Reason.

I thought I do something like 100 things to do before I turn 30, and I don't become that age till 2012. It's funny, I started the list back in May, 2008 out of boredom waiting for my friends at the table for our monthly Mexican dinner. Out of my group of friends I tend to be the youngest at these events - they are all in their late 30's or early 40's depends on who you talk to, and I look at each one of them, thinking "he's been to such such," "she's been to there, and here" and "he's done this and that." 

Then I look at my own life, I realised I haven't done much apart from skydiving (Oct 2005 - Euroa, Vic), 5 weeks Europe trip (Oct/Nov 2007) and all the times I've spent volunteering for events that happened in Melbourne: Deaflympics 2005, Commonwealth Games 2006 and Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) 2009 - that's how I felt in my mind.

But in reality I think I have done some things that most people my age haven't had the chance to experience. I also wonder if people of my age have had the oppurtunity to do something equally as interesting or similar to what I've done and how many people under 30 have really done any extraordinary, unusual or special things out there.
