Phew~! Finally can sit down and blog. I just want to talk about yesterday's IVP'07 Selection. Nothing much, didn't want to go for the selection actually. Totally got no faith, no drive. But its very tempting though. So I went to weigh in. I'm only 41kg!!!!! So light, suppose to be fast and full of energy but I feel like dying yesterday. Trashed like a piece of waste paper. So wasted..inside out, upside down. I never felt so tensed up in sparring before..I want so much to cry that time! I, a mear brown belt, fought against a experienced black belt.
Anyway, like this lor. Chatted and slacked. WK asked me if I want to train for the nationals. 3 days training per week. I don't know man..NATIONALS!! I never gone on tkd competition before, I'm so lack..lack of so much.
Jun Jie just sent me the link of this video..kind of touching. I want hugs!!

How it all started:
I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.
Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.
So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.
And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.
Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.
