Happy new year everyone!

Wow.. I've been soo busy these past few months n it took me quite sometime toneven open up my own blog! I'm sitting in the pantry and writing something to start up my new year entry.

Still got some big things to settle... Like my thesis n work.. I just need one more submission left bfo i send it for hardcovers. Next week is the submission week n plzz God, dont let me screw things up as this is the final marks for me to score. If i manage to do well for my thesis, i would really be pleased. Coz i know with the hectic schedule and lack of sleep that i'm having now, i probably could not give my bestest effort. But, i will try abd strive hard, all out this weekend . This is my last chance.

I havent write down my new year's resolution yet, but am going to do so soon. I'm turning 24 in a couple of weeks .. Woah.. I'm not getting younger and i really need to explore my opportunities n options more. Last two days was my interview for Masters degree for research, but i didnt go. I wanna work and wait for the scholarship application to come out n then apply for it. Let me gain more working experience first bfo i start off studying hard again. And a Masters degree would be much more harder . Let me make some savings or my future first (at least) bfo i start off studiying and use my parents money again.. :-D

Well, got to go back to work now. Toodles!

N, i've started my 2012 being single again. N i'm loving it.

November

2011-11-01T00:01:00.002+08:00

November, November..

Lot's of stuff and task to be look at for this month. I've just passed my Personal Trainer Foundation and now my journey in fitness industry yet to be written again.

It has been about a year and a half since i've left Clark Hatch Excite Fitness Centre in Johore and now I'm starting my career as a personal trainer all over again. I'm really hoping that I can do my best and this time, I'm aiming bigger than usual.

There's a big future coming up in front of me since I've already completed my degree internship at ISN. I'm looking forward to start it off again. And tomorrow, the 1st day of November would be the stepping stone for my new beginning.

Now its time for me to put my studies into good use. ;)

2011-10-17T19:38:00.003+08:00

Misunderstandings can cause too big of a problem if you don't untie the knot a.s.a.p.

Forgets or can't remember or recall the things you have said to someone may also add up the complications.

Doing the unthinkable and letting thing slips by easily may also cause disastrous epics.

Thinking that you are always right and do not take up opinions of others will only make it worst.

And that is why we need to SOLVE it a.s.a.p. , make things clear for both sides and try to find a solution.

I just can't bare having my thoughts and opinions all smuggled up in my mind. If I know that I am right, I'll voice it out and try to debate it thoroughly. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it and learn from my mistakes.

Hello, I'm a Fitness Firster!

2011-10-01T15:49:00.002+08:00

;) Yupe.. after 2 sessions of interview with the fitness manager and the general manager, I have finally sign the contract last 28th of October.

Goin' back to the gym mode once again. I've just had my first TRX class just now at 12.10pm. It was fun, but for me it wasn't that tough. The abs workout was cool but upper n lower body workout was easy. hehe..I didn't sweat that much. Just started to sweat when the instructor instructs us to do the abs workout. And, I was routing for Dave Nuku to conduct, but he wasn't in for the day so someone else took over. :( boo hoo , its ok though still has many more months (probably years) to come.

I have been thinking, I should try working here for some time. See how it goes first. Think I would hang around longer than I use to. Maybe work for a year or two then continue with my studies again. Which ever comes first benefits me..

This upcoming Tuesday, I have to attend the induction at Fitness First HR at Manulife. Then the next day, I probably would have to come-in for the morning shift. Later at 2.30pm I'm going to present my research paper in the International Conference of Sport Science and Recreation at the Holiday Villa & Suites, Subang Jaya. Wish me Luck!

Got lots of things going on and soo little time to do it. hehe. Owh yeah, I forgot to mention that this upcoming Monday maybe there's gonna be some reporters from Majalah Rapi coming to the FSR Gym for an interview session. And maybe I'm going to show them some moves/exercise for their magazine.

So, till then. I still have a presentation slide to prepare .

Wish me luck guys!

Toodles n wassalam.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri

2011-08-26T14:55:00.008+08:00

Celebrated by the Muslims signifies the end of the fasting season of Ramadhan for a month. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration for the Muslims. Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed.

This festive occasion is greeted with great joy, the young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and everyone will put on new clothes. Open house or invitation for relatives and friends to come to their house is practiced. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. Houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated with the lighting of oil lamps to welcome the angels which believed to be visiting the earth during the seven days preceding the festival. The celebration lasts for a month which the celebration is concentrated in the first three days.

