Hello dear readers,
So how are you?
Feeling refreshed from my story of the Water Festival?
I hope you are because here comes another fun story just few hours after that fun night.
So I woke up this morning after sleeping for barely 4 hours because I couldn't sleep properly last night.
I woke up wondering where I was.
Got up from my mattress which is on the floor and sat on my bed.
Gazed into the nothingness for a few minutes and then I moved to wash up.
When I was ready to go, I suddenly had a stomach ache so I went to the toilet.
After finishing my business, I left home.
I stopped by 7 Eleven to get some chocolate buns for breakfast.
When I reached school, I saw some of my juniors already waiting there.
Azriel (who called to inform me about class just late last night) wasn't there yet.
For some unknown reason, I felt the stomach ache again and I rushed for the toilet.
I felt better after that but I took some stomach ache pills anyway.
I got changed and my sensei arrived not long after.
We started with the basic warm up which was our Kihon Waza.
I was sweating crazy even just by doing our Kihon Waza.
Then, sensei took out some bottles for us to practice our knife fighting and evasions.
1-on-1 , then 2-on1, and then 3-on1.
I was exhausted from the attackers and then chasing my victims =D
Azriel came as soon as the knife training ended.
Then he lead us with the Kihon Waza again.
Once we were done warming up, we did some training.
We worked on our blocks, evasion, striking and timing.
The seniors (including me) were paired with a junior each to hone up on their skills.
After about an hour of training, sensei took out some equipments for sparring which I never knew he had in school before.
He said the school sponsored the club.
So Azriel enthusiastic as usual, quickly put on the equipment and was ready to kill.
Ng Yun Fui also put on the equipment.
So the first match was between two experienced senior.
I was the referee =D
The fight match was fist only.
It was funny the way they attacked each other because these two are so used to using their legs and hands together.
In the second match, legs and hands were both allowed and it was intense.
The were leg checking the body, body blows, face strike, swing, jab, hook, and even those that landed straight on the face.
I as the referee had to observe and tell them when to stop and start.
After them, two juniors had a sparring match.
They were being trained on how to spar.
So we used the uke (attacker) and tori (defender) system.
One is uke and the other is tori.
They were stiff since they were new but good enough for juniors.
Two matches each taking the role of either uke and tori for each match.
Third match was between one of our senior student and one junior.
Though it was a senior student, he wasn't train in sparring before.
So he is still considered rather new.
Again the uke and tori system was used so I don't really need to explain.
And finally, I had a match with Azriel.
Something I've really been looking forward for ages.
To have a sparring match with Azriel until....
Sensei said I will be the tori and Azriel will be the uke ..... =O
Sweet Jesus, my hope shattered and I know I'll die for sure.
But then again I have years of experience.
Worse thought though is, Azriel is very aggressive.
To make things worse, I have no idea why sensei did that tiring drill with me.
He killed half my stamina and put me into a sparring where I can only dodge, evade, parry....
I was like a lamb to the slaughter.
First round, Azriel was only going to strike using his hands.
I was ok moving around.
Few blows landed on my head (thank God for the headgear ) and at least one or two on straight on the face.
Second round.
I thought I was going to be the uke this time but instead I was still the tori.
This time, Azriel was allowed to use both his hands and legs.
So it was basically over for me.
Started moving around well for a few seconds until my stamina started running low.
I started gasping for air and my legs started to give way a little.
But nonetheless I moved for my life and pushed him to widen the gap.
I got hit one too many times on the face and body.
By the time it was over, I was already six feet under.
I felt like I was dead after that.
But it was awesome and fun.
Of course I'm not that terrible, I did dodge and keep the distance but then stamina is not my game.
Too bad I was not allowed to strike back though.
Whatever it is, I had an awesome day of training today.
I sweat like a waterfall.
After that we had a long chat on martial arts with sensei.
Then, Azriel treated Ng Yun Fui and me to a meal at Mary Brown.
I went home dead, not half dead.
From the amount of fun from last night to this.
I took a showered and I went to sleep.
So this was my best Ninjutsu class so far for this year.
And this is definitely my considered first class because the other time I was only helping sensei to train the juniors.
That is all dear readers.
So stay tune to more interesting time of my life in future.
Take care dear readers =D

My first experience of the Water Festival
Woah....
Its hot and burning these days in Malaysia.
The heat just gets to you like as though it pierces through your skin.
But nevertheless, there are ways of course to enjoy despite the heat.
