it's been a while since i watched that movie. and i remember myself being inspired to create my own list that time, until i was caught up by the usual stuff, college tuition to save up for, monthly allowances to send, bills to pay, and more money to earn, that i set aside creating one.
now, i thought about making one again. i don't know if it's quarter life crisis one more time (on a bright and positive light, by the way, regardless of the term "crisis"), or i simply feel that at 23 (and two more months to go before i turn 24), i'm young enough to enjoy life more than i ever did and old enough to dare myself to do the things i once gave up on.
so here goes my bucket list. (it's not complete yet because every so often, i get new ideas and i think of new things that i may just add).
1. try wakeboarding.
i hate the sea. (i drowned three times and i never learned to swim) maybe it's about time i conquer the sea, or at the very least, get acquainted with it. plus, i think it's a cool sports. :)
2. learn to play at least one instrument.
i was a lyrist back in grade school, but i don't think lyre qualifies at this time and age. i'm thinking of learning to play a guitar. my cousin used to teach me, but i gave up on myself even before he gave up on me. i'll try to be committed this time. one singaporean friend already volunteered to be my instructor! :)
3. be an expert on something.
i remember tets and i were talking about that one day. back then, i can't think of anything that interests me to research fully about. now, i'm starting to get fascinated with wine, it's vast classifications, unique flavors, and the country each originated from.
4. travel asia.
since the world is too big to travel, and my resources are not that much yet, i'll start with asia. being in singapore makes that plan easier and doable since malaysia and indonesia are just train-ride away.
5. learn a new language.
i know i suck in language. i've been in the province half of my childhood life but i am not fluent and confident enough to speak our dialect. i studied russian language back in college, but i only know how to introduce myself. so this time, i WILL learn either malay or mandarin. i must find one good malaysian or singaporean friend first who'd be willing and patient enough to teach me.
so there goes the list. i'm excited to actually do each one and i'm even excited to add more some time! :)
