a sunny day at Tian dao monastery ^_^

I´ve not been ill for years...

So in the middle of the night I didn´t feel good and went to the toilet. The result was not as relieving as I had hoped and I stayed another minute.
Then I throw up... after that I felt better and went to bed.

I woke up in pain and... well I didn´t make it to the toilet before it started again...
This time I took a bucket with me, which I used more then once...

The day after passed by while I was asleep...
today I feel better.

Should I go and practice taiji today?

small update

So the competition is over, I designed myself a Taiji T-Shirt which is ok but the WCTAG Logo is a bit too small - making it very hard to read the Chinese characters and the complete association name...

On Sunday I learned the last two figures of the swordform and got a fine correction.

I decided the next form I learn will be the spearform, because the laojia form will take me about a year to learn it and before that I wanna have some fun ;-)

So that´s it for now,

one week after the Competition

So, I went to the competition and did my Handform (one step more to the left and I would have been standing in the wall...).
Long story short I performed ok, but not good enough to be in the top 3. Those who where did wear taiji suits...and did perform more advanced forms (laojia,etc. ...).

Pushing (ding bu ) was a surprise, because we had to start from a starting position and didn´t have that in our training (how should we practice that without knowing about that...), so we didn´t get to far...but against such advanced guys we wouldn´t stand a chance even if we would have trained that before!

So when we left,we knew we were up against the best in this country and when we come back next year we will be better prepaired and things might be a little different then!

I hope I get myself a cool suit until then, maybe it helps ;-)
I start of with a t-shirt...

Snow and driving

Today I try to give myself some rest and relax a bit, because tomorrow it´s the day of the taiji competition and I need as much energy as possible for the push hands (ding bu).
Of course at work I was told work faster work faster, so no relaxing there...but short before the beginn of my weekend it started snowing...and it didn´t want to stop, so I was driving back home with maybe 60km/h and the radio played some cool jazz tunes leading to nearly starting to sleep with open eyes...that was relaxing!
Have a good weekend every body
再见 c u ^_^

is Life a waiting and mistaking?

So I went to the Place (a supermarket) were I should wait for the Truck I should help to unload.
I reached there 7:55 and rung up the driver. He told me I would have to wait an hour because they would be stuck in a traffic jam... after 1hour and 18 minutes I called again and he said they would arrive in 5 - 8 minutes. after 10-20 minutes I called the Office and they told me the Truck would have arrived already and we found out that I was in the wrong street and the city was wrong!!!
So I finally arrived at the right place in the Village outside the City at 10:05 .

At 12:00 the work was done... What a nonsense right?

Well, I drove back and left my car for repairs at the garage in our village (since the winter started, It took me 2minutes or so to get it started in the morning).

What a day...and I didn´t even have lunch up to now...

Well, shit happens...

training for the competition

Since it´s Weekend I´m enjoying being myself :-)
I got my hair cut (it was sorely needed!) and practiced the Sword form (I still need to learn the 2 last figures of the form). That was the easy part of the day. I still don´t get my 19step Handform done in 6 minutes, which is the time limit at the Competition next Saturday. It takes me too long to get started, and I have to do the walking parts faster...but I guess I´ll get it untill then. 5 minutes minimum 6 minutes maximum...and it has to look good...keep the fingers crossed!

tuesday the 13. (how good it´s no friday...)

So today I woke up at 8:00 turned on my handy and went back to sleep ( if you read my first post you know I didn´t have slept much that night). At 11: something I get a call from the office where to work today and the day was ruined...Well, that work wasn´t that bad and the people are nice there so it was ok ( even though I missed my taiji practice because of it).
I didn´t see any news on tv today and the rest of the programms today are trash (without Django; man I love this Italo-Western serie) so there´s nothing important to talk about...
so Good night and c u (or not...)
