Cheering to Victory.

Jamie the cheerleader?



LoL well, somehow people always say I look like a cheerleader. I look like an athelete. I look like this, I look like that. I always look like what I'm not! LoL. Anyhow, the student body of my uni actually organized a PIDC Cup a.k.a Sports Day with all sorts of..hmm..rather unique games such as chess, carom, badminton, basketball, soccer (people don't exactly have badminton/basketball/soccer for sports day, do they?) etc. The common one is track event (with 10 x 100m which I've not heard of, but pretty interesting I'd say). Well we do not have stuff like high jump, long jump, shot pult etc. because of the short of facilities over here.




So, it's compulsory for all team members to join cheerleading which only means...guys with pom poms? Haha I know, I know, there are guy teams in the national cheerleading competition but it's probably not a common thing for male dentistry students to be in cheerleading. Could you imagine a bunch of studious people jumping around with their pom poms? Haha well, i definitely could, because we actually did it!








After class on Sat, all the Red Demons (my team *wink*) gathered to blow balloons (super tiring/painful=S) to decorate our "Secret Weapon" which the seniors made with much effort, sleepless nights and sacrificed study time. It was a surprise to all of us as we knew not about it till the day of the cheerleading comp itself. I'm truly impressed, so is everyone i'm sure.=)

Our secret weapon. ;)

The guy in white lab coat (Arthur) is our cheer captain. He's an amazingly good dancer. A very nice & patient captain as well.

Ming. Roselyn. Me!

And finally, it was time to compete. We did our best just for Arthur because we knew how upset he was when he saw how unsynchronized we were just 2 hours before the comp. During the actual thing, we cheered as loudly as we could. We made sure we remember every step. We stayed focus. We smiled. We did almost everything Arthur wanted us to do...and yet we somehow did not expect to win. However, I guess all our effort was paid off when we were announced as the cute yet devilish champion. =)

Joanne was the cheer caption for Blue. She did a wonderful job there ;)

"You look like a potential runner".
That's what my team president always said when he tried to persuade me into joining the track events. Well he basically said that to everyone. LoL. However, out of love for the team, I decided not to run because I would OBVIOUSLY lose.

Well, I successfully escaped running, but I was convinced into taking part in chess instead.
"Are you sure there's noone better who could play chess?"
"YES!"

So I reluctantly represented my team with 3 other players.
The first match was HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!





I was in despair till the extent where I never wanted to play chess ever again. (You have no idea how terribly I lost!) But guess what? After about an hour of whining and grieving at one corner, I was told that red team made it to the finals and I have to play another round. I nearly got a heart attack! I thought it was just plain cruel for another round of chess when I hadn't even recovered from my misery.=( I was begging to be replaced by someone. Anyone. But that wasn't an option. So with much self pity I TRIED to "enjoy" the game.


Alright, it wasn't so bad after all. Time passed lightning fast and before we (my opponent and I) knew it, there were only 2 mins left. I won by eating an extra piece when time was up, so there we go, Red Demons as the CHAMPION. WooHoo!

The credit must go to my chess idol though...

This was taken after we emerged as champions!
It was past midnight when the tournament was finally over.=S

He was training me a couple of hours before the tournament. He's darn good, won all of the games that night. I'd say he's a pretty nice guy though he claims that he's mean. (To Wye Lunn: Alright, don't start perasan-ing after this.)



The PIDC Cup is going smoothly so far and honestly I'm amazed with how well the opening ceremony turned out to be with all the fire crackers and senior performances.

A big thank you to the seniors who made this sports day happen ;)


GOOOOOOOO RED!