Well, some might call it Hari Raya Aidilfitri, some might call it Hari Raya Puasa, Eid-ul Fitr. But one thing for sure, its a day of celebration (hari kemenangan), where family, friends and loved ones gathered together after a month of fasting in Ramadhan month.

My definition of Raya? Its a time where I get days off from work to be with my family and kitties. ;) <3

To bake, cook and eat. hehehe... Not only that though, I do feel self-comfort when I'm back home with my mum, dad, siblings n kitties. Nowadays, its hard to get the family all together at one time. Whenever me or my siblings get back home for any other holidays, we won't get the same dates or same days of holidays. Sometime theres 4 of us, sometimes theres 2 or some other times, I'll be the only one home. So, its great that on this couple days of holiday, I get to spend it with my family. Even though my bf is not going to spend it with us this year, I'm going to meet him up later anyways. ;p

So, i'm taking this wonderful opportunity of free time (here waiting for mum n dad to come pick me up at ISN) to wish every muslimin and muslimat all over the world who's celebrating Eid-ul Fitr and not forgetting my blog readers (if there is any! haha lol)....

2011-08-23T14:36:00.002+08:00

Yeah. 3 more days and i'll be back in my owh-soo-comfy bed.

Its been a while now, since my last beauty sleep on my comfy everlasting bed.

3 more days and i'll be opening the doors to my bedroom. Ahhh~~ comfort. soft. lovely bed.

Home, home, home. Is where I haven't set foot in a while. The very last time before I started my journey as an intern, it was two months ago. Hmmppfff.... Can't wait to 'omnomnom' my lil kitties. I miss my Shinbee, Shorty Bubu, and all of the eleven cats at home. Can't wait to lay in bed and hug them while I rest my eyes. hehe.

It has been all work and no play for me here in ISN. I tend to learn as much as I can, to grab any opportunities of learning as much as I can in this few short months. And, I know my blog has been somewhat boring coz lately theres a lack of pictures or images in my entries. Well, theres soo any things that I wanna write and tell, but there is just not enough time for me to blabber all day long. There's work to be done, my research study, being a RA for Mr Pitt and Prof Zul and... Eid is coming up just around the corner. Fuhh. Its almost a month of Ramadhan already? Woah.. time do flies by very fast these days. The next thing you know, I might be blogging about my degree convocation! Haha. Or probably my wedding day?! LoL

Well, I miss my family. It has been a while since me and my siblings gathered all together. These past few months has been incomplete. Hehe.. So, my parents are going to pick me up this Friday and we'll probably do some Raya shopping. Owh, yea. I haven't done any Raya shopping at all. Huhu. Can't wait!

3 more days to go.

p/s: oh, I forgot to mention that I'm currently staying with my cousin, Zahira Ahmad at Sri Petaling. so, I am walking everyday to ISN. (trying to do a lil bit of cardio since I haven't got the chance to hit the gym in a while. hmpf)

I'm currently writing the chapter 1 of my practical report. So, here's some info about the centre.

Currently I don't have the centre's logo, hmmm... probably will update it soon. :)

SPORTS BIOMECHANICS CENTRE

biomechanics@isn.gov.my

The Centre for Biomechanics aims to provide world class sports biomechanical services through the integrated application of sports and exercise sciences, technological and health sciences to assist and create innovative, practical and effective solutions.

Services
Biomechanics is the study of forces and the effects of those forces on and within the human body. Whenever a force is applied to the body, biomechanics can analyze and interpret its cause and effect. Applied sports biomechanics incorporates techniques and applications from physics, human anatomy, mathematics, computing and engineering to prevent injury and to improve performance.

The Biomechanics Centre is involved in observation, measurement and analysis of training and competition performance by utilizing advanced motion analysis equipment and technology and using this information to support athletes’ development. By studying an athlete's performance, factors limiting performance can be identified and the coach can then incorporate drills and intervention into the athlete's training to overcome the shortcomings.

Biomechanical analysis can involve testing in the laboratory (under controlled conditions), field testing (where the athlete's performance is analyzed in training or while simulating a performance in the usual sport setting), or competition analysis (analysis of an athlete performing in competition). The information collected in training and competition environment can be compared over weeks, months or years and can be used to show athletes progression, and help coaches to make decisions with regards to the athletes training and performance, if needed.

