My Bucket List

I finally decided to make a blog. Just cuz everyone else is doing it, so why not, right? Just a warning though if you decide to follow my blog, I tend to write a lot. I can ramble on and on and on endlessly and mercilessly about anything and everything. Really. And most likely my ramblings will be mostly about my feelings and thoughts rather than the happenings of my life. You can stop here if you don't want a piece, ok, more like very large slice, of my mind thrown at you. Well, you've been warned.

The other day I was reading a book (yes, an actual book. Not a textbook. Surprisingly I've found lots of time to read this summer), and I thought, "You know what an awesome thing to add to my bucket list would be? Writing a book and getting it published!" Don't know where I get these sudden inspirations since I never had that desire before. In fact, I thought I hated writing until I realized that it was just academic papers I disliked organizing and researching and coming up with (that I contribute to laziness), but that I actually really LIKE the writing part. In fact, I have 20+ journals to prove it. I can write pages and pages and pages about the same subject until I've analyzed the topic to death, just to resurrect it and start all over again the next day. And perhaps the next as well. Now I realized how much I depend on my writing to release all the feelings and emotions I have kept inside during the day that I didn't have a chance to express out loud. Writing is such a wonderful thing. I'm glad I finally came to understand that.

Anyways, I never actually made a bucket list before, and now that I have my very first thing on the list, I must not stop the inspiration from coming. Well, here I go.

1. Write a book and publish it

2. Travel to all 7 continents

3. Go on many humanitarian trips all over the world, but especially China

4. Learn to play the violin

5. Make a wedding cake

6. Go skydiving

7. Paint a big painting good enough to be hung on a wall

8. Be able to speak both Cantonese and Mandarin fluently

9. Be a phenomenal cook

10. Open my own bakery/pastry shop

That's a good list for now. I'm sure I will have more to add later.

You got lucky today, because I think i'll actually stop here for now. Until next time.
