2. Visit the continent of Africa
3. Visit the continent of Antarctica
4. Visit the continent of Australia
5. Visit the continent of North America
6. Visit the continent of South America

8. Bungee Jump
9. Sky Dive
10. Para-glide
11. Base-jumping
12. Learn a form of self-defense (muay thai?)
13. Learn yoga and regain my flexibility (more or less) of the K*i that was in gymnastics in Primary school by the time I'm 50
14. Run a full marathon
15. Run a triathlon
16. Drink coffee in a sidewalk cafe in Paris
17. Take the Trans-Siberia Railway
18. Travel on the Amazon River
19. See the pyramids and sail down the Nile
20. Work overseas for a year or so
21. Stay on a house by the beach for a while
22. Be a beach bum for a while
23. Take a hot air balloon
24. Write a book and publish it
25. Star in something
26. Sing/Act in a stage performance
27. Climb a mountain or 2
28. Earn and save a million dollars
29. Take a cruise around the world
30. smoke shisha in Turkey
31. Visit the Sahara Desert
32. Learn how to wake-board
33. Save the world somehow (still thinking)
34. Swim with dolphins
35. To hold a handstand again
36. See penguins polar bears in the arctic circle
37. See penguins in Antarctica (trivia alert: anti-arctic aka anti-polar bears, n penguins live where there are no polar bears)
38. Go to the Louvre
39. See the Sistine Chapel
40. Take my masters overseas
41. Get my driving licence
so the Bucket list's not completed both in terms of the listing and also in terms of doing everything.
Seems like a good time to continue listing at what feels like another crossroad of my life.
1. Be happy
2. Do something meaningful
3. figure out what i want to do with my life before I'm 27 (so that i can move towards point iv)
4. Have a successful career
5. Visit the Maldives
6. go on a caribbean cruise
7. Buy a K*te Sp*de bag
8. Visit all the ASE*N countries
9. Live on a farm somewhere
10. ...
To be continued... as i was distracted by the below thoughts...
Sometimes, i wonder: if i want to be happy(i), it means spending time doing what i like to do which includes spending more time with my loved ones and all, which means we actually need time to do that. which means the job can't suck the life out of me. BUT if so, this will contradict point iv won't it? after all, a successful career does need a lot of time spent on it, especially in a person's 20s. Yet, if i work all out to achieve it, i'll wake up one day when im 40 and realised my youth is consumed by work. on the same note, how am i even gonna earn/save a million dollars if i want to go travelling so much? so instead of saving up money for investments, i'll end up spending on my trips (incidentally, im planning a trip to USA East coast inc NYC in may this yr). but travel is very different when one is young as oppose to one being at an older age. and again, if working v hard in a demanding career, how to have time to travel extensively? but no work no money. ugh, serious mindfuck here.
I end off with something i watched today that's really really really funny, by an American comedian S*rah Silverm*n:
PS, i don't understand why but my ljcuts aint working. ugh
