sec sch memories

today i made a trip to my alma mater to watch the inter-sch wushu competition.

so many years had passed since my days as a sch team wushu athlete... during my days the wushu competition is organised solely by singapore national wushu federation. right now the competition is recognised by MOE as a core sport, so both MOE and SNWF work hand in hand to organise the yearly wushu competition. can see the difference compared to the past, for example the electronic key-in and tabulating of marks.

when i was watching the students competing, a sense of nostalgia overcome me. last time i was like them, giving all out, executing every stroke with strength, beauty and precision, just to achieve glory for myself, and also for the school. and last time, i nv have the opportunity to compete at my home ground. we always have to go to other schools or toa payoh sports hall to compete. now chung cheng is recognised by MOE as the niche school in wushu, so the competition is being held there every year.

wushu is getting more and more popular in singapore, and more schools are having wushu as a cca. and so there is more branding of wushu. for example i saw this guy wearing their sch's wushu tee, the left side of the tee is the logo, and the right side of the tee is CAPTAIN. wassup man.

wushu lies in my blood. even though i nv practise for very very long, even though dance has kind of replaced wushu in my current life, however i will nv nv forget that my roots come from wushu. wushu has shaped wat i am today, wat i am as a person.

as wat 叶问 said: "武术虽然是一种武装的力量,但是我们中华武术,是包含儒家的哲理,武德, 也就是仁,推己及人"

couldnt agree more than that.

ok enough of the feelings, here are some pics of my beautiful sec school with the lake (yes typical blogging style again i noe):
