Rushing through Katas

Felt really paiseh to fly kite on Wilson. Dun usually do such stuff when I gave my word. Sorry Wilson, for the transport matters and being unable to help in the SMU Environmental forum this weekend.

Not much choice since I was told last minute that I had to learn 3 SETS of Kata before Grandmaster Carter Wong arives in Singapore on Friday. And before that, all weekdays will be spent either coaching the juniors in the upcoming perf or in their physical reshaping after their exams weeks. Not to mention only Dickson will be free to train me on Wednesday. Which is very nice of him by the way.

Now the question is....How the hell am I going to learn 3 WHOLE sets of Katas in just one evening??? And since I'm no longer a junior colour belt, the scrutinization will be worse during the grading, which will cost me $200!! Was always poor in memory work. I'll just have to learn what ever I can. Maybe just memorising the steps and not perfecting the moves and stances but that is challenging enough already. This is bad. If not for the grandmaster's rare visit, I will confirm skip this grading. I always preach good stance in Kata, not to mention discouraging rushing through training. Now I'm doing it myself.

Not to mention other piorities and problems I have yet to deal with, if I know how to handle in the first place. This whole weekend will be totally burnt training and entertaining the grandmaster. Not that I do not like training. It takes my mind off things for a while. But for a while.

Sorry for the depressing post.
There are more chaotic times but this is not far off.
So much shame, dishonour and guilt in my actions of late. What is happening to me.
Can I say Help?
No I dun wish to. I cannot.
