Demo Performace For Old Folks
Today I had my first Taekwondo Demo performance in the public. It was for the elderlies at an old folks home called AWWA. The AWWA was having a Christmas celebration organised by our school NTU Welfare Service Club. A friend of us, Jit Woon, who is serving in the welfare club, had asked us if we would do a performance as a part of the Christmas celebration programs for the elderlies. Being a good-hearted and kind person as always, (at least I'm haha), we gladly accepted the request. At the celebration, we've seen a lot of volunteers that took their time off holidays and weekends just to come down to celebrate Christmas with the elderlies, it was a heart-warming sight indeed. There were volunteers dressed up as Snow "Woman", Reindeers, Santa Claus, and even have people dress-up as a turkey (loll) to create the festive vibe, and there were also fantastic programs planned out, like Chilo Solo, Skit, Limbo Dance Game, Guitar Ensemble and of course, our legendary Demo Performance hahaha, to keep the elderlies entertained throughout the afternoon.
We were nervous and had little mistakes here and there during the performance, but it's okay, it's natural, because honestly we did not have much time to prepare for the whole performance. Howeverrr, the response coming from the crowd was unexpectedly overwhelming! We could see that they were really amazed and amused at our plank breaking performance and the applauses were thunderous! I guess it could possibly be their first time seeing so much actions going on in any of the performance ever in the history of their time in the old folks home, haha ok I'm exaggerating. But the point is that we hyped up the atmosphere and really brought joys to the elderlies, and that's what's most important.

So there were Jin Ting (Demo Chief), Matthew (Ex-Demo Chief), Yi Dan (Assisting Demo Chief) and me (Logistic Officer, seems quite irrelevant but still did a good job) took part in the performance, here's the video:
And a special thanks to Kai Lin, for coming down to support us and taking video for our performance! Thank you Kai Lin!
Here's a picture of the day:
