Ok... finally free to write all I want now... Just came back from Yunping & Qing Cheng's wedding dinner @ Orchard Parade Hotel. Quite a wedding with cartoon theme feel it it! Haha wish you guys Zao Shen Gui Zi!

Ok it's like 4 days since I've came back from NTU's IVP Camp. Made quite a lot of new friends & re-affirmed the friendships of some old ones. Learnt quite a lot as well. Now I understand why they can do so well @ IVP every year.

Basically I missed the entire first day! Due to work loh... what to do... Reached at night to find them dining and chatted with them... Can't rem much abt the "first day" though... Oh oh, got the pattern session by Audrey. Haha everyone like so dead cannot stretch anymore... Haha! Crapped with them before going to sleep...

Next day, a visit to the West Coast Park! Did a round of the park (ok... small small one nia...) then proceeded for warmups, simple kicks and something I've not done in a long time... Rubberband training! Whoosh... damn xiong... damn knee hurting like mad after it... Then it showered for a while, so we just crashed at Macdonalds. Split up to different shelter areas to do more kicks & share with them some thoughts on doing kicks & sparring. Rehearsed for the skit as well... Back to the school it was more training & stuff. Different stations different kicks & stuff. Some sparring with Ashlyn ended up getting more & more bruises. But hey... no pain no gain! The skits were like so irritatingly hilarious lah! Haha!

Final day! Soo Yee took training in the morning after a meal of 2 hotdog & buns & tea... (Damn full...) Kicked here & there, with Celestine slamming my face and making my teeth bleed... Damn... gotta find a way to evade those slamming kicks... After which they revealed the proceedings for afternoon's events: Simulated IVP Sparring Competition~! Yay~ Ok ended up being referee for a lot of matches but I needed the revision... So it's ok. Coached a few others too, namely William (You are doing fine!), Marissa (another terror soon to be unleashed... ), and some others. Though some people felt they didnt spar well, I would say this again: Try harder then! It's ok! I mean everyone IS tired after 4 days of camping mah... So don't be so harsh on yourself!

Xiao Qi ended up not coming (my scheduled opponents... Thanks ah Edmund... Grrr....) then Guo Xiang ended up facing me with Kelvin as my coach. Again one of the best fights I've ever done! Haha... Think I found the confidence to train again. Lost the round 5 - 3 (I was told they never seen me fight like that before... Haha Thanks! Also some points were nt recorded. It's ok lah)

All in all it was a good camp, with much learnt & I also shared with them some of my thoughts on TKD as well. Good job guys!
