Have you ever jumped off a ledge before with your own free will?
I bet you didn't because you won't dare to do it.
Well let me tell you why I say this.
There is no place in the world where people will train you to jump off a high ledge unlike in ninjutsu.
Yesterday after school, my ninjutsu instructor, myself,some senior ninjutsu students and some scouts stayed back after school to help out with setting the obstacle up.
Though not all obstacle that was planned has been set up because of lack of time and the rain.
This training is for the purpose of the coming first ever ninjutsu night camp in S.P.I.
The next morning, which is today, all the ninjas came earlier than usual.
Wow!! Because most of them usually come only after I come on the Saturday classes.
Some obstacle that has been set up yesterday was still there and then we continue putting up the rest of it.
I helped with the ladder hanging obstacle along with Sachin and some of my juniors.
While the preparing was still going on, I assesmbled all the ninjas on the field.
As usual, I test their rolls and falls, the basics, then start off training and checking their skills.
For today I specially took only the afternoon session as I am unable to train them all the time.
And I had fun training them.
After an hour of training, the clock pointed 10 and we started off with our obstacle training. Yay!!!
We started off by breaking into 2 groups as there was an extra big group compare to normal. 32 I think.
So one was my group and the other was Alex's. I took the weaker group because I enjoy training them ^.^
Alex group started with rope climbing and jumpin off the ledge, while I took my grouped to the dead man's crawl first.
I showed them a demo and fell off half way :C , but then everyone did it and I manage to do it after my second try.
Next, we went on to walking on bamboo, all passed but some did it horribly.
After that was the charmeleon crawling, most of my group members couldn't do it well.
So we decided for them to make it at least half way to pass the training.
But still a lot of them was unable to do it. Then I did a demo and ,boom, I did it so well when I actually couldn't do it.
I just stepped on the bamboo, and when my back leg went forward I just shifted my momentum and rushed all the way up. Yay!! Peace >.<
But still many couldn't do so we skipped to the tyre hanging.
I being so heavy did it first to encourage the rest of them, this went smoothly XD
Then we came back to the charmeleon walking again.
Then Sensei Low came and showed us another demo and we ended up asking them to walk up instead (to those who did the charmeleon walking good job and for the rest try harder)
Then the teachers in charge exchange groups and sensei took us to the caterpillar crawl.
The caterpillar crawl is basically hanging upside down on the rope and move like a caterpillar as the how its name is.
At first try I failed miserably, at the second try wow!! so cantik(beautiful)
Finally, the fun part came. It was climbing up the rope and jumping off the ledge.
This was the most interesting obstacle. Climbing up the rope was horrible as my group could hardly do it.
This was the only obstacle I fail to do. Only a few of my members managed to reach the top.
I think Alex's group all made it up as he had the more stronger ninjas with him.
And the final obstacle, jumping off the ledge. Ok readers, when I say jumping off a high ledge, there is a big high jump mattress down there ok. We won't be crazy to do a training that can injure people.
Coming back to the subject, this was a rather horrifying yet exciting experience.
It trains us to be able to jump off a high place in situations like a house on fire or something like that.
Sensei's son went first. Before jumping we are required to tell our name and ask for permission to jump.
And next was me. When it was my turn, Ng Jing Ming , one of the scouts that helped us, called out 'Jason Niap is jumping' and like lightning all the ninjas gathered around to see me make the jump.(Funny >.<)
Then, I told my name and requested permission to jump. Thinking about it is so much easier than actually doing it.
I took my time and took a breath. Then when I wanted to jump, fear pulled me back.
Then I took another breath and jumped down. Everyone went 'Wow!!' and I landed with 2 flaws.
One is my knee hit down and second is my face hit.
If there was no mattress I would be dead. But I enjoyed the jump and am happy we can do it again on the camp. Yay!!
After that all the ninjas went home while some of the seniors helped to take out the obstacles and return it back to its places.
Later, Mr.Low(sensei) took us to have a drink and some toast over at the Old Town Kopitiam just across the school to celebrate the success of the training.
And so we chit chat and then went home.
This is basically what I did for this two days. I will post the photos of this training on another post after I obtain it from my friend.
I hope you all enjoy this post because I know this is an exciting experience. Take care and good night readers I want to rest after a long day hehe >.<
Catch on with weird stuffs that I(Jason Niap a.k.a. Hollowcow) do and random stories that I can come up with. Slighty spiritual and emotional at times. Hope you like this blog and read it whenever you are free >.< Remember: Life is short, enjoy it to the fullest.Life is filled with hardship, embrace it with a strong heart and you will succeed.

The Fridge
Okay readers, have you ever thought what will happen if one day your fridge went on fire and you lost it all?
Of course you won't. Here is what happened to my fridge today.
After coming back from school today, my mum was talking with my brothers. I was like 'What is happening?' Then I asked my mother, 'Why got so many things on the table?' Then she told me about what happened earlier today. First, she told me about the embarassing moment when she went to take the money from the bank and there was no money because my dad has taken it via the card. Lol. Then, she told me about the fridge.
When she came back, she smelled a burn smell.
