I can't believe it's been 8 months since I last posted something. This absolutely must be the lamest blog ever. I keep saying I'll post something tonight and that happens once every 2-3 weeks and now it's been 8 months. Procrastination is an evil diseasse.

Although the last post was about me moving into this house, I actually only just finished unpacking the last few boxes a couple of months ago. In fact, those boxes have been around since I came back from the UK in December 2005. So, again with the procrastinating.

Anyway, a hell of a lot of stuff has happened since my last post. I've photographed a few more weddings (slideshows are HERE), I joined a gym and got a personal trainer, bought myself a cool Cannondale mountain bike (which is severely underutilised), met a lot of old friends from university and college, and last but not least, last week I got diagnosed with scoliosis and a leg length discrepancy.

Overall it has been a superb year so far. 'Cept for the scoliosis thing which is a bummer. All this back pain 'cos my right leg decided to stop growing before the left one. How sucky is that?. So next week I'm getting my custom insoles from the podiatrist and I am also going to have to do some physio too.

I'm slowing down the photography stuff so that I can concentrate more on each client. I've come to the point where I'd rather take more time on each wedding and provide a better service than keep churning out stuff week in week out. This way I can also create more time for my new MISSION.

Got to thinking early this year that I'm going to be turning 30 soon and I haven't really accomplished much or done anything which could be classified as adventurous. So, an idea came to me to celebrate my 30th year by doing stuff I've never done before.

First thing I thought of was to climb Mt. Kinabalu. I heard it isn't a technically difficult climb so I put that on my list. Just need to up my fitness a bit. Which is why I've become a gym addict these past few months.

Next up is to enter a 10KM race. I don't really want to enter just to complete it. I'm sure I can complete it comfortably in like 2 hours or something like that. :-) But i'd really like a decent time. So I've started my training by going running. This is where I discovered that the short leg is causing my body to be out of sync.

Next on the list will be white water rafting. I've never done this and haven't found out anything about it but i'm sure it's doable.

So far, that's three things I'm definitely going to do next year. Have to think of a few more things 'cos 12 months is a long time.

Anyway, I do hope that I can post more stuff more often. But somehow I just find too many other things to do when I get home. Need to get more organised.

Lata.
