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...
