23# Learn to Swim - Dubai (On Going!)

Swimming is one of my life's frustration. I took a swimming lesson one summer when I was a kid, but unfortunately I wasn't able to learn everything when summer ended. I have a talent in holding my breath so I was able to "graduate" when I dived in the pool and crossed the finish line. 

It wasn't until my roommate in Dubai encouraged me to join her swimming lessons at Al Nasr Leisureland when I realized that I need to do this for myself.

On my first day, my first exercise is bubbles with the kids - and the rest is history. Though I learned freestyle, breaststroke & backstroke - I can't truly say I've learned swimming until  I finally learn to tread on water for a long time. The kind of treading were I can do #54 (Jump from a yacht/boat to the open sea without a life vest) on my bucket list.

15# Learn to play Billiards - Abu Dhabi (On Going!)

My two attempts to learn the game. 

After all the angle and collision lessons in my "first" try in Marina Mall, it seems like I'm back in square one when I try to play billiards again at Aloft Hotel. This challenge is still in my bucket list until I truly learn it and manage to win a game.
