Dream coming true

My dream came true when i contacted one of seagal's student, sensei elliot freeman.I talked to him about aikido and other stuff.

Practicing Martial Arts While Fasting

Today is the 12 day of Ramadan . I missed aikido class last week as i was too tired . I wasn't going to miss this one . We did various exercises and throws . My neck got really sore when my teacher threw me using an iriminage . I got to help the beginners alot . Honestly , i felt thirsty but i feel better now . There is still about 4 hours left till break fast . I am going to spend the time studying . It is great that you can carry on your daily activities despite fasting , without feeling tired .

Changes

Today was a really really disappointing day for me . I just got back my results for my mid year exams . For the first time , i failed my geography paper ! I have been getting A1 for my geography since 2009 and have never failed it . Also , i did terribly for my social studies paper . My Additional Mathematics was a failure as usual . I have been failing my Additional Mathematics since 2011 . Never passed it once !

Honestly , i didnt expect great results when i did the paper as i wasnt fully prepared for my exam . I spent most of my holidays hanging out with my friends and having fun . I am very sad as i have disappointed myself , my teachers and parents .

I guess its time to really , really wake up ! I have only 5 Weeks left till my prelims ! My national exams are only a week or so after my prelims .

Its time to make some changes now to myself .

Speaking of changes :)

Motivational Workshop

Today was the third day of the motivational workshop . Also , it was the last day . I didnt go for the first day as i thought it was be another useless workshop . Honestly , this workshop was really a wake up call for me . I cant believe that i didnt know what my beliefs were until i went for the workshop . The trainer was a guy named Samuel , a fun and cheerful guy . It was really fun to hear him talk about his life .


At the end of the lesson on the 2nd day , i went to speak to him personally . To my surprise , his character is very similar to mine ! Infact , almost the same . He told me that he was , and still is a shy person . I remember earlier this year , when i didnt even talk to anybody and kept my mouth shut . He had similar experiences .


Also , he told me this funny story where he and a friend went to see a girl . He wanted to give the girl a letter . When they met the girl , he was so shocked that he threw the letter on the floor and ran away ! A really funny story . Today , i was happy that i got to play guitar to the whole class . He brought his guitar and played some songs . After that , knowing that i am shy person , he called me up to play the guitar ! I finally overcomed my shyness . Thanks to him .

He told me that i am his inspiration ! There is one thing that he said that will be with me for my life. He said that to overcome your fear , you actually have to do that particular thing . If not , you will never succeed !  I wish that we can cross paths sometime in the future .

Time to WAKE UP

Mid Year Exams had just ended . Honestly , i didnt even prepare well for the exams . I spent the whole holidays hanging out with my friend . This is the first time in 4 years of my secondary school that i have not prepared for my exam . Its time to REALLY WAKE UP !! . I am just curious about the results . I dont think i will do really well .
