A Novel

I write my own story. For those of you who don't like it, well, as if there is anything you can do other than f-off :P

My Twenties List

Posted by Unknown at 6:28 AM comments (0)
I have been having too much free time at workplace lately. And that somehow had got me into thinking of my twenties.

I have had a blessed and materially comfortable childhood, and a dream-full adolescent of limitless possibilities in life. I am 23 this year, 7 more years to go before I turn 30. I don't how's my 30s going to be like, but ideally speaking, I would want myself to have achieved something in my career, and settling down, to have my own property too perhaps.

As I am typing all these, I can't help but to ask myself is that what I really want in my life?

(Literally after 5 minutes...)
YES. I do want to settle down and live a reasonably luxury life, and to share my life with the one. I want to be great in the corporate world, I want to be able to lead an advertising campaign and to proudly claim 'I did that!'.

But before I commit myself to it, there is an even bigger part of me struggling to comprehend myself and the place I live. I desperately yearn to understand the world, the country, the city, the culture, the people, the food, everything. It just never cease to amaze me how physically and mentally each and everyone resemble so much and yet so differ. How a city evolves through each and every centuries and conceived of such diversified meanings - a placed called home to people of different time, a place that foreigners craved to visit or live in, a place that is unheard of etc.

So, what I really want to say is, I want a fearless twenties that do and see enough. The list goes on as such:

1. Join an expedition (on the way!)
2. Learn how to swim and dive
3. Fall in love passionately
4. Go round-the-world for at least 6 months
5. Visit India
6. Visit Machu Picchu
7. Work overseas for at least a year
8. Get a tattoo
9. Spend more time with my parents
10. Get a master (if I have the time and 'energy')
11. Learn at least one new language
12. Sharpen up my English, both writing and conversing
13. Be a traveler in my own city
14. To experience a white Christmas
15. Sky diving
16. Visit Liverpool and London again
16. Be true to myself

TO BE CONTINUED..
