PD camp

This is like the 2nd time i went to PD this sem, the previous time i went there was just like 2 weeks ago. This time i was there for the NSGKA (Negeri Sembilan Goshin-Ryu Karate Association) camp. Stayed there for 3 days 2 nites at Casa Rachado resort. Overall the place was ok, they do have quite a lot of facilities. Basically here's wat i did there :

DAY - 1
2.00PM Arriving to Casa Rachado Resort, PD.
2.00 PM – 2.30 PM Briefing & Check-in
2.30 PM – 3.00 PM Light Refreshment (provide by resort)
-sum crappy cocktail drink, not much taste oso...
3.15 PM – 4.00 PM Ice Breaking Session (In door)
-this is when we were divided into groups of 6. Our group name is Formula 1 , cuz we are group 1 initially.
4.00 PM – 6.30 PM Jungle tracking (Outdoor)
- this trip took like one hour.. not really fun cuz it's kinda big group, some ppl had to slow down and there stop every once in a while. In other words , it was like slow paced, so not really my type of activity and it wasn't challenging at all. Kinda dull....
After the jungle trekking , we had tele-match. It wasn't that fun, partly cuz the fact that our team wasnt that competetive. Out of a few challenges, we oni managed to finish best 2nd spot.
6.30 PM – 8.00 PM Rest, relax and dinner (Cafeteria)
8.00 PM – 10.00 PM Seminar (Resort conference room)
This seminar is conducted by my master, Shihan Jimmy. It's basically bout the art of Karate. Once again Shihan mentioned and showed bout the difference in survival , street fight, self-defence and sports part of Karate. If you think Karate is all bout kick and punch , u are so damn wrong. Karate to me is another learning process. It is generally different from what we learn in skool or classes, it's more to the art of expressing the human mind , body and soul. There's alwiz something new to learn in training, there's alwiz room to improvement. I guess that's wat motivates me to keep on doing wat i like and i will alwiz give my 110% during the training. *wink wink*
10.00 PM Rest
After the seminar end we had group discussion on the drama which we are supposed to do for the following day.
10.00 PM Onwards NSGKA ANNUAL MEETING (Meeting Hall)
End of Day 1

DAY – 2
6.30 AM – 7.30 AM Morning Excitement
- ntg much of a excitement, it was sort of drizzling at the time we woke up. But after a while the rain stopped and we did some light warm ups and off we go jogging. First we went for like 1km before we stopped. There was one part which was kinda steep, uphill. Two seniors was leading the group and after joggin for a short while, u can see ppl dropping of, lesser ppl at the front pack. I was of cuz one of the leading pack. After a while we the two seniors in front stopped, there was oni like 6 ppl while the others catching up. After resting for like 10mins, off we go again, heading back to the resort, this time the two seniors which was sweeping at the back of the group is now heading the group and off we go back. From there i noticed that the whole bunch of grp is really lacking stamina. I was the only 1 who managed to catch up wif the two seniors in front, and in the end both the seniors was also tired and the end up walking. So only 3 of us walking bak while the rest are still kinda far behind. Not to say that my stamina is like damn good or wat, but seriously i think my level is just average. In mmu i think there's a lot of really fit joggers. I just felt that we're kinda lacking the physical training, probably our training is not tough enough.
7.30 AM – 8.30 AM Breakfast (Cafeteria)
The breakfast was ok, there was tea/coffeee , bihun, eggs, toast....
8.30 AM – 11.00 PM Obstacle Training (Outdoor)
Yes, the resort has a obstacle course. First you had to go through a low monkey bar, den there's this thing which u had to step through, ntg challenging, den we supposed to crawl through a round tunnel. Then there's another monkey bar, which is higher. My team got deducted marks cuz those guys, they assisted every1 during the monkey bar. Ppl like me did not get to do it myself cuz this bugger was holding my leg from below, told him to let go but he said so that no need to waste energy. As if it'll waste much of my energy..lolz... After that , we had to cliimb through a wall which is bout 6 feet high. Again not much of challenge. Then there's like tyres arranged in pairs, similar to those army training.THen there's this tarzan swing which most ppl dun haf any prob with. Followed by the commando stlye which you haf to crawl underneath through, there's spikes if you dun lower ur body low enough. During tHis challenges, i kena the spike cuz when i crawl past the thing i thought i was free from the spike adi, so i was tryin to stand up, but my back which is around my ass got poke by the spike and i drag is sum more, so there's this wound, and a souvenir at my t-shirt...can see a hole...damn crap. The place was kinda muddy sum more as it rained earlier. Lastly there's this huge tyre which ur suppose to go through it w/o touching it. Your members are supposed to pass you through the tyre and another members received from the other side. Our from was fast overall, but was deducted sum points.
11.00 PM – 12.00 PM Lunch (Cafeteria)
12.15 PM – 2.30 PM Water Challenge (Outdoor)
Not really a water challenge, but it's actually a crash course and getting use to the life jacket. We had a tutorial at the resort pool and we get to feel the life jacket. Those safety precaution before we head to the the beach there...
2.30 PM – 3.15 PM Tea Break (Cafeteria)
3.15 PM – 6.30 PM Water Rafting (Outdoor)
This challenges i think was the best among all the games. Each team were given 5 big tyre tubes, 3 long wood and another 3 short wood. We're supposed to design a raft and pedal ourself to a point in the sea and come back, with 3 teams at one go. It was actually quite fun, but unfortunately our team lost again, our design was so cacat, they put the frame below the tyre, which is weird. Usually the frame will alwiz be on top. I guess our leader should take the blame for that. Our raft seem to have problem moving, very slow, so some of us actually juz down the raft and tried to push the raft from behind. Initially i was rowing, but when we reached the point where we're supposed to turn back, i jump down and tried to give a kick. The water was damn 'ham' but wat u expect, it's sea-water. I do have to admit, i really have phobia, who knows like suddenly some shark come up and eat my legs, it din ran through my head. Maybe cuz watch too much jaws movies last time. But recently i did read bout a gurl who lost her arm cuz of that. So it was kinda fresh in my memory.
6.30 PM – 7.00 PM Free and Easy
7.00 PM – 8.00 PM Dinner (Cafeteria)
8.00 PM - 10.00 PM Prime time entertainment (Meeting Hall)
THis is the part when we're supposed to show our acting skills. I was unwillingly chosen as the hero, damn.. dunno why ppl like to push such big characters to me, cuz i dun seem to like acting at all. But at least this time i get to do wat i like..eheh like i mentioned previously, lolz..i was given a sort of like Bruce Lee role, so it was kinda kewl. Unfortunately the moves didnt turn up that good cuz i think my members was moving too fast. It was bit messy but overall ok. Our team got 3rd spot for this drama. ~Peace~
After the results we announced, the total points were tallied, and our team was tied on 3rd spot. Unfortunately my master declared another team as the winner of 3rd place cuz he said our team did a mistake during the water rafting. So we got back empty handed....
10.00 PM Rest
End of Day 2

