wushu comps.. hmm well my result was... disappointing. i was utterly crushed after receiving my score, cause i didn't expect it. haiss perhaps my expectations of myself are far too high.
i made two mistakes, most people could see the first one but not the second one. i kinda stumbled, that was my first mistake. the other one is where my cudgel touched the ground when it's not supposed to, but seems like nobody spotted it.
comments from people were that i didn't do my best, cause during trainings i performed better, but it wasn't my worse performance either, it was... average. and people also commented that i did kinda fast, and i admit, more than half of the time i didn't know what i was doing.
another comment which a lot of people mentioned to me was that: cause i'm the second to go up, so i'll be compared to the first person. and more than five people were telling me that i was obviously better than the first person before me, but i got lower than her. but this comment make me feel very unaccomplish. haisss
shall try to think in a positive light! hmm what i did well, well there was this jumping 360 degree and landing in a stable ma bu move in my taolu. and during trainings this part was my biggest flaw, i either could not lift both legs up and lend with both legs together OR land very unstably. and surprisingly, i would say thati jumped and landed really well during the comps!
oh and surprisingly when i went up i wasn't THAT nervous or freaked out. i was relatively calm, just A BIT nervous. and i think that's cool! haha!
i was really sad that day after knowing my results. but i've gotten over it already! it's a really valuable experience, and i've indeed learn quite a lot! like how pro others are, and remaining calm is important etc. but till now i'm still really disappointed in myself. really.
so moving on to the next big item-JITI! i really hope to get something from it! it's like my only hope of getting a medal for this year wushu. oh yes there's still nationals. hmm but training today was quite productive, except for the fact that half of us were absent, which made it very un-jiti-ish. i do think we've hope of winning something, but just a couple of people aren't very active or enthu about practicing jiti, which is disappointing. it was great that esther, moony, pingghee and i discussed a lot about our jiti! hope the next last two trainings before comps will be as productive as today.
oh yes and i'm so amazed by GOO HYE SUN! she's so multi-talented! like she is an actor, but she sings and compose her song! moreover, this performance was one day before my birthday, and it was the season of boys over flowers. she should have a really hectic lifestyle-photoshots, acting, interviews, but yet she still can compose a song! and it's really beautiful!
oh yes and speaking about singing! she acts in hearts of nineteen and even sings the theme song of the drama! cool huh?
ahhhh thinking about the fact that she still can compose in her busy schedule, it really makes me reflect on my own life. like i doubt i'm as busy as her, i still have time to slack by chatting, facebooking, youtubing. so i don't think that i'm considered really busy despite the amount of work i have. and YET, i haven't done my melody-compoing theory which is due for weeks already! seriously i feel really guilty.
