Everyone's hyped up for CHEER

Last Sunday, CHEER 2011 was being held at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil. It was my first time going there, and I went as a BRAT (The Star R.AGE Young Journalist Programme which stands for Bright, Roving, Annoying Teens) for a coverage - sort of.

Photobucket

Was outside before (really) entering the stadium. There I met Lii Yung and Karisma, two other BRATs from the same workshop as me.

Photobucket

Inside, the crowd was cheering so loudly. I really salute them, the loyal supporters of their own respective teams participating in CHEER. It wasn't even 9am!

Photobucket

The judges' table and media table were down there.. and the blue mat is the place where the cheerleaders will perform their stunts.

Photobucket

The blue shirt team is from Sri KL. They have two teams representing them - Cyrens and Rayvens. Cyrens was last year's champion. The supporters are really semangat !

Photobucket

People filling up the stadium... Honestly, me and my friends were kinda lost as we didn't know what to do. Then we met up with the other BRATs, talked to Sharmila (from R.AGE) and we went around the stadium.

Photobucket

We were supposed to interview the audience/supporters/participants, tweet about the event, blog about it on Tumblr.. and pretty much that.

The other BRATs were sitting at our 'base', hogging the laptops and tweeting every detail of the event, while me and Karisma and Lii Yung walked around. We ended up sitting below Dynamitez, close to the 'stage'.

The crowd was getting bigger, and LOUDER and so super energetic. When it was time, hosts Jeremy Teo from RedFM and Tuah from Suria FM came out and got the crowd even hyped up!

Photobucket

By the way, Jeremy is cuuuuuute! :P

First team to perform was Pytonz from SMK 7 Shah Alam.

After their performance, Jeremy and Tuah were calling volunteers for a quick game in between

When Jeremy announced that Muriel is gonna be up later, their super enthusiastic supporters started shouting and screaming at the top of their lungs!

Photobucket

But they were faced with competition from Dynamick (supporters of Dynamitez and Mickeymitez) which was just next to them.

So both teams were competing to see who will shout the loudest :P (my eardrums nearly burst cuz I was standing just below lol)

This panda is a really cute mascot for Xavier! It was quite popular among photographers and the audience as many of them were taking photos of/with him.

Then it was lunch break, so we walked around after having our lunch (which was sponsored) and I saw this! LOL this is so ridiculous. I mean what's the point of having the machine when you can just walk around it lolol. #fail

Photobucket

Pirates All-Girls from SMK Cochrane

Photobucket

Blitzers from SMK Bandar Utama 4

Photobucket

I actually enjoyed their performance. I think they could have be in the Top 3 if it wasn't for one member who fell and tore her ligaments somewhere.. It was such a pity, really. But the other members still carried on, and I admire their spirit despite what happened (:

Xavier from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas

Photobucket

After that I didn't continue watching the show, cuz me and Karisma went around interviewing people. I missed the boys cheearleading, aiks :/

LOL btw I don't even know why we were interviewing them cuz it's not like we're gonna write something about this event anyway. I mean, I didn't even get to touch the Tumblr blog when Sharm said to blog on it.. lol

The yellow shirts and pink shirt supporters were supporting Panthers and Calyx respectively

Photobucket

A cheerleader from Calyx

Form 2 cheerleaders from Pirates. So adorable, even in the way they talk! :P

Another one from Team Xavier

Photobucket

Last group of people to be interviewed, supporters rooting for Titans!

Photobucket

Hehe and also, we didn't miss the chance to have our photo taken for FREE by Canon at their booth! Whoaa thanks a lot man, I love how well the photos turned out. Good memories to keep :')

Photobucket

We actually took 3 shots cuz we thought they were only going to print out 1 copy for each shot. So you know, each person gets to keep a copy. We didn't know they printed out 3 copies for each shot, but then they only chose 2 out of 3 shots.

Photobucket

Erm, was that confusing? LOL. Sorry, didn't mean to :P

Supporters from Dynamick were all running down to the platform from their seats when it was announced that they won the Best Supporters Award. Haha I think they deserve it, what with their shouting and cheering non-stop and the dynamite mascot xD

Photobucket

A huge sea of RED x)

Photobucket

Not Man U okay.. haha!