DAY – 3
6.30 AM – 8.00 PM Light Training
We were supposed to haf light training, but den our master decided to let us enjoy and it was basically free and easy after breakfast.
8.00 AM – 9.00 AM Breakfast (Cafeteria)
Played 3 on 3 soccer with some of my buddies, it was quite enjoyable. To me soccer is alwiz enjoyable no matter, when or where and with who it's played.
12.00 PM Free and Easy and Check out
12.00 PM – 1.00 PM Lunch (Cafeteria)
1.00 PM – 1.30 PM Wrap up Briefing (Conference Room)
1.30 PM Depart to MMU

Martial Arts Corridor

Last few days was kinda hectic, as there's this Martial Arts Corridor event which was held for the last two days. I had to prepare the booth on Sunday with all the committees, did most of the carrying part while the gurls handled the decoration. I think everyone did a considerably good job. But i thought the Martial arts corridor thing was a bit pointless, cuz setting up the booth at central plaza doesnt do any good to the club. It somehow doesnt really justify the work put into it. The last two days i had to be at the booth throughout the day, at the same time, setting up the booth in the morning and packing it up in the evening, man it was really boring and tiring at the end of the day.
Luckily it's over adi, and it's time to turn back to studies as midterm is just around the corner. Having no time to study at all this weekend cuz i'm goin to PD camp training, really need to start studying 2moro. Somemore i'm free the whole day tomoorrow..whEEEE~! The oni major setback is the transportation booking for the camp training this weekend. MMU working staff is just so inefficient. Sigh...

Spurs 3 vs Sunderland 2

Another 3 points in the bag, and we're up to 4th spot. With Wigan continuing their losing streak, the league is shaping up as what everyone expects with Chelsea the runnaway leaders , 2nd and 3rd spot for Arsenal n Man Utd to grab. 4th spot however is open for anyone. Liverpool's recent surge place them well up there at 2nd spot at the moment but i'm still kinda sceptical with Liverpool doubt they can make it for 2nd and 3rd spot, probably 4th spot would be a good target for them and hope they dun prove me wrong. Hope Spurs can start a winning streak and consolidate their winning streak. All the best for the next match againts the Pompeys~! *wink wink*

Hanging by a moment

I'm desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me

Now.. I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm livin for the only thing I know
I'm running here and crashing where to go?
And I don't know what I'm diving in to
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to loose
There's nothing else to find
There is nothing in the world that can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

I'm desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm livin for the only thing I know

conFUSEd

i dunno wat's this feeling called .. it's like you wan something but it juz wont come to u . But when u dun't want it, it'll come to u..argHHhhhh. The only think i know is i hate this type of feeling...pissed me off... that's it i dun wanna care anymore....

Spurs 2 Wigan 1

At last 3 points in the bag, it's important for us to win that game cuz Wigan who is occupying the 4th spot which is the spot that we should aim for. Since the Toffees manage to do it last season why not Spurs for 4th spot??? Jol left out Defoe again this week, pity him cuz i think most of the games he did quite well. Nevertheless Keane is a capable replacement as well. Both can create as well as score goals and there's only one Keane~! yes only one *wink wink*

Looking forward for the next game againts the black cats...another MUST win game.

CNYE camp

Last thursday, i've been thinking bout joining sumthing which is kinda new to me...... CNYE Previously i've neva been involved in CLS events but nevertheless i figured out that since this sem i'm quite free, it wouldn't hurt joining sumthing dat can help me improve my chinese language proficiency and make sum new friends along da way. One of the reason why i've neva thought of joining anything related to CLS is probably cuz of the difference in culture. I'm not chinese educated while u can say that the club is mainly consist of ppl wif chinese educated background.

So, there's this camp which i attended, which was held last saturday n sunday for the working committees of the CNYE and some CLS high-coms as well. It was kinda last minute decision, thought bout it countless times cuz i was worried ..ehhe before the camp i was pondering how am i gonna mix with a chinese speaking group cuz i can't really speak chinese. I'm a BANANA~!!!

The moment we arrived , we were lead to our rooms. We stayed at the camp where the National Service was conducted. Our rooms are like those rumah panjang type. The rooms are quite clean unfortunately the toilet is not really clean cuz the water is kinda stucked and one of the bathroom has holes in it, large hole. After that, there was a short briefing and ice-breaking session. From there we were divided into groups. Our group name is ' xiao long nu' haha... and every group has a own sort of like team cheer, all thsse thanks to the brilliant idea of Suki. One heck of a lively gurl.
After lunch we had dances and then we had games. During the games i was kinda blur, very blur actually cuz all the clues are all in chinese. All i did was juz follow my team around not too sure wat's goin on. It's like a guessing game. I juz buta buta follow, if ppl yak si i oso yak si. The games wasn't that fun but towards the end of it, there's the obstacle course which is wat the NS guys did. Well it was a lot easier than i thought. I dun think i even need to break a sweat to complete. yeh man, it was dat easy..believe me. The only thing which were tough is the 12 feet wall, which we did not hav to do. It would hav been kinda challenging. The games took like 2 hours, after that we had time to bath, a lot of scenes in the guys toilet.... as usual....guys... and we had dinner after that. At nite there were more games and more dance.
Towards midnite there was like a sharing session where we went to the beach and split into our divisions and sort of tell our your feelings. Just for your info, i did talk ok and it was in chinese probably one of the longest sentence that i've ever form out of nothing. muahahahaha......
After the session there were still games for us which was crazy cuz the games are like non-stop all the way barely any time to rest.
The last game for the day was bit crappy, we were blindfolded and supposed to walk with the rafia string leading us. It was crazy cuz i stepped on this antz nest and both my feet were full wif antz..kena bite like shit. It's already been 4 days but it's still itchy. Sigh..

