1) Create my own website & blog - COMPLETED (Read about it here.)
- I'm on fb, twitter, path, foursquare, instagram and what-nots. It's only right to have my own webbie and blog....
2) Climb Mt. Kinabalu
- The highest mountain in Malaysia. It's just there. I gotta climb it.
3) Climb Mt. Tahan
- The highest peak in Peninsular. It's just yelling at me to climb it.
4) Visit 1:1 Gundam in Japan
- Come on... what kind of Gundam fan would I be if I don't visit this?! Pix here.
5) Travel alone (and stay disconnected from the net)
- Originally, it was just 'Travel alone' but with mobile devices and social media nowadays, you are never truly alone. That's right... no fb, no whatsapps, no nothing...
6) Cycle the whole of Langkawi
- My little own Tour d'Langkawi!
7) Go on a road trip on my KTM Duke
- My bike's almost a year old and to date it has less than 200km on it. I literally run more KMs than by bike.... time to turn it around.
8) Volunteer
- What's a list if it doesn't have at least one thing that will benefit other people?
9) Get ripped
- Ever since I met Mr.Beer, we've been inseparable. I even have a monument around my waist to commemorate our relationship. I think it's time to tear it down... but don't worry Mr.Beer - we'll still be friends.
10) Quit smoking
- No explanation needed for this.
11) Join a Gunpla contest and win
- I've got all the tools. Now it's time to pit my skills with the best! What's Gunpla?
12) Shoot a short movie
- One of my childhood ambition was to be a film director. It's time to see if I have what it takes...
13) Read the whole Lord of the Rings books
- I've read The Hobbit but somehow LOTR scares the shit out of me. It's time to grow some balls and head into Mordor...
14) Watch all Best Picture Oscar Winners since 1975
- I need all the help I can get if I'm gonna direct my own movie. Here's the list.
15) Join a war game
- This is another thing I always wanted to do as a kid. Guys and their guns...
16) Bungee Jump
- My balls are shrinking as I get older. Better get this done before before it completely disappears...
17) Rock Climb A Rock
- Not those artificial walls in malls. We are talking about the real deal here... Like these ones.
18) Run the Angkor Wat Half Marathon
- Wat a better a place to run! I am super slow runner so part of the challenge is to finish it within 3 hours (I know, it's a snail's pace)....
19) Play golf
- Not the driving range kind. I'm talking about the one with 19 holes...
20) Go diving. Again.
- Totally love this sport but it's been ages since I've done it. It's time to dance with mermaids again.
21) Go watch Singapore's Formula One Night Race
- McLaren's not doing too well this year but I do hope they'll bounce back and when they do, I'll be cheering them on while chewing my gum!
22) Bake a cake
- After so many years watching cooking shows, I'm sure this will be a piece of, err, cake... as pointed out by a friend, I should add that the cake must be completely edible and will need to pass the taste test. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
23) Paint
- I majored in illustration. The last thing I painted was my room. It's time to bring out the canvasses and paints again.
24) Go on a roller-coaster ride. Again
- Remember my shrinking balls?
25) Ride a Segway
- When it was introduced to the world, it was predicted that it will change the way people commute. I'm sure it's the same people who predicted that AIBO will replace your average lap dogs. Fear not! They are still around and you can actually ride a Segway right here in Malaysia!
26) Appear on TV
- I have seriously no idea how I'm going to this but I hope when I do appear on TV, it's for the right reasons....
27) Visit Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary
- Elephants. You gotta love them. More so if they are orphans. Gonna pop some donations when I get there....
28) Go fishing. Again
- There's a saying: "Work is for people who don't fish". Well, I work so therefore I don't fish anymore. But one of these days when I don't have to work, I'll fish.
29) Go camping with my kid
- As a kid, I love camping and the outdoors. I hope to pass on the bug to my kid. He's a little 'city' right now and I hope roughing it out will do him some good.
30) Go caving
- Not Batu Caves. Some other hole.... somewhere....
31) Finish a triathlon
- I've been telling myself to do this for many years. Swimming is my weakest discipline and will probably need a lot of training. Any tips?
32) Start a vegetable garden
- Go Green! Go Organic! Go plant some kailan....
33) Built a Formula One car
- Yup. Ambitious? Impossible? Not really. I'm talking about this baby.
34) Attend the Songkran Festival in Thailand
- Get wet and wild! Been wanting to do this for ages! What's Songkran?
35) Learn to play an entire song with a guitar
- I have a guitar. It's hanging on the wall, doing nothing. Any easy songs to learn?
36- 40) Open Challenges!
- I'm opening 5 on my lists for any suggestions! Drop me an email or connect with me on facebook. If your suggestions are interesting (and possible to do), I'll take them on!
