Bucketlist

It has been 7 months since I last posted in my blog. Looks like my work and assignments have kept me away from writing. Well I shouldn’t be making excuses; if I wanted I could have found the time to do so. Maybe the past few months have been busy and frustrating at the same time thus making me unable to put my thoughts to words. I should be making more time for my blog whenever possible.

Surfing through the internet, I came across an interesting site which I have signed up to. This site called http://www.bucketlist.org/ is a social site for individuals to list and share their bucket list. For those who are wondering, bucket list is “a list of things which an individual wishes to do before he kicks the bucket (dies)”. This site helps us to list our wish list and monitor which ones have been completed. At the same time we are able to read stories about other people’s bucket list and get new ideas for our own list. Those who like to check out my bucket list, here is the link:

It is very nice to keep track of our own wish list. Seeing the wish list provides extra motivation for me to achieve it. More interesting is reading through other people’s bucket list and their experience when they completed it. There are so many diversified individuals with not only different wish list but also some really weird ones.

There are people who listed “sex while skydiving” in their list which i doubt can be completed and there are also who listed things like “ride a mattress down the staircase”. Even though it might sound ridiculous, but I’m sure most of us have done it while we were young or wished that we have done it. Looking at these lists, it occurred to me why not. Some of the items might be childish but isn’t that what a bucket list is all about, doing the things that we really wanted to do since childhood.

I hope to accomplish most of the items in my list. The list is still short but I am sure as time passes by my wish list will become longer, and I hope that the completed items will become longer too. I don’t want to end up having only a list which is never worked upon or achieved. Maybe I can post some of the completed bucket list item in this blog too.