The next day after breakfast, we head to the beach and finally at least there's sumthing that doesnt requires you to be able to read chinese words. It's like bola baling type of game. Unfortunately our team lost the first game and no longer need to take part..lolz.. hmmm..somehow i hate losing man, cuz overal i'm a competetive person , when it comes to challenges like dis , i live for it. But then again win and lose is part of the game ; acknowledged that. After that there's more water sport games which was OK quite fun.. get WET babeh~

After lunch each team supposed to do sort of like drama. Uhh..i dun even wanna talk bout it, my acting skills are juz 'too good'. I think the only role i can take is those like Bruce Lee ..muahahaha
After all those there were more dances and songs den photograph session and saying goodbye to everyone bla bla bla... Overall i think the camp was ok, everything i did there was new to me. Neva done such things b4. Wanna thank V V for inviting me to go..eheh and also Li Wen of cuz, helped me a lot during the camp and the rest of my grp members. After the camp i felt that i'm actually NOT as BANANA as i thought. Probably all this while didnt really try to speak where else when i was at the camp i think i tried my best`~ and it's alwiz nice to make new friends.

signing off ciaozz

Soreness is wat i'm feeling

Last week was a hectic week , went for jogging on monday , karate training on tuesday , jogging again on wenesday , training again on thursday , went out on friday and played futsal on sunday. All these not including the weight training i did. Man, i think my body is still trying to adapt to my sudden hectic schedule. After enjoying 5 weeks of holidays i seem to have lost bit of fitness, although i do jog during the holidays, but not much... probably around once a week. I must have eaten a lot during holidays and didn't really balance it with exercise. Somehow my abs is like getting fatty . Man it's driving me nutz when i look at it. It used to look like this as seen in the pic below. Although not great but now it's worst. Think i gotta be more disipline and do like a hundred sit ups a day ...AT LEAST. I do take snapshots of meself once in a while just to keep track of meself. It's more like a self-reference rather than vain or watever crap dat u can think of. It's good for me to know the areas for improvement rather than asking some other people to check for me...lolz...
Today's training was great although my legs wasnt functioning well at all. Shihan(higher rank than Sensei) gave a lot of tips on ways to improve. It was really enlightening , juz hope i can remember all the important points. To think of it, the analysis of a punch and a kick still goes back to Newton's law. F = ma With mass constant it all depends on the burst of acceleration. There's where you generate a lot of force even though ur not the biggest person in the world. For instance.. Bruce Lee is actually quite small size but he's well capable of sending the sand bag hitting the ceiling when he does a side kick. If only he was alive, with all the new technology today it would be really interesting to find out how much force he can generate. Unfortunately, he died early but he's memories will remain as long as there's martial artists....

Langkawi Underwater World

Juz a glimpse of the Langkawi Underwater World , it was quite a short trip only took one hour in the place. Nothing like the Underwater World in Sentosa Island, Singapore. The one in Sentosa Island is way better than this one. The only thing which i really enjoy in the Underwater world is the penguin... kewl stuffz..

Langkawi Pics

Lee Kean Chien failed attempt of the bicycle kick. If i wasnt injured i could have shown him how it's done..lolz





The pics was taken at the beach which is located at the place we're staying. We also played beach soccer.. it was kinda fun except dat the sand was really rough.. our feets were hurting like nutz after dat..

Harry Potter & the Maxtor Hdd

Yesterday i din know whether to be happy or sad cuz the vendor contacted me "the item you sent for warranty is ready for collection". I sent my "kong-ed" harddisk for warranty as it kong-ed during the first week of da holidays..brilliant timing. I purposely bought the darn HDD juz so that i can store stuffz to watch during the holidays but it CRASHED~! and worst of all these years of my mp3 collection is gone..sum of my rare breed stuffz..ish.. feel like pulling my hair everytime i think bout it.. anyway bak to the time when i got the msg from the vendor..which means i haf to go down to Low Yat again...kinda lazy but wat to do.. and din expect to get my hdd back so soon cuz i juz oni sent it on the Monday, same week.

and off i go to Low Yat to get bak my hdd. Better still when i reached there, they told me they gave me a new hdd , guess they had no choice cuz it really crashed and burn... lousy maxtor.. anyway glad that i got a new hdd and hope dat it will neva ever crash like the previous one as long as i live.

Well there was oni 1 reason for me to go to KL today and dat is to collect my hdd cuz i badly need space. So many goodies that i'm missing out already. Anyway after gettin my hdd i had ntg to do..lolz..and since i came all the way i decided to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire.. kinda look forward to watch it considering i read all the books. Best of all i watch the movie alone ...ahah..for da first time in my life i went to the cinema to watch a movie alone... it's a good experience tho..eheh i'm sure not many hav tried watching movie alone. Being as unique as i am i think it's alwiz nice to experience new things in life..
My views on the movie, if i'm not mistaken the movie took oni 2 hours 30 mins , tho i think it could have been longer if u read the book before. But i think they did a good job with the movie as it highlights only the important things but i'm not so sure a person who doesnt read Harry Potter books will actually see the picture. Anyway i think the movie was quite good especially for those Harry Potter fans. *wink wink*. The only thing which bothers me that i still prefer the old Malfoy and the old Dumbledore. The previous Malfoy looks more evil and has better smirks and grins than the current one. As for the Dumbledore, the new one is too energetic very unlike Dumbledore. The old one is more convincing, the way he talks and move is like dying those type although he did die after that. Anyway, my point is Dumbledore is a wiseman who is patient and alwiz takes he's own sweet time. In the movie , the actor dat played he's role didnt haf the old hag type of voice. Didnt manage to bring the character to life..nopez din work for me..

2nd sem

2nd sem....hMmm...dunno whether to be happy or wat... there's oni one subject for me to take, wanted to add cyberprenurship , unfortunately it was full the staff wouldnt let me register. I believe partly cuz the subject is offered by FOM and i'm from FOE. Damn man.. i could have been in the same class as FOMs, at least for a change. It's not like wat u guys think ok, i just wanna have different atmosphere besides i'm just an innocent kidd , not like u peeps kayz. wat a waste anyway. As u know i only hav one subject this sem and the schedule is kinda free which is a good thing i guess. Monday 1 hour , Tuesday 2 hour and Thursday 1 hour...datz all... so wat da ya think? damn free rite? told ya so..
Planned to take Co-cu but den dis dumb subject, clash wif most of the Co-cu subjects. The oni ones left are Japanese which i dun really feel like taking at all. Actually the lecturer was willing to take away the thursday slot to enable us to take co-cu provided there will be class on wednesday and friday morning. Unfortunately majority of my coursemates would not take the trade... bastards... so there u go.. 2nd sem one subject more like a summer holiday... but indirectly it's giving me extra time to turn to club activities which is really good.

