Today went to ShiGong's funeral, felt really honoured to pay the last tribute to him. Without him, there might not be wuxuan, neither will there be KaiYu sx and us, Bedok 4. However, really sad that the atmosphere wasn't there, I don't see many of SG disciples there where they supposed to be there, and also some of SG younger decedents were ignorant and rude. Esp one of my height, which I believe not the 3 years old I presume he is. He did not bow to his ancestor, neither bothered to pay his respect. On the other hand, I saw how much effort Lin Jiao Lian had demonstrated. Again I feel proud of our wuxuan, being not only a martial arts hub but a cultural and moral educational group. However, the biggest obstacles are parents, esp for the younger RV's, which forbid them to go due to reasons such as superstitions, prioritized their other programs, unsupportive, or just simple do not understand how bonded are we and how good of a place for character development.

RV talent night was great for one point, ChenXi's solo singing performances and the EMCEE!!! He's great, fit to be an emcee, he had the substance of becoming one, unlike our bds. However, I must agree with Francis that some performances lack emotion and conviction. Thus did not perform their best and bring out their best for the audience. A performer had to feel good to be there and let go of all psychological hindrances and constrictions. Another point is that they're all pop culture, thus many a times people vote because they like the song, which is in the current trend. This is a major obstruction for those real talents trying to deliver his best yet with an unpopular song. Well, that's one of society's foolish nature. Can't help it.
