Saturday, 24th July 2010

well today the ipa was used for some meeting ... so we had to meet up at dorm ... since there's a large group of us, we were divided into two dorms ... A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2 & C3 were grouped at M1 while the rest at F1 ... anyways did our usual prayers before going practice ... after that zone B (the gym zone) needed to go out to field again ... once head out to field, brighten with the spotlight, we did warm up first ... after that they taught us how to do flow 4 which is the domino ... there are alot of variation that has been done for domino befoe but i think this is the first time im doin this type of variation ... anyways there's calis to be learned for this flow as well ... all of us doin the same calis but just different position and different timing ... the importance of this flow is the timing ... when one group comes up at certain time followed by another group, then u can see the domino effect (well thats wat im told, im not sure how it looks like) ... well the calis move is quite easy but since we've learned whole lot of calis in the past flow, so we tend to forget some steps ... after practicing a while, then both zone A and zone C joined us at the field ... and we run through this flow to see the domino effect which i think was a success ... anyhow after tat we were dismissed but before that, we went to canteen and collect our luggage as well as some breads for night eating ...

well basically the same procedure as usual ... had breakfast at the canteen ... then head to ipa where our attendance were taken and did prayers ... after keeping our stuff then as usual zone B headed out to the field ... need to apply sunblock cuz its gonna be a long day out ... anyways honestly i cant really remember the sequence of what we did but basically we did the opening flow calis again incase if anyone of us forgot ... oh yea of course warm up in the beginning ... and then we continued from last week where i said i was doing 1.1 at first but after tat im doin 1.5 ... well in this flow we're doing a turning ... we hav the tallest formation (3.1.1) in the middle followed by rocket, 1.1, 1.5 and standing in every four side ... and we have 3 sets of it ... well as u can imagine, its gonna be like tallest middle then getting shorter ... when up in the formation, we need to rotate into different position within 2 of the eight counts ... which comes up to a 180 degree of position change ... so we spent some time polished on tat flow ... each set is a combination of 2 groups btw ... like my set, its my group (B3) combined with B4 ... we did quite fast compared to others cuz not to lanci but my group got alot of huge bases and super top ... so when they do anything, they can do it immediately ... after running through it, then we stopped for lunch ...

after lunch, then we continued with our training under the intense hot sun ... we proceed to the next flow which is ... well theres no name for it ... but lemme describe it ... we're doin a formation 4.2.1 and the top (which is the 1) need to jump down and the rest of us catched him ... well its not too difficult for this formation, but the top needs to have courage and the receiver (those people who catched the top) need to have the strength and concentration cuz they need to follow where the top gonna jump down and catch him ... well wat was my position? ... i was supporting the second to go up and catch him when comin down time ... not difficult ... anyways after some practice on that, then we run the full flow from the opening ... in the middle of running it started raining ... so we went for shelter in front of the ipa ... yan lim, one of our gym senior shared some experience with us and asked us to close our eyes and imagine what we suppose to do while he made the counting for the timing of the performance ... then he invented a clap and later called it something (not sure cuz its in cantonese ==) ... then we went back in ipa and a ymd shared his experience ... then we were dismissed ...

it's a rainy day ... lucky we set out early cuz its very jam ... reached there on time but others not so fortunate i guess ... group up at ipa, take attendance as usual and of course prayers ... then we zone B, who usually heads out to field, went to dorm this time cuz its still raining ... anyways the flow tat i mentioned earlier bout the top jumping down was scrap off ... dunno y ... but it's replaced with the fountain turning like the 6.15 performance we did in the year 2008 ... so we need a 3.1.1, rockets, 1.1, 1.5 and standing ... i forgot each need how many edi >.< ... but anyways im doin 1.1 ... my top quite huge size but im proud that i managed to lift him up cuz the last time i did 1.1, i tak boleh tahan wan but this time can tahan edi means improving =P ... anyways they gave me a supporter just incase cuz after lifting them up from squating position, then we need to walk for 2 counts of eight ... well the whole night we spent on practicing the formation and then we combine and turn ... it looks nice i guess ... anyways that's all for the night ... they told us tat tomorro we'll be doin the last flow which is the tower ... and im gonna miss it cuz of my sis convo >.< ... hopefully i'll still get some good position though ...

anyways that's the update for the performance ... finished this post bout 12.40pm saturday morning ... gonna head out soon for practice at 2 ... heard tat we're goin stadium today and practice XD ... cant wait


Have A Nice Day :)
