We share the work,
We share the sweat,
And finally, we share the rewards
I am sure everyone of us will be rewarded in one way or another, be it in terms of achievements in the competitions, or simply the relationships you share =)

oh, and i just chanced upon the team singapore's motto which i think is very fitting for us...

hi all,
just looking at some of my old hall 13 cheerleading pictures (again)...think this picture was taken by titan poh weida (ex team slut) way back in our first HO...
alot of things has happened since then...ppl have come and go...yet, as kangjun said, spectrum has grown from strength to strength...my wish, and i believe many of the seniors who have left and will be leaving this year, is that spectrum continues to grow...not just as a competitive team, but a group of individuals bonded together by the enjoyment of cheerleading, not just for people, but more importantly, with the people we cheer with...
yesterday's performance at chinatown was a very heartening one...seeing the excitement of theresa as she gushed at goh chok tong clapping at her,or the happiness on veron's face, it left me with a good feeling that spectrum will be in safe and capable hands after this semester has ended...and like how the 1st generation of spectrum seniors has said, the juniors really outshined and exceeded expectations...for a first performance, they exuded confidence and showmanship that any cheerleader, new or old, can be proud of...
we have 2 more training days to HO...the worry is no more about stunts not hitting...in fact, we should expect ourselves to hit nothing less than an all stunts up coz we have shown that over the past few trainings, as well as the performance...the thing now is for all of us, seniors AND juniors, to be disciplined enough to go out there and execute what we have trained so hard to achieve. focus on what we have learned and practiced so far. not once should we feel we are good enough to slack off, to relax, to close one eye...coz that one time u slack, relax and close your eye might be the time someone, your team mate, your friend, gets hurt...
on a brighter note, im eagerly looking forward to get out there on 23rd jan!! maybe its more special coz its the last HO for myself...its been 2 years since my first HO and i still feel the rush of performing at the SRC...but the rush is some what different now...it used to be the rush when you knew you were the hot favourites, the certain arrogance and pride we had as a hall 13 cheerleading...but now, im just glad that we have a team like we have right now and i would want nothing more than to end off with performing with you guys, for those that have, are and will be cheering for us! jia you spectrum, let's rock SRC on 23rd jan!!!!! =)

Random rantings...
Hi all, just saw some quotes on a blog which i thought would be nice to share.
" Empires have to fall for the birth of a new, stronger one. Whenever you get a fresh start, you get more drive. Sometimes no matter how to tried to right a wrong, you thought that you are doing it for the good of the team, you will realise that no solutions is the best solution. Sometimes no matter how you try to solve your prob of your comp hanging, the best solution is still to press the restart button. "
If im not wrong this was posted by xingwei. I share his insight completely. Many of you doubted the survivabilty of the team when the seniors left last year. Many of you doubt we can continue next year. Yet we are still here fighting strong. The juniors have shown that they have what it takes to be a part of Spectrum. Have trust in them, trust yourselves. From the ashes rises the phoenix. You may not be as strong now but you will be stronger. You may not have numbers but you will have unity. You may no longer have guidance but you have each other.
And that is the true calling of Spectrum.
I like wikipedia's definition of the word Spectrum. I quote from wiki, "In most modern usages of spectrum there is a unifying theme between extremes at either end." We may all come from different places, but it is the team that brought us together. I thank God that I am able to meet people like Isaac, Regine, Delan, Edward, Wenfeng, Sirong, Congyan, Kahxian, Junhui, Jianning, Lawrence, Chuanyan, Sally and even Chaangru though Spectrum. The memories that I share with them is so precious no amount of money or winners medal can buy. And it is Spectrum that brought me and Weida, Eddie, David and Munhong closer. It is memories that I will look back fondly on everytime I think about Spectrum.
Spectrum is a team where we share our passion. We named ourselves Spectrum because we wanted to take in anyone with the passion for cheer. Along the way we may have forgotten our cause. We need not be winning to be a team. So even if next year or the year after that Spectrum might be left with only the 5 of you, the 5 of you still makes a team. And as long as there is 1 person left, the legacy of Spectrum can continue.
I remember telling someone this before. I coach because I wanna give to others what cheer gave to me. The team bonding that I've experienced is so great that I hope that others can feel the same way. When I coach I do it not so much for the money but in the hope that the kids can find the bonding that I found in cheer. If you feel the same way as me, won't you wanna pass it on to the next generation?
ok... i realised that its really random rantings.. coz i really dun haf any organised thoughts at all.. haha.. just typing whatever comes into my mind..
ANYWAYS, I am suggesting that we have a official get-together at least once every year for all members of Spectrum young and old. Since the name Spectrum started around during the last week of May, why not we celebrate Spectrum's birthday on the last Saturday of May every year? We can all meet up and talk about old times, like how we thought we were the best of the best during our first HO. HAHAHAHA. How bout it? And I suggest the EXCO tat year should be the one organising it. hahaha.. onz?
