In this page section, I'm gonna list down all of the things that I wish to do before I die, or in a shorter term, my Bucket List. I don't mean to brag about my achievements in life though, this is just a reminder for me that I have goals to fulfill in this world, and this list is a guide for me to achieve those. I don't mean that I am a hundred percent sure that I will check off all of these, but like I said, I will dream big, as big as I want my dreams to be. Hehehehe. And I share this because I wish I could inspire all of you to live your lives to the fullest and to make yourself happy.
Things To Do Before I Die / My Bucket List
1. Skydiving at Dubai
I dare to say that this is one of my biggest dreams, and honestly, I am super scared of height. I'm even afraid to be travelling by airplanes. I know it's gonna be a little bit extreme for me to some extends, but I know, that in order to defeat your biggest fear, you need to do things that let you face the fear itself. I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to fulfil this one.
2. Visit all Disneylands and Disneysea (Progress : 1/6 - 2014)
I've been dreaming of Disney since forever, and I'm glad to be one of those who grew up with Disney. I finally could step foot into one of the Disneylands which is in Paris. I was being really emotional during my visit, because I've been dreaming about it for my whole life. I still have 5 more Disneylands to visit, which are : Disneyland in California, Disney world in Florida, Disneyland Hongkong, Tokyo Disneyland, and the magical Tokyo DisneySea. Nobody is too old for Disney hahahhaa.
3. Set foot in all Harry Potter Lands
I am one of those lucky kids who grew up with Harry Potter as well. When I first knew that they finally built Harry Potter Lands accross the world, I had decided that this would be one of the places that I need to visit. Well, I am the lost witch alright, I need to continue my lessons in Hogwarts. Okay, not funny.
4. Be married to the love of my life.
Been in a relationship with this guy for 2.5 years, and I am beyond blessed to be able to love him. And like any other girls, I hope to marry the love of my life, and in my case, it will be him. <3
5. Get married in a castle
As a huge fan of Disney, I have a dream of having a wedding in a castle. It's not a must though, but I hope this will come true hahahaha.
6. Own a DSLR (checked 2014)
7. Selfie with the Hollywood sign
Well, who doesn't want this. If I can't make it to Hollywood, at least I should be able to take a selfie with the sign. Hahahaha.
8. Create my own business empire
It's not a huge business that I mean here, but I always dream of selling something that I create by myself. And if you are following me on instagram, you'll know how much I love to create stickers to spice up my planner. And as a planner girl, I have a dream of sharing my hobbies with other planner fellows accross the globe. Maybe some people might think that it's useless to sell such thing as stickers, or it's merely a hobby. But for me, that's where the fun is, when you could do your hobbies and earn money at the same time.
9. Attend a planner conference
Still about planning. I plan to attend a planner conference that is held yearly by those senior planners accross the globe who I totally look up to. The Geaux Wild conference just passed last week, and I only could stalk them through Instagram to see how fun the planjama party was, and how cool to meet famous planners like Erin Condren, Jen , Krissyanne, and may more. Geez I wanna go there so bad, this is certainly gonna be on my list!
10. Visit Rome and meet the gladiator (checked 2014)
Rome has been one of the places on earth that I want to visit the most. I am always curious about the gladiators who fought for their lives in the amphitheatre (Colloseum) and I really wanted to experience the feeling of stepping into the teathre of death.
And finally in 2014, my dream came true. I visited Colloseum and it was one of the most unforgetable moments in my life. Not because I was too happy, but on the contrary, I could feel how sad that place was, especially with the underground exposed. I joined a short tour in the amphitheatre and I would like to share a little bit of what I learned. The underground was the place where the gladiators were kept, waiting for their freedom by defeating the other gladiators. Well, they could either went home, or died in the arena, watched by millions of people in that era. It is said that there were 3 sessions of show in a day. In the morning, people could watch the gladiators packed with weapons, fighting with the super hungry, fierce animals. While the second session which was in the afternoon, people could watch the gladiators who were left to die. They were packed with nothing, and they should face the hungry animals. It was like feeding the animals, and nobody could come out alive. And for the last session, it was a battle between two gladiators, and this show had got the most audiences. The stage was purposely covered with sand, in order to give more effects to the bloods that spilled from the dying gladiators. So, you can imagine how it was like to stand there, looking at a place with such a history.
Even though it's totally impossible to meet a gladiator, but I accidentaly met a cosplayer and he was so fun. I wish to be back again someday.
11. Honeymoon at Japan
Well, because, why not? Hahahah.
12. Host a Youtube Channel
I have a dream of hosting a youtube channel and share with you guys about planning, some tips, and maybe sharing some piano playing as well. I hope this will come true someday.
13. Go on a Cruise
Oh please , please come true. I've always wanted to be in a cruise trip with my beloved ones.I don't love romantic, but I can't deny this one. Hahahhha.
14. Learn to swim
I have a huge phobia of water beside height (well, that explains I'm afraid of most of the things). I ever drowned in a swimming pool when I was a little girl, nobody saved me, and I really tried to grab anything that I could touch. I drank a lot of water on that day, and I could never forget that. Even until now, I still feel so traumatized by that event. I wish to defeat my fear and be able to swim again. I am always jealous of those people who can enjoy snorkelling and diving. I will try my best to fulfil this one.
15. Shape a dream abs
16. Set foot in all 7 continents. (Progress 2/7)
Hahahaha this is kinda impossible since I would probably not be going to Antartica, well but at least I hope I could go to the rest of them.
17. Do a cosplay and visit a cosplay event (checked 2015-2016)
Even though I had never really done a cosplay (I was only doing original character all the time) but it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. And on the last event that I attended, I finally did my first and last cosplay of my favourite waifu from LOVE LIVE : Hanayo Koizumi. <3 It was not perfect and it was a really short time, but the memories lasts for a lifetime.
18. Visit Forbidden City
19. Visit the Terracota Army
20. Bring my kids on a Disney Cruise

