Aikido Grading

Grading just ended about 4 hours ago . Despite being ill , i still went for my grading . I got tired very fast . Good thing that my partner told me what to do as i made some mistakes halfway . I got thrown around a lot !

After this grading , i realized something . I really need to start working out and exercising . I thought that aikido didnt require working out . I was wrong !

I think that i should be able to pass my grading and be promoted to 5th Kyu .

Here are some pictures , taken by my mom and sister .

Aggressive Attitude

I have been having a aggressive attitude in aikido the past year . Hitting my friends and going against them hard . I have realised today that resistance and going hard in aikido do not meet . I should train to get the basics right . By resisting , both the uke and nage do not gain anything . I should change my attitude towards aikido from now onwards . 

Feeling Fresh :)

What a rainy day :) I have been waking up early on weekends around 6  to do my prayers , and off i go to study . I feel so good to be up in the morning with the sound of birds singing . It is also a great time to study and your brain is like a brand new sponge in the morning .

January have passed in a blink of an eye ! The year had just started , and boom ! It is already February . I have gotten 5 A's so far for most of my common tests. Great feeling when you get what you want .

Memories

I had so much of memories this year.Going back to the start of this year,i remember first listening to the song "come and get it" by the band "badfinger".Thats when i started to get hooked into them.

I remember using my crappy samsung omnia 2." Morning has broken " By cat stevens was something i used to listen all the time during that period.

The most memorible experience was when i went to the air show around febuary with my best friend , satvin.We had fun time there.

I didnt really do much during the june holidays.However , around august , during hari raya , a few of my friends came over to my house for a visit.Boy, we did have lots of fun :)

Then now , its already october !

Time has passed in an blink on an eye

Its october right now ! WOW ! 10 months have passed in just a blink of an eye ! N levels have just ended.What a great sigh of relief.But,i still have my O level maths coming up in 4 days !!

Sad day :(

I couldnt go for aikido class as i am having a cold :( I really feel bad for missing just one class :(

Steven Seagal

Steven Seagal.He is,in my opinion,one of the best martial artists out there.His style of aikido really impresses me ! He did an excellent job of bringing Aikido into the spotlight through his movies.Also,he is an inspiration to me.My dream is to be his student and meet him one day.