She realised that something was wrong with the fridge yesterday but did not expected this to happen.
She said the freezer was burning like and oven (scary just thinking of it >.< ouch)
The plastic cover had bloated to an air bag. She showed it to me.
A lot of stuff was spoiled thanks to that.
So she has called the man who usually fix our fridge, but his phone line was cut ( he must be facing problems but screw him he is a con, continue reading and you will know why)
Ok, so my mum called another repairman who my aunty suggested.She says that they know her.
They took a hell long of time to come and make the necessary repairs.
My mum was getting furious, but it was worth the wait.
And then they came while I was having my lunch : gimchi and milo ....hehe ^o^
There was 3 of them. One almost looked like a gangster, but he was a handsome and friendly guy haha >.<
They pulled the fridge out to check on it.
First he asked whether the fridge was fixed before and my mum said yes.
When my mum told him about my aunty he did not know her instead he knew her brother haha.
After talkin a while we realised that he was a Lobak person, just like my mum, so he can be trusted.
Then, he took out his drill and opened it up. (the inside looked so cool >.<)
He checked throughly and found out the problem.
The thingy that makes the fridge cold has burnt to crisp thus the freezer has become a heater instead.

Well, at least the worst did not happened.
The man said luckily we found out about it soon enough because it could have caught on fire.
He say the top part of the freezer will burn.
There is a gas tank inside below the fridge to help it keep cold therefore the fire would have caused an explosion.
Suddenly, he saw a wire and got angry.
He said that the man(who was the con) who previously fixed our fridge has coned us.
He said that he took out only one thing and put in this useful piece of wire.
It can be dangerous and one of the reason why the fridge knocked out.
By the end of it he explained a lot of things to use about some other malfunction as well.
Then he took out a plastic and a box with wires to fix the fridge.
The box with the new wires used to replace the old one.
A bag that contained a new set of that thing to cool up the fridge.
He explained that the things to replace anything spoiled in a fridge is quite cheap but people will put in a cutthroat price.
As soon as he finished fixing the fridge, he gave us a sticker of their company to put up on the fridge.
Hua Shin company(trustworthy)
Why I say trustworthy?
Bcoz he explained every single problem.
Before leaving, he told use 3 things to take note of when people come to repair:
- The object is never taken back to be repaired as we would not know what he has done to it.
- They can set any price because we don't know what he has done to it.
- All work can be done on the spot.
Well is not exactly what he said, but that was how I remembered it.
Anyways, point no.1 is the most important thing to take note of.
And if you need repairs for your air-conditioner, call this guy haha >.<
Well, that was a gist of what happenned.
Besides the fact he left his drill behind and had to turn back to take it....haha >.<
And oh yea, it costed RM185 altogether.Quite expensive but it is better than having your house burnt down.
Stay tune to my blog readers, I'm gonna go watch television and go to sleep.
Good night >.<
The tale of Confusion
Have you ever felt a sense of confusion so bad that you don't know what u really want?
Well here is a tale of a lost and confuse soul, boy H .
Once there was a boy, H. He is a boy who lives life without a single care or worry. All he does is enjoy life playing video games and going to school. This boy outgoing around the boys, turns out to be very shy when he is around girls. It is so because ; His siblings consist of two brothers, he goes to an all boy school and he does not go out so often to meet with people like going to tuition centres or anything like that.
So one day this boy, H , finds out that he has feelings for this particular girl, B . He wondered whether this feeling was love or just his imagination. H had some mixed emotions in him. So H seeked advice from his friends, some expected it while some did not. H got some useful advice, one out of them was 'Go and confess la!! Instead of keeping it to yourself ' . Ok, so thats what they told H, but it was no easy task for him.
As usual when H sees B online, he will have a chat with her. And so the conversation went on and at last he confessed. But as expected even before he attempted to, he got rejected as there was another person in B's life. H was afraid that his confession would cause him to lost a good friend, so he quickly apologised. H felt sad at that point, but he continued his life as usual. But, there was a flaw in his usual life, he thought he did not cared anymore, he tells his friend ' I don't think I love B anymore' . Well, H had bought a key chain for B even before he confessed, but he bought it as a friend.
Wanting to give B this key chain, he brought it to class one day. While talking to his friends, B enters the class. H turned and saw her. He was not suppose to have any feelings for B anymore, but he was afraid to even say 'Hi' to her as he usually does. Hell, he did not even dared to look at her, feeling embarassed I guess. In his mind, he was afraid that she will be mistaken for the reason he is giving the key chain to her.
So H decided to bring it to school the next day even though B has not followed the bus for some time. That day H was telling his friends the exact same story of himself as I am telling you. H told his friend, P , that if B comes to the bus he will give it to her. P made a bet with him, but H was confused and afraid. P, told H 'Today B surely will follow the bus' and H replied 'Ya lah, ya lah'. Heck, it really happened, but H chickened out. Again he couldn't even say 'Hi' .
Boys and girls, my dear readers, don't be like how H was, it will only cause you to be confused. When you want to do something, go for it because you will regret more what you did not do than what you have done.
Remember that and live your life to the fullest. Continue following my blog and stay updated. Bye all >.<
