Yay medal for A Div!! Pretty much undeserved though haha. :D













Thanks a lot for those who wrote on the paper!! I am really grateful, though I can't match some of the names to the faces. Oh dear.

Anyways, It's time to focus on studies again!! I am looking forward to lots of mugging again!! :)

Judo A divisions are over!! I finally feel like a weight is lifted off my back, even though my performance there wasn't outstanding or anything.

Even I think my performance these few weeks have been VERY disappointing.

Firstly, I did not win in ANY of the events I have participated in.

Secondly, most of the events which I have participated in only last a few seconds, which usually ends with me getting thrown by my opponent.

Coach was sympathetic, but I could tell that he felt I did not do well enough. Mega was pretty direct; I knew that she wasn't impressed by my performance at all.

Nevertheless, I feel that this is a good learning point for me and that I can gauge my actual standards as compared to competition level. I will use this experience to strengthen myself both physically and mentally. Sometimes its not good to mull over our past mistakes, but these matches are good for mulling over to show what I have not done enough.

Maybe I can get into the A divisions again next year and probably win some medals?

Time will tell.
