Back in Guangzhou!!!

咏春 Part One

Going for my last 咏春 class later.

):

(I am not exactly in the "blogging mood" so well... excuse me if this post goes random or anything.)

Havent been updating for a month and I totally missed out updating about my progress in 咏春 class. Or to be exact, it is not the progress that it counts, but the love for it and for the class.

I remember it was probably about one and a half month ago that I was introduced to 咏春, by my cousin. He came to my (another) cousin's office (where I worked in), and somehow he was talking about him needed to go for 咏春 class later at night.

In my head I was like... "What the hell is 咏春？“

Pardon me, I did not watch 叶问 then.

But you know, I was working and got nothing to do everyday other than work. No friends to talk to and no outings to go for. Was thinking of learning something new too. ( I even thought of learning dance so you can see how bored I was -.- Haha I know LRM is going to be very happy when she reads this -.-)

All I know about 咏春 then was that it is a kind of Kung Fu.

Days later my cousin bought me 叶问1 and 叶问2 DVDs. Then I knew what 咏春 is all about (:

I even went online to go research on 咏春 (you know me...).

Somehow I went with my cousin to my first 咏春 lesson.

First impression: all guys, and all older than me. (Except my 师姐 and her friend whom I did not know then)

Second impression: 师父 is so young -.- Like around 26 years old ba? I thought Kung Fu Shi Fu are always like above 40 one -.-

On my first lesson, there was a guy from I dont know where, came and 踢馆. Then 师父 was preparing to fight. Fought for about 5 min?

师父 won (:

Expect the unexpected

It has been a really long time since me updating this blog. Nearly one month. Readership has been going downhill, not that like I care.

The last post I had here was on 2nd June, and now it is already 29th June. On 2nd July, this Friday, I will be (back?) in Singapore.

Things have been packed, more or less. Things have been settled, more or less.

Anyone who has the experience of going overseas for a long period of time will be able to tell you that what really is important is not about the packing of whatever you need, but getting yourself in the right (mental) condition to prepare for whatever it is going in a foreign land.

Expect the unexpected.

There are way far too many differences between Singapore and China, or Guangzhou in particular. Many times, I have friends and relatives asking me which place is better, somehow they expect me to give them a definate answer.

My answer has always been "I dont know". And I mean it.

Why? It is just like someone asking you "Do you like your right hand or left hand more?", how are you going to answer that when you never thought of that question at all?

Singapore or China, they have special place in my heart. They mean difference things to me, yet they are both special.

I have a family which loves me dearly here in China, and I have friends whom I treasure so much in Singapore. I cant pick one. Though I know I can never have both at the same time. It is not easy for me.

It has been 10 years since I have been away from home. Every goodbye is still so hard for me to take. But at least I know that I am getting better - to take life as it is and treat everything calmly.

Baby Holga Micro 110

Just a short post to update cos I was halfway uploading photos from HK in another post, but photos are saved in office computer so gotta continue with doing that tomorrow.

When I feel like it.

I am writing this post with nothing in mind, so let's see how this will turn out to be.

It is still raining outside. Been raining since last night till now. ZZZ, not those heavy rain, but just wont stop -.- Ruin my chance of going out to check on the Baby Holga.

And talking about that, I AM SELLING BABY HOLGA + ONE ROLL OF 110 FILM FOR SGD $25!!!

I know you people are lazy so I have uploaded photos of this camera here -.-

 

 

Specifications:

Film Size: 110 cartridge, 12 or 24 shots

Focusing: Fixed Focus from 1m to infinity

Lens: 25mm, f/8 optical lens

Shutter: 82mm x 32mm x 34mm

Weight: 30g without film 

Ok maybe a lot of figure up there in the specifications do not make sense to you. It is ok haha, can ask me -.-

But actually, you dont have to know what the figures are for up there la. Just use the camera aim and shoot then ok already (:

Multi colours will be available but I still need to check with supplier for that first. So give me a few days to confirm.

Anyone interested please contact me. Email me or sms me or chat with me on MSN or FB or Twitter. Or just leave me a comment here in Typepad will do. Questions will be answered too.

Price can be lowered if I have large order, so if you are interested, go ask around see who else also want, then I can order in bulk.

Ok this post sounds so dead and point by point like that.

Honestly, it always amazed me by how each post can turn out when I have nothing in mind at first -.- It too amazes me whenever I begin writing something in mind and ended up talking about another thing -.-

Ok tired. Should go rest. But before that, there is a football match going on between Zimbabwe and Brazil (: World Cup is coming soonnnnnn!!! (:

Really gets me excited!
