A Blast from the past 2005 and 2006 #3

Year 2005 was the first year, there are seniors tat stayed in cheerleading for 2,3 years running. The team mainly consist of seniors and some shy juniors ( yes , goaty was once shy n skinny, its hard to imagine but true... life is full of wonders rite? ) . Jesse (coach of 2004) recommended vincent to be our coach. Vincent is from the current magnum team that year.

Tat year.... was the most shag cheer year ever. Training consist of half an hour solid stretching, guys dun bother hiding ,u be hunt down n stretched. later on ,we haf circuit physical training :

handstand push up, diamond push up, tuck jump, jumping jack, burpees.... Bring shudders yet? we still need to do sets of test jump , walk up n down w shoulder stand ...

The idea was to bring cheer to another level and we worked very hard on the "new" stunts ( by now, tis stunts are considered basic, but during them, it was hard shit! )

One of the stunt "Teddy bear" is brought forward and made famous by hall one! We shld haf named it unisus bear instead, damn...





Unfortunately , we didnt win that year due to an major accident during the HO . Our top flyer, linda fell from an simplified toss to hand n hit the ground. Boys n girls ,e moment a flyer drop to the ground, its game over , we haf no chance in any of the medal . However , it is a very inspiring story becos after the fall. the girl broke her arm and tis is wat happened next. She went up and got ready for the next big stunt as top flyer. She was send to the hospital after the entire rountine was over. Talk abt dedication huh? I would haf like to name all the seniors den and dedicate tis post to them but i'm sure i will absent mindedly leave out a few names so the following are the pictures of them. If u guys want the video for tat yr, can ask me. ( oh oh , i had my 3 sec of fame during tat yr, solo dance!)







PS : the last picture shows the power of our flyer tat year ,use stomach carry ppl leh haha

A blast from the past #2


The year was 2002,2003 , cheerleading was more or less whatever anyone made of it.


Ee lynn (ancient)," before that it wasnt onli dance. there were a few stunts but we din do it the way it should be done. it was quite funny once u know how to do it right and u realise how dumb u did it then but yeah so anyway. haha so it was like trial and error and sort of learning from looking at other ppl lah. i tink last time there was cheerleading in some of the girls' schools and it was a remnant of that lor. whoever had a bit of experience jz took that and choreoed a dance."


Cheer had a few undermining problem den , despite the great interest it has generated during that period. It was hard to get guys to join due to the alpha male mentality den and well cheer wasnt really that spectacular nor respected as an actual sports den. However, ppl wanted to change that and it started w many talk cock session n many cup noodles that eventually brought about the changes.


Goaty,"why did cheer change from cultural to social?"
Gerald( hall one ex strongest man) ,"oh, i guess it's more like an "arrow" ba."



With the combined effort of the cultural sec n social sec, an identity was forged in the form of a unisus ( yes, we are lazy so we just let our name be the same as the hall's mascot) and along with it was our first generation actual uniform. Noticed the color combi is abt the same and its just as skimpy. This effort was further pushed forward with the introduction of our hall's first hired coach which was well, either jessie or lenny, i think its kind of an combined effort and this is the cute part, we were founded by magnum not aces. kind of like an angmoh raffles found us and not lee kuan yew rite?


Vonz~" i was trying to organise national cheering comp thats cheerobics then i got to know lenny
.then i asked him to help us lor .But at tt time after one session, he asked jessie to help us."


Lenny is the guy in white while jessie is the girl in white. Jessie went on the coach unisus in 2006 as well. And well that is the year that hall one got our first Champion in the year 2004, with the combined effort of everyone.




Next up , a run thru from the year 2005 to 2008 which also coincidently is the lifespan of goaty's cheer life.

Message for the Juniors

Hi Juniors!

