Sometimes, we do wonder why we work in such manner.Sometimes, we do realise that the things we hope for doesn't really goes as plan.But oh well, from 3 years being a part of it. I guess, it doesn't really matter to me.I just feel numb. Numb. Numb.[To every hope and opportunity that I was given, I guess its all fake and false. Thus, I concluded that I will never be a somebody.]Many people will realise that this is true. I guess it's too late for me to realise that now.I'm happy that most of them made it up to where they want to be. I'm just kind of disappointed on some people and myself too. Surprising results and thus, question still remains.Are we? or Are we not? Who deserves it the most? Does he/she?I really want to hear that promise that she gave me.[This year, it will be different.]I really want to see how different that we will be. Or is everything just a lie.Or has it been always a lie. Working hard and working smart, trying to work our ass up there.I guess, somethings are not meant to be.Maybe that's why I'm a better musician, not a superb cheerleader.Cos I know I can do things that certain people can't really do.People said[We should never live life thinking what if]I agree to such extend. We should never live life thinking what if. Thus, we will never have the courage to take the risk. We will live in fear, traumatised and pressurised in every little thing that we do.I know I'm somebody who was meant to be on the backstage, never to appear infront of people. Cos I guess, I'm somebody who can't achieve something that they can.Every little comment that he said, I take it as a compliment cos I know, some people could never just beat/defeat me in that. I'm being competitive right now. Because I, myself will fight against my own family.Family, heh. Are we?Well, I just want to see how is it going to be like this time round? Who will be the one doing all the jobs and stuffs like that. Who will be thanking those people who helped the people with the major appearance? This, I really got to see. Well, I assume that since I can't use certain strength of mine put up to a good use. I don't think it's necessary anymore to guide or to help. It's very true.[If you're not in the competition, you have another shot. If you're not in the main team, you suck. You can't go anywhere]Well, it's true. Definitely true. Sometimes, I'm living under the pity-ness of others. I'm really turning into a selfish person. Well, if I do turn into one, I won't be the only one. There's more of us out there who are so selfish that we will just forget our own roots and how we all started.[Technique and Your Heart matters. Strength is just an advantage.]I concluded cheer to be like this. It's not what you can show off. It's what you can teach and make the rest be like you. I'm serious. I appreciate for all the help I'm given and I'm happy for those who didn't. It's your heart that matters and technique matters the most. Strength is just an advantage for you to gain that bonus points. Let's look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, are we really? or are we not?I really now despise the word family. If we are one, why do we have to leave and forget each other? Why do we have to remember the bad side of one another? Why do we have to compete and bring each other down, humiliating and disgracing one another? Is it because of something we both did to each other? Why are we not being transparent? Why not? Friends against Friends, Competitor against Competitor. Barbaric, isn't it?Bragging about every single thing that you do is totally a no no. Everyone has plans and will try their best to put it into action. Let's see who will have the last laugh. Heh!All I know, I think I will get into deep shit. Seriously.Maybe I should really just focus on Music, because that's what I am? Aren't I?People do appreciate me for what I am there and make me feel at home.So many secrets, so many questions. We're not really as one, anymore?Congrats to those who made it.Well wishes to those who didnt make it.Best of luck to those who will take over our position.Will waffles be no longer?Will team mates be enemies?Will we be as one, friends?We shall see.I'm just a Cheerleader.No Cheer, No Dance, No Jumps, No Gymnastics.Just Stunts.
Am I proud of who i am?
let me just spend my birthday with a few
that i wish to be with.
