~ demo demo ~
nope, this blog is not about me participating in recently organized demonstration in the streets of KL..never did understand why ppl would wanna demonstrate..if u wan to make a point but ur listener dont wanna listen, it doesnt matter what you do, they will still not listen…some ppl would argue, " ooooo..atleast we showed the world, what malaysian government is all about where they say one thing and do another thing..so wheres the democracy, etc etc "…so the world knows, so what? can things be changed?..if it can be done so easily, other countries having serious civil wars, domestic politics, etc would easily be resolved through demonstration !!…anyway…lets forget about this…
one thing for sure is that my blog is about a positive demonstration…to show and share capoeira culture to the public as part of brazilian culture awareness..its rather interesting to be part of it considering the fact that its my 1st time joining this public roda ( pronounced as "hoo da" )…it was raining heavily that night and i was contemplating if i should proceed with my plans of joining them…i decided to drive pass the academia to see if anyone is there…the minute i reached there, the academia was dark…so i guess everyone must have gone to bangsar…so i de-toured and drove to bangsar..
and i saw a group of ppl in the same outfit as i am…and i thought, "ahhh..so its on !!"…so i parked by the side of a huge house…changed in the middle of the road, pee-ed in the longkang…and just as i was about to leave…i felt a cold sensation on my right shoulder…when i looked over.."shiittt…kena bird shit, right in the middle of nite !!…dammm…first thought that came across my mind, is this a sign or wat??"…
the whole demonstration went well but i guess there isnt that many ppl who comes and support the event thus making it less "ummphhh"…but nonetheless it gives me the feel and impression of those olden martial art movies i like to watch, where they will go around, selling their "art" while asking for contribution from the public ( we dont ask for contribution btw, its just free marketing activity that we are doing )….
interesting..interesting..seeing rafael moves really motivates me to learn more, perfect my skills, and make it smooth flowing…he always say.." u gotta develop ur game, learn to do something, make ur opponent move somewhere and then get him nicely !! "….he makes sound so easy all the time !!…to the extent that he already got frustrated telling us so one day, he really got mad and say, " everytime i see u guys, i tell u guys the same thing..i think i should just record my voice, play it over the loudspeaker everytime u guys come train..OR better still, i will charge u guys some amount of money everytime u make me repeat the same thing..that way i can get rich..even faster and better than teaching capoeira !! "
well..training life continues !!