Spurs update

Man Utd 1 Vs Spurs 1

It was a tough game especially going down 1-0 so early in the game. A rare mistake from our safe pair of hands Mr. Paul Robinson. But 2nd half we got a deserved goal from a brilliant freekick from Jenas who has a great record scoring spectacular goals againts Man Utd and he looks to continue getting those sweet memories. I thought 2nd half we were brilliant, responded with the right attitude and we got a good result in old trafford. I am satisfied =>

Spurs 1 Vs Arsenal 1

1st half of the game , we were simply too good for Arsenal, all the players played well, we gave enough pressure for Arsenal and they just couldnt play their normal game. Although Arsenal were missing Henry, we were missing Davids so i guess it's fair to say the least. Great header from our skipper King gave us a narrow advantage for the first half. But we should have scored one more goal to at least kill of the game but we didnt. 2nd half Arsenal got a grip of the game and wif the introduction of in form Van Persie and Pires, they just could not do any wrong. I think Spurs should have put sum defenders for goal line clearance. The goal was open and Pires was there to guide it in. In the end we had to settle for a draw. I am NOT satisfied =<

Bolton 1 Vs Spurs 0

very harsh result for spurs...
we had a legal goal dissallowed , we hit the bar , we hit the post , shot cleared of the goal line , several wrong offside calls .....we totally dominated the 2nd half. Draw would have been a fair result.

Most of Spur's player played well particularly Defoe , Carrick and Davids who was all over the field but i think the reason we lost the game was tactical. We had four central midfielders in midfield , our gameplay was simply too narrow. We did not have any wingers at all. It's a pity that Aaron Lennon was injured just before the match. We totally lacked width, easy for Bolton to defend. I think Martin Jol made a mistaken taking off Lee so early in the game, our only player who can make overlapping runs... i dun really think Jol is good with tactical knowledge ..felt dat a few times he made the wrong substitution. If we had wingers in the team we could have easily won the game , we could hav stretch the Bolton team just like Chelsea did when they won 5-1.
In a nutshell, I am totally pissed off...

Holidays Summary

Well it's been long time since the last time i update my blog as u can see , was enjoying(not really the word to use to describe my holz..but who cares) my holidayz i think. The first week of holidays , went to Langkawi for a couple of days, it was an ok trip i guess. The only bad thing was i think i spend quite a lot during that trip... but wat to do , took a flight there adi 70bucks gone and came back by ferry which cost rm45 bucks. Sum more bought like 50bucks worth of chocs... could hav bought more tho..hehe very tempting.

The following of the holidays spend my day sleeping , watching tv , eat and eat and read Harry Potter. It was quite sum time since i read the 5th book Order of Phoenix, so i had to re-read it again and then only read the latest 1 which is the Half-blood Prince. I think overall the book was ok but towards the end it's getting kinda corny. Things which i'm adi sick of it haunt me again..those kinda superheroes stuffz which u can see in Smallville or Spiderman, where the hero feels the 'responsibility' and doesnt wanna get involved in relationship kinda thingy, dat kinda sux. J. K. Rowling if ur reading dis..dude u gotta be more creative kayz~!

The next few weeks of holidays i started learning cooking. I adi had thought bout learning cooking even before the holidays started. It's alwiz my dream to be a useful person sort of like multipurpose, sum1 who can do lotsa stuffz. Well probably got that idea from my mom, she's just so good that she can do a lot of stuff by herself. Anyway after a few weeks doin cooking i find it kinda easy, definately easier den i first thought. So now i'm capable of cooking either western or oriental food. You name it i got it *wink wink* but i still need to improve on the variety of my western cookin cuz i oni know how ter cook spagetti...eheh as for oriental no prob..whether it's cuttlefish, beef , chicken or vege...i can handle.. yeah babe~

Spurs 2 - Everton 0

It's been another brilliant week for spurs mantaining their current form with a home win againts the strugglers ; Everton. Not many have bet againts Spurs and with Everton's recent dismal form, the win is not bit suprising. Hail the Midos touch...yeH babe~! and all da best to JJ -> Jermain Jenas , hope he'll defy more critics and show why we paid 8 mil pounds for him~! yeh babe..~!

Back from Eagle Bay

Home sweet home.... came back home (BM,Penang) after so long, it's been like 2 months since the last time i came back home. Somehow felt a bit homesick, partly cuz din get much sleep in Langkawi so felt like just wanna go home quickly. Reached home yesterday night, and straight away went for bak kut teh for dinner..man i'll just eat anything as long as it's not cyber hostel food. Anything not hostel food, i'll eat at least two bowls of rice. Sweet~!

Today the first thing i did was cut my hair...it's so freaking long adi, didnt cut for months..i've been waiting so long to cut it. Purposely waited till i come bak home and go to my regular saloon to cut it and now it's short and comfy. At least my hair doesnt cover my face when i'm eatin and it's neat at the back not all over my neck... great feeling..hehe...

Overall the trip to Langkawi was alrite i think, 3 days 2 nights...think i've adi seen enough of Langkawi during the 3 days. We stayed at a chalet which is located by the beach, kinda like the beach area just that went there wif bunch of guys, so it's a bit wasted. If i were to go there again it has to be with a girl at least...it's a promise *wink*
The first day we reached there, we checked in to the hotel den we went for lunch at the town area den did sum duty free shopping, basically just buy sum stuff to eat and drink for the nite. After that we went searching for a ball, with such a nice place at the beach, it's just lacking a ball. Beach soccer is MUST~! in Langkawi it's just so hard to get a ball, damn...went searching , shops after shops but still cant find. There are balls at shops like NIKE but who da heck needs sucha expensive ball just to satisfy our desire for the few days... after failing to find a ball in the town area we decided to head back to our chalet , on the way bak...guess wat we saw sum cheap BALLS..so we manage to get ourself a ball and we head back to the chalet happily. On the way back we went to the Go-kart to inquire bout the pricing and stuffz..it's bloody expensive 35 bucks for just 10 mins...it's sort of like throwing money away... not worth it..so we din go for it. After dat we bought sum food at the pasar ramadan for dinner and head bak to the beach for BEACH SOCCER..yeh babe~! we had a 3 on 3 since there were 6 of us.. damn i just miss playin soccer so much, din play for like a year adi, i think cuz dun haf kaki to play with...probably next sem hopefuly i'll join my other frens to play. The only horrible part bout the beach soccer was the beach area, the sand was damn rough, and my skin tored both feet and it bleed, so i had to stopped playing sad case.. and after that i was limping all da time till today..but it's okay adi today, it's healing. Hmm..too bad i cant show any pics here cuz i dun haf my camera cable wif me, but will post it soon when i haf it. At nite i think u know wat a bunch of guys will do, drank, play cards sum of us were so drunk, lol..damn funny to watch , for me i didnt really get drunk just bit of headache partly cuz i didnt drink as much as sum of them who vomitted...hahha...worst of all both my feet was like hurting so i didnt go out basically just stay in the room , while sum of them went to the pub which is just beside the resort, there's this bunch of reggae band singing bob marley's songs. It was a lengthy nite, just couldnt get any sleep at all.

