Remedial --> Prelims--> O' levels & most of all, Le Parkour.


Title says it all. About one week after holidays to prelims then1 mth to O' lvls. Very fast paced. Can't say i'm ready, there there is slight improvement. Need to score lots of As' to get to where i want to go. jeez. Its hard to decide my future as of currently, i seem to hit a detour everytime.

As the O' levels draw nearer i think that i'm slowly losing it. I can't think straight, too many thoughts running through my mind at the same bloody time.
To do well in exams; To really understand myself, my feelings, to express what i wish to say; To push myself to the limit.

Life IS like Parkour, to every obstacle, there is a way around it.

I just got the feeling of what it is like to use a 'Dash Vault'. Its a really funny feeling. It's like letting yourself go into the unknown because your feet is appraching the obstacle first, only your hand placement will depend on your peripheral perception. When appraching the move you have to let yourself 'go'. Release yourself, that is the dash. Powerful yet a relaxed movement.

i really want to practice/ train my passe-muraille. Just can't get the hang of it. I will strive to make any movement my own.

"C'est comme si votre corps avait toujours ete en pilotage automatique et que vous decouvriez soudain que vous etes capable de le piloter vous meme"
"It's as if your body has always been on autopilot, and you've discovered for the first time that you are able to control it."

Enough about Le Parkour, haha, but when you think about it, what started out to be fun eg. jumping, vaulting. It has turned into something more than that. I want to be better, it's not some half-ass sport than you can pick up and go. There's more to that, philosophy, history, evolution. Even as kids we play around the playground with elements of parkour. We may not notice it but the human body is capable of doing so much.

Parkour responds to a deep-seated need of humans: to move. It's an art that demands the true spirit of a warrior, and offers pure action to its practitioners.

I hope now that whoever reads this understand why i choose parkour to be part of my life. Injuries come and go, but experience never leave. The urban jungle is my playground. And as for friends who say they love parkour but never bother to try and actually perform a movement, well, please understand that only by doing will you truly appreciate the art. ANYONE can parkour, be it any race,gender,bodysize, religion etc. ANYONE CAN.

On a brighter note, i'm feeling pissed about school cause it has made me miss jams that i really wish to have attended. Sad. lol.

"When all this is over, and i ask of you. Will you be mine?"
Yea, i'm being sappy shit. Screw you =D

This entry is over and done with. Nite guys.
