-surprise surprise...-
ever wondered how to create a big volcano with nothing but a mug, some duct tape and a magnet?
...
yea, i dunno either...
thats why i ended up writing this early post that youre reading now.. 4.45pm is still quite early for a post isnt it? oh well, looks lyk todays post combines yesterdays one...
which never came cos i was at grandma's house...
so yea... here it goes...
sat was GREAT! in the morn had to go to muhammadiyah for the cip thing... 2nd day... sum of the boys there were from last wk... the rest were new ppl... as basic, we played football and floorball...
to counter the boys' tendencies to cuss and swear (like sial), we implemented a system of "punishment"... 10 push ups for the whole group for each swearword said out... the group i was facilitator to kena 60 push ups at one shot... WTF..
aw dang, there goes another 10 push ups...
sad to say, the system failed lyk mad dog... swearwords were a permanent part of the boys vocab... so in the end, we just let them swear as much as they want...
"macam bodoh, sial!"
oh well... wat to do? i guess cussers will be cussers... but in their case, tell them that there will be football later, THEY WILL INSTANTLY OBEY EVERY WORD YOU SAY...
ok maybe not so teruklah but they will listen to you so that you can let them play ball... they really love football lyk mad dog... to say that they are pro does not seem enough... maybe bcos they combine football with sepak takraw skills... real nice stuff...
and at 12.40 that day, i left muhammadiyah welfare home... about an hour earlier than usual... you know why?
...
thats rite. JUDO!!!!
took the mrt all the way to toa payoh and went back to cjc... when i came to the judo room, training had just started...
as i went towards the room, the judo captain (i think her name was ming ti or sth... and yes, SHE) saw me and gave me a look of puzzledness... maybe she tot i was J2 or sth... hahaha...
so yea, training had started oredi... revised breakfalls and our 1st throw of the year... osoto-gari... basically you grab the opponent's forearm with one hand and his shoulder (or lapel) with the other, then step forward and sweep the poor guys leg with your other leg... practised it with chris and some other guy... why? cos we were about the same size... size DOES play a part in judo... and so does balance...
then there was RANDORI!!! in other words, sparring. we watched the seniors spar with the black/brown belts... really cool to see them in action... watched a few of them take hard falls, though... some were like pwnage... sum guy got flipped 180 degrees and still landed on his feet... damn nice stuff...
and then the sensei looked at us...
"Ok! the j1s! go!"
we stoned for a moment and then reluctantly went... i kena sum medium sized blackbelt... i tell you his balance was almost unbreakable... he threw me a few times... luckily i rmb the breakfalls...
and then...
i managed to trick him and then trip him... woohoo i just managed to throw a blackbelt!!!
...
ok fine, im sure he was giving me chance... maybe because i havent got the gi yet.. oh well, will be looking forward to more randori... XD
and then there was the physical training... i wont go into detail on that... lets just say i came back aching real bad... but as wat the ncc ppl would say, i felt damn shiok after judo... lyk a sense of hyped up tiredness...
haha... JUDO PWNS!!! next training on tues... woohoo!
...
ok here comes today...
nothing much today, though... jus relaxing at home, trying to find a way to lessen the aches... mad ouchies at the shoulders...
looked into the calendar, trying to find a day that acj has sch when cj doesnt... gonna crash!!!! YEA!!!
randomness...

...

...
nxt nxt fri is not just good friday...
