Things I Want To Do

Saturday, September 30, 2006

Since the past few days I’d been feeling a little directionless. I felt there are so many things I always wanted to do but for some reason wasn’t able to do them. So I came up with a novel (okay, well, not really novel) plan which would help me remember all those things that I want to do. Everytime I feel low or disillusioned, I’ll pop in here pick a to-do and do it (hopefully) and rhapsodise about it. The last part (rhapsodising) is the most fun part!

So, here it goes…..

Things I want to do before I am 25….

1. Find out the truth about colours. Linda Goodman's Star Signs was the first place where I read startling things about the power of colours and how they affect us. I now want to find out the truth of it all for myself. Infact, I shall be performing a little experiment of sorts soon. :D

2. Learn how to swim. Yes folks, I don’t know how to swim. Such a pity, innit?

3. Learn to play the guitar. Then I can play and sing! How cool would I be!!

4. Learn Spanish. I had once started doing a little self-teaching type course but left it after 3-4 sessions. This is the language that I’ve always wanted to learn alongwith Arabic and German.

Yes, there are many (mannnnnyyy) things I want to learn.

5. Learn how to put mascara properly.Yea, erm.... I kind of mess it everytime! *blush*

6. Learn all about lexigrams.

7. Go paragliding.

8. Go snorkelling (after I learn to swim ie).

9. Make him go down on his knees and apologise a hundred times. Don’t ask me who he is because I am not telling. Muahahaha.

10. Knit a scarf. Actually, I had started learning crochet but left it midway. So I want to learn it properly and then make woollens. I don’t like leaving things incomplete, you see.

11. Visit the chocolate factory in KL (long story so as to why I want to accomplish this particualr feat. More on that later.)

12. Sing in public.

13. Not wear my watch for a whole week and forget all about time (in that particular week). Well, people who have read this know how particular I am about being punctual et al. So I want to break free (for a week) to see what it’s like! (of course, I may not live after that paticular week).

14. Tour Tuscany. I have been fascinated by this place since I saw ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’ starring Diane Lane.

15. Shop in NYC (yay!!!).

16. Learn Calligraphy.

17. Go to Egypt (er... I think I’ve mentioned a whole lot of places, but I can’t help it. I love travelling!) and really see the ancient pyramids and the arcane sphinx for myself. Then of course, go on a little break to decode their mysteries.

18. Learn Salsa. Yes, I soooo want to learn salsa! It’s the hottest.

I think I’ll stop at 18 for now. A) I can’t remember the loads of other crazy things that I wanted to do (they come in flashes, you see). B) 18 in itself isn’t really a good number, but it adds up to 9 which is! 9 stands for action, which in this case is very much required.

Hey babe... you dun really need to know how to swim in order to go snorkelling... just gotta be comfortable in water... I'm a pretty bad swimmer myself, but I love snorkelling...

And oh, you should go to a Malaysian island... sheer snorkelling paradise! :)

U should feel happy if you manage to accomplish even half of those things by the age of 24!

Give deadlines to urself as to when u wanna complete each of those tasks, thatz the only way to make sure u do all of that...
Best of Luck!

When those strings strum and create music, you need the breeze to carry those tunes.

Good luck :)

Interesting list up there... Would recommend learning swimming because they say, the younger you learn it, the better you can become (assuming you like it)... But what do I know, I cant swim :(

You have lots of time though... So best of luck...

Sneha said...

@libran- they probably have another reason for advocating learning swimming as a child since, child-> no image issues->less embarrassment while freaking out in the pool->better :D

Abhu said...

sneha!!! whom do u want on his knees... TELL ME !!! NOW!!!

Sneha said...

@disha- hullo! i hope iam actually able to DO those things. it would be much fun to rhapsodise about to future-grandchildren (hopefully there'll be there some day! heee), u know.

@abhu- ahhh.. not telling. my lips are sealed. as i said, don't ask me cause iam not teling! iam really not.

Sneha said...

@abhu- okay, one thing i can tell you. this person has nothing to do with u! hah! so there. now you know SOMETHING. n do NOT start the guess-the-name game cuz it's not going to work cuz i won't say yes or no (plus, identites must be protected, u know?)! hahaa :D smart me!

The New Age Superhero said...
