Li Jing for his video on Alpha Verve and some of the highlights and acomplishments this season. Once again an amazing video done.




A video by Li Jing from Alpha Verve. Another first video from someone new to VoM. Li Jing I never knew you are so talented in this area too. I loved the effects used in the video. Alpha had come a long way this season, you all were not defeated when things do not go our way, but instead pick ourselves up and did it even better. Because of the ordeal, each an everyone of you became a better cheerleader. Really hope to see all of you stay together for the next session and build on what we achieve this year.

Li Jing you won yourself $50.

With this month's VoM, we have completed an entire year, the first full year since the introduction of VoM in April'10. A total of $718. had been given out so far. I promise the next year to be even greater. Come on guys what are you waiting for? Be part of the action and get paid to cheer.


P.S: To celebrate VoM 1st year anniversary next month, for VoM April'11, great prizes will be given out. Start posting your video now!!

And the winner for BPoM March goes to...

Stanley's Blog Post: Looking back on NTU Hall Olympiad Opening 2011

Nice post by Stanley on NTU HO. Cheerleading can help in character building and as long as we are still in it, we constantly learn something new, or discover something about ourselves. There are still many things to learn about cheerleading and together we will create a better future for cheerleading.

Comments by Chaang:

Stan writes with 4 years of experience from both NTU HO and external National level competitions. He has chose to touch on a very controversial topic on how rising cheerleading standards can be a double edged sword and has also pointed out on some areas that should be improved on by the organizers of this event.

Whist there are areas that Stan does not agree, he contributes ideas and alternatives which can improve the situation. I personally think that this is very crucial for cheerleading to grow in Singapore. For many years we have ''keyboard warriors'' who like to play people's suggestion down for their sole comfort and satisfaction. Stan braved such criticisms and handled objections in a professional and logical way. Most importantly, he is firm enough and took his own stand.

NTU HO remains as the biggest competition in our industry with 16 local teams competing within the same category. For cheerleading in Singapore to grow, we must continue to develop this crucial piece of the parcel as well.

Cheers,
Chaang"


Congratulations once again Stanley, and you will be hearing from us soon on how to receive your prize.


P.S: NTU HO was just over for less than a month, and Singapore National Cheerleading Competition (SNCC) is just around the corner. What an exciting year for cheerleading we had so far.

BPoM 4th entry for March

The 4th entry of BPOM March is by Winston and tagged by Hann Bin, for his post on Wildcards Blog, "The Final Lap ". Once again nice post at the last lap towards Nationals. It is during this time, when everyone is exhausted, tired and frustrated that we can all do with as much encouragement and motivation from each other as possible.

A quote to remember:

Successful people would fail more than the rest, but they keep trying, that is why they succeed.

We will all succeed one day as long as we never give up.

BPoM 3rd entry for March

The 3rd entry of BPOM March is by Hann Bin for his post, "WE ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS AND WE INTEND TO STAY THAT WAY!". This post by Hann Bin is very motivational, and discuss some of the ideas and methods that can help a team towards its final run in for the championship. Never blame each other, work together to find out the mistake, believe that you can hit the routine and stay positive.

A nice quote; "Tough times dont last, Tough men do"

So everyone stay focus in this final few weeks, do not let your efforts for a whole year go to waste, just because of a laspe in concentration at the last moment.

P.S: How you do anything is how you do everything

4th entry for March VoM

The 4th video entry for March VoM is a video posted by Felicia from Wildcards. It is a video of Wildcards peeps dancing around during training. I was considering for a while if I should include this video as an entry for VoM, and then I thought there is also a segment for dance in cheerleading, so this video sure qualifies for VoM as well. A very nice selection of music to go with the video too. Looking forward to seeing part 2.





P.S: This video comes along together with a BPoM entry too. Good example of trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

3rd entry for March VoM

The 3rd entry for March VoM is by Kerry. The video is shows some random footages of Astros during training. A very light hearted video that shows how training is like during Astros training, where we can seek improvements without the stresses of competition or the need to prove a point. Great video.

Test of faith and belief

It is these testing times that you get to understand yourself more; the parts of you that you never knew existed before till now.

It's going to be an amazing 3 weeks.
