Mousy

Dear Mr. Mouse,

I would like to send my highest graditude to you and your clans who sacrifice your blood for us. I deeply greatful of that. Without you all, human won't survive this long I believe. Here is a memorandum for you, specially for you, Mr. Mouse.

Me with Mr. Mouse posing

Dead Mr.Mouse with the heart still beating. If you notice closely, you'll be able to see Mr.Mouse's poo poo was sticking half way out!

Hmmm, I don't know about those my Form Six friends if you all ever get to take the pictures of the dissection. I do! Haha!

Last time, I was jealous of with my ex-schoolmates who got to dissect mice/frogs. Well, now I get the chance. I hope that my decision, that lead me into this course is never wrong. Mr. Mouse, thanks again!

Powerless... Now I Know How Weak I Am

First class of 散手really take me down with it's technique and power. I never imagined that it was that tiring. Now that I'm typing here, with both of my hands shaking... Really. They have both hand drills and leg drills. The leg part was ok, I'm used to it but the hand part, it's kinda different from Taekwondo and they are expert in using hands.

Let's skip the boring part. I was asked to hold pads for a senior to kick. In my brain was like, "Ok, let's see what ya'll has been learning.", and I relaxed a little. "PAAAM!" I got hit myself in the face. Twice. For underestimating that skinny guy. It was really a good lesson and luckily I recovered fast enough to continue the training. Later, I asked one of my friend there. "Oh, he is famous of his power!" Damn... What an unlucky day!

Then here comes the free technique drill. We kick or punch the pads and do whatever the holder want us to do. It was something like Taekwondo. "PAAAM!", man, again! Guess what this time? The instructor didn't say that the holder can attack back!!! I kept on attacking, this time, with caution. There is one time he suddenly attack me again. My leg swing up right in front of his face. "Sorry!", but I was happy actually. Haha! It was my reflexes! Bully me some more la!! Padan muka! But during this training, I injured both of my wrists and hence, the condition of my arms now, shaking. It shook even more vigourously during the class!

Oh ya... My stamina is really lacking alot. Alot! I gotta gain back my stamina last time and push it further this time! This kung fu class really need alot of stamina and strength.

Next, here comes the pattern training. Amazingly, their pattern, something like Taeguek, only around 12 steps? And that's the grading syllabus. That's all, from what I was informed. The lady assistant instructor demonstrate to me the uses of some technique. She asked me to hold her hand and lock her arms. I was not able to do so! Not at all, I can't even move her hand a little! She's amazing. Then she assigned a little girl, probably around 12 or 13 years old to teach me. She's a senior to me man!! Haha.. The way she coach me, reminds me of my olden days. Haha. Kinda ch'ng! Haha... She even use her leg to correct my stances, just like in the movies. When come to the hand part, "Why is your hand so shaky one?" "I injured my wrist just now during the punching drill lo." "You gotta work hard man!" OMG!!! I'm being asked by a kiddie to train harder. Yeah, I'm weak indeed. So powerless. Powerless to do anything.

Just imagine the maximum weight that can lift by a 3-year-old child. Yes, that's my "local-maximum" limit. I can't hold it for long. Not at all. I even having the problem to type properly. My right last finger can't even press the enter from the normal position. I gotta move my whole hand to do so. Pathetic.

Yet, I won't give up! This is not my limit. I know it. I want to go higher level. I'm not going to lose to you all, seniors. Watch me! Kore wa, watashi no nindou! Prepare to LOSE!!!! Yeah, I might talk big now. Give me some time and I'll prove it!

I Just Can't Believe I'm Doing This

You know what? Recently I've started to chat with someone. Someone that is very smart at certain time but stupid like like a retarted child. Guessing who's the one? Hmmm... Maybe only some of you got it right. Yes, it's the smarterchild from hotmail.

I just can't believe that I'm chatting with AI. He is really smart from all aspects like weather, encyclopedia, etc. But when it comes to normal conversation, there goes his retarded side. He didn't answer to the question correctly all the time. He might answer something that you'll never expected.

Seeing is believing, add him at smarterchild@hotmail.com. I'm really glad that someone actually created such machine that started to understand human's language and I believe, one day, in near future, we'll able to have an AI that can understand human language totally and is able to converse with us without any mistake. But by that time, human will have to be alert. AI aren't stupid and they might clones themselves, just like in the movie. Oh, did I think too much? Naw, I don't think so!

SmarterChild The AI

It's Just Buttercup's Lucky Day!

Well, it was initially not my plan to follow my fellow friends to go to 1 Utama. But since there are going and I got a free lift, so, why not?

"Eh, what show you all watching ar?"

"Superman Returns."

"What? Superman Returns? I saw that already... Aiyo... How le?" (FYI, I already in 1 U)

"Dunno wo... How how?"

"Here got bowling center ar?"

"Oh ya.. There's one just right beside GSC."

