    Hey all, thought I'd start entering this forum by posting in the... *gasp* introductions section. So... a little about myself.

    I'm a student, currently in my senior year at the University of Arizona. Majors are molecular and cellular biology and computer science and my minors are music, Chinese, and chemistry; so if any of you are into any of those things I'll gladly chit chat with you about them. ^.^

    I'm 20 years old, been playing badminton for about 5 months total now (started playing consistently this semester). My parents are the ones who got me into it, since they thought I was getting too fat. I guess all that ping pong I played wasn't enough of a workout. :D My dad's been playing badminton for a long time now while my mom and I are pretty newbie at it. I'm just a typical club player, but I've met a lot of fun people and had a lot of good times playing so far for these past few months. I've actually been following this forum for awhile now, but I tend to be a ghost on forums I check since I never post. I guess I got bored, and since I'm not going home this spring break (this week), I decided I'd stop by and post in here. There seem to be a lot of easy-going fun people who love badminton like me, and people who might be able to help me get that Cab20 I've been looking for to make it worth my while. :p

    Umm... my favorite badminton player is Xia Xuanze. I've also been a competitive (trying to stay away from the word professional) computer gamer for the past few years. And I think I've ran out of stuff to say since my brain is fried since it's 3:30 in the morning, not to mention this post probably sounds really dull so I'll shut up now. So... HI EVERYONE ^^

    Hey Fin,

    For a sleep-deprived multi-major student, you sound pretty lucid at this hour:) Welcome to BF.com! Glad to finally hear from you. Yeah, keep up regular with baddy, eventually it'll slim you down... it's the nature of the game. As for the CAB20, you're in for a treat... it's coming back in some regions, perhaps Yonex might find it in their heart to release it in the US market. In the mean time, keep tabs on the forum, you might find the relevent information to hook you up with one.

    BTW, how's the weather in Arizona right now?

    haha Ming, my name isn't actually Fin. It's Chao. Fin is just "end" in French. ^^

    Thanks for the welcomes everyone. People here are all so friendly. It's good to know they're coming back out with the Cab20. I've been wanting to try it since I'm using a Cab21 at the moment, and for me those are probably the two "classic" rackets.

    As for the weather here, it just got hot. It's been around 80 with the high at 90, whereas like 4 days ago the highs were 70. I have no idea what happened... but it's Arizona so I'm used to it. I'm just dreading the days when it's going to be 115 or so.

    That's right, Bobo. Quit worrying about how you look and start looking for ways to make obscene loads of moolah. Chicks dig 'em:D. BTW, Hiphop is constantly looking for the next Eminem. Could you be the 'Next One':D?
