cheer 05...

wow...yesterday was a day filled with sadness n happiness. i don't think i have ever cried and laughed in the same day. we had such high hopes but ended up disappointed. we honestly thot we were gonna win best newcomer. at the beginning of the day we were so nervous because it was the first time we were performing. when they announced on saturday that we were in the top 15, we were ecstatic. i honestly didn't expect to be in the top 15. i guess winning isn't everything. but, the rest better watch out cos Hollaback is comin back full force next year...
the bus ride home was kinda sad. evry1 kept crying and blaming themselves 4 the lost. i only started to cry after seeing evry1 cry. i wouldn't have cried if the rest didn't cry. it was such an emotional day yesterday. even our friend's who weren't in the cheer team cried after seeing us cry. i guess all of us couldn't hold back the tears. not evry1 cried though. there some strong ones in the team who didn't shed a single tear. luckily when we arrived at skool, we didnt cry anymore. we actually started to be ourselves again. we took pictures and laughed and danced to the song from madagascar- 'i like to move it, move it'. i think we were drunk after crying cos we made so much noise when we walked to shakey's. we sang all the way and cheered. that was one of the most memorable days of my life. we were lucky no one came out from their house and throwed food at us. i can't imagine wat we would do if we won best newcomer. we would probably wake the whole neighbourhood up. we celebrated karine and jo-lyn's birthday at shakey's which was fun. we had a birthday cake which no one ate cos we were so full. i don't think we were full cos we ate too much, i think we were full cos we laughed too much.
seriously, i m very proud of hollaback's achievements. we started out as nothings. when we had our first practice, we didn't have a squad name. we actually practiced in the playground. i knew nothing about cheerleading when i first started to join. i guess i should thank flo 4 introducing me to cheerleading cos she started bugging me to join since last year. i finally agreed to join her this year and i have never looked back since then. even though we didn't win anything in the competition, i gained alot. i have more friends now and i gained alot of valuable experiences from it all. oh, i also go to take pictures with jien, joey g and amber chia and managed to get joey g's autograph. hahaha.....oh, yeah....cheerleading rawks!!! Hollaback RAWKS!!
