bloody feet...

... literally...
i know the photos below are pretty gross but i don't really care...
this is how my feet are in the 'healing stage'...
(they were alot worse a couple weeks ago...)

i call them 'stigmata feet' because every so often they bleed really badly...
i think its because i do too much walking...
when i was little i hated it because it is really painful and annoying, but over the years, i've just learnt to cope with it...

(in the reassuring words of my mooma, she said: 'its better that your feet are disgusting rather than your face'...???....???... that was the best comfort she could offer me???)





and yes...
i did mumeishi with bleeding feet!!!
that just shows how dedicated i was in supporting the dojo!!!
(although i have to say i am not that good at kendo anyway so it wouldn't have made a difference...)

mumeishi 3...

the day started off with a really really strong cup of green tea...
(in the end i went to sleep at 3am and got up at about 5:30amish... i also swear that there was an argument going on in the streets below because i faintly remember screaming voices... however being in the state i was in i really didn't care...)

also what made the day seem even more eventful was the sudden tx from a team mate who decided that she wasn't going to be in the competition anymore???





(photos stolen from amy chien, no longer my team member as we were separated... why???)




(photo stolen from zeke li... who didn't compete in the competition!!! :-p)

oh great kendo monster...

oh great kendo monster...
please smile kindly on us, team 'mi-mi-ca' and everyone else at tora, soas and uak dojo at the mumeishi competition tomorrow...

:-p


('one day i'm gonna beat you... i'm gonna hit you hit you hit you hit you HITTTT YOUUUU...')

the hilarity of this competition is that its the first one that i am going to do, which means i have no idea what i am supposed to be doing, so expect alot of 'beginner mistakes'...

(what i should also mention, just to add that extra icing to the cake is... i haven't actually been training for the past month or so, and i have been ill... so... baring all thie information in mind... i am soooo going to fook something up!!! at least the other kendokas are going to be entertained??? that or they will hunt me down for creating such a mockery of the whole event tomolo... oh great kendo monster please protect me... :-p )

i'm looking forward to tomolo...
really i am!!!
because doing this competition means i will burn alot of calories, which means i get to eat alot of sushi and mango treats!!!
for that reason alone i will fight!!!

now i should sleep considering that its an 5am start...
(note to self: make a strong cup of green tea tomolo...)

bird shitte on my face...

... but not the disgusting 'oh my god some fooking bird just shat on me' kind...

believe it or not, but this kind of bird poop, 'uguisu no fun' (translated as 'nightingale droppings powder') is actually a well known beauty product in japan...

it's such a great product that the japanese would like to keep it as a secret from the western world...
(and personally speaking, i don't blame them since after trying it out, i found that it actually is really really good for the skin!!!)

and 'no'... this is not a joke...

noodle boy...

baby-duck!!!
お誕生日おめでとう ございます (笑)!!!

today is my little brother's birthday...
so to celebrate his 21st i did what most sisters would do...
i bought him a whole load of ramen???
(yeah... did i mention that i am irrational???)



at first i had the idea of getting him a cake from a nice confectionary... but, thinking logically, that was a stupid idea... (that might sound silly when you look at it from an objective bystander's point of view...) but... it would have been an idiotic thing to do, to buy a cake, because, he would be the only one eating it...

so i figured, instead of spending the money on a cake that would have gone to waste, i might as well get him something that he would appreciate...

'RAMEN'!!!

and since it was his 21st i made an effort to find him 21 different kinds of ramen (+ some little chocolate cupcakes...everyone needs cake for their birthday???)... (the look on the poor cashiers face when she saw me with a basket of ramen was priceless... i really would have loved to know what she was thinking at that moment in time...)

i do some crazy illogical things things without any reason but really i don't care what ppl think...

my little brother loved the gesture and saw the funny side of it so that was my mission accomplished for the day... (i think???)

(please note this is badly typed up because i am 'borrowing' internet right now... ahem...)

who is sylvain chauveau...

the supporting act before sylvain was a musician called 'peter broderick'... i didn't take any movies which was a shame because he was a very good crowd pleaser... especially his finale where he had these tubes that he swung over his head to make a whirring noise whilst walking in and out of the audience...
