I think all of us have things that we really want to do but are unable to cos of time, financial constraints. Sometimes even during ur off days, u cant seem to bring urself to lift a finger to do something. Would be so tired on days that u just wanna hide at home, sleep or just go out and chill, eat and drink instead.
As the years passes by, the list of things u WANT to do grows longer and longer. Yet u find u cant/dont have the time to do all of them. In a blink, its almost a decade, or soon, u'll be old and retired. Hopefully you are able to finally pick up the list and start doing some of them. Though you might not be physically or mentally capable of doing some by then. Provided u dont come up with a whole routine during retirement eg eat and sleep and watch tv only as a time filler of sorts.
Hmm sometimes when we have time on our hands, suddenly we 'don't know' where to start or what to do. Hence the common complaint of boredom. Think it would be good to start with a list of up to 10 things and start from there. You can even do a cost-analysis eg if its a course, set a time frame if its a skill etc.
What's my 10 things to do before I die? *Thinks I have quite a number but lemme get started on writing down what comes to mind*
1) Learn the electric guitar and master it
2) Go visit Japan esp for Sakura season
3) Learn Japanese
4) Learn to be a driver
5) Learn to play acoustic guitar
6) Learn how to swim well
7) Learn to cook and bake desserts, to master at least 10 dishes each
8) Know how to make several alcoholic drinks by memory instead of book
9) Go visit Australia with a farm stay to lie on grass and pick strawberries
10) Master the swave board
11) Have a lean and fit and toned body, esp a much flatter stomach, despite aging.
12) Have a good in-depth idea of musical theory and can apply
13) Socialize more so that I can have more guy friends. Miss having guy friends not so much for bf but the activities that guys can add to a group.
14) Able to play Weiqi well
15) Can make at least 10 of those blended non-alholic drinks by memory
16) Learn to compose musical pieces
17) Learn to be a chef in dessert
18) Learn to draw and design clothes/furnishings, to give life to an idea/design
19) Learn Bahasa Malay
20) Learn some card magic tricks
Other more trival stuff to try at least once in a lifetime like
21) Wave-boarding
22) Go for a Halloween party and dress up
23) Bungee (dunno if i really can go thru with it)
24) Cosplay
25) Fly in a glider
26) play the guitar well on the beach under the setting sun/moonlight
27) Surfing
28) Drinking sake under Cherry Blossom trees
29) Fly in a helicoptor
30) Go for a ladies arm wrestling contest (for the heck)
Hmm kinda exhausted my brain at the moment.
Some I am already doing like 3,4,5,6. Some are in the works. Some I dont know when I will get about doing them. Quite a number involves money to do, some wont be immediate once off but takes lots of time and effort. But for me if it is what I really want to do at least once in a lifetime, it wont be too expensive unless I cramp them all together. Some just have to pursue together with working.
Looking through I am surprised at some of the items that come to mind. Hmm better note this down and start doing.
Live each day like ur last and you will never be bored, live life doing what u really want to do and it will never be meaningless.
To make a memory, hopefully a good one, to last a lifetime.
