My New Interest

Recently , I'm really enjoy watching mixed martial art ( MMA ). Maybe most of you probably never heard about it before ?

What is MMA ?
It is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting technique which included the usage of striking and grappling skills , both while standing and on the ground. So , MMA allows fighters from different fighting backgrounds to compete but with certain rules such as biting , eye-gouging , strike to groin , fish-hooking and small joint manipulation are banned.

What's so interesting about it ?
In MMA , a martial artist must cross train in a variety of styles in order to counter their opponent's strength. If he is focus on a particular aspect of style , it is almost imposible for him to overcome another fighter which have perfertly mastered different styles. For instance , a stand-up fighter has least chance to defeat a submission fighter who has trained in takedown (grappling) or they have greater chance to end up with severe injury. So , MMA matches are usually nasty and barbaric. ( Exciting )
















A submission fighter will easily overcome stand-up fighter such as boxer , muay thai or karate which more focus on striking techniques.




















A stand-up fighter is unable to compete with martial artist which is excel in ground fighting.




















MMA can be brutal and bloody as shown as above if you 're not a well-around fighter or even turned up like this.











What is stand-up fighting ?
A stand-up fighter is usually excel in striking techniques such as punching , kicking , kneeing , elbowing and footwork. The combatants are more adapting in hand-to-hand combat which takes place while they 're in standing position. They are more proficient when they're at punching and kicking distance but extremely weak at clinching zone as they couldn't throw their punches or swing their kick properly. Boxing , muay thai , full-contact karate and taekwando are popular types of stand-up fighting.

Cliching fighting is a part of stand-up fighting where the fighters are grappling in a clinch , usually using a clinch hold. Though clinching , the user is able to eliminate the usage of striking skills and can be used to switch from stand-up fighting into ground fighting by using sweep kicks , throws and takedowns. Sometimes , submission techniques can be applied effectively from the clinch without engaging a ground fighting. Judo , sambo and wrestling are examples of combat sport which greatly emphasized on clinching.













































Guillotine choke is the most well-known submission hold which turned out to be an extremely effective way to defeat opponent.

Ground fighting is a type of nasty hand-to-hand combat which takes place while the combatants are on the ground, generally involving a degree of grappling. Ground fighting experts will easily overpower their opponent by using grappling hold. Brazillian Jiu jit su (BJJ) is one of the most ideal ground fighting which utilizing ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint locks and chokeholds. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somehow negated when grappling on the ground.
















So far I think BJJ is the most interesting combat sport as smaller and weaker guy can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger fighter by using leverage and proper technique by grappling.

Striking on the ground is also an important aspect of ground fighting. Typically , a top position is better for various strikes than a bottom position , simply because the combatant in the top position can generate the distance and movement needed for effective strikes, while the bottom combatant is restricted by the ground and by the combatant on top.




Hmmm.... I think it is enough for me to write such a long post about MMA and most of you are probably feel bored. Me too...... but anyways hope all of you would enjoy this combat sport.

I was on a horrible bad luck spree

I just had really bad luck yesterday ...... I was quite disappointed with my previous company and I met a horrible family. I spent half an hour to do a simple demonstration because they were not satisfied and they kept asking me a lot of questions. Yeah ! Stupid questions.

'' Can I adjust the brightness of this computerized dictionary ? ''
I replied them whether if the brightness setting was not bright enough or you prefer other brighter theme?
'' No ...... I'm just asking. ''

WTF ! Then , they kept asking a lot of weird questions until they felt satisfied.( around 30 minutes )
''Can I write the chinese character on the screen ? '' ( Hey ! Do you know what the meaning of touchscreen. )

I asked them whether they prefer to purchase by cash or credit card. They said by credit card.
'' Hmm..... Ok ! '' ( I did as usual and inserted the card into the machine)
However ...

'' Didi...... '' and that card was declined. ''
'' Sorry ! your card was declined.Do you have another card or you can pay by cash ? ''
'' This is my only card. Maybe your machine got problem.'' His wife started to provoke me and asking me whether you know how to use the machine.

