100m fastest man on earth is 21 years old & his number is 2163 with the time of 9.69seconds.
It was a tiring Saturday. i was out the whole day & the minute i reached home, the 100m race was about to start. Phew, luckily i was ‘on time’. Bolt took the lead by seconds (i mean split of a second)!!
the run was fascinating especially for runners like myself. i personally best WAS 11.5 or was it 11.3 seconds when i was in secondary school. now it would be possible to break the record but definitely slower. haha.
how being focus has been pretty difficult for the past few days? Read the rest of this entry »
Two weeks ago (haha, yes i know it was long time ago), i had :
Fri – Tkd SU & SMK USJ 13 annual dinner @ Atrium Cafe, Pyramid
Sat – Tkd training @ SU only
Sun – Last day of Referee Training @ Cheras
Anyway, the dinner was ‘okay’ as in bad planning or no planning, last minute decision, time pressure & all. Didn’t invite the ex-member or planning not to or didn’t even plan of such thing. No performance, no schedule of events (actually more like no events). Feels more like a gathering than a ANNUAL DINNER. Both schools’ president are boys, probably that explains it all. Luckily, i had fun, oh wait, i always have fun.

After the dinner, a few of us head to red box & burn a hole in our pocket & sang our lungs out from 11pm till 3am.
Sat : training was as usual & tiring due to lack of sleep after a long ‘morning’.
Sun : Today is the last section of the tkd referee course of 18hours. yes, it’s 6 hours per Sunday. Reason i took the course is to update myself with the new rules & hand signals & points system. It’s my 1st time into sparing anyway(which in my opinion is not realistic as it’s more like a sport & point scoring to win).
The Corner Judges. Stick is Chung(blue), Knee Guard in red is Hung(red). IF you see a score raise the ‘thingy’. haha.
I am receiving a penalty (kyong-go)

The arts of martial art in tkd is declining here. The idea of tkd has become more of a sport than a true martial art of self-defense & body conditioning exercise. It becomes more of leg kicking body & head to score A POINT rather than to defend yourself in certain dangerous situation.
i will update about taekwondo annual dinner, taekwondo training & taekwondo referee training. Actually, i will just post the picture & TRY to write about it, TRY.
Yours truly,
