Project52

I first heard of project52 through a friend on Facebook. Basically it’s meant to be a weekly photo collection for 52 weeks. The idea is that it captures people’s ups and downs and special moments and shares it with others. I liked the idea but unfortunately I’m not a good photographer.

What I do love is good food, sharing it with other people and enjoying the whole experience.  Hence I started my own Project 52.

Instead of photography it would be slightly different…..
Project 52
I will be visiting a new restaurant/bar/café every week for 52 weeks.

I hated going to the same place every time with friends.
Sure we know everything on the menu and we are guaranteed that it would live up to our expectations but it gets boring. I’m a thrill seeker and there’s just something special about discovering a new place to hang, enjoying fine dining and taking the risk of trying something different. Life is short.

For me, I get to
i) Try out new food I’ve never eaten before

ii) Visit new food places I’ve never been to
iii) Enjoy the experience by catching up with old mates and friends
iv) Creating memories throughout the Project 52

I didn’t do it for facebook/instagram likes or whatever social media attention. It’s not about how man Likes or comments, that don’t benefit me. I’m already enjoying what I’m doing.

Unfortunately 52 weeks of dining out has its consequences
i) The extra calories D:
(tastes good? Yeah it tastes like 4 km on the treadmill to me)
Hence to address that I will hit up the gym more…..hopefully
ii) It’s not the cheapest project/hobby

But if I was going to spend money dining out, I might as well try something different.  

At the end of it, I will look back and just say, hey I finished something fun in my life that most people haven’t.  I’ve enjoyed food, shared it people I care about and created wonderful memories which no amount of money can buy.