His wife asked me to try again and again. ( I think I had tried over 20 times until he finally willing to pick up his Nokia 5800 and telephoned the bank. I didn't know about their conversation and just hoping my bad night could end soon. )

'' Sorry ah ! I forgot I just paid the debt this morning so I only can use my card tomorrow. ''
'' Ok Sir ... I help you to keep your dictionary first and you can come here tomorrow yo get it when your card can be used. ''
'' No ...... I take it back first and I come back to pay tomorrow.'' ( WTF ? You thought our company are charity or you thought I am that stupid until to give you an item over RM 1500 before you pay. )

After they failed to convince me to give them the dictionary , they went away and I sat down with a sigh of relief. Phew ...... What a troublesome family and I hope I would never meet this kind of customer again.
Suddenly , the man came back and he asked me whether he could paid by cheque. WTF ? He again......

'' Sorry ! Our company do not accept cheque.'' Now , he really went back and I finally could breathed a sigh of relief. Then , I went to San Francisco Coffee to buy a slice of cheese cake because all cakes were deducted 50 % at night. RM 7.95 for the cake was out of my expectation as I didn't knew that the promotion was not valid on that night. I wanted to save my money but the barista at SF Coffee already packed up the cake and gave me a ''wicked '' smile so I had being forced to buy it. What a bad day for me ?

However , my bad luck spree hadn't ended yet. That customer came today before 10 a.m. and he telephoned my boss and said there was nobody at my counter. That meant he told the boss that I was late to work. WTF ! Why you came so early ? Of course there was no people at the counter because our business hour started from 10.00 a.m. but you came around 9.50 a.m. Damn ! Why there was such an asshole appear on this world ? Even you are a customer but I think you should respect the promoter that serve you. Now , I 'm just hope my bad luck would ended as soon as possible. I felt want to hit that bastard so hard just like Manny Pacquiao did to his opponent.

Sorry for the violence photos but I do enjoy watching boxing and I 'm really want to release my anger.

What a fxxking day

Today , I went to work as usual and I was satisfied with my early sale. I managed to sell a product in the morning so I felt delighted over my performance. I thought today was going to be a pleasant day until I received my salary from my previous company. I was shocked and frustrated as my half-month salary only just RM 35.25. What happened ? Even a housemaid 's salary was higher than me. My salary equaled to RM 35.25 /12 = RM 2.94 per day while I worked from 10 a.m. till 10 p.m. So that meant my salary for an hour was RM 0.29.

WTF ? Could you all imagine that 29 cent for an hour ? This was totally bullshit and I was freaking annoyed with that company. I hope they would give me a good explanation while I hadn't get my paid slip. However , I felt glad that I made a right decision as I resigned at the end of February. Nothing would erase my anger except......

I wish I could throw a powerful left hook towards her face until her jaw broken. I was pretty pissed off . So , I was prepared to play Fight Night Round 4 tonight.

Another good new was LeBron James led the Cavaliers to defeat King with the return of Big Z and they were the best team in the league. (58 Wins 16 Loss) That 's all for today.

My recent life

Why must the good times past so fast ? In a blink of an eye , almost all of my friends are gone. They started their new life in university while I 'm still work as a part-time promoter at Besta. I have been pretty god damn bored lately. ( Except when I having my gaming session after I am back from my boring job. )

I started to work on 1st January but I worked with another company ~ Lea Sport at Parkson. I 'm pretty frustrated with my former supervisor. Well ... What happened ? She lured me to work there. She told me that my basic salary around RM 560 without commission. After I worked for a month , I found out my supervisor cheated me as my company deducted my salary. WTF ! They simply deducted my salary while I haven't filled the EPF form. So , I only earned RM 507.75 in a month and I discovered my company did not pay workers for overtime. WTH ! I 'm pissed off because she did not tell me the truth. So , I 'm became an '' aggressive'' promoter and I kept competing with other promoters for sale. Well ... I 'm sure that they were damn pissed as my total sale was RM 18916.77. Did I tell you most of my product only cost RM29.90 - RM 59.90? Ha...... ! Then , I resigned and worked at Besta.

For the past three months , I had spent a lot of money on buying things. I bought a watch , a pair of sandals and 3 games. This was the only benefit that I gain through working. Working was really important as I could use my salary without any restriction. I will keep doing my part time job till next month. Haiz......
