The 4th entry for June VoM is by Fairul again. This is Team Lions group stunt performance at CAIO 2012 which clinched us our first Gold medal at CAIO. A huge round of applause to them. In my opinion, overall this batch of Team Lions put up the best showing in CAIO so far. Everyone in Singapore got our part to play to ensure cheerleading in Singapore will continue to grow and prosper. Jiayou everyone.

A video by Fairul again for our 3rd entry for June VoM. Another video on Team Lions performance at CAIO 2012. This time it is the partner stunt category, represented by Weihan and Vinnie. Superb job by the couple, considering the injury Vinnie suffered in the last week. They even tweaked their routine for the 2nd day to score even better. The cupie lib tick tock pop over was simply jaw dropping. Jiayou guys and hope to see you all for the next partner stunt competition.

2nd entry for June VoM is by Fairul. This is a video of the team routine by Singapore Team Lions performing at CAIO 2012. Team Lions definitely did very well this year, going out with a pool of fresh new faces, and putting up an excellent team performance. What was realy amazing again was that there had to be a change in the routine in the last few days of training, with a flyer getting injured. With their strong pool of talent in this team, they managed to pull it off once again.

Team Lions went out there for the win this time round and did us Singaporean cheerleaders proud, clinching the 1st runner up position after a strong Taiwanese team. This batch of team lions is really young and very promising, with the oldest player at only 22 and majority of the rest not even in their 20s yet. Great job once again by FCS, the huge effort put in by the president Ong Wei Cheng, his coach Luo Zhaoming, his committee, the team managers and all the support from the various teams in Singapore.

For BPoM May we have 2 entries and they are:

1. Blogged by Ochi
2. Blogged by Elvina

The winner for BPoM May'12 goes to the entry by Elvina. Congratulations Elvina, you have won yourself the prize of $50.

Elvina's Blog Post

Comments by Chaang:

Perhaps one of the most crucial things in life is knowing that you have put in 100% effort in something you truly believe in. This is very important because excuses are often things created by those who fear their own inadequacy.

The one very important thing I derived from Elvina's post is: every cheerleader has a limited time frame in this sport. Regardless of how passionate you are about cheer, eventually you will be ''done, dusted and time to move on'' due to various reasons (work, family, relationships.. etc).

As such, it is instrumental that all of us learn how to cherish the here and now. We cannot change the past, neither can we predict the future but we must definitely take ownership of what is present to truly make a difference. Blame no one. Expect nothing. Do something.

PS: On a personal note, I still feel that KR is the better team for Season 2011/2012.

The 5th video entry for May VoM is by Danny Jumari and tagged by Jay. This is a video of the performance put up by NYP Grizzlers Cheerleading Team for NYP Club Crawl. Grizzlers had impressed me many times in their short span of formation of less than a year. I have seen previous videos of their camps and some performances and I can really see them improving as they moved along. Great job by their coaches Fairul and Jay too, you guys really brought lots of joy and value to the cheerleading community in Singapore.

2nd Blog Post of the Month May is a post by Elvie Na. This is a post about her experiences and thoughts on SNCC 2012.

Some words from the Elvie Na:

"still, it the process that counts. and honestly, i really love this team alot, loved all that we've been through. i love this routine because it gave me many opportunities and challenged me a lot. i am proud of what we've accomplished. deep down in our hearts, we know what we really deserved, the spirit of champions.
i wouldn't want any other team but kr steppers.
it's been an awesome and remarkable journey, whether this is my closing chapter or not, at least i know, that we made it this far. i've made it this far.
:)" - Elvie Na

Everyone is a winner in their own rights. To have the blessing to be able to stand on the blue mats amd perform your routine for 2.30mins is already to me the most wonderful moment of one's life. My 2.30 mins had so far been the most memorable 2.30mins of my life so far that I could still remember.

BPoM 1st entry for May'12

noreply@blogger.com (*star*) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 08:10:00 +0000

The 1st entry of BPOM May is by Ochi. In this post Ochi is discussing about Pareto's Principle aka as the 80/20 rule. Ochi's aim is whereby we can all create a 100/200 rule, whereby 100% of your organization generates more than 200% of your output.

A little abstract from the post.

"The wisdom of chop sticks say that if you guys stick together, its hard to be broken. As we have seen or know, a bunch of chopsticks all made of wood would still be far stronger than a bunch of chopsticks comprised of gold, stone and wood. Why is that so, because a structure of different densities is definitely weaker than a structure that is homogeneous." - Ochi

A video by Zhaoming for our 3rd entry for May VoM. Zhaoming, current coach of NP and SMU cheerleading and also the coach of Team Lions (CAIO 2012). A awesome player himself and then becoming a even greater coach to impart all his experiences, knowledge and techniques to the new generation of cheerleaders. Great video taken of the double toe touch 1-1-1 which Magnum did during SNCC 2012 which left many people mouths wide open. You think possible to do triple next year? hmm. lol.

2nd entry for May VoM is by Kahau. Another 1 of my favorite cheerleader out there. Toss cupie, full around,liberty tick tock low high. I first met Kahau almost 5-6 years ago, say short time but also not so short, and he told me his dream back then; and currently he is definitely living his dreams and much more. Kahau is another great example of never giving up and working hard for your dreams. I cannot wait to see your partner stunt routine in Nationals 2013. Jiayou, I will be your supporter.

The 1st entry for May VoM is by Clement from Wildcards. Toss to extension, hands left cupie, pop over with Joline. This might be quite a common stunt nowadays, but you have to look back to where Clement came from to realise how amazing this achievement is not only to him and also to the whole cheer community. Clement used to be small sized and not at all the strongest around; but he now showed everyone that with hard work, gyming almost everyday, you can still change everything around. Clement had really showed to the whole cheer community in Singapore that size does not matter but heart does. As long as you have the heart, anything is achievable. Jiayou Clement, you will achieve so much more in future, and you must always remember where you came from and how you started cheerleading. Cheers

The winner for BPoM Apr'12 goes to the entry by Matthew titled,"After thoughts from SNCC 2012". Congratulations Matthew, you have won yourself the prize of $50.

Matthew's Blog Post: After thoughts from SNCC 2012

Comments by Chaang:

As Mathew has rightfully pointed out,

Cheerleading requires you to reach the level that you depend on your teammates with your life.

''You entrust your safety in them, have complete faith in them, and depend on them to bring back the trophy with you. I have not seen any other sport that compensates your other players in order to move the team forward. ''

I define compensation as a form of sacrifice. Be it your safety for the sake of others' or your time that could have been otherwise spent with your loved ones, - cheerleading is a sport that requires such compensation in order for EVERYONE to move forward.

It is important, however, to understand that you should not be compensating in the form of wrong techniques. For example, you choose to muscle a flyer upwards because she is not jumping. Or a flyer chooses to execute her twist earlier because her bases are not giving her sufficient pop. This is a wrong form of compensation.

The chain is only as strong as the weakest link. When the situation allows, we may compensate time/effort to strengthen this weakest link. When time is running short, however, compensation is no longer possible and the team themselves must decide if they want to take a risk with the weakest link, or have the weakest link replaced with a stronger one. There is no right or wrong answer. There is only a desired or undesired outcome to the decision that you have made!