Equipment includes: force platforms used for a variety of tests; high speed cameras and infra-red cameras that work with reflective markers for clinical and sports analysis systems. A variety of biomechanical and notational analysis software systems, instrumented treadmill and timing devices, and various sport specific analysis systems for golf, aquatics, cycling, sailing, martial arts and other sports are also used.
Equipment and analysis systems available at ISN Biomechanics include:

Panasonic 50Hz Digital Cameras
Sony High Speed Cameras
Eagle Infrared High Speed Cameras
Gaitway Instrumented Treadmill
AMTI (3D) Force Platforms
AMTI (3D) Balance Force Platforms
(1D) Vertical Force Platforms
Stalker Radar Gun System

Internship

2011-07-10T23:44:00.003+08:00

Yupe. Currently am doing my practical internship at the National Sports Institute Malaysia(ISN) in Bukit Jalil. Its the one right next to MSN (Majlis Sukan Negara) and opposite the National Stadium.

I'm placed in the care of the Sports Biomechanics Centre. And am loving it here! Eventhough theres a lot of work (research assignments) to do, but it was fun! Everyday is an interesting day. On my very first day, I have to think of a short study that I have to do on biomechanics other that what I have planned to do. Then on Wednesday, I've learned to palpate lower limb areas on where to place the reflective markers for a depth jump test.

I've learned and read the entire Silicon Coach manual book and I have started using it. I've done video captures on the sepak takraw's service and the killer's position. Close up and the side view. En Nadzrin, my supervisor at ISN told me that later on I have to calculate the degrees and angles of the still image.

Well, thats another chapter to write about.

Gotta get myself some zzzZZZzz...

Looking forward to the 2nd week of my days as an intern!

Toodles n wassalam!

What's Up Rai?

2011-05-30T10:53:00.003+08:00

Some of my friends have already approached me and ask about the lack of blog entry.

Truly am sorry. The thing is, the college that I'm staying does not have any internet service. No free wifi. :'(

But i'll try my best to update on what's going on. hehe

To wrap up the last weekend (which was the 2nd week of my intersession), on Wednesday, my Bf and a couple of friends of mine..we all went to UPM for a briefing on a volunteer job for the Hari Sejuta Belia Negara 2011.

We were all so thrilled about it (bayangkan lah, sape x excited klu sanggup naik moto dr Shah Alam to Serdang?) rite to the point when the organizer (KOSMO) told us that our shift was actually a 12 hour long. 9.00am - 9.00pm and 9.00pm - 9.00am.

I was like erkkk?? O_o

They were going to pay us about RM50 for a 12 hour work where both of my friends did not agree to it 100%. So, at the end, we have to turn down the job coz we didn't think that a 12 hour work was worth it. My apologies to Bee Nadrah Audya and her Bf. Anyways, they didn't told us that it was a 12 hour shift. So... get what I mean?

So then, on Saturday my Bf, Ikhmar and Reza did a catering job for a wedding banquet at Crystal Crown Hotel in Klang. It was an 8 hour job with RM60 payment.

It was an experience! I had never done this kind of job before, and I was feeling quite fond of it. :)

It was quite fun despite the feeling of plantar facitis. hehe...

But, we had fun.

till then..

Toodles & Wassalam

Its just something that me and my friends encounter these past few days. Head cramps, headaches, lost of appetite, stress...

Yep. Well, u are saying its typical student life rite? But, add the intensity by having to sit for a quite tough final examinations three days in a row (without gaps ok.) ! Fuh~~

Botak kepala~ hehe

And the reason I manage to post this topic up is becoz that my next paper is in 3 days time.

haha.

more head crampings to go!

Major Purpose of Performance Analysis

2011-04-29T11:55:00.002+08:00

1. Tactical Evaluation (notational)

- Enables evaluation of tactical maturity at each level of individual or team skills development.

- Difference choice of tactics use is one of the most reliable indicators of determining an athlete's level of technical development and physical maturity.

- E.g. : In executing a penalty shot kick, the % of target location of shots are taken.

2. Technical Evaluation (notational)

- Quantitative evaluation of success and failure rate in the execution of a specific motor skill.

- Information derived from technical evaluation are collaborated with information from tactical information in order to build a successful performance model.

- E.g. : In returning a tennis serve. Record % of failure and success of returns using forehand or backhand.

3. Movement Analysis (biomechanical)

- Evaluate: Intensity of specific skills execution during performance.

- Facilitates in quantifying athlete's work rate during match or competition; can be conducted via analyzing overall action & skill kinematics

- E.g. : In Badminton. - the use of strategy of 'running around' to execute a stroke from one's preferred side is high in club level players but low among professionals.

