It’s been a few weeks since my last post on my personal blog as I have been busy trying to work on my goals for the year. Although I am busy, I still managed to complete 1 bucket list item. I do not know whether you have realized there’s a portion of my blog that states bucket list as this is the place where I put down all the things I want to do and achieve in this lifetime.
If you have checked out my bucket list, you will know I have actually got to know about this from another blogger name Clestine Chua. Recently, I have managed to catch a old movie called The Bucket List by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The movie was about 2 old man who were going to die of last stage of cancer and were trying to face life with a more positive attitude by doing what they want to do before they passed on. I realized that life is short and if you don’t cherish the moments, you will definitely regret when your time on this planet is up. Therefore, I feel that we should treat our daily lives in a more positive manner and try to achieve what we want in life as times goes by.
Anyway, back to my blog post regarding my personal bucket list, I have actually managed to complete one of the items I have listed in July. The item that I have completed is how to roller blade which means inline skating. Initially, I was actually quite reluctant to take up the inline-skating course as the price was quite expensive for just 4 lessons. However, there was an offer at my workplace which cost 1/3 the price of normal private inline skating course. Personally, I believe in law of attraction and feel that I should take up the course. Therefore, I signed up with my girlfriend and learned it together. After going for a few sessions, I was glad that there were no more falls and injuries as I was able to skate more smoothly after so many falls and injuries.
Now I can officially cancel off one item on my bucket list already as I have managed to achieve it by mastering how to skate on roller blade. Next, I hope I can complete 2 or 3 more items on my list by the end of this year and I will update my blog again once I have completed any more items.
One thing to note to all readers on this blog, try not to live your life by default and not making any choices in life as not choosing your own desired lifestyle is also a decision of choice that you make. Therefore, write down the things you want in life and try to achieve it one by one. You may call them dream list or bucket list as it is all up to you. Just make sure you enjoy the process like what I do.
Cheers

P.S. Do check out the movie, “The Bucket List” if you got a chance and be inspired to create your own bucket list too.
P.P.S. If you are currently living in Singapore and actually keen to learn inline skating, do drop me a email as I can get my coach to organize lessons for you.

Great thanks. Watching the show right now. I have 1 dream but I’m not sure if it is worth it. It is to drive an Aston Martin DBS. It cost $875k for a manual car but $580k for a used. Roughly about $6,976 on road tax. I’m not sure if it is possible for me or worth it and I am only 32 years old. A family man with no kids. Planning to have 2 though.
Btw got your site thru Ivan ong. I have to complement on your taste and use for pictures which have an indirect relevance to your subject. Where do you get from?
I run a swim school with unique methodology of making swimming fun, graceful and fast. I wish to follow your methodology in blogging.
Cheerio

Thanks man. Just finish the show on The Bucket List. Doesn’t tear me but it made me appreciate my wife pushing and shoving. If it weren’t for her. I wouldn’t be staying in a landed property and driving a conti car.
But it does chill to know that having children would deter, detour your dream as they somehow come first. And yet being filthy rich doesn’t guarantee Joy, Happiness and Fulfillment. Money can never buy what Morgan Freeman got at the last part of the show. (Spoiler, Starts with F but it ends with You because you created it.)
Tomorrow I test driving my Aston Martin DBS and it shall let me know whether is this the aim I should have.

Hi David,
Thanks for dropping by my blog. Great to see that you like my methodology of blogging style. Most of pictures are gathered from Flickr as there’s a vast resource of images taken by people from all over the world. Usually, I will just do some screen capture to get some interesting photos and put an image courtesy clause to acknowledge people work.
All dream are worth the time to enjoy it but do make sure that it don’t sink your finance down. Make sure you render the thoughts to see whether is it a want or a need and tweak your plan to match your dream. You may love the car but sometimes you don’t have to own it but just rent it to drive for a feel. I have learned from an author (Robert Kiyosaki) who mentioned about using passive income to buy your dream car instead of using hard-earned money to buy it. Just remember don’t let doodads pull down your finance. There’s more things to experience in life so go for it.
Anyway, does your swim school teach people with shoulder dislocation people how to swim?
Cheers
Javier

I might remark The great act of faith is when a man decides he is not God. or even Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than from the arguments of its opposers.
