6 months? I wish i could

On Saturday I went for morning training at Farrer Park boxing gym. There I busted my shoulder and it really hurts big time! Because of my inability to train, I decided to sit down have a chat with my boxing instructor. Don’t know how we came upon the topic of training in Thailand. Alvin (my instructor) was telling us about himself and his fights all over the world. He talked about the training he went through at a young age of 18.

How he felt like a champion when he fought and won fights.

I guess only athletes could know this feeling… the feeling of winning something. Winning something that you took so long to train for. I spared before… and when I win certain matches, I feel a sense of glory and honour!

I know I know… you guys want to say that I’m full of myself. But seriously speaking, the feeling of knowing that you won someone is seriously great. Coming back to the topic of training in Thailand. Alvin was saying that if I were to go to Thailand for 6 months, I would return to Singapore as the best fighter.
He said, “I guarantee you that you will return as probably the best fighter… you will be good… guarantee chop chop.”

For a moment, I imagined myself standing in front of a crowd cheering for me… wow! The thought of winning just overwhelmed me… I really wanted to go to Thailand to train. But if I really were to go to Thailand to train for 6 months, it would mean that I have to fight there to earn money to support my training. Performing Wai Kru before a fight to pay homage to my parents and master. The Mongkol placed on my head before a fight… wow…
Imagine… winning!

I guess going there for 6 months was impossible because I still got my studies, parents and other financial factors to consider… but hey, at that moment of imagination… it felt great…

Like there is a song for this…
“Dreams are my reality”
I can only dream… for now…
