~~My Wan moment~~

If you guys know me very well, I have a lot of “Wan moments”. Problem is I don’t jot them down. I think if I were to keep a record of all my moments and translate it into a comic book, I’ll surely beat the likes of Lat and Lao Fu Tze. Hee..

So, I’ll begin by penning down a Wan moment that happened on 18/11/2007. I have a friend, Zulkarni who was getting married. He passed me his wedding card quite some time ago. The card was so nice and I tak sampai hati nak bukak. Maklumlah, wrapping dia cantik. (Actually I left the card in my bike and thus I kind of malas nak tengok.)

Last 2 weeks, in the midst of discussion on the topic of marriage, Khaidir mentioned about Imran’s wedding falling on the same day as Zul’s. I had the impression that Imran will be married in 2 week’s time (which will be the Sunday that just passed la). Last Thursday, i thought that Zul’s wedding would be in the coming Sunday. Hence, I asked my girlfriend along on the fateful day of Sunday.

On Sunday, I left my house in the afternoon. I prepared my ‘Ang Bao’ and wore nice nice for the occasion at Chevron. My girlfriend had worn nice nice oso. When I was going to meet Shidah, I felt that I should at least bring along the card in case there would be specific instruction regarding the venue. So, I went to take the card. Was I in shock when I realized that the wedding is on the 2/12!!! Shucks.. It was a hot day and I was wearing a dark top. Shidah already wore a baju kurung. To complement our dress code, the day was super hot!! Kaww.. Paise man. Shidah must be bingit with me. Luckily we did not go all the way to Chevron just to discover that it was not on the day itself. Kental man.. Hee.. sorry.. Wan moment.

Flu Bug

Sigh.. I've been feeling sick for the past few days. Flu and stuff. Read from the news there's some new adenovirus spreading around overseas. Na'udzubillah minzalik. Hopefully this is not the case. Sheesh.. mood drop man..

Me, Myself and Shidah

A picture of me and darling, Shidah. Aww.. so sweet..

5th Nov - Lousy start

Had a lousy start this morning. Feels like @#$% waking up in the morning. Went home late last night from jalan raya. Anyway, the jalan raya was superb. Caught up with old friends like Ashraf, Wahida etc.

However, this morning, it was raining quite heavily and my bike had trouble starting. Did not bring out my bike for the whole day on yesterday because of the jalan raya. Come on.. Start man. After much throttling, the bike jumped to life. Rushed down to DSI. I nearly skidded when I entered the carpark. Luckily never fall. Paise man.

~~~Jumping back Thrust~~~

The images above were taken from the website: http://www.geocities.com/~pendekar/amir/amir2.htm, showing the sequence behind administering the jumping back thrust that I have been “kemaruk” about during my active silat days. Darn!! Can’t perfect it..

Timing is important in a jumping back thrust. Must look for the best opportunity when the opponent rushes in while executing a kick (eg: round house kick) before applying it. The sharper and more focused your kick, the deadlier.

However, can't apply it too often because doing a backthrust is kinda predictable unless you have mastered it to a level where you could do it lightning quick. Sigh.. Miss those days man.. :(
