My hobbies

What are my hobbies? Well, I have lot's of hobbies.
One of them is playing on piano. I graduated the Children's school of  art based on the piano specialization(1997-2004). After that I worked as a concertmaster(2004-2005), accompanying children on the piano and participating together in annual concerts. I also love composing. Hence, I took the course "Special Lectures on Art< Music Analysis & Composition II>"(fall semester, 2009) at KAIST  and learned about the basic skills of composing. In the final exam we had to compose the music, based on the special rules and I did it with all my pleasure. Here is the link to one of my composed music, which I named as "Imagination": Imagination. I hope to successfully graduate KAIST soon(January, 2011)  and start doing Masters in Graduate School of Culture and Technology, AIM(Audio-Interactive Media) Lab, which I believe is also related to music as well.
I also love sports, especually practicing Taekwondo(WTF). I've been practicing for more that 10 years from my high school years(practicing professionally) up to now. I got 2 times gold medal in republican championships(May,2004; July, 2005) and participated in some international competitions such as Match Meeting of  Tajikistan vs. Afghanistan (representing my country) and in the match meeting dedicated to the decade anniversary of the ascertainment of diplomatic relations between the republic of Tajikistan and the republic of Kazakhstan in 2003(2nd place). When I came to Korea, I continued practicing Taekwondo and got the second place in Daejeon Competition(July,2007), got the second place in South Korean Championship among the students(November,2007). Currently, I am the owner of the black belt (the second dan), planning to take test on March, 2011 for getting the 3rd dan.
One of the other sports I love is soccer.Hence, I joined KAIST Internationals Football Club. Currently we are participating in Hurricane Cup(KAIST) and doing not bad(we are in Quarter-finals).
I also like swimming, that's why I took a swimming class to get 2AU, which is mandatory for graduation in KAIST.
In my free times I like playing chess, table tennis, billiards, reading books, listening to the music. 
One thing that I try to stay far away from is playing computer games(even though it attracts me a lot), because I think that it's nothing but wasting, killing the precious time.

  3. #Ling: I would love to combine all my skills, which I got through my work, academic and other experiences and make something to contribute society. It's not my dream, but goal.
    Thank you that you support my plans.
    #daysindaejeon: I was even more surprised after coming to KAIST and realizing that they are so many talented students in music after taking the course "Music Composition". I was kind of shocked( :) ) when I came to know that there is the AIM lab in KAIST. Thank you that you liked my song. I should work more on it~^^.
    Thanks for the comments.
