Last thursday, I learned a valuable lesson, how to change the car tyre. Theoretically I've learned how to do it during the 6-8hr-seminar (pemanduan berhemah or something like that), but had never done it on my own. I didn't know how it get punctured, after the tkd class ended, I went to get my car, when I drove out of the parking lot, it felt awkward. Fortunately I was with my bro, I called Baba, and we changed the tyre together hehe, first hand experience maa!!
I was in the car this afternoon, driving to my univ, the "tayar bocor" incident flashed in my mind. It reminded me of Mr.Tee, my english teacher in my former school. One fine afternoon, he played football with some other teachers (on hari kualiti if I'm not mistaken) and he fell down into a monsoon drain, had a cut on his forehead. On Monday he sent in his resignation letter. He told us that chinese believe when something really, really bad happened, they have to change certain things in their life. Because this incident happened in school, he thought it'd be better if he start teaching at a new school. Well, he confessed to us that he'd been giving some serious thoughts on this thing even before he fell down. Currently he's teaching English in SM Ungku Aziz. Haha, now you're wondering whether I should train tkd somewhere else plak ek? Neah, I don't think so. Lagipun, apalah sangat dengan tayar yang pancit tuh - don't believe in bad luck - we to a certain extent determine our own luck, the rest we should leave it to God as He knows the best for us. I will only train at another centre, if I'm no longer staying in PJ, or I've already established my own tkd centre.
I just came back from tkd practice, I didn't really practice though. Had a very, very long talk with Ms.5th Dan...about the national tourney in melaka, about the centralized training for black belt test (yup, I'm going for my 2nd Dan end of this year, insha Allah) and our own tourney which will be held (hopefully) somewhere in November/December at OU2. Last year we were told that we're not allowed to participate in this year national tournament, because the host, Melaka does not acknowledge us - senang cerita, tak kamceng lah. Dunno how, they sent a letter telling us about the postponement of the event, and they're expecting us to participate in it. The men's team, no problem, but the ladies, I don't think we have a complete team. We would participate in the individual events and perhaps in team sparring. Team pattern - it's a lil bit too late to form a group and train now as the tourney is scheduled somewhere in October, perhaps 1st to 3rd. However, we will try to train another 2 girls, who have never been to national tourney, and hope that we won't screw up on that day. (again, we don't expect to win, just to give some experience to the junior black belters).
Ok, I need to sleep now...I have class at 10-3.30pm tmr, and I have usrah after that...boring, boring. Funny how they call this group binding event as usrah (family, keluarga, gar), don't even feel like one...the essence, the spirit is lost - ok, better not to say more on this, somebody might say I'm too critical!! Good night!
p/s: I read about the blogathon, anybody wants to sponsor me for this 24-hour blogging marathon - the charity foundation of my choice would be, erm, dunnolah - maybe SPCA hehehe, can meh? Perhaps MAKNA? Any suggestions, any sponsors? I'm up to this challenge, but are you willing to help me with the sponsorship ^__^ ? Click here to check out the blogathon thingy.
