so far in 3 days i've learned elevators, extensions and half a dance routine, which would have otherwise taken any professional cheerleading team at least 5 sessions for each. Ah such are the demands of time. i think we broke several world records along the way(if we didn't break our necks first). elevators bring the guy up to half the body length while extensions bring the guy above the head.
The downside to this is we have barely half the stability that is necessary for any 3 level pyramid stunt, so 'cher' took away the stunt involving me doing a split on the third level. The one with me standing on the third level is still up in the air though....
It all feels way too rushed. I have good and steady bases under me(the ppl who are supporting me and going to toss me in the future) so we advanced quite quickly, i wasn't supposed to be the main flyer at first, but the other groups are a few steps behind. So in the end we became the main group. That means at somepoint in time i'm prob gonna have to do a basketball toss. name speaks for itself.
True Story: There was a girl who fell twice during rehearsals. Now she has occasional memory loss. Shudders.
Still it gives me quite an adrenaline rush when u're high above up there and especially when u do the quaddle (?sp). Thats when u fall from whatever position your in onto the hands of the ppl below. Oh and i also have to do a ultra high risk maneuver that involves me putting my precious balls of steel at risk. which have been squashed twice already, but luckily not too badly. Theres still some fathers day spirit left in this wily old bird.
Oh and my thighs hurt like f**k. I can't rem the last time they hurt so badly, probably after 16 km route march.
In other news, my buddy wants to downgrade because he feels breathlessness after he runs. Like wtf? which CB doesn't feel breathless after running...he also made a medical appointment to see the National Skin Centre for acne, which doesn't look too bad to me( my sec 2 acne was far worse). And today he went to the A and E bcos he had 2 days fever which amazingly didn't go down after taking 2 days of antibiotics. WOW. Hes a nice guy and all but you know its people like this that makes me wonder why i didn't report sick when i had high fever in bmt before 8 km route march, when i had sinus prob during field camp, when i had blisters on both my legs during 16 km. Why i still continued to cheong swa after feeling like shit. When these ppl are just gonna run away from the battlefield. And yes in case your wondering technicians still have to cheong swa. We are soldiers before technicians. Sometimes i really wonder whether the stereotype of JC students being weaklings is really just a stereotype or not. Cos one of my bases is a poly student who after almost spraining his wrist in training, still urged me on to do the stunt one more time when his arms are feeling the strain much more than my thighs are. You know its the little life experiences like these that really influences the way we perceive people and not the things that we are told. For example i would rather much like to go to war with my current batch of mixed OETI ppl rather than my "direct enhanced" company. yes some of them are A.P like the malays, but as one of them told me, yes he got a.p, but he will always be there.
He will always be garang.
