Yes Man

Watching Yes Man sort of summed up my entire holiday in Australia and China. Being in these 2 places with friends cause me to experience many first times I wouldn't have experienced if I was travelling alone or with my partner. I had to go beyond my comfort zone and say yes to certain activities. And it has been good.

1) Taking a camel ride through the forest
2) Kayaking to islands to watch seals and penguins
3) Being driven when I am in the car boot
4) Trekking up a very high mountain - Frenchmen's Peak
5) Seen roadkill up close (50cm away)
6) Travel with PLU group
7) Walking in the dark @ King's Park
8) Swimming @ Lucky Bay in Esperance
9) Changing accommodation 9 times in 14 days
10) Climbing up and walking the top of Wave Rock
11) Attending church in Perth
12) Riding on a motorbike for more than 1 minute with mountains in the background with 2 other persons
13) Cycling on double bike on main roads for an hour and a half.
14) Sitting in a goods vehicle (the china type)


On another note. 24 days of being away from Singapore actually does some good in these areas

1) I moisturise my skin every night
2) I take extended baths almost every night
3) I sleep before midnight almost every night
4) I spend more time reading
5) I spend quality time with God
6) Not sms-ing incessantly
7) Not being on the internet
8) Not having to pack my timetable with meet ups and rush from one place to another.

Yes. I am feeling a bit drained from the meet ups and gatherings though not all meet ups drained me, only those where I can't be myself. I have 2 more tonight. Looking forward to Ezer meeting.
