I was never the person who lists down the things that I want to do in my lifetime, not even rank them in order of importance. That's probably one of the reason why I'm at lost sometimes.  But I will try my hardest to list them, from least to most important.

10. To learn how to ride a bike. Funny, isn't it? At my age, I still do not know how to ride a bike! Mind you, I have tried every chance I get to ride a bike but I only end up getting frustrated because I cannot seem to know how to balance my body against this two-wheel vehicle! I never had difficulty learning things that interests me, but this one is like Math that I could never learn the trick. But I do believe that no one is too old to learn anything so I am hopeful that when I get married and have kids of my own, we'd be riding bikes when going to the park.

9. To have a formal study in photography and/or creative writing. Some things can be mastered through constant practice, while there are some that needs formal lessons to be proficient and effective. I know that I have a lot to learn to be an effective writer and photographer and I cannot learn them on my own.

Another revelation of mine, though is it not as embarrassing as not knowing how to ride a bike because I know a lot of people, in fact, most of my friends doesn't know how to cook. I know the basic cooking like boiling, steaming and frying, those simple things. But of course, I want to learn how to cook dishes for my future family to enjoy.

6. To travel Europe. It's everyone's dream, I know. Who wouldn't want to be in the most romantic and artsy place in the whole world? I often tell myself that if and when I become rich, I will travel Europe in a heartbeat, and would probably stay there for a couple of years.

5. To visit my sister. My sister and I are very close though we lived miles apart since we were children. But despite the distance, she never fail to provide for me and my other sister. She's always make sure that we have everything that we need and that we're always in good shape. Now that she's living abroad,
