#109: Visit the Louvre

2011-10-02T00:14:00.001-07:00

After being traumatised by Berlin's museum island (museumphobia), i thought I could never enjoy a museum ever again. Haha all it took was a visit to the world's greatest museum (in my opinion) to rekindle my love for museums.

#29: Learn to juggle

2011-03-22T16:49:00.000-07:00

I stopped at 0:24 coz i dropped the ball :)

one of my proudest achievements this year. hahaha i guess little things make me happy =)

#81: go to Angkor wat

2011-02-21T13:24:00.000-08:00

A really epic place to visit. it was freaking hot though. hahaha.

# 6: Learn how to scuba-dive

2011-02-21T13:18:00.000-08:00

one of the most breath-taking, heart-stopping experiences of my life. I would recommend that everyone try it at least once in their lives. :)

#91: win minesweeper in expert mode

2011-02-21T13:16:00.000-08:00

#52: Run across a frozen lake

2011-02-20T08:59:00.000-08:00

#134: get an article published in a newspaper

#133: Learn to row

2011-02-19T19:53:00.000-08:00

wasn't very good at it but it was an awesome experience nonetheless :)

#49: visit stonehenge

2011-02-19T19:47:00.000-08:00

quite underwhelming. well, i guess it was just a bunch of rocks. should have kept my expectations lower. the weather was freezing too.

#22: Climb Mt K

2011-02-19T19:44:00.000-08:00

lol. regrettably this is the only picture i have on the peak ;)

At 13,435 ft above sea level, probably one of my (literally) coolest photos.

it was a great climb. the scenery was fantastic and the climb isn't too hard but isn't too easy also. I would highly recommend it :)

#20: climb ben nevis

2011-02-19T19:33:00.000-08:00

team neh neh's epic expedition :)

#25

2011-02-19T19:27:00.000-08:00

White water rafting. oh man, i absolutely love it :)

this pic is probably of a class 2 rapid but it was still fun nonetheless :)

#66: laser tag

2011-02-19T19:24:00.000-08:00

Hey, Barney Stinson, is always talking about it, so I had to try it at least once!

#105: watch a match in camp nou

2011-02-19T19:20:00.000-08:00

Barca v Villarreal

Sitting in my living room watching champions league matches at the wee hours of the morning, I had always dreamt of watching a match at the Nou Camp. FCB, more than just a club!!!

#85: zorb down a hill

2011-02-19T19:14:00.000-08:00

Rolling upside down strapped in a plastic ball filled with water (to give a semi-drowning feeling). EPIC!

#1: Study at Cambridge

2011-02-19T19:11:00.000-08:00

A life long dream achieved. No matter how much I may complain about the workload or what others may perceive us to be (i.e. archaic, elitist, antiquated), it is and probably will remain one of the proudest achievements of my life. :)

#108: Visit a Nazi concentration camp.

2011-02-19T19:05:00.000-08:00

One of the most depressing experiences of my life. a reminder of how dangerous unfettered state power is.

#18: Climb the great wall

2011-02-19T18:59:00.000-08:00

The great wall itself was a bit underwhelming but travelling China with mum will probably be one of my favourite holidays ever.

#17: neuschwanstein castle

2011-02-19T18:55:00.000-08:00

it was as beautiful as I had imagined it to be :)

#62: Learn to punt

2011-02-19T18:51:00.000-08:00

Punting is quite an art. On my first try, I thought to myself that this is just something that i'll never be able to get the hang of. but like most things in life, you'll manage to get the hang of it if you keep a positive attitude and a little bit of practice (Trinity has its own punts which makes practising cheap).

#4: See snow

2011-02-19T18:47:00.000-08:00

#115: Learn to fence

2011-02-19T18:45:00.000-08:00

Fencing is a lot more technical than it looks. it also requires lots of thinking. I decided not to continue it in my third year, as I felt that the restrictions on the amount of practice we were allowed (only once a week since we couldn't fence unsupervised) meant that I wouldn't be able to excel at it (i'm the type of person who is not naturally talented but has needs tons of practice to be good at something). It was a great experience nonetheless.

# 8: Learn to ski

2011-02-19T18:40:00.000-08:00

Skiing was so much fun. went to Val Thores, the highest ski resort in Europe. At first it it took me to get the hang out it but by the end of the trip we were skiing down red slopes. the company was great too, we managed to get an entire room to ourselves. All in all awesome!
