Hardcore?
Well I won't speak for Khun Deng (and he probably won't either but there's a reason they call 'em the "quiet professionals"). Naw, Rangers are hardcore, Seals are hardcore, Recon are hardcore...PSYOP? Dude, they paid me to jump out of airplanes. I call that gravy ![]() |

As the old saying goes "there's a fine line between hardcore and stupid!" I'm sure we've all crossed over that line many times in our lives and those of us that have survived

The problem for many of us is telling the difference.

The opportunity for me to meet my friend in person at his office did finally come during a work trip to Singapore a few days ago.
It was such a wonderful experience; I was fortunate enough to see and handle a number of the Rangsang Rias Pusaka Bangsa II -- Keris Competition Winners as the timing was such that I just made it a couple of hours before he and his father were to drive to Johore Bahru and then to Kuala Lumpur to be away for a number of days and also those items only arrived at his shop that very day. Amongst the many other kerises etc that I was so priviledged to see and handle, there were an awesome unduk unduk and a "never seen before" 3-luk Naga Keris Panjang (Penyalang or the Executioner). Unfortunately both these items have prior owners and were at the shop to only be etched or restored. Whilst discussing about the functions of a fairly heavy Sundang, Adni also showed some lightning swordmanship moves and I could feel some air breezing pass me as he was making the moves. For a while I was a little worried that the blade may fly off the handle and pierce into me ![]() Adni at his office ![]() With Adni ![]() With Adni's dad, Pak Hussein ![]() |