Glad to see so many of you coming down to try out cheerleading. Due to the overwhelming response, we are kinda understaffed to teach all of you. Therefore, we need you to help us by:

1) Be Proactive, if you are not doing anything, grab a senior to instruct you
2) Dont be shy, just grab any flyer/base to try stunts
3) Always remember safety first, stay alert on the mats
4) Remember anyone can cheer! Get your friends down to try it with you
5) JOIN THE SENIORS FOR SUPPER! DONT RUN AWAY AFTER TRNG!

Unisus : A blast from the past #1

Hey there, tis entry is the first installation of how unisus started out! I dun really haf all the data n dates but these are wat i haf complied over the period of time when the idea hit me. If anyone find that any of the information might be wrong or something do drop me a mail and i would make the changes asap. :)


Long long long time ago when policemen just changed from wearing shorts to berms , hall one cheerleading was simply... well hall one cheerleading. We were under the cultural sec den and the cultural aspect of hall one was still kindna green cos after the foundation of hall one ,our founding father saw fit to promote the following cultural practise which up to this day is still very much of hall one identity ;supper , mahjong and ponding. Ther was no unisus nor unific , our cheer team is our dance team and at times our drama team as well. As one of the ancient (Vonz) saids,"cheer then was those dancing dancing stuff lor" . Shoulder seat was still not even introduced to the scene, in fact u probably only get to see knee seat! While i am not surprised by how cheer was den , i am surprised by the uniform den! U guys haf to understand cheer wasnt very hot den and it was the hokkien alpha male era so there was hardly any guys. Hence the uniform was kindna of like make shift.







Ancient (ee lynn),"before den , we actually wore gio tee shirt and skirt ( for girls) "












During that time ,digi cam still not in use so i haf no pictures of ppl from that time but i guess the tee would be sometime like the above? haha like ah tiong tee shirt rite?


Next up , the formation of unisus and our pioneer unisus batch!

1st day of training! woot~

As some of u muz alr know, we just had our first training. Generally, it went pretty well, we had good response from the freshee n there are a substantial amount of girls n boys as well. The problem however is the lack of seniors to teach n demo. so end up shoulder sit became an hybrid of tanzen n "bow and broken arrow". To furthur encourage our seniors to continue their pursue of cheer awesomeness and eventually,if god willing ,step onto the road of no escape that goaty has paved, here are a few good reason.

#1. U get to know the freshee! bring them go supper stil muz walk so far, den also e freshee from ur own family one, not so fresh liao.
#2 Eat meat, the tradition muz go on.
#3 Always wanted a face lift? come to cheer for instant results!
#4 Free gym, with the goaty's human weightlighting program, u be jimmy-fit in no time ,weights come in various sizes and availability,ranging from shuqin to goaty.
#5 The sweet sound of that virgin scream when they are up in the air... And the fun of making them smile when they are in midair.
#6 U get to see goaty , in fact for a small price , i will throw in my Goaty's eat meat 101 lesson. And for a slightly not so small price, i will help u set up the perfect romantic cheer partner stunt with the girl u desire. ( disclaimer: girls will depend on avaliability and girl u desire cld be replaced w guy not so desired)
#7 Revival of the V2
#8 Touch ur heart , u really miss cheer ,rite? that adrenaline high, tat bruise u can tell other ppl that u got it cos u one person whack ten person, the whacky story of how her elbow n ur butt connect in a failed stunt and mostly the unisus spirit that dwell within you.
#9 U get to see goaty.
PS : where is the 3 virgin that is supposed to be sacrificed at my altar?

That's all the crap i haf for the moment. Sorry for the late arrival of unisus's history, being a lil lazy whaha.
OK here are serious requests.
- Pls confirm training a lil earlier and other than updating in the blog , maybe shld try to spread it thru other medium. I am hoping to kick off the alumni as well so if i know it earlier ,it be easier for the oldies to schedule their time
-Pls use the blog , seniors pls post more, add in freshee and encourage them to post more too. after foc is when the spirit is highest!
-Lastly pls post more pics of training and competition, our blog lack pictures .
-sacrifice the virgins soon...

-Goaty
