rjws! 17 April '07 =)

Team 1st Runner-Up in A Div!

Yay! from last year's 16 points (which was already an improvement from the previous year) to this year's 41 points!!! we rock we rock we rock =D from last year's 1 silver, 2 bronze and 1 fourth, to this year's 4 silver, 5 bronze and 2 fourths ^^

Jiti today was quite ok too. One silver and one bronze. Ouyangyang said it was good that we didn't deprove, haha ^^ yup, him, yuyuan and justin came back. we also had match support and the school flag this time! whee~

at the end of it all, we sang the school song, i held the school flag and the shiny silver plaque, we cheered unite and spirit, and we took group photos and lots of random photos! then we went to pig out at swensen's and took even more photos haha =D and i passed my 5 medals to wenda for his, laoshi's and xiaoqing's signature, whee~

ahhhh, we did it we did it!

what a friday the 13th

bronze. 8.11, tied in second place. the most exciting part, the one i could always do perfectly and beautifully, i blundered. T_T then again, i must admit, i did enjoy performing, and feeling my ego boosted as people cheered and clapped for me. and i saw through the video how laoshi and liuchang were clapping for me ^^ overall, i did ok. just very much of a yi2 han4. sigh

some of the others were worse. lixuan forgot many parts of her spear, longkuan forgot a whole chunk of it, tamie, sigh... and the exco meeting to discuss elections stuff was a fiasco too.

i just wanna sleep now. and i'd need to start practising for LA. oh, i got an "A" for pw =)

my nandao

8.21pts! and a silver medal ^___^

i can't believe (or rather, accept) that it's all over now. all the sweat, and blood, and the eleven stitches. the late night trainings, the performances, the faith from the various coaches, and the one minute plus on the arena... i haven't told anyone, but i really felt like crying after completing the routine, flawlessly and proudly. over.

it's been like a friend who has stood by me over the past year, watching me and my life in wushu. it is leaving me. and i simply cannot bear to part with it. it feels as if it should always be a part of me. but its departure is inevitable, just like everything else in this world. i thank it for the lessons, glory, experience, happiness and love it has shown and given me.

i love my nandao. =)

silver!

yay, i got a silver for nanquan today! (9 april '07) was angsting so much about da ting over the weekend, did about 50-60 of them using the soft mats until couldn't do anymore, and did 20+ at home yesterday. in the end, i managed to do it, but a bit wobbly. but still, I DID IT!! and no more of it for the rest of my life, mwahahaha~

remember learning this particular taolu from ouyang yang's video last year, to teach longkuan how to do it during open house. then lao shi decided to teach it to me (during the year end lessons under the GO), then xiaoqing came and helped me make it look nice since the beginning of this year, then i performed it for take.5, then at cat high, and then... today!

perhaps i could have done it faster and looked better, but i think it was still a good job, considering i've only learnt it for less than half a year =) jia'en did very well too, she didn't make a single blunder, something which i've never achieved so far. she almosssst got fourth, a placing ^^

and mom was happy for me too! so we sort of celebrated, with beer and all hee~
