This is like the 2nd time i went to PD this sem, the previous time i went there was just like 2 weeks ago. This time i was there for the NSGKA (Negeri Sembilan Goshin-Ryu Karate Association) camp. Stayed there for 3 days 2 nites at Casa Rachado resort. Overall the place was ok, they do have quite a lot of facilities. Basically here's wat i did there :
DAY - 1
2.00PM Arriving to Casa Rachado Resort, PD.
2.00 PM – 2.30 PM Briefing & Check-in
2.30 PM – 3.00 PM Light Refreshment (provide by resort)
-sum crappy cocktail drink, not much taste oso...
3.15 PM – 4.00 PM Ice Breaking Session (In door)
-this is when we were divided into groups of 6. Our group name is Formula 1 , cuz we are group 1 initially.
4.00 PM – 6.30 PM Jungle tracking (Outdoor)
- this trip took like one hour.. not really fun cuz it's kinda big group, some ppl had to slow down and there stop every once in a while. In other words , it was like slow paced, so not really my type of activity and it wasn't challenging at all. Kinda dull....
After the jungle trekking , we had tele-match. It wasn't that fun, partly cuz the fact that our team wasnt that competetive. Out of a few challenges, we oni managed to finish best 2nd spot.
6.30 PM – 8.00 PM Rest, relax and dinner (Cafeteria)
8.00 PM – 10.00 PM Seminar (Resort conference room)
This seminar is conducted by my master, Shihan Jimmy. It's basically bout the art of Karate. Once again Shihan mentioned and showed bout the difference in survival , street fight, self-defence and sports part of Karate. If you think Karate is all bout kick and punch , u are so damn wrong. Karate to me is another learning process. It is generally different from what we learn in skool or classes, it's more to the art of expressing the human mind , body and soul. There's alwiz something new to learn in training, there's alwiz room to improvement. I guess that's wat motivates me to keep on doing wat i like and i will alwiz give my 110% during the training. *wink wink*
10.00 PM Rest
After the seminar end we had group discussion on the drama which we are supposed to do for the following day.
10.00 PM Onwards NSGKA ANNUAL MEETING (Meeting Hall)
End of Day 1
DAY – 2
6.30 AM – 7.30 AM Morning Excitement
- ntg much of a excitement, it was sort of drizzling at the time we woke up. But after a while the rain stopped and we did some light warm ups and off we go jogging. First we went for like 1km before we stopped. There was one part which was kinda steep, uphill. Two seniors was leading the group and after joggin for a short while, u can see ppl dropping of, lesser ppl at the front pack. I was of cuz one of the leading pack. After a while we the two seniors in front stopped, there was oni like 6 ppl while the others catching up. After resting for like 10mins, off we go again, heading back to the resort, this time the two seniors which was sweeping at the back of the group is now heading the group and off we go back. From there i noticed that the whole bunch of grp is really lacking stamina. I was the only 1 who managed to catch up wif the two seniors in front, and in the end both the seniors was also tired and the end up walking. So only 3 of us walking bak while the rest are still kinda far behind. Not to say that my stamina is like damn good or wat, but seriously i think my level is just average. In mmu i think there's a lot of really fit joggers. I just felt that we're kinda lacking the physical training, probably our training is not tough enough.
7.30 AM – 8.30 AM Breakfast (Cafeteria)
The breakfast was ok, there was tea/coffeee , bihun, eggs, toast....
8.30 AM – 11.00 PM Obstacle Training (Outdoor)
Yes, the resort has a obstacle course. First you had to go through a low monkey bar, den there's this thing which u had to step through, ntg challenging, den we supposed to crawl through a round tunnel. Then there's another monkey bar, which is higher. My team got deducted marks cuz those guys, they assisted every1 during the monkey bar. Ppl like me did not get to do it myself cuz this bugger was holding my leg from below, told him to let go but he said so that no need to waste energy. As if it'll waste much of my energy..lolz... After that , we had to cliimb through a wall which is bout 6 feet high. Again not much of challenge. Then there's like tyres arranged in pairs, similar to those army training.THen there's this tarzan swing which most ppl dun haf any prob with. Followed by the commando stlye which you haf to crawl underneath through, there's spikes if you dun lower ur body low enough. During tHis challenges, i kena the spike cuz when i crawl past the thing i thought i was free from the spike adi, so i was tryin to stand up, but my back which is around my ass got poke by the spike and i drag is sum more, so there's this wound, and a souvenir at my t-shirt...can see a hole...damn crap. The place was kinda muddy sum more as it rained earlier. Lastly there's this huge tyre which ur suppose to go through it w/o touching it. Your members are supposed to pass you through the tyre and another members received from the other side. Our from was fast overall, but was deducted sum points.
11.00 PM – 12.00 PM Lunch (Cafeteria)
12.15 PM – 2.30 PM Water Challenge (Outdoor)
Not really a water challenge, but it's actually a crash course and getting use to the life jacket. We had a tutorial at the resort pool and we get to feel the life jacket. Those safety precaution before we head to the the beach there...
2.30 PM – 3.15 PM Tea Break (Cafeteria)
3.15 PM – 6.30 PM Water Rafting (Outdoor)
This challenges i think was the best among all the games. Each team were given 5 big tyre tubes, 3 long wood and another 3 short wood. We're supposed to design a raft and pedal ourself to a point in the sea and come back, with 3 teams at one go. It was actually quite fun, but unfortunately our team lost again, our design was so cacat, they put the frame below the tyre, which is weird. Usually the frame will alwiz be on top. I guess our leader should take the blame for that. Our raft seem to have problem moving, very slow, so some of us actually juz down the raft and tried to push the raft from behind. Initially i was rowing, but when we reached the point where we're supposed to turn back, i jump down and tried to give a kick. The water was damn 'ham' but wat u expect, it's sea-water. I do have to admit, i really have phobia, who knows like suddenly some shark come up and eat my legs, it din ran through my head. Maybe cuz watch too much jaws movies last time. But recently i did read bout a gurl who lost her arm cuz of that. So it was kinda fresh in my memory.
6.30 PM – 7.00 PM Free and Easy
7.00 PM – 8.00 PM Dinner (Cafeteria)
8.00 PM - 10.00 PM Prime time entertainment (Meeting Hall)
THis is the part when we're supposed to show our acting skills. I was unwillingly chosen as the hero, damn.. dunno why ppl like to push such big characters to me, cuz i dun seem to like acting at all. But at least this time i get to do wat i like..eheh like i mentioned previously, lolz..i was given a sort of like Bruce Lee role, so it was kinda kewl. Unfortunately the moves didnt turn up that good cuz i think my members was moving too fast. It was bit messy but overall ok. Our team got 3rd spot for this drama. ~Peace~
After the results we announced, the total points were tallied, and our team was tied on 3rd spot. Unfortunately my master declared another team as the winner of 3rd place cuz he said our team did a mistake during the water rafting. So we got back empty handed....
10.00 PM Rest
End of Day 2
DAY – 3
6.30 AM – 8.00 PM Light Training
We were supposed to haf light training, but den our master decided to let us enjoy and it was basically free and easy after breakfast.
8.00 AM – 9.00 AM Breakfast (Cafeteria)
Played 3 on 3 soccer with some of my buddies, it was quite enjoyable. To me soccer is alwiz enjoyable no matter, when or where and with who it's played.
12.00 PM Free and Easy and Check out
12.00 PM – 1.00 PM Lunch (Cafeteria)
1.00 PM – 1.30 PM Wrap up Briefing (Conference Room)

