The adventurous side of me

I equate adventure with risk or naughtiness. And a typical good-girl, risk-averse person like me is obviously always reluctant to doing adventurous activities, activities that are not normal or common in my pretty neat little world. But from time to time I stop myself from being too careful (or too fearful?) and take risks and enjoy some adventure.

What risky activities have I done in the past? Ahhh, very few...Let's see:

1. I went para-sailing in Thailand. This was really fun. I have fears of height but I conquered that fear by deciding to go up there in the sky and fly like a bird. Would I do it again? Yes I would!
2. I ate crocodile meat - Ewwww! But hey, it was really good. It tastes like chicken, and its meat is white, so yeah, it even looks like chicken meat.
3. Driving long distance on my own - Wooooo, this was something I did not think I could do. Driving long distance with friends, yes... But on my own? Uh-oohh! But I did it! And I was proud of myself, I still am, lol.
4. Zipline riding - Wohoo, this I'd say is one fun-thrill activity that I first thought was really scary. So yeah, I guess I have partially conquered my fear of heights.
5. Binge drinking - This is really something I won't forget. We had an out-of-town planning/meeting but the night before the meeting, my colleagues and I decided to go out for a drinking spree. I went back to the hotel so intoxicated, I was sick and vomiting like crazy. I was so worried I would not be able to join the meeting the following day. Haaah, it felt so bad. It never happened again, though. I still drink occasionally, and never to the point of collapse, hehehe. I have children to protect, you know, lol.

These are the out-of-the-normal activities at the top of my head right now, hmmmm... five? I can only come up with five? Heller, very few indeed!

There is one thing I'd call a really big adventure that I thought I would do in July or August this year - but I guess, it's not going to happen anymore. I thought it is something that might be good for me and I really looked forward to it. But things happen and I don't argue with nature. Things happen for a reason and if I plan it and it doesn't happen, then it's not meant to happen.

Anyway, here are some adventurous activities I intend to try in the future:

1. Water adventures (water balling, water rafting, jet skiing, diving, wake-boarding, etc)
2. Sky adventures (hot air balloon, paragliding, skydiving?)
3. Travel abroad, alone
