Kejohanan PG Global - Seberang Perai

Just got back from Penang with my wife last night for one day tournament at Politeknik Seberang Perai. My team sent "nearly" 2 buses of students consisting Under 12, Under 17 and young adult colored belt participants. Four of my adult students from Kemaman Do-Jang were just new and even white belt holders - I salute them for their willingness to gain experience and to try fighting amid less techniques but their bravery and "semangat bertempur" is what I adore and the first thing first when you want to enter a competition. Apart from this they need to be well prepared in person for endurance and tactics - ingredients of a champion. These guys are still new in martial arts but I'm happy to hear all of them saying "I want to train more and I want to get ready for next tournament.".

I'd like to express my gratitude to the host-instructors from PG Global Taekwon-Do Academy:- Ustaz Mansor (5th Dan), Mr. Nanda (6th Dan) and Mr. Bala (6th Dan) for their warm welcoming and hospitality to my team and myself. I appreciate Master Siva (7th Dan) for spending some time with me on the stage. Thank to my wife for supporting me, I know she's tired but she seems strong and calm. Also to my young Kuro-Obi Yaser (1st Dan) for becoming my driver.

I congratulate my fellow Kuro-Obi instructors - Mr.Rahman (2nd Dan) and Aizuddin (1st Dan) for their commitment in training towards preparing this team. I believe Rahman will write more on this in his blog. For every event there will be pleasant and unpleasant scenes, maybe Rahman would share this with us. The moment I'm writing this, he is still in the bus full of warriors heading back to Terengganu.

Terengganu bagged: 6 Golds - 6 Silvers - 14 Bronzes.

Hail Arshavin !

LIVERPOOL 4 - ARSENAL 4
.....Mu Memang Bijok!......

Arshavin’s remarkable four goals at Anfield also allowed the Russian to claim a first in the Premier League - he is the first player to score four goals and fail to finish on the winning side. It was the 19th time a player has scored four goals in a Premier League game and the first for a year, since Frank Lampard’s four for Chelsea against Derby 13 months ago.

He is the second Arsenal player to score four goals in a Premier League game, following Thierry Henry’s achievement in a 5-0 win over Leeds in 2004.

Arshavin is only the sixth player to score four PL goals away.

Tunjuk Jalan...

16th April 2009...

I received an sms early in the morning from Mang notifying me that his mom passed away. I couldnt rush for funeral on the day but did attend to his family's house at Ketengah Jaya. As I am not familiar with the location and journey at night alone is not recommended, I sought my student Amir to accompany me, luckily he had time. It took us nearly 2 hours to reach the house as we lost the route. Mang kept calling me to confirm whether we were on correct track, because it was toooooooo dark...no wonder even he himself not keen to have journey there at night alone. Somehow, with good GPS instruction by Mang.... Amir and I reached and sempat ratib. During my mother's departure, he did attend ratib congregation at my house. His mother's departure refreshed my memory to what I have gone through.

Should students received this news, it is their moral responsibility to at least message a sympathy and pray for blessing to the Arwah. I hope Rahman receives such feedback.

A Deep Condolence To Rahman's Family.الفاتحة
