- “I was born as a Christian, is living as a Christian and will die as a Christian.” As far as I can remember, I’ve always known how to do the sign of the cross hence why shouldn’t I aspire to go there? It is only logical for me to honor this religion of mine by doing this pilgrimage even just once. The sins I’ve committed far exceeds the good I’ve done so far, it’s a shameful act of gratitude for the life he gave me. This I vow I will do someday even if it drains my savings account to the very brink(well not exactly but still...haha).
- Learn to be a chef
- I know it sounds weird because my course is related to finance but...I’ve always wanted to cook(haha!). I consider it as a satisfaction of the simpler things in life because it could be considered both as a necessity and a luxury. The swift yet convicting strikes of the knife, the rough yet subtle handling of ingredients and the exhausted yet satisfied expression of the creator are all aspects of both work and art. Despite its complexities, it always boils down to how it tastes – good or bad. This perception of mine has always got me interested in it and besides, I don’t want to live my life on instant noodles and fast food alone you know. XD
- Travel around the world
- Who doesn’t want to see new stuff everyday anyway? Isn’t it bland to look at the same things, same people and same places for one lifetime? Hell I know I do. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine to always strike at the chance to go someplace different every time I find a chance to(like my brother’s business trip wohoo!). If variety is the spice of life then travelling is MY passion in life.
- Learning Chinese
- It is being considered as the language of business. They say that if you delve into the business sector then learning to speak Chinese is the way to go. Besides, It’s getting boring just being only a bilingual dude(admit it...it’s true diba? XD). It is one of the fastest growing economies therefore what’s not to like about speaking a thing or two with their native tongue? It may even become a fun and enriching experience on my part. :)
- Flying a plane
- To be honest, it was a childhood dream of mine to become a pilot when I grow up. Years ago, I used to collect a variety of airplane models or toys fictional and real alike. From Boeing’s 747 die-cast models to the X-Wing fighters from Star Wars, I was complete fan of planes albeit not hardcore though. Judging from what I am now, it seems very unlikely for me to become an aircraft pilot but I want to at least know even just the basics of flight. Someday for sure...
- Owning a Sports Car
- It’s a luxury to own a car but it’s a pretty damn good over-the-top luxury to own one of these bad boys. Why do I want this? It’s simple; if you want to have something wouldn’t you want it to be the best and greatest of them all? In addition, these cars also tend to have greater performances than standard cars though at the cost of higher maintenance prices but that doesn’t stop me from aspiring to get one because for me, experience is all that matters. It’s one thing to look but an entirely different thing to experience and also...it doesn’t hurt to dream right? XD
Very interesting to do list, Marvin.
ReplyDeleteVisit the Vatican – I truly believe that this is an act that must be done by all Catholics. I’m looking forward to that day when you finally hop on the plane and visit the Holy Father’s domicile.
“Despite its complexities, it always boils down to how it tastes – good or bad.” – Despite life’s complexities, it all boils down to the road travelled, and seldom the destination. Just a thought.
“I don’t want to live my life on instant noodles and fast food alone you know. XD” – Me too!
As for speaking Chinese, it really is a necessity nowadays. Haven’t you noticed that almost all job ads require that an applicant speaks a tinge of Chinese or Japanese? Keep me updated on this.
As for the plane flying, my sister and I used to collect plane models as well. Expensive as they were, the thought of being the closest thing possible to a bird is invigorating.
And yes, it doesn’t hurt to dream.