4. Building of Performance Model & Database

5. As a coaching education

Just finish watching this japan drama this morn. It took me only 2 days. Coz I was soo addicted to it. Before this, I was watching Honey and Clover, then decided to watch Hana Kimi. I didn't know at first that Toma Ikuta was stArring in both of the dramas. But, it was a great drama and I laughed every episode. :) awwww.. it has been a while since I've watch any japanese drama series. I'm a person who wants to know the ending fast. And that is why I tend to get frustrated when I do not know the ending. and it will make me want to watch it more n more. haha..

I might have been a lil' bit late in knowing this drama coz I previously am not a huge fan of dramas (except How I Met your Mother.. hehe) but, now I am really looking forward to more Toma Ikuta's scene. hhehe...

toodles!

of Bubur Jagung n Surprise Bday

2011-03-26T08:30:00.003+08:00

While waiting for a friend of mine to upload pictures of last nite's surprise bday for Mohamad Khairul Reza, I'm just going to post up the recipe for bubur jagung first. teheeeeee a very simple, yet delicious bubur jagung.

Bubur Jagung (Sweet Corn Soup)

1 can of cream style corn (real corn is encouraged, but coz i'm making it in my hostel so, come out from a can will do. hehe)

5-6 tablespoon of sugar

2 cups of coconut milk

3 cups of water

a pinch of salt

1/2 cup of flour or custard powder (mix up with some fluid)

Method

Mix everything up in a pot except the flour mixture.

Stir well until everything is mixed well.

Cook it up to a boil and the add in the flour mixture when it starts to bubble.

Stir well again.

Wait about 2-3 minutes, and ur done!

Just as simple as that.

p/s: if u want to make it sweeter, add a couple spoon of sugar according to ur liking. and if you want it to be more thicker, add some more flour mixture.

Wellness X 7 2011

2011-03-18T13:18:00.012+08:00

I've promised my dear freinds to make an entry bout Wellness X 7 (WX7). But because it seems to be a hectic and busy week for me, maka lambat sket lah di update.

So, as usually Wellness X is a compulsory for us SR223 to organize as per requirement of our subject Fitness and Wellness. As for us, we already did it last time in 2010. Click here to see the entry.

The semester 3 juniors organized it at the UiTM Shah Alam's Sport Complex Hall. Well, basically WX7 is an event where we combine various aerobic dance. Its kinda like the group-X thinggy u do at the gym. Zumba, Hip hop, Ci-qong, Pilates are some of the main attractions. Blood donation program was held outside the hall. I wanted to donate my blood after the show, but sadly they closed their counter at 9.00pm

The event gone until as late as 12am. This semester it was extra special coz the theme 'Zumba All-Stars' was uphold. This means, it was Zumba zumba all nite long! haha

My Zumba teammates and I were invited as special guests. So, we had to perform too. Hehee.. we didn't wear our body fit blue/red shirts, instead we wore our WX5 dry fit shirts.

Well, think let the pictures speak its own language. enjoy!

2011-03-15T22:59:00.003+08:00

hehe. first time nk join komuniti Ben Ahaari nih..

here's my first try :)

Sila ceritakan latar belakang anda....

Saya seorang pelajar tahun akhir Sarjana Muda Sains Sukan di UiTM Shah Alam. Berumur 24thn. Lahir pada 02021988 di Hospital Sultanah Aminah, JOhor Bahru.

Love the outdoors and travelling. Was a personal trainer at Clark Hatch JB.

Gym is my third home. hehe... Dan saya sgt suka kan kucing and haiwan. :)

I'm the eldest from 4 siblings dan sebab itulah saya seorg yg boleh berdikari. hehe Saya sukakan wildlife n nature. byk sgt la saya suka. dh dh...

Profession anda sekarang....

Alamak! Dah terjawab dalam soalan latar belakang tu pulak. hehe.. xpe, jwb je lg.. Profession saya adalah seorang pelajar. Tapi profession yang saya idamkan is biomechanist. hehe

Blog favourite anda... Kenapa?

Of coz la blog saya! ehehehhe. ok2.. My favourite blog has to be Maria Elena is Greek Helen. Why? Because she's soooooo funny! hehe.. xtau la.. Cik Maria ni pada saya adalah sgt kelakar. Actually, I don't have a specific blog that I am really into, but my guilty pleasure are somewhat like, Sue Anna Joe's (coz I love her art work and I first started knowing her from my sis mase pergi Rantai art fest 2006), Hanis Zalikha (sometimes la, tgk entry gak la. but I started following her when she was featured in NuffNang's blogger of the month. Back then I didn't have a clue who she was), and my sis Aca and Ain (coz I miss them and I want to know what they have been up to. hehe hey, that's one of the purpose why we read other people's blog kn? to get updated and to get info). I read these blogs not because i'm a fanatic fan ke ape, just that sometimes I just love reading and I like to know about what currently people are doing and what's happening in the fashion world. hehe COntohnye, cam Maysaa baru-baru ni, I x sempat nk g, but because many blogged about it, so I didnt miss that much la (cume xdpt jumpe Hana Tajima -_- ).