The next morning we went for island hoping, 3 places, first place is the island with a lake in it, 2nd one is the eagle feeding place, interesting to see so many eagles..quite kewl , the last place was an island where we can snorkel...basically that's it, for 28 bucks i think it was ok. After coming back from the trip we went to town to get our lunch , all of us were freakin hungry already and we did shoppin again or rather they did shoppin again, cuz basically i adi bought the things i wanna buy the first day we went out. They got the drinks for the nite as usual, and after that we went round the island, we had a nissan sentra to move around throughout our stay. That nite i wasnt as drunk as the rest, think i was probably the sanest person dat nite, partly cuz i did not drink as much as them. I'm dun really drink much actually , dun smoke as well. It's been quite sum time since the last time i drank, just don't feel like gettin drunk till vomit , it's just krazy. I still remember the last time i vomitted, i was quite young back then, it was during cny when i just kept drinking the bottle of wine glass after glass and ended up gettin headache and vomitted the whole nite...lolz..

Throughout the 2 nites, all of us slept early, kinda unusual, partly cuz there's ntg to do there and sum of them adi drunk like hell..so by 11pm all adi lying dead adi. The following and final day at langkawi , me and ah lin went to underwater world, cuz the rest all went there adi. So it's just the two of us. I was slightly dissapointed with the trip, cuz after seeing the hype one of the best in asia, it was ntg near the 1 in sentosa island, which i went for like almost 10 years ago.

After checking out of da hotel, we took a ferry to Penang. It was a long ride man~ but for first time it's ok...no more 2nd time tho...lolz That's all for da langkawi trip =P

Looking forward

Tonite shall be the last day for me in Cyber dis sem, 2moro morning will be goin to Langkawi by flight. WHeeeeeeeeEeeeeeeeeee~! Looking forward to snork snork and snorkel there. HmmM other den dat not sure wat's i'm gonna do there. Probably just relax and enjoy da beach. *wink* The next blog update will b after Langkawi...wHeeeEeee

Why F1 is so fun to watch this year?

Suzuka, Japan - 2nd Last circuit in the F1 calendar, no doubt one of the best races i've ever watch, full of excitement as usual rite to the very last lap. The top drivers had a fantastic race Kimi, Alonso and Fisichella who did well until he came out from the pits for the last stop and best of all Michael Schumacher sux as usual. He was overtaken by Alonso and Kimi so many times in one race..lolz..damn fun to watch. F1 has been fun to watch this season compared to last season cuz it's just so nice to see Schumacher running out of luck, being over-taken , crash...it's so damn nice. Congrats to the champ Fernando ALonso who became the youngest champ eva. To top the icing, provided Renault can win the constructor's championship as well, they had a briallint year, so reliable all da time. McLaren hasnt been as reliable and i think that cost them the championship, if not mabbe Kimi would haf won it or probably the points margin would hav been smaller. It's also a fantastic year for all anti-schumi fans...lolz... hope he's run of bad luck continues next year ..wheee~!!

* 3 words to describe her.. Veni Vidi Vici.... She definately proved me wrong, i used to think that women tennis is great to watch up to quarter-finals cuz after dat there's where the woMEN plays. But i shall take back my words. She's not just a beauty she's the current world No.1 in women's tennis. At the age of 18, she's definately succesful, making money not just thru winning tournament but lots of off the court earnings. Having clothing sponsored by Nike says it all. As we know Nike only sponsors those who are marketable and of cuz she is ..duh~! Just look at watever she's wearing it's all wif a TICK man...isnt that kewl??? Well Nike is kewl, who doesnt want to have nike stuffz but it's kinda over-priced these days. Most of the clothing are made in china, indon , SEA countries where labour aren't dat costly. Not worth buyin IMO. woopz a bit off the topic here.
Anyway Sharapova Rulez babeh~! All da best for her to retain her No.1 spot for years to come. Goddess of tennis..yeh babe!*

1 day after 'freedom'

It's already one day since finalz finished. Holidays has started. Started the day of waking up at bout 10.30am tried to continue sleeping but just not used to sleeping past 10am. Overall had a quiet day, spent the day watching south park, listening to music , download stuffz,cleaning the room,washing clothes, watched sum K1 -kickboxing matches as well. Kick-boxing is kinda kewl and no doubt it's one of the toughest sports for martial arts especially Muay Thai. It's just so hard core and it's just amazing that the fighters can take so much blow. It's crazy to think of it. Their shin is just so hard that even if they kick a lamp post, the lamp post will bent for sure. But it's just crazy to be on that level cuz ur nerves at ur shin area must have died after so much of kicking. Well if u ask me whether i wan a leg which can kick a lamp post , of cuz i wan but at the same time i wouldnt want a leg wif rotten nerves. Some of those Thai fighters had no choice but to train hard to make a living.
Anyway, back to my quiet and simple day. I think most of my coursemates had adi gone back hometown. For me i think i will be around till next monday. WIll be taking a flight to Langkawi this coming Monday so had to stay back while the weekend approaches. Today was a very peaceful day, all alone by myself in the room. I think i'm getting very use to being alone. Very much becoming so independent and it's not a prob stayin alone. I'm becoming a LONER -yeh babe~!

