Things to do before I turn 30?- Serious self-disclosure here

Very interesting stuff I have read from:

http://www.cleo.com.au/30_things_to_try_before_you_turn_30.htm

Who says that Cleo is for that bimbo or air-head? It does seem that certain articles from Cleo has given me the fuel for some inspirations about life.



1.Channel an old school movie and throw a drink in a man's face.
No comment- not sure if that means anything to me =P

2.Delete the words “like, random and totally” from your vocab.
Why??

3.Break someone’s heart; similarly, have your own broken.
Yes, I did. I learnt how both sides of the coin work now, but that cycle needs to end

4.Divorce toxic friends.
Never thought I had any.

5.Drink a champagne cocktail in a Paris bar.
Would love to, once the inflation problem stops in Europe, or when the AUD bounce back a lil' (whichever happens first)

6.Master the art of choosing the perfect wine.
"master"- haha, I'm a jack of all trades, master of none!

7.Confess that (present or past) crush on your best male friend.
I did confess crushes twice (i might have perhaps wipe off those not worth remembering), but sadly, I don't have a best male friend!

8.Drive a wickedly cool car, even if you have to rent it.
Yes I did, but not allowed to do it again (don't ever trust me with one)

9.Use an alias for a day.
Yes I did, to dope some silly guy. (HAHA)

10.Visit a strip club.
Okie, wld love to... (kidding)

11.Have a favourite book which isn’t chick-lit.
hmmm....

12.Quit a job, without having another one to go to.
I think I did, but didn't spend the time as constructively as I wanted. Would love to do it again.

13.Buy a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black-lace bra.
Okie, will give it a think.

14.Learn who you can trust, who you can’t and why you shouldn’t take it personally.
Done and over with... I trust no one.

15.Live by yourself (for at least six months).
Wld love to!! But not allowed to!! The max was 3 months at the hall, with a roomy!

16.Travel somewhere by yourself – a foreign country, another city or just a road trip to the country.
Awesome- have thought of this for a long while. Will make it happen, perhaps 2009?! =)

17.Forgive someone who wronged you; apologise to someone you've wronged.
Whatever... I have got a XXX years to go to get the point..

18.Master cooking one impressive three-course meal.
You're talking about Asian/ Italian/ Japanese or what? I can do fusion if that's acceptable??

19.Learn to change a tyre.
Okie, it's good to know how to anyway. I don't want to be caught in a situation where I can only hope for some cute strong dube to come to my rescue if I ever get stuck on the highway.

20.Buy an original piece of art.
HMMMMMM.... I might...

21.Volunteer for a charity you care about.
Yes, I did voluntary work before. But for a charity I really feel for... no, not yet. Wld jump on it, if time and opportunity permits.

22.Break-up with a man who you know is bad for you; similarly, have a fling with a man who you know is bad for you!
Done!

23.Dine solo in a restaurant – no phone, book or notebook allowed.
How many times have I done that?

24.Run a marathon.
Would I live to 30, if I do that??

25.Pay off your credit card(s)/HECS debt/car loan.
No debts yet, and no, not buying a car expensive enough to take up a car loan yet...

26.Spend a whole pay packet on a pair of shoes.
Hmmmm... on a handbag yes... I lust for the huge orange box! But SHOES? You gotta be kidding!!

27.Have a killer joke you tell perfectly ready to use for those awkward moments.
Can someone give me some jokes references? I sometime suspect that I can be quite a joke myself!

28.Try something you always said you’d never do – whether it be sky-driving or eating escargot.
What is it that I'd never do?? Stop shopping for one full year?? No WAY!


29.Learn how to stand up for yourself, rather than silently seething when you receive poor customer service or someone makes a snide remark.
HAHA, I used to be a coward when it comes to that, but everyone has got to watch me now, cos I spit flames! =P

30.Have a one-night stand (or more than one).
HMMMMMMM.... Sorry, no comment on this =P


What'd your response be?

Just another website that's recommended http://www.cleo.com.au/mental-health.htm, interesting articles that everyone should at least have a browse..

“Happiness is not chasing fleeting moments of joy but, rather, focusing on how you can create the most meaningful life for you by thinking about what you value, and putting time and effort into these areas of your life.” Thomson concurs: “Doing something you like is more important than making loads of money and having ‘things’ to show for it.”

After reading the article, I can't help but ask, "Are you talking to me?" One of the readers left this comment, "Be very happy in life, don't waste it".

I'm really trying my best to be happy, so that everyone around have nothing to worry about me. There are times depressing enough, and it seems that I'm made to go through more troughs than others. I can't stop myself from succumbing. But, I'm honest when I say I don't wanna waste it either.
