back! from camp sparex!
the camp was abit disappointing this time
it definitely wasnt as fun as last year's
but maybe because i went for it once already so i kinda knew what to expect
training wasnt as tiring as last yr also
mostly learnt about footwork and corrected our basic techniques for turning kicks
hmm my kicks arent powerful enough.. need to turn my hips more..
sigh i know my prob.. but i just dont correct it :X
first day!
met sai and lynn slightly earlier for breakfast
sai brought a super small bag.. i still wonder how she managed to squeeze everything in..i should learn from her the art of bag packing
ate a little at the food court then went to the bus interchange to meet my group
the three of us were in diff grps
sai- vega
lynn- akuma
me - ryu! (:
my group had marcus, eug, ivan ,one other j1 hctkd person, 2 vjc and 2 jjc people
grp leader was elisa..
she has 3 tattoos on her body! and multiple piercings.. and wild hair
she reminded me of those jap people who like to cosplay the moment i saw her
the other 2 AGLs shimin and yixiang were quite nice also
though yixiang's kind of naggy :X
and shimin studies monkeys.. erm she's in some pyschology course
played some games and intro-ed ourselves when we reached the sports and recreation centre(SRC)
then there was some light training..stretching and stuff
then late afternoon had training with ntu's shifu
did lots of kicks again
dinner then erm ok i don't rmb..
oh ya.. celebrated junjie and peiwei's bday
shared room with eug and sai for the night
day 2!
morning stretches then breakfast
station training on sparring techniques
saw 2 akido people training outside
they look so erm.. rou.. like they were dancing or smth
random.
lunch then more training on sparring again
learnt abt the diff kinds of opponents that we might face
stationary, opponents who counter attack and the kinds who keep moving back
trained with shimin.. and we both did a knee clash.. so now i have a super big blue black on my left knee
junhong(national fighter) talked to us abt mental strength training(MST)
and taught us witch..no..court craft
games before dinner = made us tour ntu = walk alot
one more mass game after dinner then back to rooms!
shared room with elizabeth this time
had a bath.. went to sai's room to play cards and talk crap with eug sai and lynn
then went over to block 45's lounge to "chitchat"
haha joke of the day :X
i scared zhihao with my ghost story!
hahahahahaahahhahahaa
omg i never felt so erm.. amused by anyone's reaction since sai's XD
ok quite funny.. but i felt quite bad about it coz he really gt kinda freaked out then didnt sleep!
SORRY!
haha i told zhiyi the story too.. but he was super expressionless
then not fun.. hai~
i still like sai's reaction! :D
went back to room to sleep
the moment my head touched the pillow K.O. alr
day 3!
sparring tournament!
abit of warm up exercises and stretches in the morn
breakfast
then tournament!
i had to fight lynn!!!!!!
then sai was with liwen
super scared la.
haha both of us quite scared of each other
but lynn's fears were unfounded!
she won!
i tot she should have scored more points coz i knew she kicked me alot of times
i didnt manage to kick her much coz her legs keep "mirror imaging" mine the moment mine lifted up then block me!
tsk... i need to train more speed.
3 bouts.. the first bout was the only one when the 2 of us scored points
second bout was.. i was taunting her to come over.. and trying to intimidate.. but she wasn't even scared .. sian hahaha
then both of us didnt want to attack first
then both coaches by the side were telling us exactly the same thing
e.g. 1) wait for opponent to attack first
2) right(dominant) leg at the back
3)hug opponent after kicking.. heh lynn we hugged until quite shuang
make sai jealous again! :P
4)dont punch and move back
5)just keep faking
basically distancing was the most impt.. then both of us didnt wanna get into each others range so we kept faking..lol
by the third bout my throat was totally dry
hmm sparring this time wasn't as thrilling and tiring as last yr
maybe coz its my third time sparring
and the first and second opponents were seriously scary people
sze ying and huifang
sze ying was super aggro and kept attacking
then hui fang's legs are longggggggg
and coz.. well lynn.. haha we know we wont attack each other until so hiong.. so ok!
not that worried
coz know that she wont k.o. me or smth (:
rightttt?? haha
ok jk.. i tried my best on the mats la..
(lynn: your win was real la! you were really deserving ok! don't keep thinking you're lousy.... you're GOOD! you really deserve to win both last year and this year!)
after the match just stoned ard and talk abit of crap
then lynn told us joke #2 of the camp
when she was intro-ing herself on the first day.. lynn: im lynn
changyan (ntu senior who is approx 190cm++++++ and weighs only like 50 plus kg):
im
lean too
ok nvm.. it isnt that funny when i type it out..
its funnier when we say it
hmm then after tournament gave out certs then goodies!
pigged out then after break camp went to canteen 2 to find waffles.. but dont have ):
ate other stuff then went home with sai coz lynn left earlier for church mass
fell into a deep deep sleep on the bus..and even slept while standing on the train
super tired
went home sleep somemore
6- 8 plus..
sms-ed some people then went back to sleep
woke up at 10 plus
watched tv
