Coming to a close

In about 13 hours time, we bid farewell to year 2010 and welcome the new year of 2011. That also means my year end holidays are about to end... a bit too quick if you ask me, haha.

This year really flew past and looking back in review, despite having some ups and downs, I wouldn't have it any other way!

I did two Ironman races in a span of just over 9 months this year, both of which I wasn't able to clock a personal best, let alone meet my 11 hour target. However, I achieved a personal best by 7 minutes in an Olympic distance triathlon in Port Dickson and I was over the moon when I completed the Perth Half Marathon in 1:28:33, I never thought it was possible for me to go under 90 minutes.

My relationship with darling Li-Ann took a step further when we got engaged at the end of October. We spent a fair bit of these holidays getting some wedding preparations done, and I must say, despite being a bit anxious of what lies ahead of us, I'm really excited!

Being away from home and being mostly pre-occupied with my passion (obsession?) with triathlon and Ironman races, I try my best to keep in touch with family and friends. I admit, that I still need to work on this and would rethink my priorities for the coming year.

We will be away in Ipoh, 2+ hours drive from Kuala Lumpur, for the next 3 days to attend our friend, Tasha's wedding. Our SLB gang from Perth will be there as well. In the meantime, happy new year everyone!

This is the wedding of the year. From the images that I've seen, it was elegant not just the designs of the church setting and and receptions but through the wedding car you can see it was lavish.
