4th kyu grading

This is my second grading since i joined aikido, but i felt extremely nervous during this grading.
Is it because my uke is not there? or did i not have the confidence in my own skills? Even though i've trained for a longer time, i'm still not mentally prepared for it.

The nervousness increased greatly when Dr leong sensei and Tony sensei suddenly arrived at the dojo. However, i was able to repressed my nervousness and brace myself to face the test with an unknown uke.

During the course of the grading, i did my technique steadily but my breath ran out quickly after i became uke. And while performing sannin gake ryokata dori jiyu waza, i accidently drag my foot against the tatami. And my foot ended up swollen =.= 

Well after my test ended, one of my junior told me: ''Hey, you are exhausted!''
And i agreed, my face was all pale. But compared to when i was practicing twaewondo, my face was 'green'.

All i have to say about my stamina is, "wow, my stamina sucks." And i wonder if thalassemia have something to do with my stamina???

And once again, i would like to thanks those people who wish me luck in my grading. Of all of the people i wanted to express my earnest gratitude to Ah shee (supposedly to be my uke) and the one who SMS me early in the morning, although i already woke up...
Lastly, i hope i'll perform better in the next grading!!  ^^
