Everyone deserved a special position in their lives no matter who is she or him, there is for sure some of them wish to longer their lives as they might be thinking of the insufficient time to enjoy themselves. People always forget about the ways to enjoy their lives as they always keep on working and repeating the same daily routine which is nonstop working.
My parents who have the traditional thinking always told me that working is much more important rather than enjoying live as they believe the theory of no pain no gain. Therefore, I have been instilled such concept since I was young as I should not fully enjoy my live until the day I get to retire. However, my thinking start changing when I am stepping into the different level in my live, I start believing that we should fully make use of our remaining lives in order to make it meaningful. In other words, live should be full of passions, adventures and challenges as everyone wishes to make their lives become more colorful but never feel regret on what they did in the remaining lives.
There is undeniable that there were several unforgettable things that I have done in the remaining of my live that still kept in the deep side of my memory. For example, I have followed a bunch of my best friends forever to Port Dickson at three o’clock in the morning just for a simple breakfast, I have drove along the highways in the speed of 140km/j on the first day I got my driving license, I have followed friends went to Genting Highlands in the midnight and had the Maggi Mee instant noodles at Seven-Eleven while standing outside the First World Hotel with the temperature below 20 degree Celsius. I always think that we should do some kind of the craziest things in the remaining live as we are still young enough. However, there are too many things that I have got no chance to try on it and thus I am thinking to set a to-do-list before kicking the bucket which has directed me to plan for my future.
Before ending up my live, the very first thing I am planning to do is to get a tattoo near my ankle. People might be thinking that to get a tattoo is such an easy thing as long as you have got the money and head on to the tattoo shop to get a permanent decorative tattoo. Unfortunately I do have parents who have got the traditional thinking and this led them to think that whoever has got the tattoo equals to bad people. I remember my mother told me that the main reason that I should not get a tattoo is my future Mr. Right might not be able to accept it. However, in my opinion, I think that there are many different reasons to get a tattoo, for example, people get tattoo to mark milestones, to remember a loved one, to celebrate the birth of a child as they got their child’s name or a portrait tattooed on their body parts along with the birth date. Therefore, I wish to get a meaningful tattoo which belongs to me and tattooed on my body parts permanently as it was one of my wish during eighteenth birthday. Next, I wish to go for the binge drinking. What is the difference between binge drinking and standard drinking that we usually having with friends while chatting in the café? The term “binge drinking” generally refers to drink heavily over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated, resulting in immediate and severe intoxication. There is undeniable that it might be able to harm the heath such as hangovers, headaches, nausea, shakiness and possibly vomiting. Since I am going to kick the bucket soon thus I need not to scare the possibility of taking risk on my own health. After binge drinking, I am going to have the Japanese buffet to explode my own stomach. According to the traditional Chinese culture, in the Lunar 7th month, the hungry ghost festival is one that literally all hell breaks loose as the gates of hell will open to let out the “hungry ghost”. Therefore, I am definitely not going to be the “hungry ghost” as only wander to seek food and drinks offered at night outside the gates of house.
Besides, I wish to go for the orthodontics which applied on teeth straightening treatment such as wearing braces in order to get straight, healthy and beautiful smile. I wish to bring my teeth into proper alignment which results in the so called ‘perfect’ smile, where the teeth are in neat attractive rows. I always wonder that how well if the dental braces offer me a better appearance in the mouth so that I would have the perfect smile. If I would have the perfect smile that the use of braces can give me, people will start perceiving me as friendly in the very first impression. This is because I am able to smile confidently whenever and wherever I get to meet people in order to make a good impression which is important in building relationships with others. Moreover, after having the nice perfect smile, I wish to gear up myself with world class branded stuffs and head on to a grand party. I used to watch the TV show about the grooming party where all the ladies dress up themselves nicely and trendy. I was never a stylish person as I always wearing the shorts or jeans with a pair of tee shirt and I believed that there is unnecessary to dress up myself for the occasion. Before ending up my live, I believed that it is always better to be overdressed rather than underdressed so that I will become at least a beautiful ghost who walks along the ancient trees while calling the lapsed soul. Next, I am going to have an ultimate date with the loves one as I already dressed up myself stylish and trendy. I wanted to have the best ever and special date in my live as I wish to keep the most unforgettable memories with my lover since I am not able to pause the present love moment. After that, I wish to spend a night in the storied or historic hotel to experience a night of classic atmosphere. This is because I wish to make verification about the existence of ghost spirit. I might be get influenced by the drama series of “Ghost Whisperer” and this seriously build up my curiosity about the existence of ghost spirit. I am going to record and capture the videos as well as photos about the ghost that people believe is the soul of deceased person or animals in order to publish a documentary book series about the ghost spirit.
