“Tien Ti in our hearts”……la la la la…..

You know for the past one year or so, I have posted 368 clips over at youtube, mainly MAs related.

And in some of my clips, I love to add songs by Zhuang Xue Zhong because this is one singer who specializes in singing “feel good to be a Chinese” pop songs.

He even does Kung Fu song; like this latest one I just posted.

For those of you who understand Mandarin, you’ll find that the lyric is, really, a string of CKF concepts and attitude.

I especially love the line before the end of the clip:-

“Using both hard and soft, we are not going to bow down. Tien Ti (heaven and earth) in our hearts!”

Eeerrh, do you think youtube will write to me for “wasting” bandwidth?

Time to check out sino.com…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do it my way…

Contrary to fallacious popular belief, I do “work” for a living.

Maybe not in the conventional 9 to 5, show up in the office and blah blah blah….

I spend a big chunk of my time working with translators to get many  old CKF materials converted into English.

Working on 2 at the moment; a Wing Chun book and another talking about CKF in SE Asia in the last 50 – 100 years.

At the same time, the company wants to publish another highlighting Chinese culture in Sarawak so there’s much raw materials acquiring to be done. Not restricted to CKF, the book also needs a proper historical perspective regarding the diasporas of various Chinese dialect group into this part of Asia.

And to do a qualified job, we need to work with anthropologists and folks in the local museums etc….and these folks could be so intense!

Then there are the clan associations and the CKF masters invited to contribute in the book…work work work….

In fact yesterday, another wet soggy one, we visited a Hakka master in his village and scouted the area for an intended outdoor photo shoot session. Found this nice little hilltop temple that is just so suitable…and did I mention it was raining when this task was being carried out? Come next week, we will have a fully loaded schedule moving around interviewing CKF masters, Chinese musicians, folks in traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese cooking, temples etc etc… and I bet it’s still going to be raining…

Also twice a week, I ran a small CKF class to train some of the staff in the office. All total novices, they’re at the “crawling” phase but their enthusiasm is really encouraging and at this early stage, I work to keep training “fun”… so no 3 stars knocking or doing San Chin until you turn blue in the face….yet….

So do not let it be said that I don’t “work” for a living …. I am simply doing it “My Way”…..

The pics show 4 baby cranes learning to flex their wings…..