Did sum kicks today, it's been quite sum time since the last time i practise my kicking. Wat to do..the last few weeks damn busy wif the assignments , presentations and exams. After watching k1 and sum Muay Thai, it has renewed my motivation. It's alwiz nice to watch the videos or Bruce Lee movies, it usually gives me major boost to train. My kicks has become so slow and rusty adi...sum more yest went for a jog, today my thighs are kinda sore, din jog for like more den a week. Damn CRAP 2moro gonna go jog , and train train and train the hole day~! yeh babe~!

it's oveR

At last it's over...finals is over...hahahahaha it's da HOLIDAYS - 5 weeks, yeh babe~! Having only 3 papers for finals this time it has not been any easier. The first paper was ok , better den i thought, 2nd paper was a killer and the last one was ok as well i think. This miserable sem has ended and i'm glad. Things have not been good this sem. Didnt study much, lack concentration, ,most of the time it's like just f**k it. Definately one of the worst sems. Don't think it has anything to do with my environment tho my room doenst really haf the studyin tension. My previous rmate was good, alwiz see him study study study. He got so much motivation to study and it sort of push me a lil to study. Hmm.. my current rmate damn steady, neva seen such steady bugger b4. Ppl study for finalz dis guy study 'pak-toh-logy' tsk tsk tsk... *shakehead*
Damn i feel so guilty for not studyin as hard as i should. I feel guilty towards my family cuz i did not live up to my expectations. In the beginning of the sem i just really dun haf the mood to study, even tho if i'm studying, it juz didnt enter my head. Anyway gonna make sure next sem will be different.~!

Spurs stunner

A great win for Spurs last weekend saw them climbed up to 3rd in the EPL. Superb stuff from Spurs coming down from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Superb fighting spirit~! Yeh babE. Robbie Keane did it again by grabbing the winner coming on from the subs. It's great that we have two great strikers Keane and Defoe. Unfortunately only one can play at a time. But no matter who plays i think both of them can do the job equally well. As for our supporting forward Mido, great job as well. I have doubts for Rasiak if Mido were to get injured. I dont think he can do the job. Hope we'll shop for a new forward when the transfer window opens in January.

Aston Villa 1 Tottenham Hotspurs 1

Away from home and Spurs once again struggle to win. It seems that their away form hasn't improved since last season. Although Defoe should have scored from the penalty spot but villa have been threatining throughout the match. Perhaps a bit lucky for Spurs but den again they improved in the 2nd half ,finishing strongly and almost steal all 3 points from the villain. A lot of promise from Spurs as well as expectation for them to qualify for Europe next season. I believe they can do it .... Spurs all da way~!! ;)

Malaysian Idol sux

This week really sux man, for Malaysian Idol , i think i wont be bothered to watch the finalz adi..why? cuz Farah is out. I thought she deserved to be in the finalz with Daniel. But sadly that wasn't the case and of all person Nita is in the finalz. Y shouldnt Nita be in the finals?? cuz she sings regularly in pub but she still have pitching problem and she's very inconsistent, so much for a experienced singer, not even near Jac the first season winner's standard. Very dissapointing indeed. I'm juz bitterly dissapointed that Farah did not enter the finalz, althought i think the winner has already been decided -> Daniel,neva been in the bottom 3 b4. Nevertheless all da best to Farah, hope she'll make her own album which i'm sure sum recording company will sign her up~! I'll be the first to download ur album, Farahhhh~!!!

End of Week 13

It's been a hectic week having to demo for mini project on monday and then supposedly do the presentation on wenesday but since there were 19 groups, and there's not enuff time for all to present so i had to wait till friday... alwiz preffered to go first on things like dis.. somehow will get kinda itchy waiting for my turn..fortunately on friday i get to present first. The best thing bout my presentation is we included a montage, unfortunately the dumb lecture room speakers aren't working, so right before my presentation i was already dissapointed. So having to get going i just do what i hav to do, but i think i should have done much better, didnt felt streesed or nervous talking but den the speakers not workin in lecture room somehow affected my mood, which shouldnt happen. And my lecturer din ask any question to me in particular which i think is a bad sign.... had a bad feeling bout it. I was waitin for him to ask something cuz i think i've covered my part well unfortunately he didnt , all he ask was sum dot in the diagram....damn crap.. "pei hui cha tou". After finishing my presentation and followed by few other groups , there was interruption as another lecturer came in and told my lecturer dat he adi booked the room , so we haf to pack our stuffz and go to another room...and wat da ya know ..dat room got SOUND wehHHHHhhhhh~!!! so..hehe after gettin the lecturer's approval we were allowed to play the montage at the end of the presentation. yeaH babe~ In the end it was juz the way i wanted, i think my lecturer had a good laugh at the clip n hope the rest of the class enjoyed it, i thinnk they did. Special thanks to my roomie HaRRy for helpin me compile the montage gonna belanja him~. So , finished doin demo for project on monday and also and to pass up a assignment on da same day , had to rush to prepare for my preseentation on wed and pass up another assignment on the same day and finally on friday finished presentation. There goes week 13~! yeh babE~! So for now, left only one technical report to finish and den it's all bout da finalz babE~!

Engineers are stupid smart people

Here's why...

Most of the time when people from other faculties or not in engineering field knows that ur studying engineering, they go woaahhhh... there's no doubt engineering is tough to study but of course it's not impossible ... impossible is nothing... Adidas..yeh babe... anyway it's actually a wonder why people choose engineering for careers, well it does get u decent pay but then again it's not gonna make u the richest bastard alive...not even close... juz look at the richest people alive... how many are related to engineering??? and the thing is like u haf to study so much, to think of it, it's not worth it actually. The thing is dat ur salary will be pretty much constant throught ur whole life... it'll b good enuff to own a car , a nice house support yer family and live happily ever after ? if u actually think like dat..go bang ur head on the wall a zillion times c'mon mann~ we all need to be ambitousss~~!! we demand MOREEE~!! Lifestyle of da RICH & FAMOUS~!! as for me take the FAMOUS out of da equation, cuz i think dat most famous ppl would want to have more privacy, it's true , they get stalked too often by da media. Anyway , referring to the subject above ; engineers are stupid smart ppl, as we know engineers are usually intelligent ppl they study so much just to earn moree money, but in a company usually the top level of the organization are the ones who are really earning. When the company does well they become richer where else the engineers still earn around that amount of money. The funny thins is that to be at the top level of management you don't need to have high IQ , dun need to be a genius, but of cuz u haf to be at least smart not stupid. If you did read those Robert Kiyosaki's books i'm sure he mentioned before, u need bit of intelligence no matter wat ur doin. The oni main skills that i see in top level managent is the ability to lead and of cuz the ever important communication skills also bein able to control smarter creatures; engineers. The ones that are really earning is the top level management and the one who really works their ass of is the enginners. For engineers sadly that is the way it is, even more sad is... i am goin to b an enginner in the future.
But of cuz it's not the end of the world, there's still plenty of other opportunities in dis world as long as u take ur chances when the time is right. So , future engineers, chill man , dun get stressed out too much , enjoy life babe... There's plenty of things to look into other den juz engineering field =>

Wiseman cares NOT for what he cannot have but what he can have

To join or not to join?