Martial Arts Corridor
Last few days was kinda hectic, as there's this Martial Arts Corridor event which was held for the last two days. I had to prepare the booth on Sunday with all the committees, did most of the carrying part while the gurls handled the decoration. I think everyone did a considerably good job. But i thought the Martial arts corridor thing was a bit pointless, cuz setting up the booth at central plaza doesnt do any good to the club. It somehow doesnt really justify the work put into it. The last two days i had to be at the booth throughout the day, at the same time, setting up the booth in the morning and packing it up in the evening, man it was really boring and tiring at the end of the day.
Luckily it's over adi, and it's time to turn back to studies as midterm is just around the corner. Having no time to study at all this weekend cuz i'm goin to PD camp training, really need to start studying 2moro. Somemore i'm free the whole day tomoorrow..whEEEE~! The oni major setback is the transportation booking for the camp training this weekend. MMU working staff is just so inefficient. Sigh...

Spurs 3 vs Sunderland 2
Another 3 points in the bag, and we're up to 4th spot. With Wigan continuing their losing streak, the league is shaping up as what everyone expects with Chelsea the runnaway leaders , 2nd and 3rd spot for Arsenal n Man Utd to grab. 4th spot however is open for anyone. Liverpool's recent surge place them well up there at 2nd spot at the moment but i'm still kinda sceptical with Liverpool doubt they can make it for 2nd and 3rd spot, probably 4th spot would be a good target for them and hope they dun prove me wrong. Hope Spurs can start a winning streak and consolidate their winning streak. All the best for the next match againts the Pompeys~! *wink wink*

Hanging by a moment
I'm desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
you take all of me
Now.. I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm livin for the only thing I know
I'm running here and crashing where to go?
And I don't know what I'm diving in to
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to loose
There's nothing else to find
There is nothing in the world that can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
I'm desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
