Jet-Setting...

On top of my work related travels...
I feel that I'm away a lot these days... Just within the span of 30 days, I've been to a Kendo Tournament in Hong Kong, a friend's wedding in Bali and just this past weekend I went to Singapore with my mom and sister...
Then there's the Sumatra visits, speaking of which I'm due over there tomorrow and next week...
The truth, I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed right now. With my increasing work related issues, I feel like I am unable to fully concentrate on the other stuff in my life... I feel my Kendo training has gone to the shitter, I feel I am not doing my work out as well as I could, not to mention my leisure time...
I feel that I need to prioritize and re-organize my life at this moment, so that I will be able to handle things as effectively as I could... Therefore I decided to take a little breather from Kendo for a while. I know that the timing sucks, it's less than 3 months before another national tournament and less than 6 months before ASEAN tournament, but my heart is just not in it right now. I'm constantly worried about other things and not to mention the fatigue level involved. On top of that, the pressure of being the leader of the Jakarta Kendo Association and being the senior student kinda got to me. I haven't been able to freely enjoy practice as much as I did recently... So maybe a little perspective will probably do me good... In the meantime, I can concentrate more on my work, my gym work out and maybe throw in a little fun in there somewhere.
I am planning to take about a month's break... maybe a little more or a little less, then again I may even decided to pop back at practice this Saturday, should I be jonesing for Kendo by then...
