lyrics of awesomeness

waking up in the midday sun
what's to live for?
you could see what i'd done
staring at emotion in the light of day
i was running
from the things that you'd say
-Mika, We Are Golden

please don't go away

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out

and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you
forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love.


I miss the sound of your voice
Loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember


All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils
And God, when you come on
Hold on

hold on, hold on, hold on

It's all wrong, it's all wrong
It's all wrong, it's so right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love


Everything works in your arms.

Simple yet beautiful lyrics make me very happy. I think I'll start every blog post with awesome lyrics from now on.

Anyway, it was a simple enough song that got me thinking. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. You know, it's all about what teenage dreams are supposed to be. Slightly crazy, hormone-driven, up-and-down, impulsive, even though everyone's saying you're going to regret it later.

And I realized I've never experienced a teenage dream. I've never felt that - I don't know, the best way I can describe it is that feeling you get when you're going down a roller coaster. Scary as hell, but mad fun at the same time.

I guess I've been sheltered like that. Everything I've ever done has been totally risk-free. And kind of boring. I seriously have nothing to confess to every time people start playing truth or dare - they'll ask some question, I'll answer with "nope" or"never" and they go OMG AREYOUSERIOUS. YOU'RE BLARDY ANGELIC, YOU KNOW THAT?

I never thought of myself as angelic :/

Moving onnnnn.

Thanita and I had a funeral for the Haribo gummy bears I dropped on the floor. FIVE OF THEMMMM. WASTED.

We put them in her nougat bag. (I love it when The Cocoa Trees visit our school, they should totally set up some branch in Cedar or something.) However they were not given a proper burial because I had to go for cheer, so they were dumped in the dustbin. Harsh. But I gotta move on.

Cheer these days has been kinda slack. Mostly randomness. Ohyeah I'm so glad I haven't forgotten how to do flower stand. Melissa, Nicole, your lives are not in danger.

So anyway Cherie told us to stretch (we were at the second level empty corridor) and somehow I ended up lying on the mats starfish-style.

"Eh got camera leh."

"Oh HAY THAR." -waves-

"Oy I tell you to stretch then you go and PIAK on the mats!"

And then when we were doing straddle (it's a stunt.) OMG. EPIC. FARNEY.

"Nonono, you hold her UPPER THIGHS! Don't grab her butt!"

"Upper thighs, lower butt, yeahyeahyeah."

"I feel so VIOLATED."

And then Cherie suggested we do crunches for an entire song. And Eleanor walked in on us while we were laughspasming and Not Doing Crunches. To a Kpop song slected by Cherie. She had her "WTH BLOODY SHIT YOU ALL SUPPOSED TO BE PRACTICING" face on and everything.

We found out that that was because she had bad news about the YOG closing ceremony that she'd informed us about last night. They wanted professional cheerleaders, so we couldn't perform. Sad, but that's the way it is.

But anyway what was really funny was what she did BEFORE the news came.

Yep, she ended up going PIAK on the mats as well. Then Cherie was like "SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE." and then she sat down next to her and she said "OH HEY SHE'S ALIVE. SHE'S STILL CHEWING ON HER BISCUIT."

And you had to have seen Elly's face to laugh at this story because she had her eyes closed and all and kinda really looked like she'd fainted yet SHE WAS STILL EATING AHAHAHAHAHA.

You know, we've been through all kinds of shit together. Not being able to remember dance steps, formations, etc. Clashing schedules, other commitments, annoying each other when it's been horribly stressful. The rain on Sports Day.

But I love Ixora Cheer '10, I really do. Maybe I'd love it less if I'd joined last year, because according to Shan, Minru, Eleanor and Cherie, it was a lot better, a lot more fun. I don't know. I just know that

I love my awesome juniors (they're all PFOBLCIs) they're blardy cute seriously. And farney.

I love my lovely root-sister Zhenrong

I love Saranya, the strongest base on Ixora cheer :D

I love Eleanor, the gay-ass girl-man broadway/cheer/hiphop/ballet/modern contemporary dancer

I love Minru, the gayest next to Eleanor, the amazing cowfish/fishcow

I love Shansquared, my awesome ahbeng pal,

I love Ah Meng, the girl who laughs at ridiculously inappropriate moments

I LOVE HOW WE ALWAYS GO OUT FOR PEPPER LUNCH AT AMK HUB TOGETHER AFTER CHEER AND HOW SHANSQUARED WILL SPAM HONEY BROWN SAUCE.

I LOVE HOW WE ALWAYS USE 'BONDING' AND 'STRETCHING' AS AN EXCUSE TO SLACK.

I LOVE HOW WE CAN MAKE AN AWESOME TEAM EVEN THOUGH OUR CCAS ARE ALL TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND TOTALLY CLASH (library, dance, eldds, guzheng, track, band, NCC, badminton, girl guides...)

I LOVE IXORA CHEER FULLSTOP.

Ten days, people. Start the countdown :D

(By the way, can I say how totally lame it is that we're cheering on Teacher's Day? Cheerleaders cheer at athletic meets. It's The Order Of The Universe. But I guess it's better than not performing at all.)
