kendo news: my skin came off, again. haha~ it was hanging off like after warm-up, one huge patch of skin, but i juz ignored n carry-on training, since if u dont let it bother u, it wont bother u! haha~ then during the break, the hanging skin met it's fate with the scissors... muahaha~

we did men kaeshi(sp) dou last night, as well as small kote n small men cuts. it was fun training! well... i seem to be saying that after every training, but it was a fun training too!!! esp when you learn something new! haha~ something which happens every training too, i know... haha. i still cant do the blocking of the men cut followed by the dou cut in one move though. still like split into 2 cuts, there'll a short pause there. dax says it's cos im thinking of the blocking. oh wells, more practises for ym!

jikeiko w siew last night too! long time nvr jikeiko w her le... haha~ kept getting into tai-a-tare as well, but this time tried to do hikis to break lah... haha~ n we kept going for each other's men at the same time. o_O estee saw our sparring, and she told us that we were too flat-footed, esp when our left heel shd be off the ground at all times. ack! didnt realise.... left heel, cannot be lazy ar...

then jikeiko w dax, he used back what he taught me last week. then he challenged me to 3 point match, if i lose, i have to do kakarigeiko. and so.... i took the 1st point, he took the next point.... it was a draw. desperation sets in.... and then, i took the last point. haha~ hiki men... but he was like really open lor. he said that he was trying to do something stupid which left him open and it was good that i took that chance and get a point off of him, but i still think he was open on purpose. i mean, i definitely wont be able to beat him, much less get a point off of him in an actual match. so i think he definitely went easier on me. but well, it was still good and fun! haha~ and once more, i learn something new! he corrected my kamae as well. if i try to hold a strong centre, i have a tendency to push the opponent's shinai too much, thereby leaving my kote open easily. so i have to correct that. and he also told me not to be bothered if the opponent starts doing something funny like circling my shinai and all. as long as i hold a strong centre, dont need to be afraid that he will suddenly attack and all. yup yup. and i need to be more stable on my feet. more ashi practices for me!

today's lit screening was adam's rib. it was a black and white film starring katherine hepburn. really nice and funny show. also on a female lawyer fighting for women's rights in the courtroom, while defending a female from being convicted of attempted murder on her husband. the lawyer's opponent was her husband, so it was a rather interesting film. i thought the lawyer husband character was really funny as well! haha~ anw, i thought that this film was much better than most of the ones that grace our cinema screens nowadays. yupz.
