Going down to LA with the cheesy Poofs (254)...

[Ken Leung]

Last Friday I was fortunate enough to catch a ride with team 254 the Cheesy Poofs down to Chatsworth HS in LA for their off season competition. It was the best camping experience I¡¦ve ever had! Well, the first one anyway¡K ;-) I got to spend more than 14 hours inside a cool van listening to certain regional director (whose name have an initials of J.M.) singing certain songs and laughing when his student was screaming to him about it, AND I will never forget when the Poofs were constantly cracking up jokes all the way down to LA¡K

Because of some hospitality from the Poofs, I had the most fun I¡¦ve ever had in a competition experience! I didn¡¦t just watch the competition silently without my own team; it was different¡K Camping under the stars on a soccer field of a high school without a tent or a sleeping bag¡K Keeping my eyes open for the whole night watching the sky turn blue and listening roosters¡¦ calling in the morning¡K Being a judge of a side racing game of the robots¡K Falling asleep on the concrete basketball court with only a thin blanket around me the second night¡K Help putting together the playing field and taking it apart afterward¡K

I have to say ¡§Thank You!!!¡¨ to the Cheesy Poofs for letting me sharing a competition experience with them. I really had a great time. I am really glade I got to know more of the Poofs¡¦ students on this trip.

And of course, another ¡§Thank You¡¨ to the Poofs for their team T-shirt. That shirt fit perfectly, and I love it! I guess I am an honorary member of the Cheesy Poofs from now on¡K AND they gave me the hot-pot they got out of the many big prices they won at the raffle the night of the competition¡K (You don¡¦t know what you are missing, Adam!!! It actually boils water! I should¡¦ve get me one of these when I first got to college¡K) The Cheesy Poofs doesn¡¦t just win the competition, they win EVERYTHING! I am glade I was a part of that¡K