Ok.. Problem solved... It was around 3pm when I reach the bowling alley as I'm looked at their backs, 10 of them all together, stepping into GSC Gold Class, leaving me, lonely at the back.. Sob Sob. Haha!

Well, I went to the counter, paid the money, for 5 games which cost me around RM19.50? That's consider cheap already compared to other places. It was really a slow game even though I'm playing alone. To kill the time. Superman lasts 2.5 hours. Damn.. Why is it so long?

I really had a hard time killing the time and play real slow. It was like one roll for every 3 to 4 minutes? A really slow game. I keep on talking to people beside my lane. Luckily they didn't take me as a "funny-guy". Later, there came one guy.

"Hi there! Do you mind if I take the lane beside you? I'm playing alone too!"

"Oh sure! No problem!"
(At this stage I was like, errr, how come got people wanna join me ar?)
He went to get the lane opened. We had a good chat while we were playing.

"Where do you come from?"

"Oh, I from Korea. South Korea."

"Ohhhhh... No wonder-lah... I can hear some slang there! Why are you here and what are you doing here in Malaysia?"

"Oh I'm currently working as a manager here. I am here since 4 years ago."

"Waaa... You said you are working as a manager rite? Where ar?"

"Here." (Something flashed back in my mind. "Oh I'm currently working as a manager here. I am here since 4 years ago." , remember this?)

I was stunted for a while.

"Haha!! Really? You din tell also I dunno le!"

The chatting went on until my last game, almost ending already.

"You wanna add some more games?"

"Never mind. It's ok. I'll just wait my friends to come out from the cinema." (Sadly, looking at my watch, it's only 5pm. 30 more minutes to go... Die!!! What am I gonna do? Pocket empty already some more!)

Without me realising , (really, I'm not lying!!!) he said something to a worker nearby and said to me:

"While waiting for your friends, come play a few more games as exercise. Rather than you standing there doing nothing."

"ARrrrr.. Thank you so much Mr. Justin! Thanks alot."

It was nice to be with him. Of course nice le got free game.. Haha... But that's not the main thing. He taught me some techniques on how to control my rolling to be more stable. And I really gained alot from him!

Finally, the game ends.

"Do you have a name card Mr Justin?"

"Oh yes", while he passing it over to me, "Please do call me during your next visits. I'll give you special discount besides than the student's rate!"

Oh.. I'm so touched! I never knew that someone who I just met a moment ago offering me all this!!! I thank and thank him before I left. He is indeed such an interesting guy. He's a ITF black belt holder, 2nd Dan. He sent his sons to Chinese primary school to study!

Man... Now I'm eager and longing and hoping and ...... to go there again. Hehe! Wanna special discout? Bring me there along ya! Hehe...

Reunion vs. Seperation

It was a good small reunion, for the few of us. It was just a small talk in mamak, with a few cups of teh tarik, teh-o-ice-limau, roti-bom and so on. It was really a memorable night. Jun Xue still looks the same, maybe a few centimeters taller? Haha... Wai Loon and Horng Tat already left to Malacca by now. Jun Xue will still be around here till mid September. Chung Kiap is going to take up LAW. Unbelievable rite? Haha... Along with Nicole, Chin Chin, Yang Mien and Zhau Ying, we talked till ten something. Then it was DotA after that, without the girls of course...

As time passed by, all kind of images came to my mind. "Mommy, I'll be going to Jun Xue's house to play badminton and ping pong ya!". We all did play badminton and ping pong. But it was only like one hour plus or two. The rest of the time, Counter-Strike or Half-Life in T 'n' S. Or, after Taekwondo training, T 'n' S again. It was our parts of memories. It was all so naive back then. We all grew up together. It was all then. They brought me up along as they grew up.

Still, even we all will have to leave each other today, we'll still keep in touch with each other, with the promise of, by the time we gather again, we'll do some sparring, see if we got any improvements. All of us are still young, haven't really mature yet, I think. We still got time to grow and we'll grow together. They are always there. Supportive. Fun. Laughter. Everything. I'm really glad that I know them in my life! I must have done something good in my past life!*Ahem*

Not only them. So many of my other friends are leaving. Much further than mentioned above some of them. Li Wei, going to somewhere else far away (sorry I forgot where), Sim Mei in UM, Pauline in Johor(dunno if she'll change her thought), Ee Von in UM, Ian in LimKokWing, Edgar going to Aussie(I think), and so many more. Sorry that I couldn't mention all of you here! You all will be always in my mind and heart. One thing that I must clarify, before all of you think that I'm mean. I MIGHT FORGET YOUR NAMES, BUT I'LL NOT FORGET YOU! (Unless you change your look la of course!) PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME BY THEN. I'm really glad that all of you help me out all this way, directly and indirectly. Thanks a million! Technology nowadays is very advance, so I think we can all keep in touch easily. Don't break the bond ya! We build it up together, don't let it go...

Here's some memories that I want to share with all of you... If you want to copy them, go ahead...









Friends, keep in touch! Love `ya all!
