Salutations sods
it is I, the paragon of coolness and everything that goes with it. I have travelled leagues of.. ok sorry. I wus kinda delirious..still battling the effects of flu..
Anyhoo, went for my karate class as per norm yesternite. I am officially an oranje belt now. Jyeah! I know it aint much to you sods but hey, its an achievement fer me. Das the good part o the class.. the not so good part wus when i had to spar with 2 Gurkhas(not jus me o course..others too). For those of u not in the know, lemme tell u this: Gurkhas are friggin beasts! Seriously, my right shin is about to collapse after receiving some sweet loving kicks from em. Case in point: Train harder.
I got meself a 1 Tera byte portable hard disk! wooot! 1 TERA BYTE!!! Eat that! now i can store all my por...er my important files which are quite hefty..eh... oh yeah and it didnt cost me a lot. Tis only $200. Which i think is a steal. More power to me! And you can have the power too, just by investing ur hard earned $200 in the Maxtor 1 Tera Byte portable hard disk!
On a more personal note... well nothing to say cuz the yang to my yin hasnt said anything to me. On hiatus perhaps?

At long last
Sbeen awhile since i last updated. Busy with a lot of stuff lately. Preparing for some big e-learning event for the school. Going for mixed martial arts training (I'll get right into this soon). Been drawing more for my mate's project and also errr... jogging. Yeah.
Anyways, as i wus saying in the paragraph above. Mixed Martial Arts (aka MMA). Yeah, for those who have been reading ever since the inception, I'm in an art form called Kyokushin Kaikan Karate. Kyokushin fer u short-term memory sods. Anyways back to MMA, i recently hooked up with a pal of mine, Haris who does Hapkido & Aikido. Git's a black belt in Hapkido. So pretty much experienced ar. The other person i wus introed to is Ashraf. He does Capoeira on top of Kyokushin. Making me the New Blood amongst them. So we gots us a good mix o grapplin n strikin styles. Venue wus at a multi-storey carpark, Clementi.
The session began with the norm warm-ups, pad works and some lite conditioning. Then comes the sparring... wooooooo...
Fight #1: Me & Ashraf. Pretty straight forward strikers both o us. He has more grace and fluidity due to his capoeira background. Exchanged few strikes... after about 4 mins or so. Thus ended the spar. No clear sign who came out better. But tis a good start.
Fight #2: Ashraf & Haris. Heh, this Haris is a silent non-asuming fighter. Very relaxed and confident. Ashraf wus gettin in his capoeira groove; gettin a few kicks. Next thing you know, Haris grabbed a hold o his legs and did a twist and lock. Ashraf on his belly, was at the mercy of Haris... the fight ended and more or less I think i'd give the victory to Haris.
Fight #3: Haris & me. My turn. Got a few strikes on him. Tried to play his game and grapple. Heh bad mistake. He got da full mount on me, and tried to choke me. I resisted fer awhile before running outta stamina... heh. Haris IS skillful, without a doubt.
Interlude. Drank some water. Chitchat fer a bit. Back to the battle...
Fight #4: Haris & Ashraf. Heh..well wat dyu know. Lightning strikes twice. Haris managed ta catch his leg again and this time applied a tad bit too much of pressure. Ashraf was in a bit o pain. Thus ended with the match in Haris's favor.
Fight #5: Haris & me. I learnt me mistakes from da previous fight. Screw grappling, im gonna keep it straight up. Traded a few punches and kicks. Landed one near his liver. Haris called fer a time out. Hey hey! One fer the New Blood!
Fight #6: Me & Ashraf. Heh, fer this duel, Ashraf applied karate stance in lieu of his capoeira. Both of us got some good hits in. I went close and tried giving knees. Not sure whether it had any effect tho. Kept on striking him with punches and jabs and outta the blue, seeing an opening i sent a quick kick to his midriff. He doubled over. Damn, on the way ta hit his side, grazed the groin. Seriously didnt intend for it to be that way. As it is, Ashraf called time out.
Yeah. Sweet. I got scraps, bruises and blisters. Worth it. Talked for awhile, thinking about gettin a few more sods ta join and all dat. Great lesson and here's to more!

Like I promised
here are some of the logos i did. Nothing amazing or breath-taking i know. But i think for a newbie using Macromedia Flash (now its known as Adobe Flash i think?), tis quite competent. So yeah, eat it!
(based on a Greek vase painting)
(inspired by Warhammer 40k)
And on top o dat, i joined a martial arts club. Namely, Kyokushin Kaikan Karate. No joke about it, endurance shall be tested to the limit. On top o that, even beginners have to spar. My kinda stuff! Ass kicking and taking names! I'll fill u sods more info about that style in the near future.
More tomdickery coming soon. In the meanwhile enjoy the weekend! Osu!

Honk Honk!
I'll get right back to the title in a short while. Meantime, more shenanigans for you fellow seekers-of-Might to swallow.
First up, I've been hittin Macromedia Flash often nowadays. Creating logos and designs. Flexing me creative mind. Will give ya sods a taste or two pretty soon.
Next, helped to celebrate me blood bro's bday on the Sunday. Poor sod has ta go thru some obstacle tests to get to the Promised Land. Heh. Happy 24th terran years bro. And more to come ey. Towards the end of Sunday, when the witching hour fast approaches, apparently the WARP got hold of me. Needless to say, people around me were sumwat taken aback. I do apologise to the patrons of Starbucks and also the staff of said joint.
And on Monday. Well, no work on Monday. Cuz tis Youth Day! hahahaks. Changed my uniforms to new sets; preparing meself for the inevitable Call-To-Duty. For the Emperor Lee! Long may his progenies rule Singapore!
And with that concludes the awesomeness of me weekend!
Huh? What was that you said? The title? What about the title?
oh yeah... HONK HONK! Enjoy the week!

Presenting...
Jyeah!!! One of the pioneers of Swedish Death has decided to grace my native soil... I won't bore you with the history & backgrounds of Dismember. Check it up in wikipedia or google you lazy gits... Safe to say, on 13th July 2008, it'll be a total Bomblast!!!
On other fronts; pretty much busy week at school for me. Taking photos of performances and conducting lessons as per norm. Watched in despair as kids are brainwashed into loyal lil buggers for Le..i mean Singapore.
Talked to me blood brotha Raz... how everything aint simple as it seems. Heart ta heart talk... Thanks bro, keep up the Spirit of '91 aye!
Welcoming the weekend!
