It's been two days since the Far East Square Wushu Display but the feeling of satisfaction is still wif me.....
Finally!! The juniors got to perform what was painfully practised throughout the month. No, the performance was not flawless but it more than surpassed my expectations. Perhaps I'm being abit too kan cheong but I ought to be. After all, it's our first public performance. Coupled wif the fact that most of them are year 1s n the one leading them is a bai kah senior..... There IS cause to be worried!!
What's more is that Ninja-do is not a very widely known martial arts nowadays and this performance have the ability to spread the first impression of us as either creme or crap....
The final result made all the blood vomitting, screaming, painful accidents( trust me...there were plenty during practise....esp wif the weapons!!) n the sacrifice of time worth it. Hope they learnt much from this experience. For me, at the very least I found out that it's not scary at all to perform in front of live audiences!! Next time maybe I'll be performing for wushu too!! hah!
Thanx ah Baby n Cat!! For this opportunity!!

Wow!! Not bad! Just received a letter in deep pink, dated all the way from Valentines day!! Nope, it ain't a love letter but a reminder from HDB Car Parks Section stating that I have not paid my parking fine ($8) n threatening to haul my ass to prison for three months or slap me wif a $2000 penalty if i dun pay up by day of the FES display. Not bad at all.......
Well at least i also received a renewal of my medical benefits from HSA. N i though they wouldn't renew it anymore due to late donorship of blood......well at least it's still good to know u can abuse the medical system even when u ORDed...!! hehheh...
Nothing really interesting today except that lao auntie the NP wushu ppl n I met while dining. It's obvious that she's not really in her right (or left) mind. Somehow she chose us to be the victims n sat down beside us n chat non-stop!
We can't do anything but enjoy the chat loh.... here's a small list of wat she blabbered......
1) Oh wah!! The monsoon this yr gonna be big!!! We Singaporeans are gonna be drowned!!!
2) The parliament Singapore consist of 10 Lee Kuan Yews, 6 Lee Xian Loongs (probably clones) n they are all out to control all S'poreans!!!! Whoa....wait wait..it gets better......
3) The Bird Flu Virus was actually created by Osama by feeding birds wif wateva@%&* n was meant to release to America but cos of he stong winds of the monsoon, all the birds are "blown" to Asia........
n lots of other crap.....almost laughed to death when she ask Kun Shyong (on the monsoon topic) whether if ocean waves could stop or reverse one!! Of cos our Kun ge was left speechless......while i laughed my lungs out......

Whoa...stamina n strength really cannot make it liao!! It really shows during yesterday's training wif the Ngee Ann wushu ppl. Really felt like collapsing halfway through training even though I already exempted myself from some of the routines that might rove harmful to my leggy situation. The jiaolian was an interesting n friendly old man. N it's fun to do some Zhou jia warm up routines. Was also learning the 3 duan Qiang in extreme details. Yep! I really needed that since my I never even trained my basics b4 back in NUS. Jumped straight into the competitive routines when I first joined. Fortunately the club is not as unestablished as I first thought. The senior teaching qiang was a former national team member too. N he def knows his stuff...
Well this intruder has successfully infiltrated yet another club!!! hahaha...

Had quite a fun day down at Ngee Ann Open House. Visited my old laboratory, which is now refurbished wif air-con n lotza stuff.... Also made a trip to the brand new Ngee Ann Convention centre which now stands tall over where the Octagon used to be. It's a grand place....din have chance to explore it fully....yet. Used to have rumors saying that the old Octagon was used as a 'Bagua' symbol to keep the fengshui well n the roaming spirits at bay.....hmmm.....heh.....
As usual, the Atrium was crowded like siao but fortunately the Ninjado's booth was beside the industrial fan....finally we get a good spot!!!
Yet another countless incident to to remind me how small Singapore is:
New Towners set up a booth selling flowers at the atrium today. Bought one from this girl cos of her good attitude n to support my sec sch juniors. Three of us (Jieli, the girl n me) end up crapping n toking about our Sec sch stuff for an hour.....eventually found out that the New Town girl was the sister of Yim Yim...a good fren I haven seen in a while.....wah kaoz....beats the incident where one of my CNY visits led me to the place of one of my physio frens .....yah he turned out to be my relative....n tons others...

Went Peixing's place today wif a whole bunch of my ninjado juniors for our own form of reunion dinner wif astro club ppl...had lots of fun if not for the car acccident I had wif another Ah pu nei's car just downstairs.....
Now I believe in sixth sense...been sensing that an accident involving my lorry is coming....n i was rite on the money!
One word of advice: trust ur instincts!
another word of advice: dun drive when u just woke u for less then half an hour n in a rush!
Yet another mental note: Indians driving dark coloured vehicles somehow blends in wif the tarmac colour rendering them 'invisible'!