And yeah, satu lagi. Lupe nk btau. Saya suka makan. So saya suka foodblog! yay

note:

Maria Elena, if ur reading this.. I just wanna say that... "Ur sooo damn adorable and superduper FUNNY!" :)

Blog yang anda tak suka nak masuk.. kenapa?

salah satu ciri-ciri blog yang saya x suka nak masuk adalah blog2 yang loading lame sangat.

blog-blog yang ada lagu bising-bising sgt.

blog-blog yang langsung xde gambar. hehe

Any specific ones? takde la kot. walaupun klu saya x suka blog tu, saya akan try bukak dan try baca sket dulu. hehehehehe

Impian anda terhadap blog anda

Impian. hmm...

impian ea? xde la pape sgt kot.. just klu leh nk ramai kn traffic la. haha. tambah follower? yeke? xpe. saye xkesah pun. saya just suka menulis ble ada masa lapang. kadang2 tu, sehari 2, 3 entry. ikut tahap kerajinan la. Klu nak ikotkn, dh lame gak saya berblog nih, dr tahun 2007 lg. Tp disebabkab saya ni post entri mengikut mood, tu lah x beribu-beribu entry yg terkumpul.

impian utk blog ni adelah, utk menambah kn lebih byk entry2 setiap thn dan meramaikan lg pembaca2. heehee..

Tsunami Struck Japan

2011-03-11T18:55:00.002+08:00

It's devastating and saddened my heart to see tragedy that hits Acheh a couple of years ago struck us again in our neighboring country.

Its just yesterday I went for my weekly Nihon-go (Japanese) class, and our sensei was telling us about skiing in Japan. Later this afternoon, I heard the sad news.

Large areas of Japan's northern Pacific coast have been swamped by a devastating tsunami, engulfing entire towns following a major 8.9 offshore quake.
The massive wave of water, as high as 10 metres in some parts, reached more than five kilometres inland.
The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast amid warnings of a tsunami of between six and 10 metres.
Towns and farms around Sendai city in northern Japan have been engulfed by a seven-metre tsunami, while a four-metre wave swamped parts of Kamaishi on the Pacific coast.
Residents have been ordered to high ground and stay away from the coast as tsunamis can strike in several waves.
Seismologists say the quake was 160 times more powerful than the one that devastated Christchurch last month.

Japanese television has shown pictures of a wall of water kilometres wide moving its way across the countryside, engulfing everything in its path.
The Cosmo oil refinery in Chiba prefecture outside Tokyo has exploded, sending flames dozens of metres into the air, with firefighters unable to contain the inferno.
It is one of more than 40 blazes burning across Japan.
"An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours," the agency said.
A tsunami warning has been issued across the wider Pacific including Russia, the territories of Guam, Taiwan, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii.
Russia has evacuated 11,000 people from areas that could be affected, including Kuril islands and Sakhalin island. Hawaii has also ordered evacuations.

The Bureau of Meteorology says there is no tsunami threat to Australia.

The quake, already considered one of the worst in Japan's history, struck about 382 kilometres north-east of Tokyo at a depth of 24 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.

The USGS reported at least eight strong aftershocks, including a 6.8 quake on the mainland 66 kilometres north-east of Tokyo.

The death toll has already reached 23 and officials say an unknown number of people are missing.

In one incident a woman reportedly died in a building collapse in Takahagi, Ibaraki prefecture.

As the tsunami hit Iwate prefecture harbour, scores of cars and upturned boats smashed into bridges and buildings.

Shinkansen bullet trains stopped when the quake struck, while five nuclear power plants in northern Japan have been shut down.

The government says none of the plants are leaking radiation.

Power has been cut to 4.4 million homes in Tokyo and surrounding areas.

Many people were injured after a roof collapsed at a hall in Tokyo where a graduation ceremony for 600 students was being held, the fire department said.

Narita airport and airstrips in Miyagi prefecture have been closed.

The quake was felt as far away as the Chinese capital of Beijing, 2,500 kilometres to the west, residents said.

Help family, friends

A producer in the ABC's Tokyo office, Yumiko Asada, told PM the tsunami was a mix of soil and rubble.

