yesterday, i went for a capoeira workout w/ zx. it wasnt awesome, but really fun nevertheless! because there was a lot of meeting new people and doing new things involved.

(you know how sometimes pple ask about what you like or dislike, and sometimes you give a very generic material answer just to get the person off your back? for me now itll always be meeting new people and doing new things. who doesnt like that?? even the most introverted introvert likes that. even the hermit who lives in a cave in pulau ubin. )


capoeira is a brazilian sort of martial art/ dance thats got literally killer moves, but also a lot of following the beat involved. the music was great. it was a sort of tribal percussionistic chant with lotsa refrains and clapping, and all the newcomers got to take turns and do a bit of sparring with the seniors in the ring! i say sparring but really it was just a motley jumble of off-centre kicks and fumbled blocks. learnt what might be the beginnings of a maybe-somersault, but its still too early to tell^^

ok, school soon! a plus!
