Well as you can see in this photo right here, Blitzerz was at the semi finals and finals of the CIMB KL Open Squash Championship held in Berjaya Times Square last weekend, where our very own Nicol David emerged triumphant for the 7th time! She was up against Word No. 6 Madeline Perry of Ireland in the finals. Nicol took just 34 minutes to win the match 11-6, 11-6, 11-2. However, in the men's finals, both from Egypt, world No.3 Karim Darwish beat Mohamed El Shorbagy 11-9, 11-9, 11-3 in a game of 53 minutes. That match in particular was really exiting to watch as the 2 men's scores were really close!
As cheerleaders, we were invited to perform for them in between matches. Got there early on Day 1 for makeup. Vinyi and Amanda were just darls to volunteer themselves to help with the makeup. After getting our makeup done, we then head in the court for some warm up. After that we went to grab a bite, practically raided the whole Cold Storage.
Soon after lunch we were told to be seated down as the game was about to start. Us cheerleaders were given seats directly behind the players, so it was really a fan girl moment for all of us. Funniest part is when the guy players take their shirts off in between matches to change to another one, and of course the camera would be facing the players, you couldn't imagine how much Ashley and I were trying not to laugh.
We were told to only perform three routines a day, but we ended up doing five on Day 1. I was so eager for it to make it on live TV, that I'd already set it for recording at home. Came home and watch through it, to find only a glimpse of our routine for Day 1. However on Day 2, careless me forgot to set recording and BAM, NOTHING! :( Mom said they aired it on TV, so hating myself for this.
Performance wise I think we did great! All stunts went up for all 7 routines, succeeded the 21 front walks I did in total for 2 days, Mel's side aerial is getting better by the try, not to forget Yuzana's front walk, and everyone else's. Great job!
Lunch at our so called "Japanese styled" restaurant. (it was just a bench in the middle of no where)

Us asking Nicol David for her autograph. Didn't manage to bring anything for her to sign on the first day, so I asked her to sign my clappers which was given there.

Nicol and I. Was right behind her.
Nicol was kind enough to sign my jersey on the second day. IKR, basketball? I couldn't think of anything else!
The half routine, on DAY 1
Overall, it was a great but exhausting experience, really enjoyed myself. Now, I think i caught the flu :(
BYE.
Nothing exiting happening so far now in my life. But....
Did I mention I finally got to try the 'most sought after' macarons? Yeah I did, like finally. They were made by one of Pn.Chan's ex-student. A couple of my classmates were ordering them so I said why not? They were really, i mean really pricey so I only ordered 2, heh. I can't lie, but they were really yummy. Can't wait to try some more macarons, as promised by Nick korkor, that is if we visit him in Sydney (hopefully).
Day 2. Greys have faded. Redish is a good sign. :)
Cheer practices are going on as usual during the holidays. Sprained my pinky finger at yesterday's gym session. Got it while I was catching puanpuan from her kick double, which she manage to ace effortlessly. It's starting to swell and bruise now, but not to worry it ain't broken. Just some resting, ointment rubs & tape will do the trick ;)
Pst, Blitzerz will be performing at the CIMB Squash Tournament this weekend. Either check us out at Time Square or live on Astro channel 801! :D

The rest of the month were just filled with school, cheer practices, basketball practices and pop quizzes. Still getting the hang of the new subjects like Add Math, Physics and Chemistry. Like they say, form3 doesn't prepare you at all to face form4. All I can do now for myself is to work hard and try not to get carried away by the playfulness of my class. Nick korkor came back to Malaysia last November and he just flew back last Wednesday. Hope his doing well there. Cheer practices have been doing okay lately, no longer a flier as some of you may have already known. I'm a backspot now, soon be getting those bruises GOT them already sista! Haha, which I might have brought it up in my English ULBS last Friday that I did on Cheerleading. HEE ^_^v
Speaking about basketball I joined back the team! So stupid for me to have left in the first place. Don't like talking about why I left, it was really a tough time for me. Got our jerseys this morning at training, I'm really happy with the design and colors this time. But if only it had our names on it like the picture above, I would be even happier. (I edited my name onto it, just so you know.)
Splits to God.
This has been by far the most unorganized post, KTHXBYE. x
