New Year Ahead
So 2007’s over. It’s the first day of 2008, and along with the new year, comes along many new challenges and goals to achieve.
It’s been a busy yet enriching year in 2007. Some of the highlights include being a form teacher for 1 whole year the first time in St Nics, struggling to picking up a new language at my own free time and record-breaking number of flights I’ve taken in a year (6?!!).
But what I’d been most proud of was to have accomplished a feat that I never thought was possible in my 20+ years of life: Enjoying the joy of running, and along with it, swimming and cycling. That includes completing 3 marathons, 2 sprint triathlons, a duathlon and a biathlon. Doesn’t matter that I always ended up as one of the last few participants to complete. The fun is in the preparation itself, and also the satisfaction felt after finishing each event. At least I’m doing something healthy rather than slacking in bed or facing the monitor 24/7.
Will I be able to sustain the interest in these sports in the long run? Will my health in future allow me to continue participating in such strenuous activities? Nobody knows, but I’m glad with what’s happening in my life now, and am appreciating every moment of it.
This year’s resolutions and wishes would be very different from the past’s. But as long as one has a positive outlook on life, nothing can bring him down.
ah… see.. showing off medals huh? hahaha.. and that “record-breaking number of flights”.. humph.. >.
