White belt yellow-tip Grading

Hi there. I thought I would just write once about my grading because it's important to me. Anyway, I felt I could have done better... I screwed up the last part. Before "forward command" for the basic kick test, there was supposed to be another "zero thrust" and I forgot all about it and was stunned there for a while!!! Oh well, not too optimistic about that double promotion I was hoping for but this time, I got more than I bargained for because I met many new friends and I learnt a bit of sparring, you know... extra and more advanced which made me feel useful. Oh and the taekwondo pledge again!! I believe I wrote it down before? Well, I can remember it... roughly but I guess that is not bad.

Ok.. well, when we were leaving Bukit Panjang CC on the bus, HC mum came to give her some bread and she was so touched she cried. So touching. Well, I hope my parents can do that for me too but I understand they are busy and already trying their best to accomodate and raise us four kids in the family. Hmm... it's a pity YT fell sick and got 7 days MC from the doctor.... she couldn't go for the grading and just when she managed to get a double promotion from yellow belt to green belt the other time. >.< Well, i would say I had fun too. On the way back to the CC, we were like telling all sorts of lame jokes and blah blah. Oh the MILLION bus company!!! Haha :D We came up with all sorts of weird reasons as to why it is called "million bus". 1) It is the millionth bus manufactured. 2) It is a bus that can hold up to a million people. 3) It is a bus that costs a million dollars. And I also made this remark that I would like a million dollars because there is "me" in it. Tree like a "treellion" dollars and the government, a billion dollars because of all the "bills" LOL XP. Anyway, instructor Ben made a remark that one of the girls in white belt failed!!!! I hope it's not me.... he added that the person did not say whether that girl is in white nine or white ten... well, he's known to pull our legs but I'm not sure.... what if he meant it at that time??...

Well, to sum it up...

Taekwondo Grading
White belt yellow-tip

Date: 4th October 2009 (Sunday)
Venue: Toa Payoh Sports Hall
Time: Left CC around 12.45pm and came back around 3.40pm

Well, nites for now till exams are over!!! Oh no, I did not manage to write this post on the actual day of the grading again... Sad, huh?

This is it...

This is it... the last post... that is until after EOYs end. And to add to it all. I will also not play facebook or even sign in until I have finished all my exams 'cos I wanna study hard. :) Well, I have been sick (fever at 38.5 degrees) since Sat... My fever ended yesterday (Mon) but I still have a sore throat. Anyway, my Sept holidays were quite good. Did quite a lot of packing up and slacked a lot so I guess I have to start taking things seriously now. Also, after my fever and being sick for about 3 days (and counting...) I realized that there were so many things I wanted to do and could have done so if I were better so I just wanna say that this is it... for now. This is goodbye. Aloha!

Paradoxical wisdom

Hi there. Just want to write something short. I was just watching a video created by RGS OSL Cambodia 2007, Michelle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yKl8JyKZOo&feature=fvw
And I want to quote from it... because it's meaningful :)

"The paradox of our time in history is that... we have more conveniences but less time; more knowledge, but less judgment; taller buildings but shorter tempers; more experts, yet more problems... We laugh too little, get too angry; read too little, watch TV too much; stay up too late, get up too tired... and pray too seldom. We've learned how to make a living... but not a life."

Hope this has been interesting! Be sure to watch the video because it is a featured video on Youtube! So cool right? :D

LIFE IS A BIG PARADOX
