Recent Events...

...that deserve a place in this post and I guess is sufficient to qualify for a post in this unique blog of moi.

Here goes:-

I went for extra aikido practice last Friday. It was at one of the dojos near KL central, so it was more professional lah... Less repeated demonstrations, more action. All the ppl there were more pro than moi so it was kinda paiseh when I had to confess I had only a vague inkling of certain techniques. It was a good thing I went to Wei Han's classes on Thursdays (Rmb the super senior I mentioned? That's him, though technically he is not exactly a super senior from my uni la...) since the sensei taught some of the same techniques so all was not lost for me. Phew~ *Wipes off sweat*

I was the only Sem 1 there, altogether only 4 ppl (including moi) went there. 2 seniors and a postgraduate also in our class and an ignorant girl. Sigh, dunno why the other guys all pulled out in the end. This is another first for me, when the en masse absence of fellow frenz did not deter me from my original goal and I just gritted my teeth and went for it. Hurray for me~ :P

We went for mamak after the class. [Yay, so long didn't go mamak ade! Hope one opens in our uni once FoodA closes down..] The food was not bad, I ordered maggi goring with chicken, and when it came, it was SO LARGE okay!! I wasn't planning on having such a large supper leh...coz recently eat too much junk while studying ma... :'( But it tasted quite good, reasonable price for such a proportion, but a bit expensive (RM5!!) for a certain someone who needs to keep the reins on her budget. Ok, if you didn't get it, that certain someone is no other than moi la. Duh.

We arrived quite late, it was sometime b4 midnight ade.. The guys offered to walk me home. Thks! I wouldn't enjoy walking home during that time!! Wow, was kinda tired after that.

The next day, sat morning, went for my first session of badminton practice with the girls. (I need more exercise ma..) It was a pretty fun and kinda grueling workout. I think aikido sessions gave me better stamina, but it didn't give me enough exercise coz till now, all my 4 limbs are still aching.. :( *Sighs*

I foresee the need for more sessions in the future! Haha, now I am clairvoyant! :P Maybe next week, we girls can go swimming and play more badminton la. Hehe. Though I prefer the former of coz, since it is more cooling!

But seriously, now I see the benefits of regular exercise. It was like after the session, I miraculously felt much better/healthier! Or maybe it could be just due to the placebo effect lah.

Haha. But then either way, it still makes me feel better, which is cool! Yayz!

After badminton practice, I had plans to go watch MI3 with David and the gang. But then multiple factors plagued me like: the practice went on quite late + it was raining heavily + I felt damn tired + my limbs were protesting over sudden overuse + I had to go home alone using a route that I wasn't sure about, so much so that I cancelled on David and the others... Sorry ya!!

I kinda regretted it a bit since everyone seemed to be raving over how good it was. Nah, a lecturer said it wasn't good, right? [Case of sour grapes, anyone? lol]

But at least I used the time to replenish my sleeping debt. I have been depriving myself of sleep while wasting my awake time away. I dunno why, it is just me. Haih.

Well, I think you guys enjoyed your MI3 and your Philharmonic outing too. Seemed so cool. But what to do, money money constraints~ My money seemed to be flowing out of my pocket like water leh. O.o

I think I need some feng shui to help me keep my money in! Haha. J/k. I don't really believe in that sort of feng shui. That is just commercialism by another name. Aikz.

Well, the rest of weekend was spent in trying to study *Imp word here = Trying*, but I made little progress. Sigh, more work spilling into this week. My procrastinator genes must be working overtime!! Haha.

Anyway, went out for dinner with beh and a few batchmates. Beh took us to this kopitiam which was pretty popular. The food was pretty good! We ordered the rice & dishes type of meal. Haven't had those in a while!!

The funny thing that happened here was beh wanted to save money so he decided to order only 3 dishes (god, for 7 ppl okay!) and the auntie taking the order was so damn shocked/fierce when she kinda shouted in Cantonese: What? Three only?! while giving us an incredulous look that we all turned to look at her in surprised faces. I mean, customers had the right to order any amount of dishes they want if they have the ability to pay right? But apparently this lady did not know this... lol.

Anyway, David tried to make amends by adding another dish. I guess that kinda soothed her rattled nerves. Poor her and poor us. The latter is meant literally. Tsk tsk. Well, the total that came was quite reasonable and we had to pay about RM8 each.. Ok-lah, KL standard is like this one lah, where can compare to my hometown = food heaven? Hehe.

And so that was how I spent the weekend. Quite eventful compared to my normal boring ones...

And this coming week totally has the potential to shape up into a hectic but cool one too. Will blog more later lah. Now, kinda tired ade.

Btw, b4 I go, let me clarify, I am blogging on my comp, then I will save the post b4 copying and pasting it into blogspot when I have internet access at uni. So to get the gist of when I am talking about smtg, pls refer to the time and date of each post which will be modified to reflect to when I really blogged, technically.

Okay, ciao for now!
