I've gotten my groove back!!!
It's been a while since i've been so pumped at training. i've met somebody that has further impressed me to continue improving myself. Sparred twice with a brown belter that has everything, same height, faster than me, has more reach than me, and he's younger. So much more potential, i'm jealous.
In the first match which was a tie, he was worned out by weight class (i'm 94 and he's 60+?), and i was keeping my distance with my kicks that weren't scoring but he was still blocking nonetheless. 2-all, i won because he jogai-ed (left the court). Ok difference of 1 foul. But the whole process, the idea that this person had the potential to be better, boiled my blood. Just when "Yame!" was called (stop the fight), he had fallen... with an open oppertunity to finish off. The at that instant i saw myself, in third person.
He will get better and so will I. I look forward to the next sparring meet.
Thought of the moment:
"It's been a damn long time since i blogged, Happy New Year you people"

Is this Iraq?
I lay down to sleep, but i can't. The night is dark and quiet. A long pause of silence and again interrupted with a sound or a bang. I can't take this much longer. It has been 3 days in a row, day or night there are explosions, sometimes in a continous fashion and sometimes really rapidly like the that of an MP5.
I hope this doesn't last long. It goes to show that despite the legislation and the security forces, we are all here to suffer. At this very moment as the end draws near (hopefully), there are still sounds of explosions, some just above my home and some in the distance.
This is Foong Hoh Yun reporting for GNN, on Deepavali in Malaysia.
Thought of the moment:
"Don't people ever get bored of burning away their money?"

In the face baby!!
Uni has started. Last saturday in a grading in Seapark. Got my face beaten up my Choon Ling and Garry. I've got a bruised/ bleeding lips as well as loosing a tooth. I just could carry on in the final match. Well went for a quick breakfast and rushed to the dentist.
Learnt a few things
1. I am not invincible.
Although i have the advantage of size, that doesn't mean my competitor can't be a cili padi (a whole bunch of whoop ass in a small package)
2. Be careful of the other competitor as well as my self
Karate sparring is just a sport, although it is suppose ot simulate realities of actual combat, it is point based scoring, not the number of teeth you can knock out of your opponent. Trust me after the amount of damage and blood that day, it looked like UFC(ultimate fighting championship), full contact fighting. Be aware that you're inflicting damage on another human being.
3. Use a mouth piece
Better to be uncomfortable for a moment than to suffer the loss of teeth.
4. Use a good pair of gloves for my sake as well as my competitors
Bare knuckle contact is extremely painful. Take precautions to save your knuckles from being broken and to save the opponent from damage.
5. It is just a game
It is just a game, what happens in the game is in the game. No matter what happens, don't hold grudges, and learn from mistakes (better to loose teeth in the ring rather than in real life)
Thought of the moment:
"I can't feel my tooth and my lips hurt"
