Never in my seventeen years of life (now 18) would I have imagined performing in front of
so so many people. Believe me you, no amount of words can summarize that kind of feeling till you
personally experience it yourself. That kind of feeling is unbelievable.

Initially, when I first started out, I was quite hesitant about it. Cheerleading was never my kind of thing. I’m sure many of you guys felt that way too. But as the days and the weeks went by and we started having trainings, we all made new friendships, learning new things, discovered things about one another. That was what made the journey of the whole Ndp really memorable and meaningful.
Being one of the base for the human pyramid, I learnt that teamwork was really important. If one person were to make a mistake, the whole team suffers.
On the 9th of august, waiting to make our entrance on stage for the very last time, it suddenly hit me that this was the last time that we would be up there performing the routine. I don’t know about the rest, but after spending almost every Saturday at the floating platform with friends I had somehow grown attached to the routine. And when i didn't have to go down to the floating platform the next saturday, it felt weird.


Although our last performance on national day meant that our time as Ndp cheerleaders had come to an end. It made me feel really proud to be a Singaporean(:
I truly believe that what we have learnt from this awesome experience was priceless and it was certainly most worthwhile.

lots of love,
Melissa
