2008 was an eventful year for me. The year was a mix of good and bad events. So here is my own list of good, bad and ugly events.
The Good: Physical fitness. Well, this year was certainly a year that was filled with numerous new things for me. I started this year with only one physical fitness goal - to finish the Kinabalu race within the cutoff time. I did not achieve that goal but attempting it pushed my running ability up a few notches. So some achievements for 2008 - attempted Kinabalu Climbathon - first attempt, completed the Quadthlon - my first multi sport event (with skating, swimming, running & cycling), a 30km runway skating event & I completed a full marathon this year in a rather respectable first time timing. Not to mention the numerous mini 10km-15km races that were completed in between these main events. I am definitely a better skater and runner now than when I started 2008. In fact, I am a better distance runner now than I have ever been.
The Bad: Finances. Well I take consolation that a lot of people got hit a lot worse than me on finances. Not that it will do me any good that some bloke down the road lost his fortune but at least I don't feel so dumb for losing my money. For a person who puts a majority of his savings in stocks, the downturn hit me rather bad. It is also not very consoling that I did not have much to begin with. Perhaps, I should take my own advice and buy more stocks, now that stocks in general has become much cheaper.
The Bad 2: Relationship. Last I check, I was still single. I do not understand why girls don't dig me. I am actually normal - a little shy when it comes to dating but a normal human being. And I have a job. In fact I have been single so long I am beginning to wonder if I am gay. Being semi-religious doesn't help the situation either. Too religious for the non-church goer and too 'unreligious' for the church goer. Maybe it's the "do you want to be the mother of my child" pickup line, it only works if you are a Hollywood star (you know I am just kidding about that, right?).
The Ugly: Spirituality. Rather than turning this blog into a confession session, I will just leave it at the fact that my spirituality is hitting rock bottom.
