Today wushu was rather dead, but those training days feeling was there, which is really good, not so slack, more disciplined. So yes as I discussed with First Class, I think what we are doing now is merely taking over the baton form the senior circle, we arent thinking of progression yet, as such, at least for the "activities" part, we had came up with several "games" that could train certain areas of skills or physical training. I do term this as "games", but looks like the definition for First Class is different, though clearer. So the next step I think I would like to improvise the warm up part to inject in some life in it.

So then me and sheng went for lunch, then waited for Johann, and we proceeded to play bball, and then we talked... and talked... and talked... wow first time lasted so long in conversation with sheng so cool~! Haha. Yea, so then I was mentioning about the wheelchair bound lady, and then for a casual remark I remembered during childhood, while watching "Xi You Ji" (Journey to the West), I asked, why must heaven aid only when one is really in deep shit, great pains, so when life graph d2ydx2 is more than 0 (amaths differentiation terms means the minimum point). So sheng replied something sx mentioned long time ago, that perhaps the person up there had already a fixed number of "sufferings" that is just being distributed or concentrated to make the intensity of "blessings" increase or decrease, long run short run thingy. I remembered I thought of whether we have a huge "misfortune" that every deeds are to decipitate it.

So then not long ago, after watching the channel 5 show about confessions of crime, which is rather boring and common, so while im googling for jobs, I uttered unconsciously, amen, after thinking about the many unfortunate people Ive came across, stranger or not. So then this passage of Job in the bible showed up, wow speaking of hearing the voice. So I read up a little, get a summary of it, and cool, looks like a relevant source to read up, though its rather long, just take it as another literature text I guess, heard of the story, but now shall look deeper into the words.

Oh yea, during wushu jiaolian was telling about the olden days lion head, about the centipedes, clouds, bat, pearls, teeth, and the eyes that swivel left right and not fixed on the front like modern crap lions, which even included a snake on the head, with no logic haha. He mentioned about the olden days disputes settled on lion dance as well, the fighting lion, which includes spear heads on horns and tails, blades on the rim of mouth and leggings, thus the fierce and widespread leg patterns.

Cool culture, liek its a lost tradition that will never surface anymore. And I think these cultures gotta use the snowball research techniques to find out, which the internet cant reach out that far. Asian culture, usually passed on verbally, no publicized journals or whatsoever, thus often lost very fast, just like how hours long ceremony of lion dance could be shortened to an hour or so, with limited knowledge, if not complete ignorance, on the traditional zhen formation and to cai the veg.

Then there's this youtube video, om Feeds Family On $4 Dollars a Week, really cool, I was expecting someone that uses debts and such tricks to circulate and somehow end up with 4 bucks expenditure, yet the lady merely uses coupons that she have searched for hours, and able to pay off 267.23 bucks worth of shopping goods for a cent~!!!! Wow, only available in US, here in sg, everything will have terms and conditions, even first customer will need to purchase to enjoy privileges. Though US had quite a complicated society and lifestyle, but these "policies" and such made people liek these possible, ultimate saver~!!! Feeding a family of 6 spending $4 a week~!! And the one previously having 10s of kids with age gaps of 20 years old or something, surviving on benefits from government only~!!! Really crazy! In sg, its either donation or charity, connections, community, cuz nothing is free in singapore. As we always joked with Marco, in sg, even gettign a girlfriend needs first and foremost, MONEY, no MONEY no HONEY, dont even care how pretty or charming, or kind or intelligient or patient or romantic.

Right, thats all, only possible regret is that I supposed to plan to take my family to Alexander Road, yet was talking till I forgot the time, so we didnt go in the end, and also that the laksa I cooked dried up so they couldnt really taste the laksa soup but just noodles with laksa flavouring....... sigh.....
