Hm....Just realized I havn't wrote anything in two days. Strange how it didn't seem so, I guess my life have been so routine in the past few days that nothing is reminding me that the day ended or a new day started. I've basically just worked, went to a meeting then went to Kungfu. Work: Ok, turns out my work doesn't end today, it ends on Friday, sort of. Apperantly my counting system is different from Rebecca's....oh well. Meeting: Went to this "Regent Park Revitalization" meeting yesterday night. Basically Regent Park is this run-down district of Toronto. The worst part of Toronto if you will. Although I don't live there (thank god), I am intrigued by the prospect of this project. Once completed, it probably will benefit Toronto as a whole. The meeting was actually kind of funny. Once the hosts started to ask the various opinions and suggestions of various ethnic groups, a guy from India(?) stood up and talked for the longest time without stop. Even when the host asked him to stop and give other groups a chance to speak, he still wouldn't stop. I guess he like public speaking a lot :D. The I was a big annoyed at the First Nation's group. The lady just kept reminding everyone that she is First Nations, and always make sure we don't forget that by constantly reminding us that she is First Nations in every single sentence. Ok, guess what lady, I don't care! People are people, we are all the same. Being a different ethnic group means nothing! I don't care if you are Chinese, Somalian, First Nations whatever. Don't constantly bring that up! If you want to be treated as equals, then start by viewing yourself as equals. Stop reminding everyone here that you are different! *ok, I'm gonna get some flame for that* Kungfu: I told the guys I have meeting today, and that I couldn't make it for practice. Alas, I still couldn't refuese the temptation, and went to the club anyways. It was fun, a bit of sparring with the guys. Bui and Adam showed up, and Bui's new haircut is butt-ugly. I'm focusing my practice primarily on TaiJi and XingYi principles and techniques these days. Also I need to work on my basic strength and speed exercies. I feel some of my techniques are not as clean and crisp as it could be. Gotta work on that.
