Bucket List

In the next couple of post, I'm going to do some catch up work. I had many notes scattered everywhere, and scanned them all in before we moved. However, now I'm yet to go through each and post in on my blog. Some may interest you, some may be boring. But all are things I would like to keep and remember.

About a year ago, the movie Bucket List inspired me to make a list of things I (and most we) want to do before we 'kick the bucket' so to speak. Although this list was done before we immigrated, it still applies, and was a joy to read again. One has to have a list of dreams, and when your life gets dull and boring, just reading it create some excitement and enthusiasm for life. Just to realise all the potential and opportunities we have to enjoy and experience so much more than our forefathers. Life has many questions, but one should never question our spirit for adventure.
