Friggin Happy.

9.99 Pounds. 70 Ringgit. Do you actually believe that?

Sunday was a happy, happy day. First there was church, where we talked about prayer and a side project - a prayer notebook, keeping track of what your prayers are and how God answers them (Yes, No, Wait). It's kinda cool - and something i've not thought about at all. He has answered my prayers before, but without writing it down i can't remember the incidences. Hmm!

After that we had youth, where a game of 'Honey, i Love you, can you please, please smile?' was played. You basically go up to a person (not necessarily of the opposite sex), say the words "Do you love me?" (this was a variation by Eric) and then try your best to make the person either laugh or twitch into a smile. We tricked Jason into laughing because he came late ("eh? HAAHHAAHAH. What?") after which he proposed to Godwinna and made her screw her face up in silent mirth. I didn't really have to do anything - Joanna covered her face with a jacket the instant i got down of my knees in front of her. Hehe.

And then there was Judo! Oh, blessed honey of a million bees! I got my grubby paws on this:


Bought in the UK by Alvin for 9.99 pounds! 70 Ringgit for a such a damn thin valuable book. No wonder i couldn't find it anywhere in Malaysia, even in 'biggest-bookstore-eva' Borders. Hmmph! Daft daft daft. But the techniques there are amazing! Whoever knew Tenri Osotogari added such an effective wrist turn! *rubs hands together eagerly*

I can't help it. Jump jump with happiness.

Then i injured my foot trying a Sasai on Phing Zhou. Ehehh. Note to self: work on Sasai. Your traditional throw sucks.Keep using a variation and this is what you get.

I didn't get to spar with Douglas, again, though Garrick took a video of me sparring with Chong (36 mb! Dang), and it had a nice osotogari in it (from me).

You know, the rate i'm going, it could really be possible that my Osoto can work in contest now. *sticks tongue out at Horng Eng and her Haraigoshi*

Happy happy happy me.

Okay. It's a bet. I'll do my best on my Osoto.
