Day 7
Had our last breakfast at the Shen Zhen’s Di Hao hotel then we set off to Hong Kong in the afternoon. We were “stuck” at the customs for so long because all the “Nei Di” people all going to the competition as well. Lucky, due the the organizer’s effort in making going through custom easy. I am not sure how but we were given a special route to go to Hong Kong but of course, we still have to go through the custom.. Haha.. I remember it is so tiring because we have to pull our luggage up and down.. I really mean up and really down…. Reach Hong Kong and we took their MRT to “Da Xue” station before we were taken to the Hotel by their shutter bus service.

Day 8-12
I can’t believe I am summaring all into 1 whole section because I forget what happen there… eh… I just remember it is so tiring. I have to do Chang Quan followed by Spear then Sword that day WITHIN 20 minutes!!!! Thats one of the bad point of the competition but I am so surprised that other people aren’t tired when they are also doing 3 routines in such a short time.

Results of Wufang’s Male Athlete
Hao Meng: 2 golds
Jun An: 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Guo Hong, 1 Gold, 2 Silvers.

I got gold for my spear and silvers for my quan and sword.

We went to “Wang Jiao” and walk. Its so much fun there and the things there are quite…. cheap and expensive. The shirts are all so unique. I wish I have bought more money there to buy shirts… sigh..

There is a wushu performance by the organizer and a few team like the Philippine team performed a skit on the last day before the whole event closed. Our team also won the 1st runner up overall champion in our category.

Reached Singapore at around 11pm.

Day 3
2nd day of training in Shen Zhen and this is the first day we saw the Shen Zhen Ti Gong’s wushu team. We were informed that we are unable to use all their carpet because The Shen Zhen’s team is coming to train on Monday. ( Only on Monday ). We didn’t have our morning run though and we took taxi to the training ground. I still remember, Coach Zhou and her team was the first to take taxi there and Coach Xue with us are the last team yet we are the first team to arrive there while Coach Zhou was the last team to arrive. This is the first time we see them training. They have a 11 year old girl.. She does Nan Quan and she is doing well for her age. We were all quite amazed by what she can do. Had our morning training and had a VERY VERY VERY bad lunch. It just sucks.. Had our second training in the afternoon before we return back. I remember we were playing soccer as to warm up ourself.

Day 4
3rd Day of training in Shen Zhen. We resume our morning run because we are so restless during breakfast yesterday. The run seems like shorter and the weather not as cold anymore. Perhaps, we have already get used to the weather. We only have one training today and I remember the training was quite bad because we were really too tired already. In the afternoon, we went back to hotel to have a rest while some went elsewhere. We then went to “Dong Men” at night. It was so cold there at night. I bought some keychains, shoes and handphone thingy. We have had a good night sleep.

Cut my hair

Guo Hong — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:57:30 +0000

My hair was super long and messy before I cut it today. I totally have no time to cut them latey… or maybe I am too lazy to cut. Haha…. Damn paisey lor… first time cut hair at a salon that i never went before… i always cut at the uncle there or at the auntie that I always go with Hong Wei… Went to an unknown place today…

Went in and the lady ask, “cut hair ar?”
I was thinking, ” obviously, if not i go salon buy food ar?”
I said, “Yea.”

Anyway, hair cutting session started.. it was damn long la.. but anyway happy with the result of my hair.

When my hair was cut, the radio was playing a song and the chinese lyrics goes like “Cry, cry, cry” and some of the hair that the lady cut drop on my nose and make it sensitive….=.=… i cried…. OMG…Still, conclusion, I like my hairstyle. haha

Saw Mark Lee today at Newton Food Center when we went to eat after wufang training. Mark Lee was with his wife and talking to Coach Vincent and then he went off.. He was tall and actually quite handsome. haha I actually quite respect him and his master, Jack Neo. Both of them “break things” (“突破”) for Singapore. Singapore need more people like them.

OMG, my routine I do sucks today lea… how to compete like that… stamina also went down…. Thanks a lot…. sigh… doing all 3 routines at RP tomorrow… hope all will go well and I better wake up.
