My life as an Aikidoka~

I hope one day i can flip like that.... =(

Literally, "Aikidoka" means those who practise Aikido. Yes... i'm an Aikidoka =) I started to learn early this year by joining the Aikido Club in UTAR (University Tunku Abdul Rahman) because of my curios about the martial art. So, some of my friends and i joined the club and started to practicing.

So, when the day of first training for the semester comes, me and my friends went for it. We were late, and some of the senior students already doing some warm ups. After warm up, we were to sit on our kneel form, we call it seiza, and the sensei (teacher) walks on the mat and we bow.

Then, sensei call us do kamae (basic standing). At first, me n my friends donno what it is, so we just follow the seniors, and stand like this,



with that standing, sensei want us hold that position for 2 minutes. I thought it would be easy, so i keep my hand up... and after just 30 seconds, my hand started to get tired, and i whispered with my friend,

Me: why are we doing this har?
Friend: donno...

Me: my hand getting tired...
Friend: me too...

Me: Knees aching... Muscle tensing... Finger numbing...
Seniors: Shhhhhhhhhhhh.......
Sensei: (laugh out loud)

So after that, we learn kihon dosa, 6 basic movement of Yoshinkan Aikido. From the 6 basic movement, it can convert to 150 basic techniques. From the 150 different basic techniques, it can become 3000+ combination techniques.... man... this is long long journey for me -_-"

After back home, i can't control myself locking my other house mates' hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder because it's already a habit and i need to learn how the techniques work, so,

Me: Hui Jin... come here a while...
Hui Jin (My roommate): (walk towards me) what?

Me: (lock his wrist...)
Hui Jin: Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me: ok... thanks...
Hui Jin: what the ........ !!!!!!!!!!!!

haha! Now, all my house mates and friends scare of me when i put my hand on them... =)

That's how i've began my Aikido life, now i'm already learn it for almost a year, and the route to my black belt is only half way. There's still many things to be learn, many things to be tell, many things to be watch, i hope i won't give up with it because i really love this martial art and my dojo's family. Osu!!!


Guess where am i! hehe... 4th person standing from the right.

Just finish my exam~


Sorry guys for not updating these recent days because i'm having my final exam for this semester. So, need to study and study and study.... because i need to get back to my 2nd upper class degree. >_<

My exam went smooth but still don't know will be smooth like what i estimated, hope it goes well when the lecturers marking the papers (God... i beg you....please...help me...) So, pray for me.....

I always had my last minutes revision before the testing day, i seldom touch the notes until the exam dates are 1 day before the exam. Haih... hope i can change my lazy temper next semester and try to attend the classes next semester. Not only that, i need to do revision often because i don't want my friends say i was lucky because i got them to sign for my attendance, if not.. i'll be banned from exam -_-" i will try to get rid this bad attitude of mine just for the sake of my CGPA haha!

Enough for now.... i'll have more time to blog more after these day. Ciao!!

The Beginning of My Blog~

Hi, Sorry for waiting so long to start writing in this blog because i totally donno how to start this kind of stuff. =) i donno want to write what about my life, there's too many like: my simple and bored life that repeating the same old things that a usual person had =p , my aikido life, my love story, or even my stupid and embarrass things that happened to me~ haha! I will try to update and blog more about my life in this blog, hopefully all of them.

Actually i blogged before in another forum few years ago (don't remember when already, cos it's a very very old time, i think 5 or 6 years ago), that's the 1st time i'm introduced in such a fun and interesting thing. At 1st, i thought it was like a diary "thingy" that invented for internet user, but later on i found it very different with diary, because Diary usually doesn't let other people except the writer him or herself to see or memorize the things happened in their life each day. But, Blog is different, everybody that surf internet can read through your post, and comment to your blog. Even some blogs can drag flames from people around the world and even get "sued" from the Government or the political sector. Haha! That's kinda funny to me cos i thought blog is to allow us to freely point out our view and opinion to certain issue that happening in country and around the world. There's no wrong to shout out freely with our view, everybody have the right to talk in this world, even newborn baby also have the right to "ahh ahh ahh" although we donno what they talking about. (Maybe they already want to shout out their opinion haha!)

Nah... I not saying that i'm going to flame the political section or what, just commenting my opinion about some issue that happened like the famous NAMEWEE case. But, if i got something to say it i sure wont hesitate to say it, so maybe you see my face, on the newspaper in the future?????? (Hear 1st ah... haha!)

Hmm... I wonder why myself want to start blog back after so much years, me myself also do not know. Just few months ago when i start watch some famous Malaysian Blog, especially KennySia.com , i amazed myself that i had the time to read all of his post during my mid-term examination that will determine my CGPA to reach back 3.00!! but luckily, my coursework mark still OK thanks to my helpful classmates that always helped me on my attendance =) and teach me those lessons that taught in the lectures i didn't attended (actually.... it's me donwan go only cos always woke up late. hehe =p) So, it inspired me to start blogging again. So, i've created this blog to start blogging, but i hit a dead end... i donno how to begin... i'm sure lot of bloggers also had a harsh time on beginning. If stop then it will be the end of the blog (man... just a few minutes to create and to end a blog >_<), that's why after created i totally stopped cos can't think of one thing to write about.

And then passed another 2 months after my blog created, adding a chatbox on the sidebar but without any post... but why i'm blogging now? just a few minutes ago, i think just "cincai" (simply) write something and post it up, and write har write har.... already 4th paragraph >_<" hmm... i think this is a good start for this blog... anyway, now i'm just lacking a digital camera to take my life photos (or the photos of my life?... same meaning...) so after i have it, it will be more photos coming to this blog. i think i'm gonna stop here, cos i need start study for my exam coming next tuesday. I will try post more on this blog and keep the blog alive. Ciao!!!
