its been a tough few trainings with the PM performance coming up...just wanna say a few things...
first and most importantly, take care of yourselves...can see that injuries are coming up here and there - from sprained ankles and wrists, to aching muscles and blue blacks, and even congyan's black eye...take of youselves, not just for the team for but also for ur own well being. this injuries can come back long after u leave spectrum and NTU...anyone who does sports will know this and u guys should as well, so do take care ya?
and as a team, watch out for each other...like delan says, after each incident, the ppl involve always feel like shit...and trust me it does...and YES, it might not involve u, but still, when it happens, it hurts so bad just to see ur team mate lying on the mats with their face contorted in pain...those in HO last year will know how it felt, to see yuxin having to be sent to hospital in the wee hours of the morning or hanlong popping his elbow back......it sucks.....it really does....i pray none of us have to suffer that this year.....all the injuries we see now are small but it just takes one major one to spoil everything....
encourage each other on...if u think this is tough, wait til the major events ie HO and Nationals....its not gonna get any easier...when u see ur team mates down, cheer them on and encourage them! give them tips if u can and if not, a simple smile, a pat on the back, a hand shake will do....these small gestures go a long way....we all cheerleaders after all, so let's start by cheering each other on at the very least....coz if we don't do that, i think we have failed, as cheerleaders, as team mates, as friends......
finally, i just wanna say this is a post in tribute to you guys...the people from last year's HO team and this year's spectrum team....we have come a long way, even for the juniors...i stayed in this team not for the passion for cheerleading like chaangru...i will state that honestly...i decided to stay on coz i had so many memories, euphoric and sad, and more important, coz of the ppl....and im proud to say im in cheerleading coz of these....and i hope that everyone attains some level of self satisfaction and pride from the things we learn and do, who we are, and the ppl we have come to know, work with, laugh and cry with....
keep up the good work guys....trainings have been tough but we have improved alot...a short 2 weeks to PM's performance so let's jia you yeah...alright, gotta turn in, 830 lesson tmr...sianz...take care ppl =)

came to this website tinking of posting an entry but i guess isaac beat me to it.. =) isaac said exactly wat i wanted to say and he couldn't haf said it any betta..
HO, nationals.. win or lose, its the journey tat matters.. we've all decided to stick on becoz of the people in the team.. at the end of the day, the medal counts for nothing.. its the memories tat stays.. its the fun & the tears tat we share tat bonds us together.. the hardship tat we go thru under chaangru and the fun tat we share during training and outside are memories tat i will bring wif me when i graduate..
everytime i tink of the time we spent together it nv fails to bring on a smile.. i hope tat when u guys think back next time when u are working, it'll be a memory tat will bring a smile on ur face.. like me..
i treasure every training tat we haf together.. becoz i know when i graduate in another half a yrs time i will no longer haf the luxury to spend time wif the team again.. i hope u guys cherish each other too.. cherish the limited time tat we haf wif each other..
it'll be hard when we hafta leave the team.. i tink i'll be very lost.. haha.. dunno how i'll feel also.. the best memories tat i haf in uni are the times tat we haf spent together.. and for that i wanna thank all of you.. thank you guys for making this journey one that i'll remember.. one that i'll treasure.. one that will bring a smile to my face everything i tink abt it.. thank you....
like your capt said, I am not interested in one bloody medal. Understanding the true value of cheer involves realising that one's level of responsibility is not solely restricted to just the individual, but towards the team as a whole. If we have lost because we were outclassed, fair enough. But losing because of your own complacency is unforgivable. We cheer not because we are paid. We cheer because we really LOVE the sport.It is the camaraderie and encouragement fueled by each other's prescence that pushes us on.
Learn to pick yourself up when you fall. Learn to smile and help each other to grow. Cheerleading is a team sport. we cannot afford to leave anybody behind. Not you. Not her. Not them.
It is easy to relinquish everything and just walk away.
But if you're willing to die to get stronger..
Tear that ticket for heaven and follow me to hell.
