Wildcards stunts fest and my thoughts

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

WILDCARDS FIRST EVER STUNT FEST WAS SO MUCH FUN SIA. I LEARNT SO MUCH STUFF AND ATTEMPTED STUFF I DONT DARE DO ON MY OWN =p WELL I GUESS ANALYZING HOW PEOPLE DO STUNTS IS ONE OF THE FEW FANTASTIC WAYS TO LEARN STUFF INSTEAD OF BY TRIAL AND ERROR.=)

Anyway i decided to review what i learnt at Wildcards first ever stunts fest lol.

1. i finally mastered the secrets and techniques on how to do a good straight toss ( supposed to be mastered like 2 months ago wait or was it 4 months but whatever can master can liao =p)

2. I learnt walk up to hands hehehehe and its easier than i thought lol...........

3. i finally did an extension???? actually Andra the superman helped me alot =.= sigh gotta train more get the muscles out

Just a little sidetrack==> KELWIN WHEN IS IT YOUR TURN SIA!!! WE STARTED LEARNING TOSS TO HAND AROUND THE SAME TIME LEH LOL AND YOUR LEG INJURED IS NOT AN EXCUSE SIA LOL

4. i got the gist of landing a backtuck nicely though i seriously freaked out when doing the tucks =.= i think its because i scared fall down zZZZzzz BUT THEN THANK YOU MRS KEONG (correct spelling or not ah??? lol) even though you may not see this but thank you for patiently teaching me backtuck =)

5. i learnt the correct method for backspotting a B-toss O.0 though its supposed to be like an "easy" job, i guess i will have to learn more on how to cushion better(ARGH!!!) MELVIN faster!! we got to learn how to cushion people better T.T

Something IMBA that i saw there lol though almost everyone was IMBA =.=

( WHEN IS IT MY TURN!!!!!!????!!!)

I am actually prepared to endure any hardships, suffer any physical torture, mental stress and emotional harm just to accomplish this feat one day but i cannot just train by myself the team needs to progress together sia if not i fly who?? my shoe ah?? or a life-size paper cut out of a flyer??????LOL

A SUPER LONG SIDE TRACK LOL PREPARE FOR MY IMBA SUPER LONG PISSED OFF WRITER MODE ATTACK LOL

A MINI DISCLAIMER NOTICE BEFORE YOU CARRY ON READING,
I AM JUST VOICING OUT THE THOUGHTS THAT I HAVE IN MY MIND AND KEPT IT WITHIN ME AFTER THE 5+MONTHS IN BLAZERS. AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE DRAFTS THAT I HAVE ON MY BLOG AND NEVER POSTED. I DECIDED TO LET IT ALL OUT AT ONCE BECAUSE ITS HARD TO KEEP IT INSIDE OF ME ANYMORE!!!!

LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR, I AM NOT SIDING ANYONE NEITHER AM I MAKING ANY PERSONAL ATTACKS NOR MAKE MYSELF THE DE-FACTO ALMIGHTY PERSON IN THE TEAM, I AM JUST STATING THE FACTS THAT I SEE AND MY OWN PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND FEELS. IF YOU AFTER CONTINUE READING AND HAVE A BURNING DESIRE TO EITHER BREAK MY HANDS, CHOP MY HEAD, MUTILATE MY BODY OR CONDEMN/OSTRACIZE ME I SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE MY ADVICE AND JUST IMMEDIATELY SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BEAUTIFUL BOLD BLACK WORDS WHICH READS

THE ENDING

AND CARRY ON READING FROM THERE OR IMMEDIATELY CLOSE YOUR BROWSER/GO TO ANOTHER WEBPAGE

ARE YOU READY?????

HERE IT GOES!!!!!

Well if i could say this out loud i believe this is what i would say to the team in a straight concise to the point no nonsense manner.( but i guess my balls too small to say it straight la lol )

" We are wasting our F***ing precious time "fighting" over the problems of the cliques, the teaching methods, the "biasness" against people blah blah blah. But what is the root of the problem?? Its all about us, the people in team on how we perceive the way things are done, what our seniors/juniors do or say, the culture of the team etc etc etc

If you ask me what i think about the seniors? i think they have done a bloody good job in teaching us the juniors from scratch, instead of leaving us in the lurch and start to progress and accomplish feats like the above by themselves and leaving us behind.

If you ask me about the juniors, i believe we also done a bloody good job in staying in Blazers for so long, some wonderful people like Wei Hoe and Su Hui will religiously come down for trainings even though we are still adjusting to the new lifestyle of poly. Good job to the rest who also come down for trainings almost everytime like me. However we must change the mindset of those people who normally skip training without a really valid reason.

