Every competitor has to flash this chop we have on our arm when asked to. No idea why it says 'senior'. It's probably just some random chop.
I can't really remember the sequence of events (that's what happens when you take too long to blog), but I think we had a rehearsal that day at the competition area in the morning, also for the judges to check if our stunts are legal. If i'm not wrong we managed to get ASU :)

We had to attend an opening ceremony rehearsal after that. A self shot taken with zhaoming's zai camera while waiting haha.
Team Singapore :)
With our german liaison Lianne!
It's the first time all the cheerleaders from every country gathered together so it was pretty cool!
The russian and singapore contingents!
With our singapore sign :]
Proud to represent Singapore! Hee.
With the bambis! A team from Japan made up of young girlies. They're really good! They're all girls and so young, but i'd say they're better than lotsa squads in Singapore!
After the opening ceremony we managed to grab some photos with the Japanese! 
Members of the Japanese all girls team! I think the taller girl is really pretty! And she's a super zai base!
Here's our lunch pack! 6 Euros. With two buns, an apple and orange juice.
A photo with the hongkong boys!
While waiting for the real opening ceremony to start, we started taking photos again :)
Heh interestingly other cheerleaders seemed very amazed and started snapping photos of us. I guess they don't have the habit of doing stunts at random places heh.
Braves coach! He's so young, 28 only i think? Amazing how he managed to train up such a fantastic team.
We were the earliest team to arrive at the area where we were supposed to gather, so someone suggested we go take photos with every single flag! Haha lame but we had fun running down the row and posing with all the flags and signs :P We didn't take a photo with our OWN flag and sign though 'cause we already did earlier.. it proved to be a mistake! Just before we went in for the opening ceremony we realised our flag couldn't be opened. :( Shan't dwell too much on what happened 'cause it's rather depressing.
Catching a photo with the beauty bears! It was very funny 'cause they were trying to keep up with the rest of the Japanese team and take a photo with us at the same time. Hence the blurry photo.
So anyways, after the opening ceremony it was time to compete! I was super uber nervous before our turn, watching the teams before us compete and seeing the many many spectators. It suddenly dawned on me that we were competing at a world championships and omg that's freaking scary.
After we competed we headed up to the stands to watch the other teams perform.
It was great watching all the countries perform. First time watching the Europeans cheerleaders and they all seem to have a certain style different from the Asians. Japan was unbelievable as usual, thailand's routine seemed less thai this time, china put up an amazing performance despite being one man down, and for taipei it was just such a pity... :(
We were pleasantly surprised when some girls asked for our autographs as we were walking back towards our hotel! Our first fans! Haha. :P
I love this photo!
The girls are all cheerleaders too, and I really hope that in someway or another we managed to inspire them to achieve much more in cheer! Think they're so lucky they got exposed to this fantastic sport at such a young age :)
