Kay Kay & TKD Yellow Belt

Date:  Dec 8, 2014

Last month, Kay Kay was promoted to yellow belt.

On that day, he was picked to perform on stage.  

Well, it is not exactly performing.  Rather, they are having their class on the stage @ Millenia Walk.

JH Kim have a ultimate black belt challenge later.  So, they bring the kids up stage and have lessons there.

Well, not all kids are picked.  They did not pick Jay Jay.  

So, Kay Kay was proud to be on stage.

Doing warm out.  With a little bit help.

When Kay Kay is on stage, you can see that he is very well behave.

Punching.

Huh… Huh… Huh … Huh...

He also kick very well when he is on stage.  Of course, there are some audiences there too.

Here he performed the front kick.

Not too bad for a 5 year old.

Here, he performed the side kick.

You can see that he put in efforts in every kick.

Punch and kick.

Side kick.

Lastly, the game.  It is like Indiana Jones.

Of course, they will learn their patterns there too.  

Kay Kay doing his Taeguek 1.  (Yellow belt pattern).

And lastly, teacher thank them for coming up stage.

Sorry Kay Kay.  Daddy and mommy actually lost all the photos for this change belt ceremony.  We will get it from uncle Terrence.

I think the reason is we just change to iPhone6, and the backup are not done correctly and we might deleted some photos on that day.

:(  Wahahahahahaha

Don’t worry, your years yet to come.  Many more change belt ceremony to come.  

Taking Airport Link to MRT (Subway) in Bangkok

Date:  May 21, 2013

Most of the time when I visit Bangkok, I am like fly in fly out, light backpack, no luggage.

So, it is important to schedule meetings and schedule your way to the airport.

Taking Taxi/Limousine will always have a risk, so you always end up reaching the Airport more than 2 hours earlier.

What I did is I take the Airport Link from the airport.  (not the Old Airport).

It is located at the basement, and look for RED SIGN to Makkasan.  RED means EXPRESS.  There are two types of train.  NON-EXPRESS and EXPRESS.

The EXPRESS train is non-stop reaching Makkasan station.  It cost 90Baht to take this express train.  It takes about 15 minutes to reach Makkasan.

The NON-EXPRESS train will stop 4 stops before it reach Makkasan.  I takes about slightly less than 25 minutes to reach Makkasan.  But it cost 4 times cheaper, I think.  That is why I think why the locals don't usually take the express train.  Because it is 4 times more expensive.  As you can see in the picture, The train I am taking around 9 plus at night is almost empty front and back.

The blue color NON-Express train is called City Line Service.

When you reach Makkasan station, the station is huge and empty.

Once you reach Makkasan, there is a 3-5 minutes walk from the station to cross the road to Phetchaburi MRT station.  It is just come out from the building, and then walk to the edge, and cross  the road, and the take escalator down to the MRT station.

Of course, you can pay more to get to Phaya Thai Station (next stop to Makkasan) and there it interconnect with BTS sky train.

Once you are in Phetchaburi MRT, you can reach almost any named hotel destinations that you want to go.  Very convenient, and you know you will not miss your flight by taking the MRT.

So, next time when you are in Bangkok, try this!  

The Big Walk - Very Tired After the Walk...

Date:  Nov 7, 2011

Today is the big walk.  Mommy has gone to US for work.  So, it is me and J & K.

I think it is imporant if we do this once.  And I am sure Jay Jay is proud of the achievement he has done today.  He walked non stop from Vivo City to the finishing line.  As for me, I end up carrying 20KG on my arms going back to the train station.  And I queue up for the water, queue up for the goodie bags, and queue up for the train.  It was very tiring, but all of this is worth it.  We took lots of photos.  We saw Friends there.  It was fun!

I wake at 5:30AM to prepare every thing.  At 6:15AM, I have to wake the kids up "slowly".  By 6:30AM, we were in the car going towards Vivocity.

This is our first WALKaton.  Jay & Kay are very excited.  It is a 4KM walk passing thru the Universal Studio.

Kay trying to find where is the starting point on the map.

The sun just came out not long ago...

OK.  These are our numbers.... 09611, 09610 & Papa's one is 09612.

The weather is going to be fabulous today!

It's Star Cruise.

Nice shot!

Oh... The New Paper or H-Two-O Man with a Universal Studio head is walking too.

Some 18,000 people are gathered here.  As you can see the queue is going back to the vivo city.

OK.  Where is Tony Tan???  Please don't let us wait.  Flag the thing now!

When you have a nice shot of both of them, then, you cannot see the Universal Studio globe.

When you have good clear view of the Universal Studio globe, both the boys are looking at girls.

Oh... they are not looking at girls... is this long hair guy.  The Fortune God.

Kung Fu Panda is out in the street too....

PaPa and Kay Kay at the Castle.

Jay Jay and the castle.

J & K in front of the Castle.

Okay, let's drink lots of water... a bit tired now...

Eh?  What do you know... It's auntie Lyeon, and Uncle Dixon with big Jay and Joe.

HaHaHa... How are you?  Nice to see you here.

Come, let's take a nice photo...

Let me take one shot too...

Big Jay is very tall now...

Big Jay, Jay, Joe and Kay!

We need this big gun to go into the Jurasic Park.

Man created Cylons.  Cylons destroy man.  Boy touch Cylon.

Jay really improved in taking photos... nice!

Jay Jay & Bumble Bee!

Oh Look, it's M&M...

Let's rest for a while.

What kind of walk is this!

Nice shot!  I meant the water behind us.

Wow!  What a nice shot for both Jay & Kay in front of the Merlion.

 

 

It's time for them to play.

They really love the "S"

They still playing the "S".

Seems fun!

Good job guys!  We are almost there!  Keep up the pace.

OK.  It's time for another drink.

People just can't stop walking... so many people...

OK.  Beh tahan liao.  Let's eat!

Finally, we are at the Cool Zone.  Before the water station.

Finally, the finishing line.  4KM + the walk from Vivo city to the starting lane.  And another 1KM walk back to the train station.

It's time to collect the Goodie Bags.

OK.  This is bad.  That means I am going to carry 20+ KG back to the train station.

Don't worry Kay, papa will sent you back safe.  hehe.

Jay & Kay.  Well done!  Here is the reward.  A home cooked Char Siew Noodle.
