had kendo mock tourney last nite. was pretty interesting, learnt lots of stuff like how to chart the points, announce the names of the competitors, tagging n all. yep yep. loads of coordination required, this ain't a one man's show. at first, it was kinda messy cos most of us were blur cocks who had no idea, or v little, of what was going on. but after a while, you get the hang of it. however, this being just an int tournament, the whole process is much easier than the actual thing is going to be. hope we all dont screw up on the actual day itself. ganbatte everyone!

anw, it was my 1st time in an actual shiai, keikoing w an opponent. the junior gals were the last to compete. 5 of us, me siwei siew suyu n sarah, plus one senior, ting, to complete the erm round robin thingy. anw, me siew n siwei were up against each other. it's funny how b4 the match, u're a bundle of nerves but once u step into the court, it's like the world falls away from u, and all u're aware of is urself, ur opponent, the judge. there's this zenlike feeling of calmness... am i making sense? ahaha~ i guess not. anw, the mock tourney wasnt so bad as we thought it would be, juz went in there n do our best. wasnt expecting to actually go thru to the final round! muz have been really lucky. so was up against ting sempai, n well, i lost, but i didnt feel bad. juz have to try harder! hehe~ and anw, like ting told me, i hold back too much. guess tt's something i have to work on. i dont dare to attack cos i dont know if i shd attack, and as a result, i keep having to defend. if i were up against ppl who knew who to use that against me, i'd prolly be out in 10s flat. im juz lucky. haha~

kudos to suyU!!! see, i told u u'll be chosen for the ladies team! no surprise there! ganbatte! we all have faith in u, u shd have faith in urself too! n the junior guys who r in the team, ganbatte too! make us proud! we r proud of u say we r proud of u! we r proud of u say we r proud of u!!!!
