10 of ‘10

Which should be read ten of ten, sounds catchy doesn’t it, hehe. Anyway, I haven been writing the whole year, thought it’d be a good time to start again, by listing down the top 10 things i did for the year, it is the end of the decade, and it juz seems proper to do a review, hehe. so here goes~

1. Joined the Organic Fasting Camp

This camps marks the one thing that I have always had close to my heart, the environment. I started to joined coz I tot it’d be nice since I havent been going to sibu in a long time (end up i went 3 times tis year), but surprisingly I found tat tis is something i wanna do continuously. Reminding myself from time to time what we can do for the environment, how the decisions we make, the food we eat can effect the environment, and how ignorant most people are. It’s still not too late, but I’m not sure how much we can do to help, all the more reminds me that I should enjoy before it’s too late! :-p

2. Joined Level Up Fitness

I started going to gym end of 2009, originally wanted to look good for my bali trip, after tat I found it was so good, I wanted to continue, but my last gym juz couldn’t really motivate me. then early of the year I found LUF, where I spend most of my time at since then. Now gyming is an important part of my life, I’ve met so many new friends there, and some of them became my close friends. This is definitely one of the most important thing tat happened tis year ^^

3. Journey to Beijing & Inner Mongolia, China

It’s been 3 years in a row I travelled with Irene in July, and almost all of them were adventurous. Coincidently, all of them also involved going to high altitude areas and getting me freezing cold especially at nite. It’s summer in China, when the fields in inner mongolia was green, which makes it super nice, but beijing was terribly hot! Nonetheless, it was a very memorable trip, I’m missing the scenery already >___<

4. Open Water Diver License

I’m now proudly an open water diver ^^ The hardest part of the course was actually getting thru the swim test, coz i’m not a very good swimmer >__< but thank god I got thru it (barely) and I have to say, diving is an amazing experience!! The underwater is truly a wonderful place, and the trip to Semporna was already a great one by itself. Mabul island is so beautiful, it has officially replaced Redang and became the most beautiful island i’ve been to. I’ll try to utilize my license and dive at least once every year ^^

5. Eat . Shop . Talk @ Bangkok

The trip to Bangkok was a long awaited one, although I have been away from Kuching for too much by the time of the trip, and I was no longer excited about traveling, but I still enjoyed every second of it! We really did nothing but eat, shop and talk, and most of the time (and money) was spent on shopping! Bangkok reminds me so much of KL and Singapore, I din really feel I was at another country at all. One thing for sure, I’ll be bak again soon for my 2nd visit!!

6. 2nd Visit to Bali

There’s juz something about Bali tat keeps bringing me bek, and I would go for the 3rd time again if i could find the time. My first time was juz too brief, it was better the 2nd time around, but there’s still a lot of places I’d like to go. Dolphin watching at Lovina was great, and i manage to suft (barely) at kuta, walking in kuta again feels good too. Bringing so many ppl around was hard, but glad tat everyone enjoyed the trip and had fun ^^

8. Runway Modeling

Well, tis was not really runway modeling, it’s juz a makeup show by a makeup acedemy, and my fren asked me to help out with the modeling, it’s nothing much, but it’s still a nice experience. My first time was really bad, but got better the 2nd time around, still, a little dream come true~

Was much better the second time around, or mayb I’m juz better at being a devil? :-p

9. First High Rope Experience

I was interested but din really plan for it, and it totally came out of the blue after we postponed the 2nd fasting camp in Kuching. I din really tot too much about it, but i was really scared when i was up there, my legs were trembling terribly! Felt good when i finally did it though ^^

10. Left my laptop backpack in the taxi and lost all my data

This was a bad experience and I hope i learnt from it already. Well, the most valuable thing was not the laptop actually, but the data inside! all my writtings, pictures, videos, all gone! T___T and the laptop bag was a gift from cambodia, not to mention my external hard disk, which have my whole collection of movies and mp3s inside! tis was really a sad event, but i guess, everything has to start anew, and sometimes we need to lose something to realize what we really have.

My New Laptop, which is the same model as the old one

Well, i wanted to talk about work actually but it din get to go into the top 10 :-p I lead 4 projects simultaneously during the second half of the year, where all my trips were planned on, n i had a rough time trying to divide my time between work, gym, and trips (and I dun even have a boyfriend yet >___<) but work was going very well, i had a chance to meet with a lot of amazing people and travelled to sibu and penang.

And coz of work, the camp, and all the trips, I’ve taken more than 20 flights tis year, including 3 trips to sibu, 4 trips to penang, 1 trip to KL/Klang, 1 trip to china, 1 trip to bangkok, 1 trip to KK, and 1 tip to bali. So u can easily see y i’m not excited about it anymore :-p

Of coz, tat’s not all, next we have other stuffs tat din get to go on the top 10 list~ (which may be even longer than the top 10 list??? i hope not :-p)

Well, i think tat’s about all I have for 2010, it’s the eve of new year’s eve, I’ll juz blog about tomorrow in a new post, if i can :-p

Overall it’s been a wonderful year, probably except the fact tat I’m still single :-p but tat never stopped me from having fun and enjoying life, and it’s definitely better than rushing into any random relationship. I have to say life has been kind to me, and there’s still a lot of room for improvement of coz.

My new year resolution, as always, is to become a better person. In fact the other day I was thinking, I probably should try to do a few silly things next year and make a complete fool out of myself, tat would probably remind me not to think too big of myself, and never stop trying out new things in life.

Nothing is impossible, so never ever give up. Hopefully by the end of next year I would have more things to fill up the list, and, with a little bit of luck, someone special by my side to fill it up with me ^^

Happy New Year 2011 ^^
