@ 3:43 PM
Went to watch the 8th National Wushu Display at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Met Jaryl, Hao Meng and his girlfriend at LJS at MacDonald house. Then we went over to the Cathay to walk around and also wait for Jun Jie, Ren Zoe, Jie Kai and Samuel. Saw Ye Huei there who had to manage some event thing there. Made our way to Parklane to play CS. Ronnie joined us shortly after. I left first to meet Adalia who totally don't know how to get to the indoor stadium. Upon reaching Kallang, saw a lot of people. Cheng Qian and Xing Yan with the SP wushu people. Wanted to take bus there but too many people and the waiting time for the bus was long so we cabbed there. Upon reaching, saw Bing Han, Li Jun, Danielle and Colin. We entered the stadium first. Found our seats and we were just on time for the starting. The introduction was a little boring. First up was the Lion Dance performance. Every display also the same thing, just different organization. After that was the performance by Sino wushu. Not too bad. Cant really remember the sequence for the other events. There was Shaolin performance, Taijiquan performance, exponents from China Emei Wushu and China Wushu Association. I was quite impressed by the performance by the Wudang Taoist Kung Fu Academy. Also there were performance by the China Coaches who are teaching in Singapore. One of them did their routine and the spear head broke off. As usual, the event ended with a dragon dance performance.
After the display, some of us wanted to eat. Me, Adalia, Si Pei, Guo Hong, Ronnie and his friends, Ren Mao walked from Singapore Indoor Stadium to Suntec City while halfway in between, Ronnie's friends went another way. Reached Suntec City and it was like 11.30pm so we decided not to eat and we all managed to catch the last train to leave City Hall. Took all the way to Pioneer and me, Adalia and Si Pei went to have our dinner at a nearby hawker center. Reached home at 1.30am.
