Crouching leopard Hidden TKD

When for Taekwondo training last night. It been awhile I came down for training and I hafta admit I was outta shape. Could barely survive half the training now. Oh man I gotta buck up man. Enlistment is in September so I got 1 and a half month to get myself fit again. Bleargh...

SP is hosting the World Cyber Games. So our usual training ground was occupied by the WCG. Had to move to the basketball which has its pros and cons. Pros first, I can park my car in full view of the court so yeah its convenient. The showers are practically nearer in my opinion. But the cons I hate training bare-footed at the court. Blisters I tell you, they'll pop up like pop corn. So luckily I brought my training shoes along.

Trained with Elmo (No. not that cute red furry monster from Sesame Street). Its funny though. I still remember 3 years ago when I first started TKD. Elmo was my instructor and I was always picked to be his demonstrator haha. He's so big and I swear I kick from him and I'll be having cramps for the rest of the week. But he's a nice guy. The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). Now 3 years later nothing's change. He still likes to pick me to be his partner to train. Although I'm already black belt now, I still see him as my instructor and not just another guy who is on the same level. I guess the respect is there.

Oh I finally got my black belt card and cert after, let me see (counting fingers) 6 freaking months. So yeah I got promoted in January and now in July I got my card and cert. Oh and Hairoul, your cert and card is with me bro. Give me a call if you read this message. Called you last night but nobody pick up the phone.

Was totally shagged after training last night. Was fighting fatigue while driving man. Now thats dangerous. Luckily there wasn't much traffic last night. Hadn't had dinner, so was kinda famish when I reached home. Heat up the leftovers and ate while watching "Growing Up Wild" on Animal planet. I love that show. Every episode shows a certain baby animal growing up. And I tell you no matter what, animal or human, a baby will still remain CUTE. Even if you're a baby warthog. I dunno maybe thats how God made them. Baby = CUTE.

I'm very big on cats. Big cats or small cats, wild or domestic, I still love them. Last night's episode was about the "Clouded Leopard". Not many people know much about them. Same goes for me. But I learn a few facts about them last night that I would like to share.

-They are the smallest of the big cats.
-They are the closest living creature to the Saber-toothed tiger. So if you wonder what a saber-toothed tiger would look like alive today. There you go, the Clouded leopard but on a smaller scale.
-They got the longest canine in relation to the body size of any wild cat.
-They can climb trees
-Hard to breed in captivity
-Lastly they are on the Endangered species list.


So there you are 6 random fact about the "Clouded Leopard". I think thats all for now. Will blog later or tml. bye
