hmm haven been bloggin for a while as there isn't realli anything interesting happening in my life now. but yesterday was pretty different. It allbegan after wushu training. I happened to have a exactly same bag as one of my wushu friends, and he accidentally took my bag when he left. Had to ask my parents for help in fetching me to tiong bahru plaza to find them and retrieve my bag. In the end I missed my maths tution, and ended up going to dinner with my parents. On the way to tiong bahru plaza, we witnessed an accident. The car in the next lane was rear-ended by a taxi. Heard a loud crash followed by a breaking of glass and there it was right next to me, a taxi with one corner of its front crumpled. Good thing the accident wasn't very serious and no one was injured. The only other time I saw any accident was when some car hit a policeman at marina square several years back. Anyway, the place where we had our dinner was a pretty interesting place. There was this super long yet thin park in between the row of houses, something pretty rare in Singapore. Think the area was around Kreta Ayer and People's park, where my parents used to live. The shophouses there were refurnished whole lot of the shophouses were turned into some weird shops. There were art gallerys, some art workshops, got one super posh high-class restaurant and also some ahem... well u know... cheap hotels. Anyway that area is prettin interesting and doesn't make you feel you are in Singapore. Later after dinner crossed the road to some Pearl's centre where walking outside it already made me felt as if I was in hong kong. walked around abit and finally bought the kungfu hustle vcd. watched it that night.

I must say that it is indeed a very nice movie, better than I had expected. the fight scenes, though abit exaggerated at times, were still cool. the plot was good and the music accompaniment was perfect. traditonal chinese orchestra music certainly goes very well with martial arts. very good movie that I would recommend to everyone. I just wished that 3 of the wushu heroes in the movie didn't have to die, but sometimes that's just how cruel life could be.

Today was wushu mock competition. Got lotsa people from other schools came to participate too. There were wushu ppl from NYGH, Ngee Ann sec, Pasir Ris CC, TCHS and HCJC. One or my juniors nearly killed himself. I did the same routine as him but only did a one-handed cartwheel when the routine dictated that there was to be an aerial(no hand cartwheel) near its end. He could do an aerial, but I guess he was too tired and flopped and nearly killed himself. He sort of landed on the side of his head and bit his tongue, causing it to bleed. Anyway it was a pretty good experience on the whole. The coach said I had alot of improvement, but I still feel there are many areas that can be improved on. Looking at the video of me doing my routine made me realised that there is still lots that can be improved on. That's the spirit of wushu. When one does wushu, you have to be constantly learning and improving. There is never a perfect standard. There is always that much more you can learn and its a neverending process. One must constantly put in effort to strive to reach higher standards. Only then will you acheive true greatness, which very few people have.
