Found out from my sensei 2 days ago I passed and got my yellow belt! Haven't received it yet though. He thought he could've given it to me yesterday. But I had work; rehearsals for a merdeka show in Putrajaya tonight. I don't have to do much, not even talk. Just sit and stand and pretend I'm a sultan. Gosh! work is so tough... :-) I'm really anticipating getting my yellow belt. I'm wondering how I'll feel as I wear it for the first time. For some reason, I picture myself having a big stupid grin. I'm grinning now anyway.

My test was actually done 5 days later than then when I said. Miscommunication. It was a thursday and usually there's hardly anyone there. But, of course, not this night. There were three new kenshis (students) and and about 5 observers. And so, I had to do my test in front of all of them. *sigh* Being nervous doesn't help when you have an audience. I've been learning that the foundations in my legs are very weak. So, I've been strengthening it by doing and holding the horse stance until I'm shaking and about to fall (I kept picturing myself in a Jacky Chan martial arts movies as I did this) as well as doing squats. Not smart to do this just before a test... which is what I did. So having weak legs already and then weakening it further with exercise sure made the test a wobbly procedure. In front of an audience, somemore. Why oh why do I like to make things harder than they already are?

Anyway, going shopping now. Buying metal plates for my new tap dancing shoes.