"It's just swallowing the whole village town which is right next to the river. And I just see this, waves covering the rice fields and cars and homes. It's all being swept away. You just see the whole town turning into rubble in a second," she said.

The government has set up a crisis management team at the prime minister's office.

Prime minister Naoto Kan says the government will do everything possible to minimise the damage.

"The government will put its strength together and work hard in tackling this disaster," he said.

"We ask the people of Japan to act fast and to help one's family and neighbours. We should all help each other to minimise the damage."

The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is trying to determine whether any Australians have been affected by the earthquake or tsunami.

It says Australians who are worried about friends or family in Japan should first attempt to contact them directly.

The Department says if that does not work they can then ring its consular emergency centre on 1300 555 135.

Japan's northeast Pacific coast, called Sanriku, has suffered from quakes and tsunamis in the past and a 7.2 quake struck on Wednesday.

In 1933 a magnitude 8.1 quake in the area killed more than 3,000 people. Last year fishing facilities were damaged after by a tsunami caused by a strong tremor in Chile.

Earthquakes are common in Japan, one of the world's most seismically active areas. The country accounts for about 20 per cent of the world's earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater.

2011-03-07T18:56:00.006+08:00

Aww... basically, this is what me and my Abi did yesterday. It has been a while since we pampered ourselves with trips or jalan-jalan cari makan. Hehe..

so, we decided to head off to Zoo Negara.

well, we didn't exactly plan to visit our furry animals but it was one of the places in our 'Places to go this weekend' list la.. it was either Zoo, Broga Hill or Taman Pertanian Malaysia (aka Bukit Cerakah).

it was really was going to be Broga Hill. But after a certain long-thinking + planning - timing, we conclude that if we wanna go Broga, we should do it on any other day than Sunday. eheheh..

we had such a wonderful time at the zoo. we walk all the way! hehe.

Abi, thanks for the weekend!

SUKOL 2011

2011-03-03T08:15:00.003+08:00

Sukan Antara Kolej (SUKOL) 2011 telah berlangsung pada 11 Februari sampai la 6 Mac nanti..

Majlis perasmian diadakan di Stadium UiTM. AGak gempak jugak lah perasmian die... Katenye, SUKOL terakhir yang dieorg organize adalah 3 tahun yang lepas. So, xtau la knp dieorg baru nk start smule. Anyways, kite join je. hehe

(photos taken from sispauitmalaysia , Suko Teratai's FB and many others... n some of mine )

So, klu nk diikutkan, pada asal nya Rai cuma berminat nak join Ping-Pong dan Bola Tampar je. Tapi tetibe, termasuk Lawn Bowl dan Bola Tampar Pantai. Bola Tampar Pantai tu tak tersengaja masuk. Hehe.

So, first game was Ping Pong. Ping pong berlangsung on the first week of Sukol. Tak tau lah ape nasib Rai kan, tapi sejak masuk ping pong SAF (Sukan Antara Fakulti) semester lepas, berjumpa ngn player MASUM tu jugak. Mesti tergolong dlm kumpulan yang sama. ISh ish.. ntah ape la nasib. Tapi Rai bersyukur dan puas hati coz dulu masa SAF, first time jumpe bdk Masum ni (Nadia kot nama die, am not quite sure), kalah banyak mata la.. Tapi untuk Sukol ni, Rai hampir-hampir nak menang ngn mata 19-25. Best kan? dekat jek. heheheh.. Well, walau ape pon, Rai tetap bersyukur coz Teratai dapat no 3 walaupun tak Johan. heheh.. Tapi kan, Rai rasa sistem permainan pada hari tu agak tidak memuaskan dan tak betul. Untuk semi final, mana boleh group yang sama jumpa balik. Ntah macam mana lah sistem dieorg ni. Ish ISh... Dan sepatutnya, Johan jumpa naib johan, bukan naib johan jumpe naib johan.. Hmm... Ape2 je la.. Huhuhu..

So then, game yang kedua pada minggu kedua Sukol ialah Beach Volley! Yay! Pada masa ni lah saya telah menghitamkan kembali kulit-kulit muka dan tangan. Disebabkan Rai pakai head scarf akan 'anak tudung hiphop' bak kata Mum, muka ku telah berbelang2 dan memancarkan dua tona warna pada kulit yang sama. heheeh Beach volley pun dapat no 3.

