Karate-do Belt upgrading ( 26-07-2009) - Yellow

Last Sunday, Patrick has his karate - do upgrading... from White to Yellow.... he has joined karate on Sept 2007 when he was primary 1, until this February 2009 he was a blue belt holder... unfortunately, the Karate school was closed due to renting problem, and move to a Kampung Hall at Tebobon.... mcm jauh ni... and the town had another Karate school, so we enroll him to the other school... the style of this karate are different than the last one.... Patrick have to start from the beginning.... he was so  frustrated, and still wear his blue belt when go to training..... the Sensei ( karate teacher ) pun OK saja la.... the teacher has his way to not make the children feel bad of having to start from the basic..... until last sunday.. he wore his white belt again for the upgrading.... don know how la, dia boleh mau pakai the white belt again, cox he berkeras tidak mau change when he is on training... maybe the sensei has their ways to persuade him...

On the day, he keep saying... ' mommy, 'wo pa pa' ( i m afraid)... deep inside my heart, i m worried he cannot do it... so i use la segala kata2 to make him feel comfortable... Then, all the karate students asked to gather for warming up..... maybe of the warming up... he start to feel comfortable, and start sdh nakal dia..... he made it.... lega juga la akhirnya....  Anyway, saya sempat juga la make friend with few parents... I only know Irene and Benedict, the rest tidak sempat tanya... Benedict have 5 children following the class... Irene have 1 daughter who was a white belt holder like Patrick sama2 mau p yellow belt....

The upgrading session start from 9 am and end at 12 noon.... Patrick keep saying he enjoyed the day he want to repeat the day lagi tu..., and looking forward for next upgrading session.... Sabar saja la Patrick.... need to practice lagi la for the green belt.... gambateh....

Gone but not forgotten - may her soul rest in peace

My husband's 2nd sister pass away this morning (08.07.2009)... I am so shock, it takes me a moment to cried out... blur and blank.. after my hubby called me for the news, my nieces, my eldest bro in law too calling me informing the bad news... I cannot control my tears... so upset, and me start panicking, everything all wrong.. My hubby sound the same too...

She is 50 this year, turning 51 this coming sept. We are close since I entered their family... she look like my mother in law.... when I saw her, it will heal my missing towards my late mother in law. She will call me and jeer me for not calling her. she was not good in mandarin speaking, she always talked in hokkien i answered her mandarin, years pass i learned the dialect, though not fluent but i understand.. i use my broken hokkien to comunicate with her than, no more mandarin... early this year before we went back for CNY, she called me and say how much you 'pao' your ang paw oo... make me so geli hati.. i miss her already.. She was so concern for me for not having 2nd children, and bought me medicine and a lot of advice blah blah... she sound like my mother in law too..

Last May, our eldest sister in law called us, informing that our late sis is having a cancer 3rd stage.. everybody heart broken, my husband and his siblings go back hometown to visit her... according to hubby she look ok and the cancer are controlled... everbody saying that dont worry, she is good and everthing will be fine... but only a few months she left us...

Hoe Koay Moay

May her Soul rest in Peace ... You always in our Heart....
