2010

Like last year, I'm gonna sum up the things I managed to do in 2010.

If I thought being 23 wasn't all that fun, being 24 was pretty awesome. It started out extremely amazing, had a couple of lows in between the months, but it generally stayed quite cool throughout the year.

In 2010...

I started to train people on a freelance basis. My first client was Kenneth.

I went to 2 waterfalls

I went camping again

I won a grand from one night marathon in Putrajaya

I stayed with a Hong Kong family, ate heaps of fu qua, spoke more than 10 sentences of Cantonese in a day, and learned how to make buns

I bought a new car, crashed it, profited from insurance claims, and bought another car.

I did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing wearing cheap as $20 boots which almost severed my ankles

I got myself a tattoo

I hiked up Mount Ruapehu and experienced a snow blizzard, albeit a mini one

I got soaked in the rain and mud at the International Rainforest Music Festival in Miri, Sarawak

I failed my first university subject

I did another sprint triathlon after a 2 year long hiatus

I did 3 weeks of Bootcamp

I got a new phone and is now a big fan of the wonderful world of smart phones

I played fireworks on Guy Fawkes Day

I lived with 2 French girls, a German guy and a Japanese guy

I cooked dinner for 13 relatives who visited me in Auckland

I ran another marathon personal best!

I traveled to another country by myself and couch surfed!

I traveled around the South Island of New Zealand with my family and loved it

I bungy jumped from 134m above the ground!

I obtained my first major injury i.e. plantar fasciitis

I became a Bootcamp physical instructor

I got my picture up on the wall in a gym in Auckland

I learn to let go

The end of 2010 was marred by the break up. A year ago, I was falling madly in love again with the same boy I had been in love with for the past 3 years. Today, I love him no less. I am still learning to let go. I guess time will heal the wounds, and with a new year, comes a new breath of life. Let's hope 2011 brings me the happiness I seek.

Happy new year, peeps!
