Busy Saturday(2/2)

Part 2, touching on wushu issues.

Alight from taxi...and run over to the training ground. Taxi fare...$8.80. SianzZz...Never mind, even if i have to drive, i wouldn't reach AMK(Ang Mo Kio) that fast.

I reached there training ground. Seems like group training is already underway. Had to rush through my warm-up and join them. Was in time for the practice of "bian da quan".

Went down to take weapons after that, and start the practising of my shuang dao. After practise, got 2 cuts on my forearm, 1 cut on the elbow. Manage to complete the routine, but was already shag out. Need more stamina, need more flexibility on my wrist, and need more forearm and wrist powers.

Around 2245hrs, had a talk with shishu, yao de's mum and dad and xinge. Was talking about about NS stuff. Then after that, touch a bit on relationship stuff. Yao de's mum ask whether i have gf, I say no. Then she ask whether i had a crush on any of the girls in wushu class. I say nope...Hahaha...

Later, shishu talk to me about some other things. He ask, whether did i maintain contact with other wushu friends. And even ask whether i have an affection for Xinge...>_<

He even ask about our well-being...and told me about why he wanna know our well-being. He said that he don't want to only teach wushu, but care of our well-being. 1stly, our well-being affects our training morale during training. If we are dealing with troubles, we won't have the heart to train well.

An example was given by him: Once, there's a student who had relationship problems with his family. So, he always stay out from home, always returning late at home. At that time, the student's also interested in wushu, and was practising "jiu jie bian". But no matter how he practice, the family problem thing appear in his mind, and he couldn't concentrate well. In the end, the student approach Shishu for advice on how to settle his problems. At the recent competition, the student saw Shishu, and thanks him for the advice and wanna treat him for tea. Besides that, the student was ranked no. 1 for his "jiu jie bian". Shishu told me that it's because after solving his family problem, he had no more troubles and can concentrate fully on his training.

That's why, he wanna know more about our well-being. Especially he knows i'm maintain contact with others, he wants me to help them out if they are dealing with problems, as a friend, and as a senior. And if i can help them solve it, i'll approach shishu. Like what happen to Ji Liang 3 weeks back.

He also told me about commitments of the students. He and, ah bui shi shu, and shifu are alld evoted to train their students well. And of course, the students could one day quit the training, due to reasons of being lazy or mis-time-management, which in the end, they say they are busy. Shishu say he's disappointed as he gave his all in teaching, but in the end, his efforts become a waste. he told me that it's this reason that he didn't teach wushu for 16 years until recently, think 7 years ago, when shifu got the green light to open wushu class at Ang Mo Kio, he invited shishu back. I hope i won't be a disappointment to him, and hope that any of us students won't be a disappointment to him as well. 16 years...reminds me of the yang guo and xiao long nu story...lol

If possible, maybe can set up a gathering at december to improve relations. That's what shishu also hopes to see. He recommend that too...lol...Maybe i'll oragnise an outing this december, after i POP...maybe a trip to Sentosa or East Coast, or kbox? or..................
