Ah ha, no more stuff about orientation. That's so old news la... :P Anyway, a lot of stuff has been happening and seriously, I dunno where to start la.
For me, after coming to uni, there has been a lot of firsts for me. So why not let me talk about one of them first... :D
Hmm. The first thing that comes to my mind is that I joined the Aikido Club in my uni!! Uber cool, right? In case you didn't know, Aikido is a type of japanese martial art that doesn't require as much brute strength compared to taekwondo but is more aggressive than taichi... Walk the middle path~
Well, for Aikido, [I'm just touching the surface ok] it involves a lot of throwing ppl around, disarming ppl and we also get to do diff types of locks! Muahaha~ We also get to play with diff types of swords later like the boken etc. I'm also buying the Gi, the costume, which looks soooo cool.
It's really really fun and I enjoy my classes!! :D It's twice weekly so it's quite an active club. I think I'm getting better ade...! Anyway, I'm doing it for fitness reasons and self-defense purposes. [As I said, I'm not athletic leh, wanna get fitter ma. Hehe.]
Yesterday, this super-super senior who's really geng taught us how to defend ourselves from rapists!! It's like how to get the rapist off when he's sitting on top of you. Chun man! And I think it will come in handy when anything untoward do happens. Hey, I hvta walk home late at night at times leh. My house quite far summore..
However, as I said earlier, I'm not very athletic, and becoz I'm just starting, I have quite a lot of body aches and bruises from the training sessions. Sigh. But I think I'm getting better since I don't need so many demonstrations to get the hang of it anymore! Yayz!
The seniors there are really nice and it's great fun training with them. And I get to know a lot more ppl too. And they do get 'relatively' rough as they said it's easier to learn if you really feel it... But as I said, I'm toughening. :P Hyak~!
Ok, that's all for now about Aikido. Although it takes up a lot of my time, I feel that it's something worth spending time on...
Pls pray that I'll catch up with my studies soon okay.... Why am I always procastinating....?? My first exam is in like 4 weeks leh. T_T So behind!!
Whatever. Catch you guys later! Got a Dance Welcoming Party later!
Yalah, yalah, I join a ton of clubs la, hey, I gotta find ways to amuse myself in this boring place, don't I? :P

Ah, finally.
Something more normal.
Good to hear you've taken up martial arts. It'll do you some good, even if you you're never forced to put it to use. Trust me on that ;)
Look at the bright side to all these injuries. In harder forms of martial arts, you'd have to control your strength well, or you can hurt your tendons even by just punching air. Pain lasts for weeks.
Anyway, good luck!
Thanks! :D
I'm still aching from my training sessions days ago leh... Sigh, that session was pretty intense.
But I still think it's pretty cool. Yayz!
It's much cheaper compared to learning outside. RM20 a month compared to RM60/month leh. Not bad~!
Seems like a good deal to me too.