Juz finished my last midterm paper, wHooo...sayonara midterms hello assignments :< It's a cycle that happens every semester whether u like it or not. This is uni life i guess.... For me life at times is like too packed during the semester with exams , assignments or karate but when it's holiday it gets too boring ended up missed those thrills of having to study for exams. Guess it cant be helped, datz the way it is...

Finalz exam schedule is finally out today, my paper will be on the 26th , 28th and 4th. Only three papers for the first time in MMU as i'm taking 4 subjects only this semester and one of it doesnt required to sit another for any test which is the Mini Project ---> i'm lovin iT... no regrets takin it at all... Now the BIG question here is juz one day before my finals which is on the 25th i have a freakin karate tournament, so i'm still thinking whether i should take part in it or not. Something that i've alwiz look forward for. It will definately be a waste if i didnt make it. Sigh...of all days, if only i have one day gap between those two i would have gone for it. This really makes me having to think throughly bout it. I might be already half dead once i come back from the tournament and wat more having to take a paper the following morning. I shall think bout it over and over again till i feel can make the riGhT decision~!

Spurs's Jinx Continues...

The jinx continues...wat more can i say, it's definately not a red card offence by Mido, probably Chelsea must have paid all the referrees in EPL.. :P It has definately ruin the outcome of the game else it would have been a even encounter. Spurs had a great start to the season following two wins without conceding a goal againts Portsmouth and Middlesbrough respectively. Chelsea is gettin a lot of luck at the moment..things juz can't seem to go wrong.. i guess that's why the are the champion.Anyway, we shall look forward for the next game Spurs againts Liverpool, let bygones be bygones....

Lazyness crept into me

Well... haven't been updating my blog lately, partly cuz when i'm free i juz take my time resting. It has been a busy month with midterms, karate and my training routines. Sadly there's still one paper for midterm which is tomorrow. I'll be glad once it's over but then again i still have my Mini Project to finish and assignments as usual. Things juz seem to pile up towards the end. Not to mention that i have to get myself in shape for my Karate tournament early next month. I'm startin to feel the heat i think...haha.... Hopefully, after finals i will update my blog more often..

There goes the weekends

Although it's been quite a lonely weekend, partly cuz my rmate went back hometown and as usual hostel area is like a dead place during weekends. The only thing i did was practise a bit for the coming demo next week. Initially there were 12 ppl in the demo team , then it became 10 then 8 , then eventually left 5 people. I had doubts on whether we should continue this demo, i wouldn't wanna spoil the image of the club but then again , like they say " The Show Must Go On".
Yesterday was quite a day, i really wanted to get a new gi but the shop is in Cheras, near Leisure Mall, it's kinda far and there's no direct bus there and my fren was not free to fetch me there so i had to find a way to go there. I actually took a bus all the way to KL and from there change to a bus to Kajang and reached Leisure mall. When i reach there i was hungry cuz it's almost 3pm , so i've decided to have MCD fer lunch first. Then when i reached there, the shop was already closed, luckily the shopkeeper is still there and about to enter he's car when i stopped him. My main target was to buy the Kwon brand, a german brand, unfortunately they don't have my size and the design for the gi is kinda broad , more to european style. So my options were narrowed down to either Tokkaido of Shureido. The day before that i've done some research online to see if there's much reviews on those gis. From my search i found out that not many ppl are using the Kwon gi, Tokkaido and Shureido are definately the top brands and most people say that Shureido was the best. So i tried on both gis, and felt that the Shureido design fits me better, so i did not hestitate to go for in. But it was definately a hole in the pocket, it cost me RM 480 man....crapz.. Immediately that nite i tried it on, throw sum punches and kicks and it was gReat, value for money..ehehe wat u expect from a RM 480 gi... So my first day wearing it should be on the coming Wenesday during the Interfac demo, till then sayonara~

Moody

Not in a good condition to train today, cuz i've injured my foot yesterday during training. My slap kick landed on my opponent's elbow. At first it was still ok, but after training finished, my foot swelled. Today it's still sweeling but it doesnt really hurt, so i'm still undecided whether to go jogging tomorrow or not. My back is still aching a bit, need to slowly increase the intensity of my training, need to take it slowly. My reverse punch speed is still about average, need to bring it to another level. Hopefully i can do 100 reverse punch everyday in the next few weeks time. At the moment it's still about getting used to doing reverse punch over and over again everyday. At the same time, need to train more on kata as well, as next week i have to do a demo during the Interfaculty opening ceremony. At the same time still need to allocate some time to study..sigh. Don't really have the mentality to concentrate well in lectures and even when i'm reading notes, most of the time my mind is not there. What is wrong with me??? I guess i can't get over the things that happened to me bout a month ago. Everything is still kinda fresh in my mind and there's virtually nothing i can do bout it...alrite enough talkin bout this sad chapter of my life, which i'm still tryin to erase from my life.
Was damn bloody pissed just now, there's a hair line crack on my nunchuks already as a result of hammering just now, i just need to adjust the gap, but i cant get a nice knot..sigh, wasted like half an hour on it and still cant get it done. dammit...and i need it to practise for the demo next week...bloody shitttttttt anyway dat's all today i guess... need to sleep early cuz 2moro got a dumb tutorial at 8am ...hate morning class...

End of Monday

Wat a hectic day man... woke up at 9am , chill a while had my breakfast .. Coco Crunch with milk my fav... after that had to finish my mini project report. Then i had to prepare for class at 12. Today classes are from 12-7pm straight. Torturing especially towards the last two hours of class and the curent lecturer for Intro to Power System really sux.. wif he's indian slang , who da heck suppose to understand wat he's talkin bout.. Then at bout 8.30pm had to Interfaculty meeting, it was really a unnecessary meeting, in fact a waste of time, the committees should have post the announcement online. I was there on behalf of Karate-Do club, all martial arts club are invited to do a demo during the opening ceremony of the Interfac games. The timing of the demo couldn't be any brilliant, it's bout one week more to go, and with no preparation at all, it's gonna be a bit tough to practise together as a group in such short time. Nevertheless, i think it's gonna be a simple demo, mostly on kata i guess.
After the meeting i came back and immediately do some training, sumthing that i've been neglecting for the past few days, just don't have the time. Even though i need to pass up a lab report tomorrow but i just need to do some training. I am still very focus on my goal.... Did some light training, mostly on techniques; Gyaku tzuki , mawashi geri , jodan tzuki and jumping. Did very little physical training today as time is always the constraint. 20 push ups , 20 crunches , 10 leg lift for lower abs , streching ...
After finishing my training it was already 11sumthing , rest a while..took a bath and den had to do the dumb power electronics lab report, it's damn a lot. Definately have to continue doin it tomorrow morning. Monday is always a hectic day, dats why i hate mondays~!!! Luckily it's over at least for a week.

