When life throws you a lemon, make lemonade. I pulled myself together and moved on. I will make the most out of this 2016.

I am bit by bit back into my freediving training with my buddies. And now I am also back to running with my running buddy. It is so impressive that he always survives to tag along my running. I run whatever pace I like and he never complains and yet manages to give me extra push until the end. I also learned about running shoes from my buddy. And one of the best things is he inspires me to be back to my active lifestyle which I left behind during the low season of my life in 2015. And now, I am bit by bit back to the person I was before, cheerful, active, and positive. So, thank you! I wouldn’t have bounced back so fast without you.

I can smell a lot of great exciting things are in the air for this 2016.

Lots of love! Cheers!

 

 

 

My 2015 In A Glance

2015 has passed and yet first month of 2016 will soon pass. So, I decide this is the time to write a review of my 2015.

It was a year full of ups and downs, more downs to ups I have to say, but look at me, I survived it and came out even stronger and better. Someone very dear to my heart departed. On top of it, my very best friend and I had a fight over something I didn’t even understand why or what, it was just a ridiculous argument which ended up not so well. I went on a very stressful and intensive trainings for my freediving competition. I tried so hard to manage my live and to pull myself together. I held the pieces so tightly and I bent so many times so I wouldn’t break. But I have to say that God has been and is and will always be so good to me. Despite all the sorrows, many exciting things happened.

My friend and I went to Bali to shoot the very first underwater 360 video in the world for the World Expo 2015 in Milan. It was such a precious experience and the team was so wonderful. And to top the excitement, I got a very precious Molchanov’s monofin (which will cost me a fortune if I have to buy it by myself) from a dear friend, Kev, the owner of Fusion Freediving. The monofin is super comfy that I barely feel it, like a second tail to my feet. And it has the signatures from the World Champion – Alexey Molchanov and one of my most favourite freedivers, one of the best in the world, GBR very own – Michael Board. What could I ask for more.

And one of the best thing ever happen in my career, I got my own room with a big window and very nice view. I assumed a very interesting role and yet received many good feedbacks. And the new team embrace diversity very well. We respect each other and work efficiently.

Thank you 2014. It has been a very hard year but in the end, all that matter are how well we live our live and move on.

Cheers!

This is to start the very first post of my blog. In bahasa, we call it “pecah telur”. Have so many things to write in my mind, but when it comes to the keyboard I just blank out. So typical. Maybe still need a lot of practices. Well, practices make perfect. 

 Still have to explore all the features in this blog. Think it will be fun and amazing to write down here. Can’t wait till I master it all and start to write nice blogs.
