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.
Was outside before (really) entering the stadium. There I met Lii Yung and Karisma, two other BRATs from the same workshop as me.
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!
The judges' table and media table were down there.. and the blue mat is the place where the cheerleaders will perform their stunts.
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 !
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.
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!
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
Vulcanz All-Girls from SMK Seafield
At the judges' table.. you can see all the judges were so intense on allocating marks. Haha stressed out probably :P
A very interesting dynamite mascot for Dynamitez! No wonder they won Best Supporter Award huh :P

When Jeremy announced that Muriel is gonna be up later, their super enthusiastic supporters started shouting and screaming at the top of their lungs!
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)
Muriel from SMK (P) Pudu
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.

Rayvens from Sri Kuala Lumpur
Anchorz from SMK Seri Bintang Selatan
Stompers from SMK Bandar Utama 3
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
Pirates All-Girls from SMK Cochrane
Blitzers from SMK Bandar Utama 4
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
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
A cheerleader from Calyx
Form 2 cheerleaders from Pirates. So adorable, even in the way they talk! :P
From Rayvens, who won the second place! Job truly well done as they're newcomers! :P
Another one from Team Xavier
Last group of people to be interviewed, supporters rooting for Titans!
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 :')
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.
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
A huge sea of RED x)
Not Man U okay.. haha!
