#099: To get away, to feel again.
Hello.
School officially starts a few minutes' ago (boohoo) and right now, I'm at my hall room at King Edward VII, spending my first night away from my family. It's at level 7 and there's no lift at all (there's lift at KR tho :'(), currently hoping that I can survive the months of 7 flights of stairs daily. I'm still thinking of what hall CCAs to join and what NUS CCAs to join. One is within hall while the other is university-wide, and I'm considering cheer, dance and possibly NUSSO if they are still having intakes T.T
Speaking of cheer and dance, SDE RAG '13 IS A MAJOR SUCCESS OMG :') SDE, together with KR/Sheares, Biz and Sci, won gold yayyy :D This is considered a miracle, given that all the dancers are freshies and with most having little to no background in dancing, as compared to other faculties and halls which held auditions for rag dancers, and that we're only proven to be rag ready just the night before, AND we only started to have completed full runs, with cheer and everything just few days before rag, like 3-4 days. And that's just the dancers, the floaters spent days and nights (like staying overnight at SDE) chionging their float, which was only 1/3 done with like 2-3 days left, yet they managed to complete it. And the costumes team, editing the costumes after each full run with costumes, and helping with last minute emergencies, like when my ribbon at the back came off on one side just 1-2 hours before our perf omg hahaha. Just very proud of us hehe we went golden bitches!!:')))

My dolphin stunt with Yen Wei :'))) (i'm on the right!!)
FINALE SCENEEE :'D
I almost cause this perf to be one of my many regrets in life; I almost didn't make it in the finale scene. My stunt was simple, just a shoulderstand on Joo Tat, with Jor Din as my backspot and Isabel as my frontstop, a stunt I can do 9 out of 10 times, the one exception would be if I slip, and of all things, I did. I tried to get up again and eventually did, thank god for the double 8 counts, otherwise I can't face the rest, especially the two extension liberty flyers, Yen Wei and Adrienne at the sides, or Marilyn, the other shoulderstand flyer, or Gabriel and Wei Ting, our cheer instructors. :') So glad to achieve an ASU (all stunts up), which we only ever achieved once in our full runs, and with the b-tosses at the exact timings, and the two dolphins at the same timings, I think our perf is the best among all our full runs. :')
Awesome SDE cheerios <3 (excluding Gabs who's prepping for his Alpha Verve Cheerleading perf!! :() (my pose ruins this pic MEH)
Alright, shall sleep soon, here's to a wonderful school year ahead.
xo.
