Mahjong Mahjang

Today I made the conclusion that Orono is officially crazy... He makes up words that mean nothing and bites your calf when your looking the other way. The phrase Mahjong Mahjang is well known by any one that has graced the 13 Coins gym with there presence due to Orono yelling it out at any moment for no reason what so ever.

In other news, we missed training this morning due to hangovers and sleep ins. Made up for it though with a trip to the Boon store. Its a fun store to get to, either catch the train or a taxi to the main road then pay a Scooter Taxi 10baht (30 cents) for a lift down the alley and then there you are! BOON! Ordered a few pairs of custom shorts for myself and friends. Available next week! Will be posting a few pics of them when I have them. Also on our journeys we swung into FBT, a four story sports good store with reaaaally good prices. Bought a real decent pair of Adidas runners for $35Au. SCORE!!

Shoe Modeling, look at those pins.

After a nice little shop was time for lunch, had my first ever club sandwich. Besides the 45 minute wait for it, it was well decent! Will be having one again!
Quip nap followed by training was in order, so to bed I went! Woke up fresh, quick drink of purple Gatorade and a 45 minute jog. Was a good enough warm up before training. Into some bag work and pad rounds it was. After going with Seanchai's pad holder yesterday, today felt wierd with the new pad holder. Wasn't too keen on it, didn't hold well at all. Kept slamming your foot with the pad, quite painful come the fourth round of five minutes.

Few hundred knees on the bag and into some clinch work with one of the toughest Thai clinchers I'd ever come accross. Think you're doing well, keeping your ground. Come close to dropping him to the canvas and BAM! You're now on your back looking up at him having a laugh after dropping the farang for the 5th time in a row.

Seanchai was no where to be seen today due to heading into the mountains to film for a movie alongside Yodseanklai, Annuwat Keawsamrit and Buakaw. Star studded line up or what. Should be back Thursday. The one following the Wednesday where I'll be in the corner at Rajadam Stadium for Mickey one of the 13 Coins young fighters. 14 years of age and had 106 fights...

And after all this its left me here, sitting on the hotel room floor near the window no where near a seat or TV milking the free wireless next door. Probably won't be and update tomorrow due to being at Raja all night so expect a two for one come Thursday evening!

Peas!
