Our liaisons met us early in the morning to take us to the stadium! They are so sweet, acted as super great nannies to us! They stay very far away from our hotel, so they all had very little sleep the previous night! Poorthings.
Photo stolen from facebook!
Shiqi and I experimented with some blue glitter on our eyes and omg i looked hideous. Sneaky shiqi asked me to put more but secretly wiped off some of hers! Haha. Oh well, we were being self sacrificial and acted as guinea pigs for the future steppers flyers. :P
We joined all the other cheerleaders at the stands! Look who were sitting next to us! Chinese taipei and Japan. It's such an honour to sit beside such zai cheerleaders really. Hurhur i sound like such a hopeless fan. We were too shy to take photos with them and we didn't stay long enough to summon our courage! And of course on our other side was Aces! Singapore cheerleaders yayys. I was reminded of CAIO in japan last year, with the sea of cheerleaders sitting at the stands opposite us. I thought it was so cool seeing all the cheerleaders in their pretty uniforms all gathered together. :)) This time it was kr steppers to be part of them! :D
Soon it was time for us to warm up to get ready for our competition! Asked siyong to take candid shots of us stretching but uh the pictures were not very candid in the end. Too camwhore already :P The practice slot before the competition reminded me a little of the gym days when we would get like 2 minutes to warm up before we 上场. Just that we were a lot slacker while warming up stunts, not that kanchiong too.

After warm ups! Oat walked past us like a million times forever looking busy and talking on the walkie talkie. So i decided not to stop him for a picture but instead just wait for him to walk past :P
Soon it was our turn to compete! We were after taipei and japan, huge drop in standard =X Surprisingly I wasn't extremely nervous, I was probably more nervous during the last training in Singapore.
This was when we first met nut! She was a coordinator for the teams going up to compete!

Our first photo with Japan! OMG. HAPPY LAAAA. Their group stunts group :))