Meanwhile, I am planning to go backpacking for a month. Basically backpacking is a term that has historically been used to denote a form of low cost, independent international travel. There is too common for youths to go for backpacking out of the country maybe around a month especially among the Western youths. They usually will work for half year while saving the budget money before planning to go for backpacking. This is because backpacking does have many benefits which included reducing the risk of heart diseases and strokes which could save the live by promoting a healthy lifestyle. Backpacking also improves team building skills by promoting a positive attitude as well as increasing awareness of the natural environment. Therefore, I wish to popularize this backpacking culture among Malaysian youths as such culture is not too common yet in order to have an urge get away from today’s highly materialistic lifestyle. Besides, I wish to visit the Great Wall of China before kicking the bucket. The Great Wall of China was built over two thousand years ago by Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China during the Qin Dynasty. People always say that Chinese must at least visit the Great Wall of China once in life as the Great Wall of China is such spectacular historical scenery in China. I am planning to spend overnight on the Great Wall of China with sleeping bag and mats so that I am able to sleep on the wall under the stars. I believe that it is definitely an amazing thing to spend overnight in the Great Wall of China. Moreover, climbing the Great Pyramid of Egypt is one of the things in my to-do-list before kicking the bucket. The Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest pyramids of ancient Egypt and it is a true marvel of the ancient world. It is impossible to visit Egypt without including the pyramid as one of the must see destinations.
Next, I am going to challenge myself to participate in a singing contest as it was one of my birthday wishes when I was in eighteen years old. I bet everyone loves singing no matter with friends or singing in the bathroom and thus I wish to challenge myself to go for “ASTRO Talent Quest” annual singing contest in order to let the judges to judge my talent in singing and prove to the whole world that I am able to sing well. Moreover, I am planning to go for skydiving as it is truly fun and challenging for me. Skydiving is also known as parachuting, is the action of performing acrobatics during freefall followed by deployment of a parachute. Skydiving is something that I have always wanted to go at least once in my life as I wish to try the freedom over the sky without plane or helicopter. After trying on the skydiving, I wish to go for parasailing in order to differentiate it between skydiving. Basically in skydiving I got to freefall reaching speeds of up to 120mph in a belly to earth body position while in parasailing is working with air as well as thermals. This allowed me to lift and to stay for much longer, potentially for hours at a time but in skydiving is only for few minutes. Besides, going for bungee jump is another challenging game for me to try on it before kicking the bucket. It is such an incredible activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. People always say that bungee jumping is such an activity which can experience on the feeling of reaching death. Therefore, I wish to try on it before kicking the bucket so that I will not feel too scared of death. After challenging on all those extreme games, it is time for me to challenge skinny dipping in Bora-Bora Island which located in French Polynesia. Bora-Bora Island is known as one of the most beautiful sea in the world by American writer James A. Michener, who visited more than forty Pacific Islands during his naval service. How great is the feeling to enjoy the softness of the sand, the blast of the sun as well as the crashing of the cool sea! Besides, I am planning go searching for piranha after watching that Piranha movie and got influenced of it which made me feel so curious about the existence of it. There are various myths about the piranhas such as how they dilacerate a human body in seconds that they sweep in the rivers at high speed and start attacking. Therefore, I am going to discover the size of piranha as well as the piranha teeth which are often used to make tools and weapons.
Moreover, I would like to be a social volunteer that able to contribute to the society before ending up my live. As a feedback to the current society, I would involve myself in helping out the people who are in need as volunteering helps in building of strong as well as cohesive communities. It fosters trust between citizens and helps develop norms of solidarity which are essential to stable the community. Therefore, I believe that being a social volunteer will definitely create the most satisfaction by lending a hand to them. Next, I am planning to donate or sponsor a child through World Vision by paying Rm50 monthly. My donation is probably will help to prepare the child’s community for any emergencies. Besides, it helps to create healthy environments and hopeful futures for children with essentials such as education, skills training, nutrition improving, agriculture assistance, safe water as well as health care. Next, I wish to donate my body for viable organs as many lives could be saved if more people became organs and tissues donors. I personally think that it is such a social responsibility to help others survive or live normal lives. This is because there is undeniable that organ donating helps grieving families as most families will want to do everything they can which help the grieving process. Last but not least, I wish to bring my parents to relax which is the most important thing in my to-do-list as I need to pay my filial piety to them. Filial piety is an expression which everyone should know to be good and to take care of parents, to engage in good conduct towards parents. I might need not bring my parents to stay at all those five stars resorts or travel around the world, but maybe accompany them to go for a breakfast or have a cup of coffee every morning as they are happy enough for it.
In conclusion, these are all the twenty things in my to-do-list before kicking the bucket. I am too surprised that I have too much things needed to complete up before kicking the bucket. Therefore, I am not going to waste my time anymore but start working on every single thing in the to-do-list right now.
