Well, as u would know by now, i was a fan of kung fu movies when i was younger (i still am). I especially love the Cantonese TVB period drama serials that we get to watch on VHS. I love the special effects (although primitive by today’s standards)… Laser beams seems to shoot out of their palms, index finger and their pinky (seriously!). Red, blue or green colored lightning beams.

I was thinking, “Wow, Kung Fu masters those days are really powerful… i wonder if i can develop that “Qi” too?”

In my previous blog, i talked about playing RPGs back in school… i was doing it even when i was in kindergarten. I remember having 2 guys and a gal whom i see as my mortal enemies - cos they seem to bully or look down on me. (For the life of me, i can’t remember their names.) I was always looking for ways to get back at them.

So one night, not able to get any sleep, i got up and thought of some neat kung fu move to impress them with tomorrow. I thought of a spinning top or cyclone so i invented the “Cyclone Move” - where i stretched out both my arms and spin around on one foot - much like a cyclone.

I was really pleased with my own brilliance and i got back to bed, excited about what i would conjure up tomorrow.

Well to put a long story short, i confronted them and decided to show them who’s boss. I got one one feet and started spinning around like a top. After i was done, dizzy as i was, i looked up to see 3 pairs of widely-opened eyes, with mouths agap. They were impressed - NOT!

I was the laughing stock of my kindergarten class for a while.

*sigh*
