Preparation for Chingay Booth and a horrible horrible dream.

I woke up very early morning on the 30th of January 2011. For Gekiken of course.


Took the train to Toa Payoh and da! I receive a sms that says should we change the time to 3pm since it's still raining cats and dogs? I immediately reply back I'm on my way there already. So the meeting time resume at 11am. That's a lucky break.

Reach there at 10:30am and gosh my foot really hurts. Blisters everywhere and the shoe I'm wearing simply don't help. My old blister wound is still not healing and it hurts. I whip out my camera and start taking random shots until I spotted Shun Jing - Actually, she spotted me first since I can't see a thing without my specs on.



Greeted her, then talk for a bit. Then Kelvin arrived. He introduced himself to me since I didn't really know him! He must have joined during the time I left to focus on studies. 


Then Jack arrived! We began briefing on the Chingay thingy. I shall not spill details here, but the one thing i can say is...


We are to fight in a 4m by 4m elevated stage.
THAT'S A SMALL SPACE!!! DANGEROUS!!!! Any of us who were use to moving around will find it hard to play.

When Greg arrived and others arrive too, we began practicing our footwork. Gosh it's tiring! Though it's raining and stuffs, I am actually sweating. Why? We're using our muscles to stand instead of the human skeleton. I can feel the cramp! BUT I PERSEVERED!!! 



Sparring starts of with Greg VS Me.
It's usually asking for death when you fight against Greg. He's the undefeated champion! But this is needed to improve myself. I challenged him with the standard short cross pike, and face off with him.



Results is shown.


Number of headshots Greg did to me - Too many times.
Number of times I fallen out of the ring - 10.
Number of times I hit Greg - 3.
Number of times Greg hits me - Too many times.


See the difference in skills there!?
I am utterly trashed! But I feel that I improved a lot too. Especially since I am holding my ground more longer than the usual hit and run tactics.


When home when everything ended and I guess the two hour long bus trip simply shagged me out.
Got so tired and I immediately fell asleep at 5pm.



I woke up at 10pm. The shock. E_E
Came online and stuffs then rot around watching SRW and Wolverine. LOL.
Then collapse to sleep. LOL.
And now here I am. LOL.


Oh yeah, regarding the dream.
It was bad, but I shall state it next time. This post getting too long!



Later~
