I just checked the statistics of this blog and I want to say "Welcome" to the readers from Russia, Denmark and Malaysia as well as all my other readers. I would like it if you have not done it yet, please click "follow" if your computer system allows that.
Today I planned to go shopping with Gram and Kjetil in town today. Our plan was go to Muping and go to the weapon shop, post office, supermarket, massage, and dinner.
I wanted to go to the weapon shop because I am looking for 6 meter wraps for boxing. I have 3 meter ones which are ok but Master Gou said the 6 meter ones are better. Couldn't find any. I will look in Yantai next weekend for some.
Then we went to the post office. Kjetil wanted to mail stuff home. I also want to mail some things back for the holidays so I checked out the shipping prices. for a 15kg box, its 300y by boat or 900y by plane. Plane takes about a week. Boat takes a MONTH. looks like I can't afford to ship presents back home.
On the way back to the taxi I saw a small pen shop. I looked inside to see if they had any caligraphy stuff. Luckily they had some so I bought more caligraphy supplies. (Hey! Maybe when I get good at calligraphy I can ship that home as a gift?) Comment below if you would like me to send you one.
Then we drove to the supermarket. Before we went in we stopped by the tailor to pick up grams pants. I saw the cutiest puppy. (I took a picture and when the internet is better I will post.)
Then went to supermarket to buy some breakfast supplies and any kind of shelf so I can organize my room a bit more. While i was looking two little kids saw us and was staring at gram, kjetil, and I. We saw kids and kjetil said "Ni Hao." No response. Then Kjetil sang a chinese kid song he learned from Mandarin class and once he started singing the two kids started mouthing the words like they knew the song too. I thought that was pretty cool.
After we shopped we went to massage place. Kjetil and I got massages while Gram talked to the owner who is a Doctor at the near by hospital.
I asked him what they where doing because HE began to massage HER. He told me he gets lessons from her. So I asked the Doctor if she could teach me. She agreed and will teach me on weekends.
Then Gram invited the doctor to dinner with us and the doctor took us to a near by dumpling resturant. The food was amazing. This was Grams last time he would see the doctor because he leaves this weekend. It was a nice goodbye dinner.
Then home.
Monday
Woke up later than usual. Had to speed clean then help Jospeh sweep the training hall. I missed last week and a bit of this week because when I got down there it was practially finished so I told him to stop by my room. When he came by I gave him a small jar of nutella to say sorry that I bailed on him twice and I felt bad...plus I dont want to be punished by shifu.
During the morning run it was freezing cold. The weird thing was the Sun was out, the sky was blue, but my face felt like it would have froze if I didnt have my face mask. I saw an iceicle longer than my hand on the water faucet by the dining hall.
Then morning class was fun. Practiced and learned more moves to my sparring form.
Today there was grading after second class so we would not do condiditoning today but we still did chi gong. Before we started class we ran a bit because Shifu said to warm up. He even ran a bit with us. Then we did moving chi gong instead of standing and meditating. We had to do stances and jumps and different movements but I did not feel cold at all which was good.
The grading was basics so i could not grade since I graded all my basics. On the 15th of this month is the regular grading so I will grade my wing chun form. Then we had lunch and break.
The afternoon class was baji and I learned more moves to that form as well. Unfortunetly I have a long way to go till I am close to finishing the form.
After class i went upstairs and started to watch the movie karate kid with Matt. After a while, we paused the movie and went to dinner.
Talked to Joseph last week about the workout he does with Phillip after dinner every day. They invited me to workout. It was really fun we had to do 50 jumps onto 8 stacks of pads which reached the top of my abs.
Then on 3 pads jump 25 time on one leg. Twice on both legs. Then 50 jumps with two feet but without bending the knees.
Once we finished we stretched. Jospeh has a stretch routine that helps with the splits. the routine is stretching each muscle indiviually. Phil just does each splits and holds it for three minutes. I chose to stretch with Jospeh.
After that, Jospeh was waiting for Phil to finish so they can practice a form so I said "while waiting, lets do abs". He didn't want to and instead we agreed we would do abs on Thursdays but since he was still waiting i talked him into trying the Stomach exercises today. I showed him my abs curcit that I usually do back home. 50 leg lifts. 50 leg climbs. 50 scissors. 50 bicycles. 50 sit ups to the knees. By the time I finished my first 50 leg lifts he didnt want to do it anymore. Said it was painful and an "evil" work out. He gave up but said i can create an 'evil workout' for thursday and he will do it. I plan on making it the hardest workout ever. Once i finished the rest of my abs i then did 30 push ups on finger tips to knuckles then 20 push ups on nails.
I went upstairs and on the way i saw Matt so i told him lets finish the movie.
Finished the movie and going to bed.
goodnight,
-Scott