Air-cond ~~?? You may think, but no.
The Water Festival.
Ever heard of this dear readers?
Well you might have not, because this is the term used by the Westerners because people pour water at one another as part of the cleansing ritual to welcome the new year.
It has its own names which varies based on the different kind of people , which one for example is it is called 'Thingyan' by the Burmese people.
The reason why water is used for this festival is because the new year falls during the hottest month in South East Asia.
So here is my first experience of the water festival which I want to share with you.
It all happened just yesterday.
Jomanda (a friend of mine) invited me and some others over to her house to celebrate the water festival with her family.
Namely Luke, Raymond, Arthur, Judy and Samantha.
Of course she did invited some others but they couldn't make.
And with her permissions I invited Julian along XP
Jomanda's family celebrates the Water Festival because her great grandmother was a Burmese.
So the plan for me was simple, Julian comes over to my house and we'll head to Jomanda's house together.
Julian reached my house at about 5pm.
He spent about an hour and a half at my house before we went to Jomanda's house.
So we left at about 6.30pm.
We got there in about 5 to 10 minutes.
And also it was very easy to find because I was very familiar with the Seremban 2 roads and of course my dad is professional cause he knows almost all the road in Negeri Sembilan. XO
When we got there, Luke, Raymond and Arthur were outside already soaked and playing with water.
They were then much earlier then we were.
So we went in and greeted everyone.
After that, Jomanda showed us the way to her room so we could keep our stuff and get changed.
Julian and me got changed and we went out to join the rest.
And of course as you can guess, I got wet the moment I got out XD
Straight from a rather high pressured hose straight to the face to start off.
And then a whole bucket of water as the welcoming ceremony =P
Julian was next.
We were soaked and wet but not the kind where you just got pranked but the kind where you have fun.
Funny thing was, I told Julian it was damn hot that day, but I have no idea why it was so freaking cold at that time =O
The wind was a piercing kind of cold.
But despite that, we had fun with water, made jokes and acted like fools (of course that is our way of having fun though XD)
Some of which that we were disturbing passer-bys.
We laughed our hearts out even from the very start.
Then Jomanda's mother took out some flower or leaf kind of water to bless us.
I'm not sure what it is, but one thing for sure it smelt nice.
After some time, Judy came.
Without mercy they started spraying water on her even before she kept her stuff in the room.... Haha XD
And then when she came out, the welcoming ceremony for her too.
A whole bucket of water.
Then the water playing and the jokes and everything continued.
Jomanda was busy setting up the table and helping her mum.
Half way through, she joined us and got wet along.
And no escape even for the host, the welcoming ceremony with a bucket of water. XP
Once the table was set, we stopped and went to grab a bite and rest up a little.
Julian was shivering from the cold while we were eating.
And then, Samantha came at around that time we were eating.
Of course she got sprayed with water and then the welcoming ceremony again XP
While we were eating, Luke or Raymond (I'm not so sure already who asked) asked why Jomanda's brother Juan (or as he asked us to call him Matthew) didn't join us.
They convinced him to join us and finally he joined us.
I think he felt a bit awkward at first, but after listening to the way we speak and all he started getting interested and joined us in the fun.
And when you join in a fun that involves water, you never escape getting wet.
So through with the welcoming ceremony =P
The fun went on for hours.
The jokes, the laughter, the screaming, the running around, water spraying.
It was just too much of fun until....
The ice cold water came out =O
I was one of the first victim to it along with Luke.
Suddenly ice cold water came into play.
More screaming and of course, MORE COLDER~~!!!
Around some time ( I have no idea when because we were having too much of fun) while we were having fun playing with water, Jomanda's uncle , Justin, and 3 other girls joined us in the fun.
Though they were just acquaintance to us, we had fun with them like as though we knew them for so long.
The best attack with water was when Julian and me started singing.
We sang whatever that came to mind.
Then suddenly cold water shot from a water gun came to us.
We continued singing anyways, then Raymond and Luke came with a few buckets of water.
One after another ~~~ *splash*
The first few buckets we were still sitting.
There were mixture of cold water and warm water coming.
After too much, we couldn't take it anymore so we moved away from the chair and stopped singing of course.
And I tell you, the amount of water that entered my ears could fill a few thirsty people (jokingly meaning of course =P )
But still, a lot of water.
The fun went on through the night and of course, everything has to come to an end.
