anything for the group category, i feel proud of myself, proud of the team. we dealt with all the changes. i put in everything i'd got & have no regrets. NO REGRETS at all. cy, lynna, felicia, huting, thanks for making the group interesting(: stop thinking about the fall & saying "my fault". accidents happen. & it was totally unexpected when this was almost always up. take it as an experience & we can now gauge the rest to do better next year((:
it's the PROCESS, remember? enjoy<3
the team category was extremely perfect. even better than the rehearsals. the best one i'd seen; from the bottom of my heart. my eyes went wet when doing the last pyramid. i was praying hard for the reload-extention to be up for both faezah & joy. & it did. & faezah's basket-toss was so pretty. & when it was done, i was screaming mad. ok, i was yelling uncontrollably throughout but i'm very sure it went even wilder when it ended. immediately, i turned around asked jenny if she wants to go down, & we ran down. yes, we RAN. the first thing that comes to my mind was 'hug joy & say great job', in the end, the first one was done, & instead of saying great job, "dont cry leh, you're making me tear too." :/ many eyes were red. tears of joy. this is the first time i'm experiencing this. i'm not in there but i'd see them work hard. everybody was working real hard. aches, injuries, you name it, we've got it. this time, it was not heart breaking to see coach's tears. it felt way too awesome. :x
enough of those. i wanted to recap the fairing of the team category. but my tiredness is killing me. i only remember that ntu seized 1st & 3rd. so, dont ask me about the rest, i guess i'll forget tml by the time i way up.
i'm gonna train my abs. i'm jealous of the other teams with pacs): LOL. i dont want coach to draw for me. anybody want to join? hah.
THANK YOU derrick & lijia, zuoxin & gang, benjaminngghinseng :p, mummy, aunty margaret & uncle jean claude who came down to support me.
i'd asked those who i had previously asked before to come, not to come. & if they're coming, DO NOT TELL ME. some called, & i'm smart enough to not touch my phone before my group started. :p oh oh, did i mention that my mama is interested in cheerleading now. she watched the whole cheerobics can. she recognises the different teams too. hah!
look at the time. i've yet to bath. still in uniform. :/ BYE.
