RIP CURL IVP 2008!

HElloooo everyone!

as you all know this weekend is THE weekend already. Chin has the counter going on even to let you all know down to the second how much time we have left..

Tension, pressure, stress is all building up.

but that's ok. it keeps us sharp. don't let it control you.

let's give them hell this weekend.

as you all know its the 2nd time SIM is participating in this event and

The final competition for many of us graduating this year.

me as your team capt.

Kristel as your president

Kevin as our official photographer

His level 99 power slide

Terence as our Malaysian tour guide

Joanne with her much talked about vest as our psycho wakeboarder no.2 (duhuh.. cause kristel is number 1 but its a close fight between them two)

this is of course NOT the last you will hear of us. we WILL be back to rock the alumni category next time round!

sooo once again as tradition has it, being typical SIM, we are planning to swamp the event. its going to be a fun filled roller coaster day of emotions for everyone! soo brace yourselves people!


please invite your friends family and what not to come and support on both the days!

this being my last event as team capt before passing over the torch to Hongyi. having watched the team grow from scratch to what it is today... i am proud, not because of our material achievements (not that its negligible), but the family like closeness and commitment as a team we have attained that none of the other teams can even come close to.

this is what keeps wakeboarding enjoyable, learning easier and the weekly monetary pinch sustainable for all of us.

Sooo...

LET'S do this people!

Artist: Athena Cage
Song: All or Nothing

Heres the chance of life
Get ready, set, fly
High
Above the fear of you mind
Go for it its hit or miss
Too late for you to quit
You gotta show them how bad you really want this

Live your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
You gotta work to get the c.r.e.a.m
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears
You have to win yourself
It's all or nothing
Give your everything

You are what you believe
You've got to bring the heat
Set the pace
Competition: take the lead
This is it all eyes on you
So stay on point and prove
That you deserve what's long overdue

Live your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
You gotta work to get the c.r.e.a.m
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears
You have to win yourself
It's all or nothing
Give your everything

My heart is still recovering
From Heartbreak of another kind
I'm still drying my tears
Getting over my own fears
In my life
I wanna make sure this time
That I'm strong enough
To give it my all

Live your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
You got to work to get the c.r.e.a.m
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears
You have to win yourself

It's all or nothing
Give your everything
Live your dreams

Live your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
(no, no)
You gotta work to get the c.r.e.a.m
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears
You have to win yourself
It's all or nothing
(I say it's all or nothing)
Give your everything

Live your dreams
(You gotta live your dreams)
It's not as hard as it may seem
You gotta work to get the c.r.e.a.m
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears
You have to win yourself
It's all or nothing
Give your everything

You know you've got to live your dreams
So don't you be afraid
Sacrifice
take the lead
It's your time to shine
Please believe
