As I was growing up, and discovering new things that intrigued my wondering eyes, I told myself that for once in my life, I'd live without limitations and do all the things I wanted to do, longed to do, was afraid to do... and whatnot before I couldn't do any of them, at all. I also told myself that I wouldn't allow neither fear nor my hesitancy to reveal my basic indisposition. After all, I'd love to have memories I can look back on and go, "Wow, I can't believe I actually did that", anyone would. I'd love to have experiences I can, later on, share with my own children. Memories of the experiences which would make me shed a tear or want to swear never to relive. All in all, experiences I can be proud of myself for having the courage to do.
Gathering each and every thing I want to experience in life, here's my very own bucket list.
For once in my life, I'd like to...
- Travel to each and every continent in the world.
I grew up with a Dad whom has been to almost every country in the world and as I was lucky enough, on some occasions, he'd bring me along. At that time, I was too young to appreciate being somewhere completely different. And so, I'd love to go back to the U.S to revisit Disneyland so that I can go on all the rides I couldn't when I was younger and then when I'm done, it's Universal Studios. Oh, and someday with Prissy, it would be Las Vegas. I also want to travel the whole of Europe. Essentials: The UK, France, Spain, Russia, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, Iceland and Austria. Somewhere else on earth, the North Pole.
- Be in the midst of the wonders of the world.
As the aforementioned, I love traveling. But what is traveling if there isn't any spectacular wonders to see? I want to be at least four inches away from the Great Pyramid of Giza. I want to be in the midst of the Colosseum in Rome. I want to walk the Great Walk of China - or maybe just admire it from afar. I want to walk the pathway that leads me to the Taj Mahal. I want to gaze at the sky and be enclosed by the Aurora Berealis. I want to ride on a horse around the Grand Canyon and act as a cowgirl for a day. I want to walk the icy cold grounds of The North Pole to see the glaciers before my eyes, as well as be in the midst of the Swiss Alps. I want to walk sandy grounds of the most beautiful and vast beaches in the world. And before I stop ranting about the wonders I want to see, I want to swim in the Great Barrier Reef along with all the shoal of fishes. etc etc..
- Face my fears and phobias.
I have way too many phobias, literally. I have a phobia with rodents, most insects and the most biggest phobia is of cats. I don't fear heights, but when it comes to bungee jumping from a bridge or being shot into the sky (Solero Space Shot in Genting), I don't fancy it so much. My heart starts to do somersaults, the feeling of vomiting kicks in. I just don't see why it's fun to get an adrenaline rush by putting one's life in danger, when it would only lead to bad stomach aches and dizziness... But since everyone needs to face their fears sooner or later, I want to pat a cat on the head and not feel inclined to run off even when it's within inches from my radius. I want to jump out of a helicopter with a parachute attached to my back.
- Be a helping hand to those who are less fortunate than I am.
I grew up with parents whom have served the Lord all their life, after having accepted him into their lives, that is. They served in the Children's Ministry and now they are serving in the Hospitality. Not only that, every once in a while, our homefellowship would organize a trip to the
kampung areas and spend some time with the villagers there to spread the word of God and to make them smile again. Without a doubt I had to tag along. Realizing that I'm fortunate enough to come back to a place I can call home, sleep in a comfortable bed, eat good food to fill my tummy with, be surrounded by my loved one's etc etc, I now want to reach out to those who don't have a choice but to not have such luxuries. It's heart-aching to see children who are merely the age of 3 being abused by their own parents, babies whom have been thrown away in the dumpster just like a whole load of crap, children whom are born with HIV Aids and other life-threatening diseases and children whom don't have their very own parents to come home to. Having a change of heart, I'd like to go to Africa and be apart of a campaign which blesses children as well as adults with necessities to keep them healthy and free from life-threatening diseases.
- Achieve my goals and live my dreams.
As I've stated in quite a number of my journal entries, I have 3 ambitions which are becoming
a singer, an editor in a magazine company and a flight-attendant. I know that only one can hold a place in my future, but I was hoping to have the opportunity to make all 3 my reality in a few years to come. I want to be proud of myself for all that I've accomplished and so first of all, I'd like to face my fear of stage-fright and do a solo in front of a huge audience. I would also like to take part in a singing competition and walk away as the winner, at the end of the day. Then, I'd like to be signed on as a solo artist and start making music. As for my career in the magazine world, I'd want to get a diploma/degree in Mass Communication first and once I've achieve that, I'd love the opportunity to write my very own book. There is also another dream of designing my own clothing line but this isn't as prioritize as the
Main 3. But it's still an option. If my sister decides to pursue a career in designing shoes, I'd team up with her and design my own clothing line. I guess we'll see, won't we? Big dreams.
When the time comes, if it's the right time, and if it's with the right person, I'd fall in love. That kind of love won't be puppy love nor the love that only lasts for a few months, but the everlasting kind. The unconditional kind of love. I may not be too sure about the characteristics I'd fall in love with but I suppose the man who's going to be sticking with me for life, would be my best friend. He'd be everything I didn't get out of my past boyfriends. Then when both our hearts are in the right place, I want to get married, give birth to his children and live blissfully in happiness.... In the end, it would be worth it.
P.S - The only way I manage to get through the day and take a step forward each day is by having God as the pilot of my everyday life. With love.
