What is fun/enjoyable to experience?
If you talk of aware/experiencing that usually implies not putting judgment on that which is happening otherwise that's not being aware - that's being judgmental. And as such being aware is not the same as judging something as fun. Being aware/experiencing of "what is" has a deep joy to it no matter what the appearance of "what is" is. supposedly.

At one level you have judgment of what is to try to find things or activities that the personality likes to be doing. That kind of fun will come and go and also sets one up to be down when there isn't anything fun going on.

At another level, one can see all experience as exactly what is desired and fulfilling as it is. Taking out the trash can be a full activity and "fun" in a way, if there is the perspective of every moment being perfect and full of life already. I think at this level judgment goes away and there is no need to look for fun but paradoxically the joy and freedom and non-judgmental way of going is a fun way to be.
