another new year came. and even lunar new year is almost over.
friends came and went. some stayed, some didnt.
i tot i would do a review of 2010. but i procrastinated. heck i didnt even turn on my laptop not to mention coming to blog. Zzz
i didnt go to much places last year but had some new experiences. more item on my checklist ticked!
tw trip in jan was fun. we managed to find a great local guide who was the boss of the min shu who drove us around hualien, central taiwan and even back to taipei! it was a memorable tw trip.
mount kk trip in may which we booked 6mths in advance went rather smoothly i would say. everyone did a great job. except myself. i didnt make it to the top. it was too tough for me. i was still unprepared. but overall it was an enriching journey and adrenaline-pumping trip. esp the water-rafting it was damn fun! i made some new friends too! but very paiseh to keep troubling the gang. so glad they were so understanding and made me feel very assured and comfortable. thank guys :)
Australia trip in july. my 2nd time to Sydney! this time added melbourne as a destination. great to be able to return to australia and really fortunate to have the opportunity to travel with friends and show them the country i really liked. hopefully it wasnt too bad a journey for them becoz it was really the 1st time i planned my own travel itinerary. very glad we got to great ocean road. before that i was still wondering when i will ever get to see the 12 apostles. so yay! skiing on mount buller was a headache. haha. so tough! keep falling. scary cat me just took the chairlift down lar! so embarassing but till today i secretly think i made the correct choice if not i might have just died on mount buller or ended up with fractures everywhere as i roll down the snowy slopes. what an experience! snow is fun but not when u cant ski!
and 2010 drew to an end. attended some weddings. very happy for my friends esp that of my childhood friend! and oh how time flies. we practially grew up tgt. but now she's married! all grown up! and i am like a little kid who refuses to grow up at times. lol.
and 2011 came. i tried scuba diving! 3hours in the pool with the scuba gear was fun. but i should really learn how to swim 1st in order to be more confident in the waters. the instructor (who was quite cute btw! :D) really had alot of patience with me. so scuba is something i would consider picking up. once i learn my swimming.! it would be really nice to be able to explore the underwater world.
jan 2011, my mum had some a&e episodes. which was very worrying. thank god theres nuthing really wrong with her heart. i pray for good health for both my parents and family. and i shud really start taking care of myself too. less junk food, less late nights, more exercise and more postivity in life.
the very unexpected passing of a friend's mum made me realise that i should really appreciate my family and friends. and live live to its fullest. if not it might be all too late. i mean things are really unpredictable. i will try to treat my family better. refrain from throwing temper and raising my voice at my family members. i will try to spend more time at home. similarly for friends. treasure. cherish. appreciated them for who they are. be true. be forthcoming. be more tactful.
hope the next 10 months of 2011 will be a good one. there will be reunions. there will be farewells as well. there will be tears and smiles. more smiles hopefully!
