Bucket List

Sometimes life is not meaningful and exciting the way it should be... one beautiful morning you wake up, you do not either want to come to work or live the life you’ve been living for many years. I know it's time for some change. And with this blog, I share my list to you. I hope that this list can shake my life up a little, it contains all the things I want to do, to complete, and to accomplish before it's too late, before I turn 30, become a mom, or go to heaven. Whether this list will change my life or not, actually I can never know… The thing I know now is that “I am willing to make this list and do all the things listed”.

My list can change as life goes on…

So here’s the list (update 5th Jun 2019):

1. Learn about wine – Yes, I love wine, and I’d love to learn about them. But I never have time and always procrastinate… Now I know I’d never have time if I always THINK that I don’t. So, now I make it in my list as I know I WANT to do it.
2. Have my own garden – I remember I read somewhere that happiness is simple and doesn’t cost a thing to buy. I love flowers, love the sound of birds singing, love sitting under the shadow of the trees… and I believe I’d be happy then. => Had a veggie garden
3. Visit my dream city – Amsterdam in Holland — You may question why, actually because “Daisy” (2006) is one of my favorite movie, and the movie was filmed in Amsterdam…
4. Fluent in Chinese (update 31st Oct 2011: I am taking an Advanced class in Chinese at university now).
5. Ask a guy I like out – I have always been shy of talking to guys let alone asking someone out. Hah… Putting this on my list I know it’s quite challenging, but as I’ve mentioned, I really wanna shake my life up with this list. Then Yay! for this.
6. Continue to collect stamps. My old hobby. I still keep my stamp collection from the old days. But now I am not interested in collecting them anymore.
7. Learn to drive a car (update: I got my driving license in May 2011)
8. Throw an all-girl party. Of course, it should be “some all-girl parties”.
9. Scuba-dive.
10. Get a tattoo.=> I no longer wanna have a tattoo as I want to go to onsen in Japan.
11. Spend a lot of time with my grandma. (update 27th Feb 2011: I have been visiting her alot recently and slept over with her ♥ cooked and read for her ♥)
12. Get married.

14.  Learn to ice-skate
15. Blow glass (maybe in Italy)
16. Eat something really weird. I’ve eaten something weird already, errr… like some kinda insects in Bangkok, Thailand, and to tell the truth, I’ve even tried mouse meat. Now maybe I will try something weirder =)
17. Being at two places at one time =) (I have been at Laos & Thailand; China & Vietnam at the same time)

19. Write my very first book and HAVE IT PUBLISHED. Yes. Why not? I would be proudly put it on my bookshelf :”>
20. Get one chance at Vietnam Idol 2012! Yes, why not? Ha ha, thou’ I don’t expect a lot, but trying to sing to others would be great. I like Uyen Linh (Vietnam Idol 2010) a lot. And she has helped me to fulfill this task as every time I listen to her singing, I know I need to get up and continue with the other passions of my life.
