Blisters... Man I hate them!

So I guess I'm getting a semi flow to this online monologue... Feels good : )

Now buzzing off to more important ventures, namely:

So as you might have read, heard or maybe even dreamt, I have joined the university bouldering(climbing) team so that I will have the skills to both climb and fight(taekwondo)! I suppose I'm just following my childhood dream of becoming a ninja. But thats neither here nor there, for yesterday I had some serious doubts over such possible achievments and if I would ever know the green pastures on the other side of awesomeness.

The thing about mondays practises is that it actually doesnt involve any climbing whatsoever... Instead its all about the physical training(henceforth known as PT), involving 400m intervals, pull-ups, chin-ups(all different kinds of variations on the wall), static chin-ups, and core training! In others words one kick-ass workout :)! Only down side are the blisters, for not only are my feet ridden of the once baby surfaced skin due to our barefoot workout on a 'tennis court' ground in taekwondo, but now my hands will experience the same joy as I climb higher and higher! So in an attempt to become a true man of steel, the goal is to be able to do both taekwondo and bouldering for one practise without getting a single blister on either the hands or the feet! Though a highly uncertain bet against myself as there are soon only 2 months left, do wish me good luck!

Now even though the pain is temporary as far as the blisters are concerned, it does help when you come home and you get to see this thing of beauty which you can let the battle wounds heal in:

Now need to grab school by the horns and study as I'm sitting on the 5th floor of the library! Oh and by the way, I can see Malaysia from here.... gives you a surreal feeling!

All the best and Cheerio
