Delta, and the Top Dragons!

my time has freed up a lot now, and now i actually have the time to sleep and catch up on work (though i cant say i exactly have). Reason being, i have completed my 2 major events this term, and had an additional small event which just happened on friday.

in my last post i already spoke about Mardi Gras, and was like /"one down, one to go!"/. then the next big thing was cheerleading and then the small project which followed was emcee-ing for Delta House Function: Charme Enchanteur.

Cheerleading is and has been one of the best expereinces of my life, so far at least. Last year it was a pity after the accident, and it was too bad i couldnt be part of the victory of Delta house, but this year i think it was so much better! We may not have won, but unlike last year, i think many of us felt a closer bond than last year. haha, it was great seeing the posts some people had on their blogs, like ZZ, zhi zhong, it was like we had grown so comfortable with each other, that once cheerleading ended, it waw little like cold turkey going back into our normal routine of things. I guess that we really miss each other now, but also we are all so busy with our own things that we barely have time to meet, even for another outing!

Truthfully, cheerleading made my entire term 2 good. without it, i think i would not have been able to hold a lot of things together. i remember that it was kinda a dip for this year's term one, but once i had cheerleading to not only occupy me, but also a place that i could chill and be comfortable, i felt better, and the trust that we had to build with each other will last forever more. We may not have won, but actually it doesnt bother me much. i dont even think about it. im more sparked by the times that we trained till late, and the sitting around half chatting about cheerleading, but also half sharing our lives, and letting each other into each others' lives. a flier has to trust his/her bases and backspot, the bases trust the backspot to catch the flier if the bases falter, and the flier to push him/herself up when they go into double base, and the backspot trusts the flier and bases to work well, to make sure he/she does not get hurt. that trust that we formed as an element, as a squad, and together as a team, it carried on to other parts of our life, and i can safely say that i would trusts the cheerleaders with many things in my life.

then that night, after sports day, most of us went to Fish and Co. to kind of celebrate our efforts. i swear that it was so much fun sitting next to Bel and Zhi Zhong. i think of the bases, i think i am most fond of these two. they are ust simply so... so... innocent? Bel is just cute, not Varun cute, but just cute in the way he behaves, and Zhi zhong is just quirky. they are like the positive life force of the group. just that dinner, Bel and Zhi zhong cracked me up utterly and completely, but in a way that is hard to explain. they were not funny persay, but their actions and their behavior, is just so bright and... indescribable. >.<

I just miss the whole bunch. like ZZ put it, its weird waking up on saturday and wondering what should you be doing, or tuesday after class having nothing to do... worse is that we cant find the time to meet as a whole group again... we/'re just too busy!!!! AHHHH! gah... maybe june hols is the closest time we can have our outing...

On the day of sports day, nadiah (House Comm one) re-asked me to be emcee for delta house function. at first i think i was kinda reluctant, but i knew that it would be interesting to. So i asked for a co-host. when nadiah first asked me under TRC, i had initially said to look for a co-host. ximin who happened to be around, jokingly said she would co-host, but when nad asked me on sports day itself, i had to pull ximin in, as she was the only one that was remotely willing.

So, with 1 week to prepare, no details until wednesday, and rushing for time on friday, i think we performed quite well! haha, i learn that its not easy trying to script for an event that is really open, as it relies on alot of the audience paying attention. if it were just a performing event, i think our sript would have worked better, cuz at least the audience would pay attention and notice the comments we were making. haha i think one of the more embarassing moments of the night was the introduction of the magician. we had to pretend to have an argument, and i /"surprised"/ her with a flower, but 1) she knew it was coming, so it wasnt a surprise and 2) no one was really paying attention anywae.

One thing i did realise working with Ximin, was that it is really easy to do so. we are quite comfortable with each other, but it can be weird on stage as it is kida scary up there. maybe another event? i dunno about her, but i think it would be fun, and after this hosting, i think we are due for a better performance... haha, anyhoo, towards the end of the night it got better, and when the audience became more concentrated to the band performance ( by Mike! <- name of band), the night was more fun :D

the two events were quite significant, and also i realised both is related to Delta. it just ups my interest in taking a house-based post. bcuz of SC i cant run for Houe committee this year, but i know that jane, yixiu and many of the cheereladers are running for HC, so i can always get involved by asking them for updates and helping with the planning. hopefully shaik will get House Captain, then it really will let the cheerleaders be very involved in HC.

Perhaps you could say its kind of a goal. House Captain does seem a very promising post, even if being in TA sets me at a disadvantage. but that can be left till next year. haha, goal worth working towards though!
