Kenjutsu

Well Sam, your inquiries regarding kenjutsu bring me up to write a thing or two regarding this ancient art of sword fighting. Please bare in mind this is what I think. In any martial art human takes years to perfect the skills. The art of swift movement is key to success. Practice walking kenjutsu style follow by the way to swing the sword. In kenjutsu we seldom block the opponent sword but we normally deflect the blade away. Destroy your sword and your life will be over.
Sparing using the bokken is quite dangerous especially when we are using full speed and force. I would recommend trying 'Chanbara' do a search in the web regarding chanbara it will greatly help to refine your martial ability. What we lack (power) we can replace by using speed.

Weekend with the family

What? Our washing machine broke down... This is a major crisis... need drastic measure... So we could not wash so we went for a holiday. We decided to stay at Pantai Indah apartment I cost us RM120 pernight a good bargain for a 3 room apartment.

That night we all agreed to have seafood dinner. Saw Mama seafood but we all decide on Papa Seafood. A nice clean place just a few kilometers from Pekan Kapar.

Wake up early next day and as usual both my son and daughter went to the pool. Before breakfast we drove to Pantai Remis and saw a couple Mak Chik and Pak Chik catching fish (menjala). As usual we all busybody investigate how must fish they caught.


They caught this big crab. My Son had a fencing match with it.

After Breakfast my wife bought some kerang and she want to go fishing. So fishing we go.
No luck 2 fish escape us that day. So back to KL we go....

MAGERAN - Majlis Gerakan Negara 1970

Well, trip to Memorial Tun Abdul Razak made me aware that my late father was a part of Malaysian history. He was the member of MAGERAN Majlis Gerakan Negara in 1970 where Tun Abdul Razak was the PM then. At that time my father was 'Penggubal Undang-undang Parliment'(Not sure of the info) . My family is very excited that their 'Datuk' is part of history. I once saw this picture at my Mom house in JB. Maybe I will do some research on my Late father accomplishment and I will post here for all my family to see. Got to bring my scanner back to JB to capture all the old picture of my late father.

New family members

Well our old cat Nutron is somewhere up in the sky but he did leave behind his two sons Beckam and Balack. Same as their father the two love to attack my smelly sock and drag it under my sofa.

Labour Day holiday.

Miss my mom. So we all decided to 'Balik Kampung'. Thu night we drove back to JB. To avoid traffic jam we try the new highway to KLIA exit after Nilai. There was a bad accident 2.5km before Skudai Toll. Switch off the engine and wait about 45min before continue with our journey.
Saturday night I promise my sister children some activity at Danga Bay. So took them cycling need to burn some calories could not resist my mother cooking.

A lot of happy faces that night. Cause me RM75 for two buggy but the smile worth every sen.

Weekend with family Saturday.

Schedule to cycle in the evening, so as promise I have to attend my daughter 'Anugerah Cemerlang' where she score 8A's in the PMR exam last year.


After the event we all decide to go to Museum Negara to watch the Weapon exhibition where the kris and sword are sold.

Have our lunch there and we drove to Tasik Titiwangsa where my son ask if he could do some boating.


Return home at 4:30pm just in time for my cycling time. Bro Zack and Bro Dzul turn-up at 5:00pm. We cycle a round Wangsa Maju and back.

Weekend with family Sunday

So no cycling for me for the pass 3 weekends. So where to? The urge to get away from KL send us having lunch at Bukit Fraser. Before that need to fill my Wife wish to buy some orchid plant at Rawang.

At Bukit Fraser the food there is delicious and not that expensive. Plan to bring along my bicycle and go for jungle hiking next time.
