yesterday was a looong but interesting day ! the National wushu display took place there n danming n i were given the dubious honour of escorting n watching over orchid park sec ... they were gonna perform n we were tasked to help coach make sure their show runs smoothly ... i gotta pay 10 bucks to do tt somemore ... was sorta reluctant at first cos sat was a really gd day to do nth , or sth else at least ... n i really juz wanted to watch the performance n relax n nt bother bout ath at all ... but it as it turned out , im happy i got arrowed ...
The main reason tt overwhelmed everything else was tt i got to watch at the rehearsals ... most of the teams were great then but sorta floundered during the actual performance ...which made watching the rehersal better ! most ple did nt performance as well during the actual , especially the china team's 2nd performance ... it was totally shitty ... they have the skills n capabilities but guess they were too nervous ... prob a rookie team ... their eagle n mantis performances were worse off then some singapore ple . .they could nt bring out the realism or the creatures in their rountines ... even so , they put a rather gd performance wif their stunts n weapon handling ... the flips n aerial stunts were impressive ! the spear, jiu jie bian n sparring ( bare hands against 1 spear n 1 sword !) scenes were great ! the silat team put up a gd performance ... prob one of the better ones .. the indian one was ...um ... controversial ?! didnt understand .. the team from penang was rather interesting ... ever seen someone using a chair as a weapon ? their zhou clan spear also nt bad ... the hong kong team performed with military picks and fans... someone even did a one (left) armed swordplay( for the handicapped ... ). singapore's own taji n baji masters also joined the fray ... a sad part of the display was tt most of the teams were from singapore ... i came in with the 'impress mi ' attitude but it turned into a 'don depress mi ' attitude when i saw the schedule ... its really dumb ! y shld i pay money to watch singapore teams ( ie. schs n community centres ) perform when i can watch better performances at the annual comps ? but then again ... its prob juz a stepping stone to increase awareness for wushu ... more schs join = more publicity ... n it seems catered to those who don really noe wushu ...
glad to say though .. OPSS did rather well tt day ! great performance though got some flaws here n there mainly cos the sound system was blasting onto the perfomance stage ... met quite a few ple there ... xin yi, xue li n ivy .. didnt expect to c them ... my ususal wushu gang were there too ... junhao, juncheng, bingling , yingzhen ... benny came too ! most of the gang left juz before the finale ... it was a luminous dragon performance ... really great to watch but gets stiffy after they have been showing for every display ... afterwards coach brought me , jh n bl to geylang for some durians ! yum ! supposed to go home but everyone suddenly got craving ... by the time we reached home tink was already 12 plus ... tired after spending one whole day at indoor stadium ... Zzzzzz...
