have i really too much free time?

I took up a new hobby just last weekend. Well, that makes it two new hobbies this year. In case you're wondering, i'd just got myself my long awaited digital camera last month. But i thought, can photography keep me occupied all weekend long? Felt that i needed more ommphh into my already boring life. No doubt i was already working out in the gym twice a week, but that was more routine than excitement. And i can't think of anything exciting about going to the gym. So, there i was last week, contemplating on what i could add into my life to make it more fulfilling. And then it struck.

I had always envied children who had the chance to do taekwondo down at the basketball court in the evenings when i was still young. But i never had the chance to do so with the overly protective parents of mine. I could only watch them through my kitchen window. My peers in their white gi, belts of all colors...

Better late than never. I knew i'd to discover what i'd missed all these years. So, there i was on a Saturday evening at this karate dojo sweating and panting. I was one hella fat, obese, unfit, unhealthy uncle there, but i was happy. Finally i could do this. Yearning for this for the past two decades. Undoubtly, most people would think i'm crazy, absurd, or childish for that matter. Embarrassed? No.

For i knew i have probably half a century left in this world. And if i weren't to do it now, do i still have the opportunity the next day?
