week 1 analysis:
- legs are dead stiff, especially when attempting box split. usual front right split still alright. usual front left split is no longer comprehensible by my legs.
- back seems fine after sufficient warm up. bridge still done almost effortlessly. toe breaker almost gave me a heart attack.
- toes still points well. nice arch of foot makes it look gimrama-ish still.
- leaps are atrocious.
- self esteem: still positive. looking forward to next training.
week 2 analysis:
- legs took shorter time to warm up. usual front right split now done on bench, both front leg and back leg. usual front left split shall not be attempted on bench ever. box split slightly better. able to stretch body further down on ground with box split.
- back also took shorter time to warm up. bridge was done umpteen times with ease.
- attempted flexion. still wobbly.
- attempted pivots. atrocious.
- attempted illusion with ribbon. haywire.
- toe breaker can be done with more ease now.
- leaps are a tad higher.
- attempted handling ribbon, ball and rope. not too bad.
- walking around on crunched toes, however, was much harder than i thought. pain tolerence have reduced greatly.
- self esteem: not too good. watching Jun Mae and Jun Li do their routines was an ego denter.
only 3 weeks more for me to come up with a presentable gimrama routine for my talent showcase. training shall now increase from fridays only to fridays n sundays.

How badly do de guys and girls hate him?....
*sigh*.... it's gonna be a long April of practices....
ahhahaa, just dropped by your blog randomly and saw this post!
ahahahahahaha.. if I were there I'd be telling you all about the need to warm up properly, getting your weight over your toes before you crunch them so you don't hurt yourself etc
but ur right, it's quite hard handling apparatus after so long! I did a solo performance last week with hoop and ribbon... almost got tangled!
yuhhuey, haha....i know...gosh...anyway...i am quite alright now...or so Mrs Khaw says...so the performance wouldn't be entirely horrendous...i think...:)