New found spirit

Today i was at the Internation Seibukan Shorin Ryu Karate tournament. I was there not as a participant but to have a look at the elite fighters around Malaysia. When i was there, the fight has already started ; the 55kg category. As usual, in this category the pace is faster, punches and kicks flying in...at times there's also takedown. If i were participating i would have been in this category. After the matches for the category ended i went over to greet my master who is with the rest of the team; Negeri Sembilan Goshin Ryu Karate Association (NSGKA) , MMU Cyberjaya Karate is under them as well. I was kinda squeezed when he asked why i didnt participate. There's actually some miscomunnication. He actually told one of the senior to ask if there's anyone from MMU who wanna participate in this tournament, unfortunately this bugger did not inform anyone. So there goes my chance of at least gaining any experience. To win any medal would be a bit hard cause there's no preparation at all at the moment, but still i would have train hard if i was told about this tournament earlier. Wat a dissapointment...

Watchin those guys fighthing really drive me nutz... my desire to fight is burning like hell... and the intensity during that time was amazing.. especially during the 65kg category, their punch are freaking fast, good step in, brilliant counter, great timing, and lightning kicks. But as the day progressed, the higher the weight category the matches were kinda dull, there's not much of standout fighters.

Anyway watching some of those ppl fight did gave me some ideas on my training areas. I was told by my master, Shihan Jimmy that there will be a tournament during September which will be my aim. I wil make sure i'm ready for that tournament. With my new found spirit, it has renewed my desire to win the next tournament i participate. Yoish~!!!

After coming back from the tournament, i still have to finish my dumb lab report. Since this sem i'm taking a new subject called Mini Project, 6 hours of lab every week plus lab reports every week and also on the spot evaluation during lab sessions. It's really taking up my time at times, making it hard for me to do trainings. But then again, i have no regrets taking this subject bcuz i think it will help me improve my analysis skills and also train my practical skills which i hope will make life easier when doing the final year project next year. Another nice thing bout this subject is that it doesnt have any midterms or finals nor assignment which means that i only have 3 midterm and finals paper. kewl huh...

Wat a stupid day..

Today's main objective is actually to go to the Titiwangsa indoor stadium to watch a international karate tournament. So started off the day waking up late at 10am , had a half-boiled eggs as breakfast and off and i go to Titiwangsa at bout 11am with Mr. CD. Unfortunately when we reached the Titiwangsa indoor stadium, there's no such event. After calling my senior, found out that the tournament is in Sg. Wey, dun really know where the heck is it, but Mr. CD knows where is it. We found out that today is for the juniors , so we've decided not to go to Sg Wey. We will go to Sg. Wey tomorrow to watch the senior's event. I dunno where the heck i got the idea that the tournament is in Titiwangsa, but i think i heard from someone that's it's there.

Anyway, after that we decided to go ronda, since it's still early. So me and Mr. CD decided to go to martial arts shops bcuz i've decided to get a new Karate gi(uniform). Firstly, we went to a Adidas shop near KLCC. I heard from Mr. CD that there's a lot of uniform's there and it's up to RM 1000. But when we reached there, the shop is already closed down. I guess they don't have any business there. Anyway i don't think i would've have bought a Adidas gi, cuz i think i'll be paying more for the brand rather den the quality. So off to the next shop we go.

The second shop is in Pudu and it's call Everybody Martial arts. Unfortunately they don't have much choices there tho they do have more Taekwondo uniforms i think. There's a lot of other martial arts equipments and weapons as well. The only gi that they have is a RM 60 and a Bokaido RM 290. The bokaiddo one looks okay, the material looks tough and it's really really heavy, a few kgs i reckon. Not much people are wearing it anyway partly bcuz of it's weight, not suitable at all for kumite, only for Kata for sure. So i've decided to think about it first and probably consider other options.

After going for a drink, we went to the third shop, Oriental. It's nearby Leisure Mall. It was good to see that there's many choices there. They different2 price range. Initially i was willing to pay bout RM 200- 300. There's one gi which is Oriental brand, it's for Kata cuz it's considerable heavier than normal gi and it's bout RM 180. I did ask bout the Bokaiddo brand and i could get it for RM 180 a lot cheaper than the previous brand but i think the material is different. Then the shopkeeper show me 3 different gis all at RM 510. There's one is Tokkaido which is well known among seniors , another one is new in town and it's called Kwon, a german brand and another one which is from Japan i think but i cant remember the name. The Kwon really caught my eye cuz somehow it's like love at first sight....damn nice..but to think of it it's over my budget. I was only willing to pay up to RM 300. Then i gave a hard thought of it, i think i can consider it a long term thing, cuz i don't think i will be changing gi for at least another more 5 or 10 years or even more. So i've decided to go for it. i've made up my mind i'm goin for KWON!! After negotiating for a good price, the guy offered it to me for RM 450 which i think is reasonable. The shop doesn't accept credit card, so i had to go to the nearest atm to withdraw. After goin bak to the shop, to get check out the suitable size, they didnt have my size. I was told to come bak again next week.

That was a bit of dissapointment i guess. If not i would have the semangat to train tonite. So i will still haf to postphone my desire to train till next week. It's alwiz a dissapointment when i dun get wat i want. Not having much patience made things sink in also. When i got home and look at my watch, it was showing 12.45pm..which is strange cuz it was like being out the whole day. Only to found out that the battery died at that time, and the actual time is already 4 sumthing.. the cheery and icing for a dumb day...

2moro's plan

It's already past midnite, and i dunno wat da heck hit me and drive me to create a blogspot. Anyway here's the product of my moment of inspiration, i shall give it a try. Just came back from jogging bout an hour ago with my roomate. This is actually the first time for me jogging inside campus, usually i'll jog to the Cyberpark. Nothing special there just that it has a better jogging environment.
