Been a few days since my last update, but there hasn't been that much exciting or interesting things to say or write about too much.
The rest of my weekend was fairly ordinary for most part, nothing to speak of really. I had a meeting on Monday with my supervisor, and we began to discuss a new project that actually has some interesting implications if the concept behind it is valid and yet untapped. While I would love to talk more about it, I won't because it has the potential to be huge, and possibly even patentable. It seems far fetched as an initial idea, but when you look into the actual science behind it, it isn't so crazy after all, and well, industry would love it I think.
Monday training was pretty good, while I am still sore from it, I don't know if it is exactly the training or my "illness" that might be causing it. We did the usual warmup and waza training and then had jigeiko. I got to play a little with two people who were relatively new players in bogu, and I pretty much tried to pump into their brains a few key aspects about what they should and should not be doing in jigeiko.
At the end, one of the others told me that my playing style had changed from what they remembered of me playing last, where I was moving faster but moving less. I don't know how much of that is actually true or not, since I don't feel like I'm moving faster at all, though I know I was pretty still. What I do know that I was doing however is relaxing the grip of the shinai in my hands, especially my right. My biggest fear with doing that is some players bash the shinai pretty hard, and do harai waza straight off, which I run the risk of being dis-armed if I am not careful. I don't know if this contributes to being faster though.
Today, I went to Chatswood with my parents to have lunch with my brother and his family/in-laws. The place we went to was Sushi-Ya, (174 Victoria Ave, Chatswood) a smallish place on the corner. I would say the prices are a little higher than normal, but the food quality was quite nice. My brother's mother-in-law ordered a lot of food by appearances, but it did disappear quite easily into the stomachs of seven people, eight if you count my neice who had a little bit of rice with her blended concoction of baby mush (14 ingredients, home-made).
I didn't really pay attention to much of the conversation happening at the table since it didn't really involve me, it was mainly the two sets of parents nattering away, and giving attention to the baby. Other than that, it wasn't a bad lunch. The drive was just over fifty kilometers round trip and about just under fifty or so minutes each way with medium traffic density.
So, that is pretty much it at the moment.
Oh, I joined Twitter last night too. Take a guess what my twitter feed is lol....
