Back to 6 years ago, when i was still in secondary Form 3, i took part in the Taekwando Black Belt grading together with some of my friends. Yes i was very excited at that time, you know, i was only just 15 and at any time i could be injured when hitting on the one-inch plank wood during the grading! Okay, story was back to primary school when i was only in 3rd grade. There was once when i went to school with my mother on Saturday, which was the co-curricular day and yup, that's the moment i saw students learning punching and kicking a.k.a. self-defend at the school 'Astaka'. Kids always need to get permission from their parents before going on something, some more Taekwando is a 13pg thingy for kids, thus, my mother accompanied me to register my name to the master and that's how i began my white-belt. ;p It was truly AWESOME when you wear on the Taekwando suits, feels like you're ready to kick somebody's ASS! =)

By 13, i was already in red-belt which meant i was only one step away from black-belt. But then, age was the restriction in taking part in the black-belt grading. 15 was the age. So, my friends and i who're at the same stage went for the training just for the sake of training and attendance without the intention of taking part in grading. =) However, it was still beneficial to us as we were needed to learn the Taekwando Poomsae of all grades all over again for the grading sake. Well, 2 years could be long, though. And 2 years after 13, i was actually one of the Black Belt 1st Dan player. ;p

We'd be entitled to an official Black Belt certificate if we passed the grading. But during that moment, due to some internal Taekwando political issues between Malaysia and Korea, it was sad to say that i did not get the official certificate recognised by both of the countries, i was only entitled to a piece of paper stating that i'd passed the grading. @@ 5 years i've been waiting since the grading and i thought i'll never get the official certificate ever since i'd left my school for 3 years... However, surprisingly my grading partner told me that he'd collected the cert from my master last year and whether had i been informed for that. Duh! No! I didn't!
Anyhow, that doesn't bother, all thanks to Justin who helped me to collect it from master and now, I HAVE IT! >.<

This was the so-called 'normal cert'.

This is what i'm trying to mention the official certification for getting through the black-belt grading. =)
Year of grading : 2005
Year of receiving : 2011

As we know, Mc Donald is having a breakfast promotion valid til 31st March 2011, which you'll be entitled for 2 big breakfast for free if you buy anything above RM5 with the coupon. Mc Donald's coupon I printed out the coupon last week and wanted to try it on the next day. But my lazyness stopped me. =( And so i decided to try it in my hometown here. I heard the queue there was superb long, but i could still never believe it untill i tried it myself. I went there this morning, reached the only Mc Donald in Taiping at 9.15am and the long queue was a FACT! Damn... the pathetic small Mc Donald was filled up with customers, and surprisingly  more than half of the customers were the aunty uncle. =.= Looking at them coming out from the door with 2 packs, 3 packs and even 4 packs of the big breakfast. I was thinking, 'Damn, do they really buy it for their breakfast lunch and dinner?' Or maybe they got it for their kids since the set was super expensive on non-promotion day. But it was still CRAZY man, standing at the queue for an hour before it was my turn to order. =.= ONE HOUR! Well, it would be my last time trying to get this promo set, unless i saw the queue is less than 3 people. @.@ Anyway, it's still worth for the queue as you'd get 2 sets of the breakfast which cost almost RM18 on normal days for FREE during this promotion as long as you spend RM5 and above per coupon. =)

I was the N'th customer in the queue....

Best wishes always.

Cheers!

