Exciting!

The hardworkers of b.gym!

All ready to be awarded to the deserving gymnasts!

Everytime i fall sick i get reminded of how sweet mama is. She insisted for me to see the doctor, and rushed down to accompany me to. Loves.
.

Then came competition day! Had to wake up at 6+am OMG. Don't know when was the last time I did that.
.

I was super stressed of course - 1. I was sick. 2. I was the meet director 3. I had 13 students competing in the competition! All day I was just praying nothing would go wrong with - 1. me 2. The running of the competition (which includes soooo many things 3. My girls' performance.
.

Luckily for me, I had all my bosses/colleagues to help me run the show during the morning session while i was busy with my girls. They don't read my blog except maybe youzi (heloo if you still do!), but i really want to let them know how much i appreciate it! Don't have all their emails and contacts though, and the next time i see them would be almost 2 weeks later! Not that I mind. :P

Nicole and heidi! (Who always has her mouth open like that when she's doing her routines!)

All my balestier girls!
Luckily for them and I, my girls performed pretty well with no major mistakes i.e. forgetting of routines/direction etc!


These are my jurong girls Felt pretty guilty I couldn't be with them during the competition 'cause I was with the balestier girls. Proud of the jurong girls anyhow :)) But they all look so sad in this photo. Hope it's not 'cause a few of them didn't get gold Actually they were supposed to but something went wrong with the sorting of the results :( I've already informed them that there was a mistake, hope they're happier now!

Balestier darlings!

We were all looking for our group's cutest kid, isabelle. haha. The girl on the left, siobhan, kept shouting for isabelle and refusing to look at the camera that her mum bluffed her isabelle went home. I got cheated too and was a little sad haha.

But she was still around! YAY!

It's difficult to get all the little girls to smile at the cameras at the same time.

Krysten! My top balestier student! She performed really well!

Cutie isabelle!

My most talkative (and chubby) kid, Siobhan!

That wasn't the end of the day! That was just the end of the morning session sadly. I would have taken more photos with my girls if not for the afternoon session! Although I didn't have any students competing in the afternoon, it was scary as well! 'Cause the two bosses were now busy with judging/coaching, I had to make sure nothing went wrong! There were a couple of tricky situations, but luckily they were resolved. Phew. But towards the end of the day I just got more and more tired and my headache got worse and i couldn't wait for the competition to be over peacefully.

Although it was a tiring day, I think I learnt the most on the competition day itself. I've taken part in competitions as a gymnast, but was always too preoccupied with my performance to notice how competitions are actually run. I had a rough idea of what was supposed to happen during the competition, but when the time came i realised OMG, there was so much more to handle than I expected. There were a couple of areas that could definitely be improved on and I should have been better prepared at, but I'm glad the competition didn't turn out to be disastrous!

Hooray to the successful B.gym Invitational 2010!
