Korean demonstration team

Yesterday, the korean demostration team came to toa payoh sports hall to give a performance on their TKD skills....and boy !! they were fantastic ....doing 3 kicks in the air, doing back flips in the air while breaking planks as well...whoo...i was sure that the people in the sports hall were just as as amazed and wow by their spectacular kicks ,turns and their precision on the target as i did.... they were so flexible that their leg could easily reach above their head level with 1 raise of their kicks.....and there was the apple smashing where they used an apple as a target and then using their kicks smashed it into bits n pieces ..perhaps as a souviener for the spectaculars...

Went with yueng choun to kayak today...went to the usual place at changi sports club...it has been 2-3 yrs since we been there...however the usual price of $7/hr had in fact balloned to $17/hr...wow...who will kayak for an hr for $17...and so we walked abt 3km to the PA sea sports club only to be told there was wind surfing there only...hmm....bedok reservoir came to our minds n we went there...yohoo...!!! there was kayaking over there...the charge were normal save for the water that werent salty....it kinda feels weird when u r normally kayaking in the sea...refreshed our skills and even had a race......the water stinks quite a lot...haha...i can smell it form my bag on the way back...

my fav team i in the amazing race : the gaghan family was eliminated last week..n since they were featured in the newspaper, i might as well talk a bit bout them..for ur info, the parents ran marathon n their 2 kids competeD5 km races..wow!! and the reason y i supported this team was becos throughout the race, the dad keep encouraging the kids to carry on, not to give up and even if they had lost..they were to told themselve that this was nothing to be ashamed of...inspirations words was perhaps wat keep this team going, supposingly the weakest team in the amazing race given their 2 kids....

And when they lost..my heart went out to them....with 2 kids in the team, manual tasks such as moving something heavy was disadvatagous for them..the fact that their mum took 45 mins to look for a red little bean among a sea of beans without giving up was commendable, simultaneously, this was also wat costed the gaghan family to lost the race...

A very meaningful phrase from the gaghan family..." winners never quit, quitters never win"

take care.