Next question that i will ask and answer by myself is Why are they actually sacrificing their own "senior training time" to whip us into shape, drive us to work harder, in short care so much about us?? It is because they have long ago realize that a good team is one that progress together never leaving one of their own behind. Our seniors have experienced the feeling of being left behind by their own seniors and it seriously left a deep impact on them. I believed that is what drives them to not let that happen to us. so we juniors must work hard eh.

Well about the part of cliques, well generally cliques are ok, There are teams where cliques are evident but then they bond as a team more than teams that dont have cliques why?? Obviously there will be some people that you can just talk to very easily and some that you dont, but bo bian you need to at least mingle around with everyone seriously. get outta your comfort zone dont just stick to your group. scary people on the mats are not as scary as they seem off the mats, seriously. If you always stick to your own group this is what will happen---> some people avoid certain members of the team When people ask the entire team to go out or eat together only the clique that the person asking will follow.

Now this is really a unique phenomenon that i see and really wonder about, it is about why people pre plan events or outings with others when they jolly well know that they have a Blazers training/event/outing on that day?? i guess it all boils down to the individual commitment, love to the team and the sport itself. I myself am willing to sacrifice a lot of things just to come for Blazers trainings, outings or events. Want me to name a few?? Sleep, Money, relationship with my own outside friends and course-mates, soon i think it will be the quality family time that i always spend with my family. How committed are you towards the team??

Seriously this is what i think, to put it bluntly: YOU CANT HAVE THE FKING BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, ITS EITHER ONE OF IT. i chose mine and i am proud to say it is Blazers, you can ask my course mates, fellow studies club members, I am cheerleading crazy, i practice my jumps and roundoffs in the interaction room of my school building and the library. I analyze youtube videos of Cheer teams during my lectures (P.S my lectures boring la but thats not the point, the point is that i analyze cheer vids then other vids lol). Even my parents are asking me to quit cheerleading, why?? the little minor painful injuries i suffer, the time i get home and sleep, the money that i spend on gym equipment for home use most importanly the time i spend with them are getting lesser and lesser. However this is something for you to choose not me, BUT...... i believe those who are still in the team now, MOSTLY have made all of these sacrifices already, ONE TO THE EXTENT OF DIETING AND ON THE VERGE OF BEING CLASSIFIED ANEROXIC JUST TO BE A FLYER OK=.= (I STUDIED F&N FOR 2 YEARS IN SEC SCH AND I FINALLY SEE ONE REAL LIFE CASE OF AN ANEROXIC PERSON LOL!!!)

Lastly the part on change. well the seniors have change change change change change change and changed the way they do things many times but then......... maybe we dint change enough in time to follow the seniors changes and show appreciation to the changes that they made. But firstly, lets start by changing our mindset of the scoldings that the seniors give during training, its GODDAMM, MoFKing childish to resent the scoldings the seniors give OK!!! Please grow up, they scold for a reason, if you resent the scolding and give a stupid "i don't wanna learn from you" attitude, seriously.... YOU might as well quit the team=.= cause you will never want to care about the good advice given to help improve your techniques thus slowing the learning of your partner/stunt group mates down. Seniors who are by any chance reading this post, please give us the juniors more time to change as i guess attitude adjustments cant be made overnight or settled in a week or two.

To end this "essay" i would say:

YES PEOPLE, IT TAKES TIME TO CHANGE BUT LETS DO THIS TOGETHER OK =) SENIORS AND JUNIORS DON'T GIVE UP, CAUSE WE ALL SACRIFICED TOO MUCH ALREADY MIGHT AS WELL MAKE OUR SACRIFICES WORTH AND BRING BLAZERS TO NEW HEIGHTS!!!!! WOOHOO=)

I SERIOUSLY WONDER AND HOPE WHETHER THE TEAM WILL BE LIKE THIS AGAIN

OR JUST BECOME LIKE THIS

I SERIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO SEE BLAZERS TO SUDDENLY BECOME LIKE THAT, IT WILL BE TOO SCARY IF THAT HAPPENS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO=/

ANYWAY GOOD JOB FOR SURVIVING THIS FAR CAUSE ITS THE END!!!!! YEAH SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR THE ENDING =)

THE ENDING!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!! The Ending of my short/super long post
(depending on where you read la lol)

ANYWAY.........

LETS ALL WORK HARD TO ACHIEVE THE IMBA FEAT ON THE PHOTO NO MATTER WHO IS READING THIS POST EVEN NON CHEERLEADERS CAN USE THIS AS A EXAMPLE OF WHAT HARDWORK AND EFFORT CAN ACCOMPLISH=)

WELL, let me end with a quote from Larry though i paraphrased it a little and omitted a few words =p.

"Even though you learn things slower than others, once you get it, you will never lose it"
