Float 2007

And so the day finally came where i was a part of the wushu segment of the KE7 float together with Irene, Kan Foong and Yannick. This year, i find the KE7 float concept very unique, the national stadium. i seriously cannot imagine a float based on that. The performance was also very unique, there was almost no dance in it at all, a very big risk taken. But still, they managed to pull it off.

Things i was pleased with:
1) This year's Rag Day committee is very good. Firstly they managed to bring Rag Day to the Padang after so many years. Secondly, they provided big and well sheltered resting points with fans and lights and changing rooms for the performers. Thirdly, they provided three large viewing stands with seats for the audience to watch the performance, so much better than the SRC ones.
2) Wushu is finally used for KE7 float after so long.
3) To have a small but good bunch of wushu atheletes to perform with.
4) Yuan Feng blaming me for not inviting him to join in for the Wushu segment, which means there could have been more Wushu atheletes to help perform for float! Zheng Hao is the other one whom i could have asked too.
5) All the encouragements from the alumni and seniors.

Things i wasn't so pleased with:
1) The stupid guy who was squatting in front of me when i was doing my sequence, blocking my cudgel movement and disrupting my whole momentum and routine.
2) Having only 3 bars of music for Wushu is simply too short a time to be spectacular. I could have choreographed better sequences given more time. Plus it is not shiok enough after the performance.
3) Being unable to do an air cartwheel when the time calls for it.
4) Having face paint and shiny sprinklers on my hair. It irritates my face and head, and i need to spend a lot of time to get rid of the paint and sprinklers.

Anyway, i do hope that Wushu can play a bigger role in next year's float. Last time Wushu wasn't used because there was simply no one who can do Wushu. However it's different now. The talents are slowly coming in. Time to utilize them!

Btw, to everyone who can help, please send me videos and photos for this event.
