Determination is the key to success ...

Hmm ... nothing much to say ... learning martial arts is about determination and patience ... I confessed that I had not much of these virtues until these few days where I had finally realised that both are the key to learn and improve on martial arts.

Learning martial arts is not to show off or to compare yourself with others, but to compete you and yourself. If you can improve and progress , it shows that you have already best your previous self. Rather than keep following others, why not slow down and anaylse your mistakes.

I had finally understand it le ... I write this blog is to remind my best friend ( You know who I am refering to ) ... Do not give up and feel depressed ... There are many others who are stronger and more talented than us. If you can keep improving and rectify your previous mistakes, the result will be better than your imagination.

That's it for today ... I wonder what the situation will be like if I take my seniors to the wrong place by accident instead of arriving at pei kio cc ... hehe ... I dare not think of the consequences ...

Power! Unlimited Power !!!

As Palpatine (Star Wars Most Evil Guy) once said that to Mace Windu, I envied him a lot. Now I no power to do anything le ... Today, I woke up late as usual ( I always cannot quit that bad habit ... ), ate 2 eggs down and dashed for the NYP clubcrawl to help out Li Yan and others.

Well, I took the sandwich board job and it was my first time (quite embarrassed too!) I wandered around in the sports hall, shouting a bit for year 1 students to join my club. They see me like plague god. All scattered away or ignored me and my group and walked away very fast, almost like vanishing at the spot after spotting me, the mobile advertisment.

Giving leaflets was another problem encountered. My weakness was interaction and I stammered quite a lot. So at first those who are interested in my club lost their interest instantly. Hehe ... Bo bian ( No choice ), My only and only weakness. Well, all hope of giving leaflets to year 1 students were gone but we were lucky as we decided to stop at the entrance of sports hall and give them leaflets which ended our task.

Around 12.45pm, we were hungry like mad. So I have a quick lunch ( chicken rice again ) and went back to help out. I was sort of sleepy after a full stomach and watched my friends persuading year 1 students to join.

It's a bit weird, 2009 year1 students seem to afraid wushu club to the point that they would avoid our intense gaze at them when they pass by our club's booth.

Food digested and my energy power is recovered, I went to film the process of the club's performance. How should I say it ... It is nice and elegant generally. But the front part is a bit untidy. It is not my friends' fault ... Well , at least the performance was a success in general.

Things did not turn out good either... My camera was filming the performance until one tiny bit problem occurred out of a sudden. I must say, like owner like camera. Its memory went to its limit and automatically stop filming the last part of the performance. What to do ? I deleted quite a lot of my precious photos taken quite long ago to accomodate the video size. Now suffering 'heart pain' (Loss of some valuable photos)

Although I did some physical training, I fail to train my hand muscle. I watched the video with my family and when the performance went to its climax, the screen shook a lot. My mum even asked if there's any tremors in NYP which resulted in such a lousy film. I blushed! It cannot be helped ! the performace went for seven long minutes and my hands were fixed to that position for 7 long mins too ...

What a pity I cannot film other performance too ... What a pity ... There's eye opener like foreign bodies ( don't know spelled correctly ...) and dancers. They look sexy and pretty. I must remember to buy an expensive camcorder to film 2010 clubcrawl (solely for dancers and foreign bodies) . Wasted ... Now also suffering 'heart pain ' because of this .( loss of some sexy gals picture and video ... damn ... hehe ... just kidding )

Training at cheng san cc at night ... It exhausted me a bit and my legs turned jelly. I almost embarrassed myself in front of juniors ... Powerless le ... Must rest well tonight ... because there's something I must do tmr ...

Finally !!!

Finally ... I had obtained a new weapon .... Haha ... ( Laughing like a maniac )

No worries ... Today, I woke up with the usual style ... (10:30am) , messy hair and grumpy look. I went with my mum to visit my mother's mother. So hungry and so thirsty, I reached the destination and gobbled down cold desserts and drank pepsi, and soy bean milk as if there's no tomorrow.

All was well until my training almost end, my stomach felt as if kenna hit by cudgel a million times ... ( cudgel = a long stick )

So ... morale of the story is ... Do not be so greedy like me, drink so much and eat so much cold stuff and suffering from severe stomach ache .... Damn ... So painful even I am writing my journal now =(

Snorlax ( Sleeping Pokemon )

Sleep, sleep and sleep. That's my daily activity. I noticed that it has become a pattern. Monday, tuesday, wednesday = sleep 12 - 16 hrs [ Wake up only to fill my stomach ] . Then wednesday, friday, saturday and sunday training. Hmm ... maybe i should quit that habit le.

Quite sad and happy at the same time because I am about to end my holidays and start school. TEP is about to start on next monday. I have no idea how to handle TEP. People said that TEP is very easy to handle. What's more, I don't have any classmates from BF in my new HR group.

Though it is like a surprise to me. I found that my BF classmate [ Nicholas ] has a friend which is also located to the same HR group as me. His name is lucas. Hmm ... What a coincidence ...

Sorry guys, I couldn't go and practise with you all because I had overslept and was extremely shocked when I woke up to see the time : 11am. Sorry to Li yan and others ...

And also, I will see if I can bring my camera for that grading test day to film you all. Good luck , everyone and I hope that all of you will obtain a gold for grading !

Well, there is nothing special happening today except a phone call from the SBM office , informing me of the things to take note when going back to report to school on monday. TEP still needs an orientation ? Oh my god !!! I guess bonding is necessary even though I dislike it.

Hmm ... Maybe I will try out the bubble tea store at Mac when I go back to school on Monday ... yummy ... Hehe

What a nightmare !

Today's training for me is like a mess (after warm up )

Well, it was my fault at first. I did not rest well last night due to my bad habit. I was an owl ( nocturnal creature) Who can blame an owl for not sleeping at night... Training as usual, is fun and sweaty. I perspired, until to the point of dehydration. Though there is a saying "Exercise makes one sweat", I feel as if I jumped straight into the swimming pool and train in the swimming pool.

I exhausted my energy and I couldn't focus much after warm up. Warm up exercise is not bad but still, its petrifying to see some instructors observing you while you are making difficult movements. The special training is too intense for me !! I almost black out outside the school when I walk towards boon keng mrt station. ( No joking ... I really mean it ) No stamina ... Or is it because I didn't rest well at night ?

Different people have different personalities. I must admit I am dim and slow in learning. In the past, teachers around me with bad temper will flare up at once when they encounter me who is a dim and slow reaction student. Time flies and many people have changed. I didn't. So ... it seems that most of the time I kenna scolded for my mistakes in my routine.

Never mind ... be strong ! 'Never say die' Quote from the battery I had always admired most ... The energizer.

Maybe its just me who got that feeling. I can't perform well when I am overwhelmed with stress ( more likely panic )

Very fortunately, I have had a wonderful coach who is able to guide a blockhead like me and I am really thankful to him. I will try my best to train harder !

Tomorrow will be going to Pei Kio CC for training ... Hmm ... So worried that my TEP will clash with NDP performance training in Pei Kio cc ...
