Performance @ Hong Lim

Another Saturday activity after the cooking class.

Went back home immediately to take my spear and head on to Hong Lim Park (Not to go there to protest though!!!). I am going to my first solo public taichi performance ever! Guess winning Gold medals in the recent National Wushu Championship did bring some recognition to my hardwork.... oops.. praising myself. Though able to win in the competition did fulfill one of my dreams. The competition, however, had so much controversial debates in it that I shall not discuss!! Worth it or not, I agreed to my teacher's request to perform this time by not going to watch my FREE A-Mei concert!!

Well, there is a first time for everything, so just go for it. I only got to know the performance schedule on spot and.. gosh.. I'm in performance number 64!!! It is a martial art night organised by the Telok Ayer CC to promote Chinese culture. They invited 10 diffferent martial art organisations to showcase various style of Chinese martial arts. Most of them are external martial art, guess it kinda more interesting than seeing all taichi right?

Well, I went there too early without having dinner thinking that my small meal in the cooking class can last for awhile. After knowing I'm number 64, I better have my dinner first. So after dinner I went back to enjoy the performance while anxiously waiting for my turn. Well, I can say not all of the performance are great. Some look like they were just practicing their routine aimlessly and unwillingly. So dissappointing, didn't they realise and appreciate that few hundred people were out there watching them?

Things cock up though during my turn. My fellow mates were before me performing 'da dao'. The MC did not realise that I had not went my turn and she started to annouce the next group immediately my fellow mates finished. Lucky I had not walked out of the backstage or I will be so malu!!

Actually by the time I went out to perform, half the audience were already left (its nearly 10pm!). Still nervous, just do my routine and hopefully nothing went wrong and don't drop my spear!! Ok, it went well and applause is the best reward man.

And how I did I went home with my long spear??

Till next time.... :)
