Pernah dengar nama Daing Danielfitri? Few years back, he was quite popular especially among the Taekwondo practitioner. He had performed some plank breaking and other tkd techniques in MHI. He even went to one of the sports universities in Korea to learn more on the art of footwork in tkd (he was still in primary school at that time, kalau tak silap la). I bought the SB magazine yesterday, found an article on him. At the age of 18-19 he is running his own tkd academy. Erm...wish I'm filthy rich! and have my own gym!

When I was in my second year, I attended a...erm...was it a forum, or a talk...entahlah! the panel were sofea's parents and siblings. (sofea-the brilliant girl who went to Oxford rasanya). At that time, Sofea had already ran away from her college. The way the mother responded to the questions asked, I could sense that she's quite arrogant, (suka hati aku je judge orang lain hehehe) as if she was trying to stress that it wasn't her fault that Sofea ran away, she even bragged about another child who was 6-7 years old at that time and who was about to take her A-Level exam. Telling us her IQ and so on. She said that she has never forced any of her children to do things that they hate. But the way she described her life led me to doubts. All her children played tennis for "recreation", they had to do tonnes of mathematical questions everyday etc.etc. Is that what she called a life? Hmmm...maybe my brain is too thick to understand that kids would ENJOY maths and tennis betterr than those little bluish bouncy mushroom-men in smurf, or the "care bears" who help to heal the world. And why am I writing this down?Dunno...perhaps to remind me that perfection could not be defined or described or even achieved because it is the attribute of God.

I'm coaching a team (girls U-16) for the TTA tournament, end of March. In the team there are Ms.Skinny Potter, and Ms.Nosy-attention-seeker and 3 other girls. Last Tuesday these two girls had a fight. One thing I didn't understand, this was the first meeting between Ms.Skinny and Ms.Nosy, but as soon as their "eyes met", they turned into two pit bulls in the arena. I asked them nicely, what's their problem, both said nothing. But for the next 1 1/2 hours they're trying to strangle each other's neck, and worse they irritated me. Ms.Nosy walked up to Ms. Skinny's brother and mengadu to him about her sister. First, I really hate nosy kids, second- I hate kids who demand unnecessary attention, lastly I hate kids who don't know how to respect the seniors (ask them what's the problem, tak nak cakap, tapi nak mangadu to my senior plak!) I corrected few of Ms.Nosy's handwork, she told me, "I understand but I'm not in the mood tonite!" (half yelling OK-I can yell louder if you want me to do some demo!) I admit that I'm a moody and quick tempered person, but I don't show it to people other than my family la (can't hide it from them kan, bcos we're living under the same roof, the same face everyday!). I told her that understanding and doing are two different things. She replied "I'm not in the mood". Ok, that's enough! I started yelling (half yelling la, I'm not that cruel to people ok!) across the gym - when I'm angry I tend to speak either in perfect English or in perfect Manglish "You think wat?You the only one moody is it?You think I so much in the good mood ke?" then I stopped because I had just realised that I was directing my personal anger towards Ms.Nosy and that anger had been there in my chest for so long (you could eeeasily get annoyed with Ms.Nosy, not only because she talks a lot, but she likes to twist and manipulate other people's words-I had a quarrel with a friend because of her). I'm going to see the team tonight, I hope there's an improvement...and I hope Ms.Nosy decided to keep her mouth shut after the counter-yelling incident. And I hope Ms.Skinny won't be carried away by her anger due to the fight she had earlier with the brother like last class. And I hope I won't be carried away by my temper too!

-read in the YQ that being a vegetarian could reduce anger...I've seen a vegetarian gal ran amok in school before-
