KICK 08 - 24 hrs Non-stop Endurance Fitness Kickboxing Challenge

Okay, I'm here to do a personal favour for a friend, Thai Boxing Girl who has been into Kickboxing for sometime... This time, she and her other 7 mates are so determined to set a Malaysian Book of Records at least and to RAISE some fund for Breast Cancer Welfare Association. Please give them your warmest support and/or help to raise the fund.

Below is a note from Thai Boxing Girl:

*************************************************************************************
Dear Friends,

This August, me and my team-mate - 8 females, will be attempting a 24 hours non-stop endurance fitness kickboxing challenge for entry into the Malaysian Book of Records (MBOR) and possibly the GUINNESS World Book of Records, to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Welfare Association.

The event is K!CK! 2008, formerly known as the "Jak Othman Kickboxing Challenge", a community-driven initiative spear-headed by the sole-proprietor establishment Jak Othman Kickboxing Studio introduced in 2004.

Objective is to to educate the public, especially our youths and ladies, the importance of engaging in intriguing and fun sports, such as fitness kickboxing, for a healthier and fulfilling lifestyle, while learning an effective self-defence technique.

Our team is made up of our youngest member, a 13 Secondary One student to our oldest member, a 30 years old working Mother (ME!!!), to challenge the 'impossible mission' of executing 57,200 kicks within 24 hours (average of 40 kicks/min) to break a new record in the books.

While, we, the determined and sporty ladies are pushing our physical limits and mental strengths to a new level, we are also targeting to raise RM25,000 for Breast Cancer Welfare Association, our Official Beneficiary, in support of its advocacy work.

As such, I would like to request for your support (media, corporate, or individual), via the following:

1. Pledge-A-Kick - Pledge RM10 for every kick our team-members will be kicking!

2. Public donation at event - one will receive a "KICK START" guidebook that provides basic crime awareness tips and defence techniques illustration for quick releases from offenders.

3. Pre-event media coverage to create awareness amongst the public and drive crowd to the event on:

Date: 29th & 30th August 2008 (Friday & Saturday)
Time: 10am (29th Aug) to 2pm (30th Aug)
Venue: To be confirmed

Proposed Interview Angle:

An inspirational article to motivate youths and females to persevere in times of challenges, be it personal or professional, as well as creating awareness for Kickboxing as a form of effective self-defence sport.

On behalf of my team, we hope we can receive kind assistance from everyone to contribute to this charitable cause.

For further information and assistance, please contact me at xhosa29@yahoo.com.


Thank you.
Thai Boxing Mama

Corbis Futsal Cup 2008

Usually during weekends, I will just spend my time watching DVDs at home... ya, I'm so lazy that I will just tar pau some food nearby and eat in front of the TV set (very sad huh?! I don't think so...). Last Saturday was a lil bit different! I went to Corbis Futsal Cup 2008 - an inter agency futsal competition by Corbis at Sports Planet, Subang Grand... AT 8.30AM!! Well, just to give "Some Playing Futball Dudes" a lil support.

The "Some Playing Futball Dudes" getting ready

The "Some Playing Futball Dudes" + 1 more on the way - before the battle

This is my 1st time attending this event and it's also the first time "Some Playing Futball Dudes" joined this competition. I was kinda surprised that quite a number of people were already in their "army" suits and preparing to start the "battle". There were a total of 24 teams will be down to the battleground!! Semangat-nya! :D

Met this bubbly girl, Alison from Corbis. She came over to say "Hi", told us to get ourselves registered and wish the team good luck!! Upon registration, each and every of us will get a goodie bag... My breakfast - a pack of Cheezels from the goodie bag...
(p/s: Will update you what's in the goodie bag!)

Soldiers from different "clans" gathered together for briefing session

Briefing session with the referees

Around 10.00AM, the game got started after the briefing session with the referees. "Some Playing Futball Dudes" started their battle with "Ogilvy FC"- Netherlands. It was a very fast game and being the newbies, the boys got a lil "kan cheong" (panic attack) ... Ogilvy FC won with 2 - 0.

"Eh! Where is the bola?! Where?"


"Taaadahhh! See I got the ball! *kick*

While waiting for the 2nd game, the "Commander" came. "So how, boys?!" ask the Commander. His question was answered with smiles from the boys. "Well, fair enough. It's the 1st time and you guys need to start planning and get prepared for next year." "Yes, Sir!" answered the dudes.

The "Commander" & "Some Playing Futball Dudes" watching other teams battling

The battle continued and "Some Playing Futball Dudes" VS "LBFC". The "Some Playing Futball Dudes" labeled "LBFC as das Deutschland as they are kinda strong team. Same like Ogilvy FC, they have been training as a team consistently... In the end, "Some Playing Futball Dudes" lost to "LBFC" das Deutschland by 3 - 0. The dudes will need to catch up and get the balls kicking.

Hahhh... you wanna score goal? I wanna block you!! :)


Hahaha... Resting or getting ready to kick their balls?! ;P

Observing and waiting for their last round against "The Misfits"

Last but not least, "Some Playing Futball Dudes" VS "The Misfits" le France. Well after losing the first 2 games, "Some Playing Futball Dudes" finally went in with "TODAY WE'LL DIE IN HELL" spirit - from the movie 300. Hahaha... well seriously, they played better and won by 2 - 0.

The dudes playing some strategies to keep the enemy away!


"Wahhh!! Don't pray pray!! We need to score more goals... Now 1 jug not enough!!"

After the the battle to qualify, here come the Cheerleading performance by O&M. Hehe.. Talk less, let the pictures tell you the story... Use your imagination too... Blek!

The O&M Cheerleaders & Ogilvy FC dudes


"1, 2, 3, 4...C'mon and shake with me!" :D


"Come let's make some shape and make them scream!" lolx


Pose, Pose & pose!!! weeee!

After finish watching the qualifying round, I felt hungry still after eating the lunchbox provided, plus a bit sleepy (major factor)... So left around 2ish while others stayed and waited for the result. Saya nak balik tido! (I wanna go home to sleep!)

Buh-bye! :) hehe... no picture of me cos I was the one and only photographer they have!
