Still feeling suay...

Finally, i'm about 60% through my course, i have been complaining and sucking thumb all the way till here. 1 more month, and i graduate from the course. Looking forward to that.

Due to the lack of sleep, and being drench in the rain, i'm here sick again. Running nose...wonder whether i have a fever, pretty hard for me to detect slight fever, even at 37.7 degrees celsius, i felt normal. Pretty angry at what happen back at camp. Perhaps a culture shock? As it's the 1st time i ever slept only 1 hour, or rather the first time midnight oil is burned. Now my plans have been spoiled again and i'll have to postpone it.

Reach home at 1pm yesterday, then from 3.30pm slept to 6pm. Went to wushu later on, despite the illness, decided to train a little. Was doing well on "tan tiao". Didn't join in fully with the warm-up though. Taught Minyee da peng quan...she learnt about 75% of it already, up till now, hopefully can finish it before CNY comes. After that, starting to feel better. Shifu start teaching new things, me, AL, and JL was involved in a 3 man fight. I was initially the one guy, facing off with other 2, but later, the position was change to JL...don't know for what reason. Huiying was there when shifu start teaching us, and i fear myself accidently kena hit up badly by JL, as he was hot on fire.

There is a chinese teacher also here to teach "bei pie" things. Learnt about techniques on "tan tiao" from him, then later on, ask shishu to continue teaching me the hk jiu huan da dao. The rest think was learning some butterfly kick or something from the "bei pie" teacher. Finish learning the hk jiu huan da dao, and shishu also send me the video of the person teaching him the hk jiu huan da dao. Seems like some steps were missed out, but nevertheless, quite happy to learn finish, and have a video as a back-up in case i forgot. AL and JL will learnt a quan, also taught by the hk master to shishu. Shishu wanted to teach us quickly as he scare he forgot the moves.

About the "bei pie" things, i think the teacher might be coming regularly. I myself will not try to get involve too much. Reminds me on back then, when xiao lao shi comes. Perhaps the mistake he made was teaching too slowly. Even after 1 yr of teaching, i remember the 4 duan dao i learn, i only reach up to 70%. Besides, that time, i got a weak stamina, and after finish his training, left little energy plus little time to train up zhou jia quan. In the end, for 1 year, my development on zhou jia quan was slow, and thinking back, i felt that i wasted 1 year. 2nd thing is that, my body has become stiff, and it takes a damn long time to do well in "bei pie", or maybe i'll never do well in it. Maybe it's also because of age matters, as i learn them quite late in my teen life. 3rdly, i felt that their movements is not useful for combat fighting, unlike zhou jia quan, so prefer zhou jia quan.

If, this time round, i am asked to join the "bei pie" class, i will say no. Even with training on saturday, i find that time is not enough to let me practise finish all the quans i learnt in 1 training session. Besides, my interest is in zhou jia quan. Say one must learn to say "NO", even when you are force to do something.

Went home and slept at around 1.30pm.
