The Petronas ad for this year brought tears to my eyes. It reminds me not to take for granted the sacrifices made by my parents to bring me up to what I am today.

Thanks for the little nudge to remind me ..........

My son, Syafie, failed to get any medal in the recent MTA Remaja Championship. It's okay son, I know you tried your best. He has one more chance to try for the medal this weekend. After that, he has to wait till December for the next 2008 Inter-Club Taekwondo Championship end of November.

22nd-24th August, we'll be at Genting Highlands for the IMU Open Taekwondo Championship.

This time around instead of being the photographer, I was appointed as team manager for Koryo Taekwondo club to lead the team to the 28th National Remaja Taekwondo Championship held in Penang.

Guess what? .... we won BIG TIME

Here are some photos of the team celebrating the success of Koryo Taekwondo Club, taking home the Challenge Trophy. We were also the champions of 4 out of the 6 categories in the championship.

Total medal tally by Koryo Taekwondo Club:
