Was in charge of tkd class last nite. When I arrived, I put my bag on the stairs to take out the money to pay my fees. Ms.5th Dan BlackBelt called my name and I entered her office. Her left leg was cemented/plastered (?), dunnolah the correct term. Was damn shocked but I thought it was kinda funny too.

Lieawulf: Sir, what happened to you *grin*
Ms.5thDan: I broke my ankle lor, two bones some more
Lieawulf: Aiyak sir, how did it happen
Ms.5thDan: What else can you think if I break my leg ah
Lieawulf: Skating? (Ms.5th Dan BlackBelt is the former Skate Asia champ)
Ms.5thDan: Ya lor, I didn't do anything ekchely. Got big hole on the floor, standing there only, telling the aunties not to skate around there. I turned to go back
to the other side and my leg got stuck lah.
Lieawulf: Fated so lah sir, do nothing also kena...
Ms.5thDan: Ya lor, what to do
Lieawulf: Then how lah?
Ms.5thDan: 2 months lor like this...you and Kishok take over the class la, have to lah, nobody else...

Mr.6th Dan BlackBelt literally carried Ms.5th Dan BlackBelt to the UM hospital and carried her upstairs to her room at the centre. Thank you Mr.6th Dan, even though we have some issues, I think you're quite a "responsible" and caring person *grin*

During training, I asked the kids to find a partner, one person holds the kicking target - the target that has the shape of the letter P and the other person do 50 times turning kick. Was monitoring Arjun and Kodie, and one kicking target flew straight to my face injuring my upper lips very badly. Kodie didn't hold it properly, and Arjun was over excited that he actually managed to launch a powerful kick, thus the target flew high hitting my lips...adoiii!! My eyes became watery and the pain, aiyak, sakit woo!! 3-4 years ago I would have punished them for being playful in the class, but now it wouldn't be fair to them and it would only downgrade my "maturity". Apa korang ingat BlackBelt kebal ker, kena baling dengan target tak sakit?? I'm just another normal human being, once in a while I get sick and get injured...and one day I'll die...what do you expect? Of course lah, if I paid full attention to them I would be prepared for the flying target but it's hard to focus on one couple when you have another 10 couples who were training like half dead - separuh mati, lemah, not giving even 50% attention to what they're doing. I thought I should put myself on th lookout, takut2 ada yang cedera...in the end I came back home with swollen lips hahahaha. In 7 years of my involvement in tkd and other martial arts, I've never been hit at the lips, and in the past tournaments, I have never bled (?). But last nite, my lips were bleeding and swollen. I had to buy an ice cream from the shop downstairs to "tuam" my lips..."I didn't do anything. Fated so lah ni!!"

Revelation of the Day:

-blackbelts aren't kebal - what's the english word for that, anyone?
-it's painful when a target hit your lips, imagine lah if it's a fist!!
-When you discover a hole in the icy floor, don't tell anyone, get outta there first then announce it over the P.A. system, by then 10 other people might break their legs, and yours is saved hahahhaha.
-Mat Kool's Blue ice cream taste like some sorta medication!! But I find it kinda interesting.
-Fate is fated so lah, cannot go against it ^_^
