lady picture show

(this was from January 6th. 2006) i'm writing this entry, well, trying to write this entry, from the confines of my work cube. it's been a hectic few days at work, plus been busying myself with a few 'extra-curricular' activities. to a point that i forgot that hari raya haji is coming up next week. and since it's most likely going to fall on tuesday, i really don't have any celebrations planned. this is one of the many things that i miss home for. also one of my cousins is getting married on the third day of hari raya. i'm sure it's going to be very festive indeed. hopefully my sister with the fancy sony t-33 digicam would snap some pictures this time!

of the 'extra-curricular' activities that i mentioned earlier.. those include archery and aikido. spent about 700 dollars on a bowtech compound bow and accessories and arrows before new year's. i wasn't planning on it really. but got hooked after a couple of visits to the archery range. it really is therapeutic. and it helps with my focus and concentration as well. plus i'd probably go out elk or deer hunting in fall. now that would be something else!

and i've always been interested in aikido. since high school to be exact (no, not from those cheesy steven segal movies.. well except for 'under siege'). ok.. i've been interested in a lot of other things too, but i figure this is something i can do relative easy, heh. the study of aikido itself involves a lot shinto understanding and influences. this, however, should not be a deterrent to the actual physical and mental practices of it. keep your objectives firmly in sight and it's a great way to (commencing on January 11th. 2006).. hmm.. i kinda lost track of what i wanted to say here.

anyways.. i'm gonna write a brand new entry after this. so, i'm gonna leave this as is. selamat hari raya aidiladha!