Everyone stopped exactly at the time we saw the big tear on Luke's shirt XP
They went to get changed.
Samantha went back after that.
Judy had went home earlier while we were still playing with water outside.
Julian and myself were having a nice chat with Juan while sitting on the floor at the gate of the house.
We three grew rather fond of each other, talking like 'brothers' (in the friend kind of brother).
After having a nice chat with Juan, Julian and me went up to get changed as well.
We showered and got changed.
And funny thing was, I had another first time experience on that day.
Did you know, it was the first time I actually used a hair dryer in the 18 years of my life.... Haha XD
After resting a little, Juan told us Jomanda, Luke , Raymond and Arthur were at the playground so we went together with Juan to join them.
We played at the playground for a while and then we headed back to Jomanda's place.
Julian and me sat at the dining table having some personal talk while eating whatever was on the table.
Juan was on the computer playing LOL (League of Legends) which of course I did take some interest on while sitting there.
Raymond, Luke and Arthur fell asleep upstairs which I later found out.
So the day ended and everyone headed home.
I think everyone had a whole lots of fun.
I knew I did though =D
There were actually a lot of other funny events that took place but of course I can't write them all down.
Photos were taken for memories as usual. (I'll just post the group one down over here)
I got back watched television till around 2.30am and then went to sleep.
I had to go for ninjutsu class the next morning.
So that was my experience of a Water Festival.
Maybe you should try once in your life to experience something like this.
So to my dear readers, take care and look forward to more of my stories and experiences.

A little to catch on about...
Hi readers,
Has been long huh? =D
As usual, I've been lazy and playing games for the past few weeks.
So how are you all?
Hope you're fine.
So here's a glimpse of what happened in the past few weeks.
I've finally gotten my SPM results :)
And guess what...
I've got exactly as I predicted and wanted (minimum actually XP )
5A's 3B's 2C's
Everything above standard (which is C and above)
But of course would have been better if I've gotten a straight -.-
Anyways, with that result, I registered at INTI for the Diploma in Information Technology course.
But then few days later, a friend of mine convinced me to go to UNITEN (University Tenaga National).
He said he might be going there too.
So I registered there for the Foundation in Information Technology course instead.
Things were hectic for awhile getting all the paperwork to get the YTN (Yayasan Tenaga National) loan.
And after about a week everything was done.
Just today I came to know that friend of mine has registered at MMU (Malaysia Multimedia University) instead.
Some friend he turned out to be.
But whatever it is, I'm glad he convinced me to do so.
Plus, it would be easier on my parents because my father will receive the privilege as a staff of Tenaga National.
I'm looking forward to life in college there =)
So apart from the studies stuff, my birthday has pass not so long ago =D
About a week or so....
And I'm officially 18 now =D
All the things I could wish to do (18+ movies... hehe XD )
It was also so nice to receive so many greetings on facebook...
The best was a group of my friends called me early in the morning while they were in school to wish me =D
P.S. They were not there for class or anything, they were there for an IPTA thing
My dad even took the whole family out for a treat at Kensington for my birthday =D
Yummy food =P
Even better yet, my brother who is working bought me a Kinect and sent my X-box for and upgrade..
Yay ME~~!! =D
So it was a good birthday.
And then I also had my friends over just last week Saturday.
Namely they were Vijaya, Daryl, Ezra, Zafri, Heng Yi Min, and Julian.
They came over at around noon.
We were upstairs playing with my X-box (before we send it for upgrade).
Daryl, Ezra and Vijaya were so engrossed in playing football.
Yi Min, Zafri and myself were busy talking while doing stuff on the laptop.
Julian came way much later in the evening.
At around 6, we went to our main event.
The main purpose for them coming over~~~ Playing pool =)
I have a pool board so we could play 24/7 for free =P
So we played pass the night till the dark.
Coincidently, it was Earth Hour.
The rest went home already but Yi Min and Julian were there.
My family went out to celebrate my parent's anniversary by having dinner outside.
So it was just me and my two buddies.
We had dinner in the dark, played pool in the dark, and we even shared ghost stories =)
And the night passed, they went home earlier then expected but I had a great day that day.
So that about roughly summarise my past few weeks.
And in which this week I was celebrating the Holy Week.
I'll continue to write my stories here readers so don't miss out on my life.
It could be fun, it could be emo...
It could be spiritual, it could be anything...
But if you wanna know about my life, you're in the right place.
Take care readers =)
