Sunday, July 1, 2007

Fight Science?
Saturday, June 16, 2007
just finished watching the entire series of 'fight science' on youtube; which i believe many have ald seen, and i must say, its impressive..though, i got stuff to say abt it..

first of all, why are all the top martial arts exponents on the show 80% caucasian? even when many of the martial arts discussed there are east asian ones, stuff like karate, taekwondo, ninjitsu, are all being demonstrated by caucasian masters..whatever happened to masters of these martial arts who are indigenious folks from the asian countries? even the wushu guy is an american born chinese..although i admit he's pretty good, but i do believe there are true masters of wushu, indigenious chinese i mean, who would have been better able to showcase the style.

and secondly, that very first segment of the show, the one abt the strongest punch? tt was damn stupid can? why do they have the boxing guy compared to all others, and proving through the machine thingy tt his style has the strongest blow? and tt statement made by the narrator? "the boxer's punch is almost 2 times tt of the kung fu one-inch punch" or sth like tt, was even way stupider. just look at the boxer..he's also two times the size of the kungfu guy..and some one-inch punch..what he demonstrated was so weak, bruce lee would be crying in his grave if he knew.. haiz..

and last but nt least, the aussie taekwondo guy just really pisses me off. he's like damn irritating with his shirt off and all those "hoo", "haa" "waa", etc..exclamations whenever he's doing anything tt he just comes across as damn poseur, although im nt abt to question his expertise at the style, seems like he's some champion somewhere after all, so i'll leave it at tt..

but what's with him also demonstrating the japanese bo and the katana? its totally contradicting can?

kendo(the art of the japanese katana) and the bo are very obviously, part of jap martial arts disciplines, whereas the style he is representing from the beginning of the show, taekwondo, stems from korea..two different countries, two totally different styles of martial arts..3 forms in fact, the bo, kendo, and taekwondo, all being showcased by one guy?

now tt is really absurb, as i seriously don't believe anyone, even indigenious masters of the arts, are able to study and master so many forms of martial arts in one lifetime..why, many kendo masters take a lifetime of study and practice to achieve their expertise with the katana..and now along comes a young punk who's proficient in all 3? what a fucking joke.. i myself am a great fan of the katana, which is why i feel tt showcasing it all together by one guy who's also doing two other forms of martial arts is a great injustice..

now, don't take me wrong though, im nt criticising the credibility of the show; and i am also nt any great martial art exponent myself, i just feel tt they could have done it another way, a better way..and anyway, what's written here is really just my two cents abt it..so if anyone out there is nt happy, pls feel free..im nt asking anyone to subscribe to my views, though if u do agree with me, pls feel free to let me know also.

and finally, if they plan to produce a sequel to the series, someone pls tell the narrator to get his pronounciation of east asian terms like karate, taekwondo, NOT tai-kwan-do, dao, NOT dou etc..right..its terrible..

Wtf? I have to quit drinking?
Friday, June 1, 2007
i've been coughing for over a month now, and although its nt the longest stretch by far, i am still irritated. tried almost everything from polytechnic prescriptions to off-the-shelf medications, tcm herbal powder, tea and even attempted to lay off the cancer sticks for a few days.. but still to no avail.

and so, after all tt, i was really pretty damn annoyed, tt i visited the company doctor, raffles medical, after work today..thinking tt since its free, might as well give it a shot, even though i heard from a few others tt the medicine they prescribe nv get u cured. but still, i wanted to give it a shot, and just now, after talking to the doctor, i got the most shocking diagnosis of all..

guess what? i was told tt my persistent cough is the result of acid reflux from my gut and this is also somehow caused by alcohol, even though i dont really drink tt much..just once a month, twice at most. and the cure?

i have to fucking lay off the booze, nt for one week, one month, but my entire lifetime! means zip, zero booze for me, ever! "nt a single drop" in the words of the doctor. wtf?!

even though im nt an alcoholic, or even a hardcore drinker by the mildest standards, i still love my booze, esp the hard liquor..once a month usually, with my army buddies mostly..but now along comes a doctor telling me tt i have to quit the booze for my entire life?! and im only freaking 22 this year!

shit..i am really finding it hard to swallow such info..

Driving, Work, Bball
Saturday, May 19, 2007
I finally started my practical driving lessons this week, after so many obstacles, since i started taking my theory tests end of last year. and it was quite challenging, to say the least, but still a lot of fun, hah.

during my first lesson on wednesday, i kept stalling the car, cos i couldn't grasp the biting pt probably and released the clutch too fast.. and my steering sucked, like i was zigzagging on the course the whole time, esp when negotiating turns. but today was better, at least i had a better feel of the clutch, steering and could judge correctly when to execute my turns, but nonetheless, i still suck. then again, i guess its to be expected, since its only my first 2 lessons.

and after nuaing for 2 weeks, i started working this week at my former part time company, geberit, as operations executive; my job scope being inventory management and servicing. i also had tons to learn, mainly abt company operations and product knowledge. and although this week being my orientation week, was quite slack, next week on will be busier i guess, as my stores are starting to come in and i have to start arranging and managing the inventory after the rackings are erected. so well, yeah, im officially part of the ratrace liao, haha.

work and driving aside, today being saturday, i went down to cheng san cc in amk to play bball again, as i've been doing for the last couple of weeks, after finding some worthy opponents there. to my unpleasant surprise, the cc was holding some crap dinner function at the event hall next to the court and we were chased off by the cc staff shortly after arriving, saying tt we were disturbing their event. wtf.

made our way to another court somewhere ard amk, found nt a single soul playing, was on our way to another, met someone who told us tt court was empty too, so after some deliberating, we decided to take a cab to sengkang cc to play, since the court there was sheltered; and it did look like rain soon, and also because there were always gd players there.

so 5 of us squeezed into one cab, and the taxi ah lao was damn cool can, he played techno! somemore is his own cd, nt radio de.. we were quite pleasantly surprised, and he told us he got the same reaction from alot of other passengers our age too..haha.. when we finally got to sengkang cc, the court was occupied by some taekwondo class; although they were only using one side, leaving the other free for play, we were prevented from playing when one of them came and told us tt they had booked the entire court and tt their students would feel distracted by us playing ball there. he even gave us a smug snigger, like hehe! wtf..

shit, i was starting to think today must be 'world anti-basketball day', when we finally got to one court after walking for 10 min, and found some poly, ite kids playing there. finally! since we were sick of wandering ard anymore, we just settled down and played with them..damn shag now..must be the age and lack of exercise..haiz..

and so, time flies, seems like it was only ytd when i enlisted in bmt and went thru all tt shit..hai..gd times, bad times, time really pass quite fast...because i actually planned to write all these 'reflections' on ns life like 10 days to a week before i ord..then today just plan to write one big big ORD LOH!! as entry. but guess i nua too long liao..too lazy to even come and blog..so tu until today the actual date..hah..
