What do you want to do before you die??

Okay, I know it's still within the Chinese New Year celebration season and Valentine's has just past, It's not a time to be talking about such an "unlucky" topic.. Well, superstitions say if you mention the "d" word during Chinese New Year, you'll "suay whole year a!!!" means you'll not have good luck for the rest of the year... But then, that's a topic that came into my mind.. If I don't write it down I forget about it after a while and it'll go to waste.. No use tampering with the date of post because I did think of this during Chinese New Year and I'm typing this during the celebration, so no use changing it because... It's there lah.. ish...

I have been watching this TV show called "The Buried Life" talking about a few guys who didn't want to follow the typical stuff in life made a list of what they want to do and achieve before they die and went on performing them one by one, crossing them off the very long list... Those are mostly kinda impossible things, such as "a date with Megan Fox" (Obviously that failed, as she is fully armed with guards and well-protected by her manager), "attend a party at the Playboy Mansion" (This was successful.. and I didn't the Mansion had such tight security, even Christiano Ronaldo couldn't get in), "Play ball with President Obama" (Apparently Obama is a VERY BUSY person... so this wasn't successful either but i think they manage to have a game with him after that episode), "Help deliver a baby" (this one went great..).. Ok, I can't remember every single episode.. just go and google to find out more... But the best thing about this show is that when they are getting something off their list, they'll help a stranger to fulfill what they wanna do before they die and as far as i remember it, they manage to get all of them fulfilled...

After watching this I have been thinking.. What do I want to do before I die?? Currently, my only goals are traveling to a whole lot of places.. I never thought that actually like to travel but going places is what that came into my mind while i was thinking about my list... besides that, is to go study overseas (travelling again... somehow it counts as travelling.. since i'm going somewhere), and then is to get a writing job or get recognise as a writer...

That's about it.. That's not a lot.. maybe it's a good thing meaning i have achieve most of what i want in life... or I actually don't know what do I wanna achieve in life.. the latter sounds kinda sad... that better not be me...

i'll still be thinking about my list.. and why not you think about it too... take a time off your work or studies to do something crazy that you've always wanted to do.. the feeling of satisfaction after it's done is indescribable... well, i'm imagining it.. as i haven't cross out anything on my list yet..

In a quest to cross out stuff on my list..

Signing off~~

huhu, yah you've better not tempt me further...:P probably if you could help me bring some souvenir for oolongtea and gang it'll be good...and perhaps a present for ka lok too (i didnt give any last year:P), well...yah went thru an op in 2008, which regretted it so much coz the doc was not professional (imagine my frens even asked me to sue her) so am looking for better doc for another round, it'll only be tougher now that the eye muscle is much weaker after going through 2 hands (i had my first op when i was 3, but at that time, there was no therapy to followup with the surgery, so it didnt last)...i've got a doc identified, but i'm just taking more time to accumulate $$ and do more homework before heading into the op theatre and get myself cut again:P (cut-throat, hopefully not for nothing, next round)
