Suzumiya haruhi and Cross Training

Friday came and went…Anyways, on Friday morning, went to the Internet Computing class expecting a test but in the end…it was postponed. Ah hell, its an open book test and furthermore, a lot of people say it was easy. I just started watching an anime called ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya’. First episode (actually, it’s episode 00) was a bit weird as it is so very confusing!. However, from the next episode onwards, people say its better and well, we’ll see. Info can be found here:

The best thing that happened on friday was kendo. We had cross training with the NUS and Waseda High School (Not sure if spelling is rite XP). Ahaha, and we also finally got back to training at the hall (YES!! NO MORE SQUASH COURTS!!!) Anyways, training started with the basic warm up and stuff. Then we did kiri kaeshi, fumi komi men and the likes. After that, we had a shiai between our guests schools and the japanese kendokas showed that they were no pushovers. Even if they lost a point, they took it back in a matter of seconds.

After that, we had ji keiko (sparring ^^) First I fought with this japanese girl. Her strength lies in her men cut, as she only attempted a few kote and if i’m not wrong, no dou. Then after her, I fought dis NUS guy whose strength is also in his men cuts(and he also did kote and dou). However, he likes to fake and also make people lose their centre (as in orientation is gone as he moves the shinai in a way u wont expect people to move it) And then, he goes for the kill. Lol, after that he taught me certain way to cut men and maybe, i’ll try it.

After this, i fought an NUS girl who is a sticker (as in she constantly stay close to me so it’ll be hard for me to get a point) And whenever direction i go, she follows. Its like trying to get a leech out of ya. And then again, i’m training my hiki technique(hiki-men, hiki- kote, hiki do – they can only be used when your close to your opponent and instead of going forward when you cut, you go backwards) as my men is not that good yet. So, yea. Manage to get a few points. Then, I fight with another NUS guy who is so far the most aggressive among the lot. And for the last keiko, another NUS girl and hell is she good (espeacially her debanna men, something XN likes to do). Also she’s quite agile. Lol, after that training ended. Shiok sia, see so many style of fighting. Ahaha, it has ended and now, i’ll concentrate on tomorrow’s(actually today’s) campfire
