What have you done today?

First and foremost, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Yesterday was the last paper for many NTU students, including me. The end of the final paper marks the start for something. I looked back in my past 22 years of life and i don't really recall when was the last time I really really work hard for something.

Back in the army days, I managed to achieve a IPPT Gold through peer pressure and fear. Fear that if I did not get the IPPT Gold, I will have to suffer more intensive training while others are playing soccer in the field. Fear that I will not be able to fit into the crowd if everyone around you is doing so much better and you are just not performing up to the standard.

I still remember to at the start of the semester, I set some targets that I would want to achieve by HO. I still can remember what I said :

1) Standing Backtuck
2) Toss to Hands

So this time round, I will not let fear be the pushing factor that keep me going. I myself will push myself to achieve what I want. No Pain No Gain. But i changed my goal a little ^_^

1) Round Off Backhand Spring
2) Toss to Hands
3) Standing Backtuck (Still want but after i achieve (1) 1st)

So what have I done today?

1) Around 4km Run
2) 20 minutes of stretching
3) 3 Sets of Static exercise including
i) 6 chip up
ii) 20 leg raise
iii) 20 push ups
iv) 20 crunches

What Have You Done Today!? Lets work hard together for HO!

Spectrum goes Standard Chartered!


hmm, I know I am a little behind time for this post, but I was having my exams (though I still ended early than some of you guys here...) Well 5 days before my first exam paper, ten of us from team spectrum went to cheer the runners on for the Standard Chartered Marathon 2010! More photos can be found on the Team Spectrum Facebook website. :)







Cheering for the runners at before sunrise, improvising with the props provided. :)














Supporting our hall/ team members (Jerome and Suelin) who went for the run!





Cheering for about 4-5 hours is definitely new to many of us instead of a 3 minute routine... Unfortunately there are no photos of stunting cos usually I am the one stunting.












Post-event, the guys lifting the Singapore Flyer. WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!












Special thanks goes to Phei San for her supervision, Jianing for her super high MVP performance that day and Veron for her guest appearance and doing the routine. Also a big thank you for the rest, youjin, matthew, weekeat, dajun, nabil and chengyee. Hope this event will boost our spirit of cheering to a greater level for HO!!!!!

SIGNS OF CHEERLEADERS

While reading my lecture notes, I came across this autism picture. After taking a closer look, I realise I actually can relate to some of them. Lol!!

Tweaked the picture a little to put into cheer context. I think it could look cute on the back of a t-shirt.




Happy studying my dears! GOFIGHTWIN :)