Soon after that was lunch time! Our liaisons didn't discriminate us after seeing how much lousier we are as compared to taipei and japan, but instead were so nice and encouraging! :P And the uber sweet non went through so much trouble to get lunch for us! Complete with special thai desserts! Don't know what the orange stuff is called, it's some super sweet bee hoon like thingie, and the colourful thingies edward's holding are LOKCHUBS! Our favourite! I was very much cheered up after eating the 爱心lunch and yummy lokchubs :)
While we were removing our make up, these girls were peering at us, and told us we were pretty! HAHA. And they tried to talk to us, they know some english :)) In our half removed make up (and facial foam on shiqi's face), we took a photo with those friendly girlies!
We returned to the stadium for the opening ceremony! Managed to grab (literally) a girlie cheerleader who was nice enough to smile at the camera! Although i grabbed her, she didn't take the photo against her will k, contrary to what the others say :p
All the cheerleaders were gathered on the competition mats for the opening ceremony! There were plenty of big shots present from thailand + japan etc, but i can't remember who they were whoops. But through their speeches, i learnt that they're trying to push for cheerleading to be an olympic sport in 2016! (If i didn't remember wrongly, the year that olympics will be held in Japan) That'd be so cool! I hope it happens! Jiayou to the cheerleading community! :D
We were on the scoreboard together with Chinese Taipei and Team Japan! What an honour :) Please ignore the fact that our score was almost only half of taipei's.
They have a conductor to lead the squad as you can see in the bottom left hand corner of the collage. The cheerleaders have to look at the conductor and also count in their hearts as they can only imagine but not hear the music. Incredibly they put up a wonderful, coordinated performance. It was really very inspiring watching their performance i almost cried. Too bad i didn't take a video and can't find it on youtube, but it's on the wildcards blog so you can go take a look!
Our liaisons+us+yeng headed to Siam paragon for dinner!
We won the fight against the liaisons to treat the meal! :D And so namwarn being the sweetie she is insisted on treating us to icecream! Icecream was almost as expensive as the the food so she was trying to sneaky thinking we would think it costs less! :P
She treated us to iberry icecream! Apparently a very popular brand of icecream in thailand. The name's like a cross between iPhone and Blackblerry -_- Oh the icecream treat was not the end! Namwarn and non went to the supermarket to buy lotsa mango sticky rice for us knowing we like it! Aiyo. Nice to the max, our dear liaisons.
Haha joe was so cute to suggest the shoulder sit although both of them seemed super super tired from organising the competition.
Hahaa all acting sexy except calvin who looks shocked or like he wants to eat shiqi's pony tail. :P
There was this place where they provided paper and crayons for you to colour over carved pictures (can't rmb what the pictures were about), but shiqi and i decided to doodle our own posters instead! :D
Our hotel was around 45 minutes away from the airport, Hopeland Hotel! It's such a lovely hotel really, the nicest I've ever stayed at in BKK. Pretty decor at the lobby, and nice,new and clean rooms. :) We thought we could concuss in the hotel rooms for the afternoon before our practice session at night (we all slept super little the night before 'cause there was training), but we were told that we had to leave straight after we dropped our stuff for lunch then practice 'cause aces/yod offered to let us train during their slot too. Thank you if any of you are reading! Just before we left our hotel room, I realised the 2nd room key and breakfast coupons were gone! We had to pay 500 baht if we lost the card so i was panicking a little! Searched around but couldn't find it. We were in a rush so i decided to look for it later that night. So anyway, in our chui training attire we had our first lunch at the MBK food court! I didn't dare to eat tom yum 'cause i was afraid i'd get a tummy ache during the practice later on and so I had pad thai instead, but stupid me went to add lotsa chilli flakes so my tummy still suffered during practice later on.
It was a little overwhelming when we entered the stadium, with squads like Japan and Taipei practising, lotsa cheerleaders everywhere, most of them who had their whole team with them while there were only the 5 of us. Worse still edward wasn't around and siyong had to sub him! But it felt better having fellow singaporeans, aces around. And of course our lovely liaisons! There were three practice areas at the stadium, two jigsaw mat areas and the centre area which had gym mats that were to be used for competition. Each team could practise at each area for a fixed period of time. I would say our practice didn't go very well, we were also rather slack 'cause edward wasn't there, we were a little self conscious and also distracted by other squads. After our afternoon practise session, all of us headed to MBK to buy a CD and burn our music! OMG. Til then music was still not ready. Scary stuff. Luckily our liaisons were uber nice and brought us to the internet cafe to download the music and to buy CDs!
Meet namwarn(the cute girl), harry (the one in specs) and non(the one holding the camera) in the top right hand picture of the above collage! :))) They are seriously the best liaisions, always so helpful and understanding towards us. Fun people too! :) We met two huge garfields along the way, damn cute la! Xian i thought of you! Haha.
I was so happy to see the rangsit cheerleaders! Always hear about them but never got to meet them. All those failed rangsit trips ughs. Okay i've seen some of them in Japan before, but it's different! And it was kinda exciting watching oat address the team! Not sure how to explain that, but yea. Haha. When we were training, one of the rangsit bases chang came to help us 'cause we kept failing! He was really nice, helping spot and trying to teach us at the same time! He became shiqi's and my favourite rangsit base. Heh. Check out rangsit's cool stunt below!
After dinner the exhausted bunch of us went back to our hotel to concuss! The bed was so comfy I really concussed the whole night without waking up at all! By the way, I found the room key and breakfast coupons in the safe. I accidentally locked them in the safe. Oops.
The one on 8-days is the $300,000 Bally one. It's more of an indian style dress and I wouldn't like to have that as my wedding gown, but being the beauty she is, Fann Wong looks good in anything! I love the bling bing hair band she's wearing! It's soooo pretty.
I haven't read the magazines yet, but i just flipped through 8-days and there're so many pretty pictures of them at maldives inside! Loveees it. Everyone should go get the magazines!
Did you know Fann Wong's the new model for Levi's Lady? How cool la i love seeing the huge posters of her. :D :D :D
Oh and remember to catch the live telecast of their wedding on TV tonight!! I can't 'cause i've got gym lesson at 7.30pm :(( But i'll record it and watch it later!
Here's wishing fann wong and christopher lee lots and lots of happiness! 白头xie老!! (damn i dunno which xie it is).
***
Please check out her toga wedding gowns too! I saw them in the magazines and on TV just now, the prettiest toga dresses ever!! She really looks like some goddess in all her wedding dresses! I'll try to google some photos to post on my blog next week! I'm sure photos of her dress will start appearing on internet after her wedding tonight!
.
I didn't fancy the dress she wore for her ROM, was a little disappointed. So I'm so happy that her other wedding gowns are all so gorgeous! Ahha. You must think I'm mad. Oh yes, and to give some credit to christopher lee, he definitely looks much better without moustache and spectacles!