Looking back, it has been weeks i was MIA in blogging. Yea, found no reason to deny that i was truly moody and emo for the results i had gotten a month ago and yea, it was still a fact to accept and glad that i'm finally had gotten over it! Well, honestly i was growing mushroom on my body over the last few weeks and that's it! Even maggots are on me now for doing nothing. Friends and family were giving me advise to take this golden opportunity to rest and play, but the problem is, i just feel like occupying myself with something. So, hopefully.....
Oh well, just to share something here. Due to boredom, i found another part time job about 2 weeks ago, as a Magnolia ice-cream promoter and Giant. HA! Until now, i still couldn't believe that i would become a part time promoter, 2 days only, though. It was fun, to have a view of Giant's BIG warehouse, being in the negative temperature of the cold storage while looking for the ice-cream and especially looking at the children being shy for asking ice-cream tester from me. Looking at the children with the cute smiling face just made my day, besides ownself testing the ice-cream for free for how many times you want to!! =)

In the same week after the weekend job, my best friend, i mean ONE of my best friends [LOL] came to KL for a visit. The plan was actually heading to M.O.S [Ministry Of Sound] a.k.a Euphoria night club to have some funs and i was invited by him to join a bunch of his friends whom study the same course with him in NYP Singapore. Sad thing to say that ladies night for Euphoria was on Thursday BUT we went there on Wednesday night. So you can imagine how empty the club was. =.= Nonetheless, we still enjoyed ourselves, perhaps with some ladies beside our table? hmmm... 1 bottle of Chivas, 1 bottle of Tequila and 1 bottle of Absolute Vodka [Original] and some beer not to forget it, more than 10 glasses per night for me. It was good to say that i was not drunk that night, but bad to say that the hangover on the next day was terrible! @.@ SO terrible...
There was actually another plan of heading to Melaka club the next night, but unfortunately it was cancelled. Owhhh.....

My friend's visit led me to the obsession of 'How i met your mother'. It was so lame but awesome! to watch this series when you're boring. And yea, i'm a fast catcher and that's the reason why i watched few episodes in a day, despite all other series like the Vampire Diaries?... C.S.I?... Gossip Girl X.O.X.O?... Hmmm... I'm still on the train of 'How i met your mother'. Maybe next time when i reach 50s, i would also tell my children how i met their mother, though it'll take yeaaaaaars to tell them the stories. XD

Thumbs up!

By the way, have you guys heard about the 'Out of Africa Restaurant & Kudu Bar' in Petaling Jaya? Damn! one Ox-tail cost more than RM40 and we could hardly find meat on the tail. @@ Luckily some of us only ordered desserts, but an ice-cream of Nestle flavour cost me RM20 neither which i could get 2 BIG box of it from the hypermarket and leave the cashier some changes. =.=!! So, I think its better to spend so much money at the Murni 'Discovery' to have some 'mee raja' or 'roti cheese' with only one regret - "It leaves you no empty space for your stomach..."

But, it's worth to at least, try it. =)

Despite the cancellation of Melaka trip on Thursday night, we made it ourselves a one day trip in the following Friday when my friend made a 2nd trip to KL before he went back to S'pore. 3 of us went there just to have some nice food. Hmmm... you know, when you go to Melaka, you just can't miss out some of the food like - Cendol, Chicken Riceball, Nyoya Laksa, Baba Chicken Rendang... and did i mention Satay Celup? Nah, we miss it cos we were too full after the first few dishes. @!#$@%!^*&% The trip was filled with full of excitement for visiting the Crocodile Farm, Jonker Street, and the motive of meeting a girl in Melaka. Well, I'm not gonna mention the girl here. About the crocodile farm, i think it was a good timing for us as we had the opportunity to see a real crocodile laying their eggs LIVE! Perhaps, already laid... =.= Just that the mother crocodile was digging sand to lay more eggs, maybe? 

Saw the egg? YES, we're that close to the crocs!!

Oh well, some pictures could be could be found in the link here Melaka Trip 2011 .

Another picture to share here. It was captured while we're on the way back from IKEA. It was a picture of a real air plane [Airasia] having few feet of its head out from a new building just beside IKEA. I was wondering, could it be a 'Air plane Restaurant'? You know we have 'Clinic Cafe', 'Piano Cafe', 'Ice Bar', 'T-Bowl a.k.a Toilet-Bowl' or maybe this is just another Airasia trademark? But too bad lar, i sent this photo to TheStar hoping to win RM50 and i didn't get it. ='(

Cheers for now.
