Bucket List (inspired by my sis, Dyan Go)

No, I'm not dying and I don't fantasize about it. There may be a couple of times (especially on a bus ride) that I imagine such horrid image but I'm don't obsess about it. I think it's just amazing to think of all the things that you want to do (no matter how impossible they may seem) and day dream about doing it.

So here's my Top 10 list (not in chronological order)

From An Unemployed Nurse Volunteer

July NLE 2011 results were recently released and I vividly imagine myself almost 2 years ago during the release of my examination. I imagined myself staring intently at the computer screen, clicking the Refresh button every 5 minutes or so just to check if the results were released. And there it was. I shouted like crazy, hugged my mom, called everyone I know. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. 2 years after, here I am.

Happy Birthday Letter

Kelvin,

Today is your birthday. Can you imagine? We’ve been celebrating your birthday together for 6 years. I know that we’ll continue this celebration till we’re old and gray and I can’t wait for that to happen. Wouldn’t it be nice to stay at home, be cuddled together on a couch, probably sipping our cups of coffee, with only the blaze of the fire place as our company? You’d be all wrinkled but it wouldn’t matter anyway because I’d be looking at the same man that I’ve loved years before. I’d be looking at the very same eyes which I dearly love because I see my future in them.

My 80-year-old Self

I've written about what I missed during my childhood (Shatong) and it's got me thinking into how the future would look like 55 years from now.

My present consists of listening to classics such as The Beatles, Bob Marley, The Beegees and Debbie Gibson songs. What would 'classics' mean when I'm 80? Britney Spears? Backstreet Boys? Kpop? LADY GAGA?! Would I, 55 years from now, be listening to a Retro Radio Station and listen to 'Hit me Baby One More Time' instead of 'Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away'?

Shatong (inspired by #wheniwas13)

I think my mom is pretty much relieved that I was born in the late 80s (LATE!! i'm not that old) because it was a less expensive childhood compared to the present. When I was young, all i had was a stick that I'd pick up anywhere and play 'shatong' with. Now, children might not even know what 'shatong' is. There are a few things you can learn when playing 'shatong'. You learn Physics because you get to calculate the speed and velocity of the stick depending on the direction you want the stick to go to (of course, that's for kids ages 8-13 years old with an advance knowledge in science). But for a regular kid like me, I just learn patience and persistence which is tough to learn for kids these days when everything can be done in a touch of a button.

What to do in Spiderman-moments

I've had so many 'sablay' moments in my life. I actually believe that at least 80% of my existence is made of those moments. What does 'sablay' means anyway? Does it mean tripping over a newly-ironed, white nursing uniform on your way to work? Or simply the things that happened in the song 'Ironic' by Alanis Morissette?
