Words that one may just hang on to.

~Mike Smith

We blog, therefore we are...

take a look at the dashboard and realized...i had did 63 postings on blogger.com, but then, its not like they're all that much interesting.

i guess i didn't turn out to be the blogging type^_^


any ideas n suggestion on what should i put in here?

So it would seems

So it would seems that most of us are deciding that blogging is just a bit more than fussy, with all the social networks available, and daily status and thoughts updating through those network. Its understood that which is more convenient.

Still, it'd be nice to see what everyone has been doing with their lives.

I'll just try to come up with something and post them here every now and then.

A repetition of our Taekwondo Black Belt Exam.

preparing for further instruction.

it's a turning kick.

It had been awhile since I stopped my Taekwondo training around the year 2005.
About a year ago, a Taekwondo gym opened near where I lived and along with a friend, we joined the club.

It had been a year since then, and on the 5th September, we got to repeat our Black Belt exam as the previous one does not count as a valid certificate.

Ironically, we get to use our Black Belt while we take an exam to obtain a Black Belt.

The grading test begins at 1pm, but our grading session is the last, which is after all the junior belts had their exam.

Although some of our moves are nowhere near perfection, we managed to do what we can.

The test consist of some of the Poomse (pattern), basic kicking, footwork, combination kicking, target kicking, advance jump-kicking, self-defense moves, non-contact sparring, 4-direction breaking (planks), and lastly tile breaking.

Here's a video of tile breaking. 

If we succeed in the grading attempt, we get to apply for a Malaysia Certificate for the Black Belt, and after that a Kukkiwon (Korea) Certificate as well.

I love this hobby:D

Borneo Highland Trip-29 August 2010

by the lily pool

unsuccessful panorama shot, but basically its like this:D

A trip to Borneo Highland purported by Shindow,6 of us and lotsa familiar faces we met.

It was dark when we reached the top and Heavy rain followed after, temperature drops and it was really chilly.

We had a fun ride to the top, get to have 1st close contact with a horse for most of us, played Chinese chess at the tea house and had fermented-bold PuEr tea while waiting for the rain to stop...
Taken pictures with vivid-full bloomed flowers.
Gets Beat by unforgiving rain...
The "Sakura" tree was claimed to be blooming near the Kalimantan borders but we didn't managed to join the Highland Tour(RM20).

As the rain continues its sequel by the late afternoon, we spend another hours+ at the tea house again, this time they guys played some MahJong, sipped some light-fragrant Oolong tea, there's also a Chinese music instrument show all the while.
The stream heading downhill was very rapid after the rain and we can hear the rush of waters while there.

The downhill trip was around after 3pm, and it's probably by the coolest temperatures of the day.

Beaten by rain and frigid winds, lack of serious fun...but, I sure had as much fun as I can where and while I can.
Hope the rest thinks so too^_^

The year 2010.

Well, it has passed the 22nd of August, and 2010 has seen through more than 3 quarters of itself.
Its so fast.

A lot has happened:D

So how's everyone's resolution going along^^?

A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

By,
Edgar Allan Poe