The next day plak, Lawn Bowl pulak. Sangat-sangat memenatkan kerana game telah berlangsung dari pukul 8.00am hingga 10.30pm. Penat tau. One whole day of skin baking. hehe

Lawn Bowl masuk final tapi kalah ngn mawar kt final. Dieorg mmg hebat. Tapi malulah kalau dieorg kalah ngn kami coz Rai baru je pegang bowl 3 4 hari je . hehe well, i' m a fast learner! hehe. So, dgn kepenatan yang melampau kami hanya berjaya pulang dengan pingat Naib Johan. Its ok la... its an experience kan? Lagipun, first time men lawn bowl nih...

"Teratai Lawn Bowlers"

"hah, lupe nk btau. team lelaki pun Naib Johan"

So, game yang terakhir untuk saya adalah Bola Tampar. Kami target Johan, tp bleh plak terjumpa player2 Masum n Sukma kt semi final. Adoyai. Dieorg pun nk jumpa kami kat final sebenarnya. Well, ape nk wat, dh takdir.. :)

So, we end up with number 3. Again.. pfft.

"volleyball Teratai"

So, overal I think I had a great time. But it was indeed tiring. Tp ape yang saya dpt simpul kan disini adalah, Urusetia perlu menjalankan tanggungjawab dengan lebih baik. Kebanyakkan sukan yang tidak d

iatur dengan proper. Undang-undang yang digubal x diikut. Kate player MASUM xleh main lebih dr 2 org

, tak di ambil berat pun. Masa x diatur dengan sempurna dn banyak lagi. Xnk la komen banyak-banyak coz m

mg byk pun yg tak memuaskan hati. COntoh nye seperti, kata sukan anata kolej, tp apasal plak non-resident leh plak hantar sampai 2 team. Sukan NR xde plak dieorg ajak kolej2 join kn? Ish ish ish.. ntah la..

Till the next SUKOL! tooodles.

Fitness Test : RUGBY

2011-03-02T20:55:00.004+08:00

As early as 7.30am today we were already running around at the stadium. Some even came earlier than that to set up their stations.

5 fitness test for rugby were stationed today, that is:-

i) 30m standing sprint (anaerobic alactic)

ii) standing broad jump (power)

iii) shuttle run (anaerobic lactic capacity)

iv)illinois agility run (agility)

v)6 min run (aerobic)

and plus other two test which is conducted on separate days. My group got the 1RM Bench Press strength test which we already did the day before today (yesterday lah.. hehe).

Hey, even though it was quite tough and tiring coz we have to finish all the test in ONE day, we still had fun and we did learn a lot.

Like Mr Kee says, the purpose of all of us doing this is because he wants us to know exactly what we are doing. So that later when we are training, coaching or conducting a fitness test, we know what we are testing and people won't laugh at us if we did wrong. hehe.

so, heres some pics courtesy of Miss Rodzilah Takachih.

Enjoy!

"getting ready for the shuttle run which is the exact length of a half rugby field."

"Puden & Mas... Poor Mas, she fainted after the shuttle run. But now she's all good!"

"see there, I was one of the first participant in line one. one word for it : PENAT"

"ikhmar doing press-up. as ikhmar would say it, 'Benda SIMPLE!' "

"and of course. we have to had our pics taken too rite?"

Till the next practical session!

Toodles and wassalam.

The ‘Tiger’ now hids in the Woods : Morals Built or Currupt?

2011-02-17T13:31:00.003+08:00

Anther assignment I have to write about based on Tiger Wood's article. So, here goes...

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Sports nowadays are corrupted by negative values such as dishonest, deceitful, irresponsible and much more. Corruption is the direct opposite of the whole thing for which sport stand. Our sporting idols should be the one who shows positive and good moral values and are expected to be the remedy for all the negative social value and perversions of righteousness imposed on us by other negative surroundings. Whether rain or shine, "sports have immense power to shape consciousness, values, and beliefs of athletes and to pass on selected aspects of the dominant culture"(Sage, 1998). And this brings us to the idea that sports should and has to be a place where positive social values and fair play fosters and blooms.

In the book Sport Ethics: Application for Fair Play (Lumpkin, Stoll, & Beller, 2003), it states that sportsmanship and fair play signifies that one is to play as a good sport and following the moral values of honesty and justice. The player has to be truthful and fair to his or her rival while playing by the set of system and regulations. But does this set of rules being followed these days? For all that we have read in the newspapers or heard it in the television, for most of the elite sportsman, winning is everything and it is nothing if they don’t win. Therefore, they are willing to do anything to achieve the ultimate goal. “The role of achievement motives in determining behavior in sport is readily recognizable, that of values is less obvious. However, if values determine how people justify decisions in life, then they will influence attitudes and behavior in sport” (Lee, Whitehead, Ntoumanis, & Hatzigeorgiadis, 2008).

