Damien was telling Mephine, Yuen and myself about his 'encounters' in Malaysia and other overseas areas. To him, aikido is an art of which he could have had used in rough his army days as a means to survive. That started me thinking on the bus ride home, about myself, and the reason for me learning aikido.
I guess when I started in secondary 3, almost 4 years ago, it was because I wanted to learn to defend myself, swayed by the elegance of the art. But now, I learn aikido because of interest, going 6 out of 7 days of the week and all.
The unusual thing is, I think I learnt much faster and did much better before I stopped aikido in JC2. After that one year of aikido hiatus, it seems like my body has forgotten almost all the good aikido habits it had learnt. Thank goodness my mind remembers the techniques so at least I don't have to re-learn everything from scratch; I just have to modify what I currently remember falsely as right.
Stupid malfunctional Id. :(
17 more days to army. You can laugh at my bald head soon! :D
