Excelsior (which Scotty once sabotaged during the then 'Admiral Kirk's' mission to save and resurrect Spock in Star Trek - The Search for Spock)<BR/><BR/>I recalled touching moments after Captain Kirk thanked Sulu, there was an instruction to decommission Enterprise A. And Spock told Kirk that if he's (100%) human, he would probably respond to the instruction as 'Go to Hell'.<BR/><BR/>But overall, old and new, Star Trek will always be my favourite sci-fi.(not really..it's a sci-fi that may reflect the future)<BR/><BR/>Ok Ok..let's not turn this Silat Melayu blog into a trekkie blog, I know that many pesilats here are wondering "What are you guys TALKING ABOUT??"<BR/><BR/>cheers.<BR/><BR/>p.s. I remember my 'grandmaster' (I think you know who he is) was giving me a dissertation on light/nur and laser attributing to the creation of 'other beings' apart from human. He was also 'briefing' me of temporal theories, quantum physics etc.<BR/><BR/>Suddenly the word and the 'mental picture' of the warp drive and how it works came into my mind. <BR/><BR/>Surprisingly, my 'grandmaster' paused, looked at me and said: <BR/><BR/>"Yes, it's just like what you see on TV!!"<BR/><BR/>I was stunned!! (A crazy idea came to me (besides than thinking he might have read my mind) - Is my grandmaster watching Star Trek??)GLOBAL ABJAD BLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036053882317627682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047080913606410024.post-34700369227892059462008-01-18T10:08:00.000+08:002008-01-18T10:08:00.000+08:00Salam hormat Poknik,I know I'm right on this one. ...Salam hormat Poknik,<BR/><BR/>I know I'm right on this one. The NCC-1701A wasn't commissioned until Star Trek IV.<BR/><BR/>In The Original Series, NCC-1701 was commissioned for a 5 year exploration flight and continued its run right through Star Trek The Motion Picture (when it was outfitted with a new generation warp drive) until Star Trek III when it was due for decommission.<BR/><BR/>However, since Admiral Kirk had by then been involved in breaking so many federation laws, the federation had to demote him to Captain and (because of his stellar service and the fact that he saved Earth from the interstellar killer whales) put him in charge of a brand spanking new starship, the first of its class, the NCC-1701A, also bearing the moniker, Enterprise.<BR/><BR/>I hope this clears up the matter.<BR/><BR/>Salam Star Trek,<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Impression - is the method requiring standard module - e.g. the opponent punches, the person blocks. <BR/><BR/>'Impression' in this sense is 'memorizing'. <BR/><BR/>b. Expression - is the method requiring standard module on serving as reference - <BR/><BR/>i) e.g. the opponent punches, the person blocks followed by counter attack. (the counter attack is not necessarily taught in the module). <BR/><BR/>ii) e.g. why would sandbags be tied on legs while running on the sand by the seaside? - the answer would be probably to train your 'kicks' and 'jumps' much 'lighter' and 'agile' after a while of this gruelling training. <BR/><BR/>It is also a form of leg exercise and would help in 'muscle building'.<BR/><BR/>- thus 'Impression' is actually 'understanding' (why)<BR/><BR/>c) Activation completes the Impression and Expression. It's like learning the silat history and become part of silat life evolution <BR/><BR/>- thus 'Activation' is 'the way of life'.<BR/><BR/>Whether the students like them or not, one factor cannot survive without the other factor complementing it. <BR/><BR/>To become a really good student, he/she must undergo all the 3 phases without skipping any one of them.<BR/><BR/>cont...GLOBAL ABJAD BLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036053882317627682noreply@blogger.com
