Photohunters theme: Funky

photohunters2mo1

Based on the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary of Current English, meanings of funky is adjective US slang (of music) emotional and rhythmic, show fear; try to escape doing something because of fear.

Based on the above definition, I present this week’s post.

I took this pic during a visit by some Chinese gymnasts to my home town, Sibu. There was music (emotional and rhythmic) during the performance and the element of fear as they performed so high up. A fall could kill.

One of the gymnasts showed fear and as a consequence, the audience was especially fearful and held its breath during the whole performance. Little did we know the ‘fear’ was a put-on and repeated during all the performances to excite the audience further :)

The second pic is of my son , Benghui when he was younger, practicing his wushu while emotional and rhythmic music played. He loves to camwhore and by the time his wushu ( a form of martial arts) display was over, we were both on the floor wrestling and he was shrieking in delight. How I wish I had taken a video of that special moment when we were both so close :) I love my son :)

Happy weekend everybody. Thank you for coming.