A recent sport icon has come to mind to be a good example of the relationships of social values; achievements; goal orientation and performance turn bad; that is the renowned American professional golfer, Eldrick Tont “Tiger” Woods. Woods has won 14 professional major golf championships, the second highest of any male player, and 71 PGA Tour events, third all time (Sports, 2010). He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other active golfer, the youngest player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest and fastest to win 50 tournaments on tour. But this star finally came to its gloom when being on the top of the world has made him to loose judgement and make faulty decisions. News starts to leak out swiftly when in November 2009 (News, 2009), a supermarket tabloid published a story claiming that Woods had an extramarital affair with New York City nightclub manager, Rachel Uchitel. Not only that, his multiple infidelities revealed by over a dozen women, through many worldwide media sources and this situation gave a big impact in his career and personal life. A number of sponsorships and business deals cut off their alliance with Woods after the statement revealed. According to Wikipedia (2011), Gillette suspended advertising featuring Woods, and said they would not be hiring him for any public appearances for the company and on December 13, management consultancy firm Accenture completely cut its sponsorship of Woods, stating that the golfer was "no longer the right representative.” On December 8, 2009, Nielsen indicated that advertisers had tentatively suspended TV ads featuring Woods after news of his adulteries emerged. Major sponsors initially pledged support and to retain Woods, but he was suspended by Gillette on December 11, and completely dropped by Accenture on December 13. On December 18, TAG Heuer dropped Woods "for the foreseeable future" from its advertising campaigns, only to then change their home page by December 23 to the statement that "Tag Heuer stands with Tiger Woods".On January 1, 2010, AT&T announced the end of its sponsorship of Woods. On January 4, 2010, Electronic Arts, via the blog of President Peter Moore, stated that they would continue to work with Woods and cited their collaboration on a web-based golf game, Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online. On January 13, General Motors ended a free car loan deal that had been due to end on December 31, 2010 (Wikipedia, 2011).

From the unfortunate events bestowed upon Woods, we can state that there is a relationship between moral values, fair play, sportsmanship and honesty in determining one’s performance and achievements. When you are a famous and well-known sportsperson, all eyes are on you and even the simplest and tiniest mistake you do, the whole world will try to take you down. Sportsperson or stars are supposed to be a role model for the future’s youth. Youth look up on their idol and tries to be just like their superstar. But if these kinds of attitudes and negative values that are shown to our youth today, even bigger corruption are just waiting to pop up. “The value-expressive role of attitudes and achievement goal theory suggest that both values and achievement orientations predict moral attitudes in youth sport. These theories can be integrated to the extent that the prioritizing function of values implies that they should not only prompt the adoption of appropriate attitudes, but also encourage the adoption of achievement orientations that are consistent with underlying values. Furthermore, because values are trans-situational principles that guide behavior and because achievement orientations address behavior only in the achievement domain, values can be considered as antecedents of achievement orientations, and moral attitudes as consequences of both. Thus achievement orientations should mediate the effect of relevant sport values on moral attitudes” (Lee, et al., 2008).

Environment and role modeling plays a crucial role in the development of character through sport. In creating and producing a good moral value, social value and fair play, one should be thought since young. Implementing what is considered the right and good values and planting good sportsmanship can build up a better uncorrupted future in sports. Thinking and reasoning programs, motivation, role models, a supportive environment and a strong moral commitment of the society members, parents, coaches, teachers, students and the media may promote the personality education program to be a success. The program can have a negative or positive impact on athletes depending on what is in their head and how they implement and use it. According to Lee, et al. (2008) because values, mediated by achievement orientations, contribute to the development of pro- and antisocial attitudes in youth sport, both contribute to the paradox that faces sport coaches and teachers, that is, how to develop competition between opponents while also promoting fairness. “Significant others should, we consider, endeavor to encourage young people to strive for personal excellence and competitive success while, at the same time, encouraging fairness and respect for both the rules and those opponents” (Lee, et al., 2008).

Relationships among values, honesty, attitudes and achievement orientations in sport play a crucial role in determining the outcome and performance of an athlete. If we fail to maintain a good prospect of one of the characteristics mentioned, or performance will be affected and even worst, our personal life would get involve. It is strongly believed that sports program has the power to promote the development of good characteristics of oneself if used and implemented accordingly. The key factor lies in oneself, only we can change who we are and we are the ones who determine our own way of life, we choose our own path.
