神话 The Myth

USMKK 1st Chinese Cultural Night 2011/2012 << 神话 The Myth >> will be a wonderful memory in my uni life ^^. I had a very strong feeling after 4 months of practice with the wushu 1st year juniors. I felt the responsibility towards them, and towards the team. Watching them learn the moves really made me think of my team and myself a year back. The days when we practice till midnight, the days when seniors cooked/bought food for us, the days when we laughed and shed tears together, and the days when we get scolded and punished by seniors. What a wonderful memory... These wonderful days happened again this year, but this time we are in a total different position. We are the seniors now ^^... Teaching juniors is a new experience to me. I myself is not that good in sword, and yet I have to teach sword! Of course I did face many problems in between, but thanked God, He guided me all the way long. Thanked God for always putting someone beside me to help me. Especially my sifu, Agnes and Ong Ee... and of course, many thanks to my best partner, Jie Jun! I have learn a lot too while teaching them, and had developed a better relationship with my dear partner. Not to forget my two lovely sword daughters, Shuang Ying and Pei Ting. Both of you really made me proud.

Finally, 23/3/2012 has arrived and everyone was so nervous that night. The juniors were busy practicing, while some seniors were busy buzzing around the juniors, helping them to set their hair... While me, I'm busy make-upping in the room. Felt a little regret that I was not able to be by their side at that moment. 

When the drum team began their performance, my heart began to beat faster and faster. I felt so nervous and I started to pray. I prayed that everything will go well and smooth, I prayed for no injuries, I prayed for courage and confidence to fill them up. My nervousness became more intense when the moment they stepped their feet on the stage and the spotlights shined on them. Clapped and cheered for them as loud as I can and I just can't take my eyes off them. They are the shining stars in my eyes. Stars that made me felt so proud of. Without realizing, I felt my tears filling my eyes... The feeling at that moment was like being a mother, looking at her children performed on stage so well. They might be not perfect, but in my eyes, they are THE BEST! 

I knew that many will leave the team after this night, and there are some sadness deep inside my heart. I will not able to see all of them practicing together again, as some will just leave and will never come back. I really hope to see them again during practice and hope that they will appreciate the bonds between them. A bond and relationship that nothing could ever replace. Once again, I would like to congrats my dear children on their great job. You all deserve all the cheers, and I love you all ~ <3
