::TaEKwANdO ::
Hell, after 3 straight EmO blog posts, i guess its about time to cheer up... and what better way to lift a guys spirit than a good day of hard ass taekwando... yep... no better cure...
4th of october was a great day.... for one, i got to destress by taekwando-ing all day.. and to top thing off, i won a medal... pehehehehe.... better yet, im going for the poomsae event finals next week.. got 3rd place in this weeks semi's.. not bad huh?
th efirst event of the day was the poomsae event, which i got 3rd place in the semi's.. but i have to say, the highlight of the event was Densearn who was the last contestant of the day... halfway through the event, he kinda lost the stepsand stood dazed for a bit, and thenn... DAMMIT.... lol... xD... i have it on video and i will post it up soon... hehe..
next came the high jump kick and long lump kick event... being only meagerly good at these events, i never got through and ended up being a plank holder, as a result of which, my fingers are all swollen... next was the style breaking event, which i might add, was the best event the whole day... my combo of 3 cyclones, one backthrust and one head break( yes, i broke the plank with my head) was not enough to beat the rest and i never got any prize for that event... =(
surprisingly enough, i got the gold for the next event, which i never expected... this was only because i broke two planks in mid-air without landing and on only one attempt compared to the silver medalist , justin's two failed attempts at breaking more than 2 planks.... i feel really awkward at getting the prize as i feel that he is a more qualified participant.. but i won, so i really shouldn't complain....
finally, came the most painful, excruciating and gut-wrenching event... strength breaking... this was the crux of events where most of the players were soon down with sore feet , and in some cases, two swollen toes... hehe, u know who you are.. =P... the event was seriously stolen by two of the best breakers, Zax and Yinniy.. Zax broke 4 inches of hard pine and Yinny broke 3... i have zax's video.. and that to will be up...
alll in all, monash succeded in 'tapao-ing' the events.. hmmm... the monashian medal tally for those that i know are as below...
Black & red belt male
Yung Lin: 3 gold
Black & red belt female
Ivy : 3 gold
Blue/Green male
Justin:2 gold
Me : 1 gold
Zax: 1 gold
Blue Green Female
cant remember...
White: only females..
Yinny: 1 i think (gold)
so there ends a cool event.. next, the play on friday, then the 2nd half of the tkd competition on saturday.. then.. EXAMS!!!!!! hehe... good luck to all my pals....

::SaY::
i was driving slowly (amazing, i know..) back home after a particularly tiring day in uni and i turned on the radio..beep... the usual drone from the DJs... change channel.. beep... and there came a melody that struck my heart so sharply, i really really just took in a gasp of air... simple guitar play, 3 chords, and it took my heart and put it in a spin cycle...maybe i never really paid much attention to the lyrics of the song before, having been obsessed at learning the super basic chords of the song, but today i listened, and it brought a tear to my eye... the way i translated them to the things and actual representations of things they mean... my own stuff k...
take out all your wasted honor
every little past frustration
take out all your so called problems
better put them in quotations..
Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living on the same old moment
Knowing you’ll be better of instead if you could only say what you need to say
have no fear for giving in,
never fear for giving on,
its better to say too much,
than never to say what you need to say,
even if your hands are shaking,
even if your faith is broken,
even as the eyes are closing,
do it with a heart wide open...
Say what you need to say,
say what you need to say
if the song is emofying, watching the movie, 'The Bucket List' was even more heart wrenching. for a majority of people, the movie may be dull, draggy and unexciting. i really think that these are the type of people who need to listen to the things that are talked about, search for the hidden meaning and interpret the messages in the movie. i mean, it was beautiful.. the concept of regretting life for not living it... ::AWESOME::
i really got thinking after listening to the song today.. now i am here, sitting at my pc, thinking about how fragile a thing is life, and how easily it is to be disrupted by simple problems which have simple solutions that mostly turn into major complications mainly because we didn't want to take the plunge, that one risk, that one urge to blow it all just to Live THAT moment....
Just how many times can you regret in life? that last hug you never gave your friend before she died, just because you waited? that one chance you never took because you were afraid? that one opportunity you passed on because you couldnt decide? that one thing you wanted to say to her, but never got to doing it? that one wish you never made come true, because ou hesitated?
the feeling is unparalleled in this world, because it is the feeling that makes you chide yourself and say " if only" a million times over. precious minutes are wasting. every moment is golden. if you miss it, you will never get back that moment, for every moment is unique; it is its own and the only way to make that moment last is by grasping it with an iron fist and never leting go, for it WILL flutter away.
this song does not only mean that you have to say things, it tells you to live life to its fullest and do everyting you want to do, because a day will come when you will look back and sob, let the tears fall to your lap, curled up in bed and rolling back and forth, thinking, wishing, whispering, and regretting... i for one will take my lesson from this song. i have but to open my mouth and say what i need to say... my hands shall shake, my heart may race, my sweat shall pour and my mouth wil dry, but i shall take a deep breath, i shall turn around and i shall make sure you look at me in the eyes, and i shall make it clear to you... take this as a good teaching guys and remember- Say what you need to say-