21. Master the calligraphy and typography
I have a huge interest in hand lettering and I'm in the process of learning. I hope I could be a great hand letterer someday.
22. Have a walk at Kyoto in yukata/kimono for a day
23. Have a culinary trip in Korea

24. Take a picture under the Cherry Blossom
As a Japan lover, I have been dreaming of visiting Japan during the cherry blossom blooming season.
25. Own an Erin Condren life planner
OH MY GOSH this is definitely a must. I don't think my planning life is complete without accomplishing this point. Maybe I will get one in 2017? Hope so.
26. Live in a peaceful countryside
Being born and raised in a city has actually driven me to think of living in a peaceful countryside where there are only meadows and roads surround me.
27. Visit St. Peter's Basilica (checked 2014)
Even though I'm not a Chatolic, but St. Peter's Basilica has been one of my top destinations. I always think that this place holds so many unexposed secrets and it would be so wonderful to be there. In 2014 during my Europe trip, I couldn't wait to step my foot inside this wonderful place, and indeed, it was totally worth it. I even experienced walking through the dome, even though the journey seemed endless, but when I got to the very top, I could take a great picture of Vatican. This is one of the places that I will recommend the most, not to mention all those impressive interiors.
28. Attend Tomorrowland mainstage in Belgium
No explanations for this. I just wanna be here, and watch my most favourite DJs performing <3

33. Visit Sengakuji Temple and pray for the 47 Ronin
The 47 Ronin have been a great example for loyalty , bravery and endurance, and the history of 47 Ronin has been so popular in Japan since the 18th Century even until now. Since the movie "47 Ronin" was aired in 2013, I had read several articles to gain informations about their history. Their graves are now in Sengakuji Temple in Tokyo, and I would definitely pay a visit if I have a chance to go to Japan, to burn some incense sticks to pay my respect.
34. Visit Samurai and Ninja village
35. Have a gondola trip with my husband at the Grand Canal, Venice
36. Selfie with Christ the Redeemer at Rio de Janeiro

38. Visit the Hobbit Village
39. Donate to homeless people
40. Watch a music concert
41. Visit Tibet
42. Have a haunting trip at Aokigahara Forest
I am not a fan of horror stories, but I put Aokigahara Forest as one of the destinations I would try to visit. Aokigahara is a suicide forest located in Japan, and it is said to be one of the most favourite suicide places in the world. I don't even dare to put a picture of the forest here, because it makes me shiver for no reasons. But if I'm daring enough, I would give it a try to visit this forest.
43. Walk the Golden Gate Bridge at San Fransisco
44. Stand in a red phone box in England
Erm... I know this sounds weird but I LOVE THAT RED TELEPHONE BOX!!! I would be more than grateful to be able to stand in there even for just 1 minute. And if this simple thing happens, I am gonna feel like the luckiest girl on earth!
45. Ride the double decker bus in London
46. Ride a camel in the desert
47. Elephant Trecking (checked 2015)
48. Bachelor degree in Music
One of the biggest dreams that I have is to pursue music. I always dream of being a well known pianist, even though I know that my piano playing is still far way behind. Unfortunately, my music career had to be paused along the way, but I've never given up on music. I still try to search for new songs to play and even though I'm still far from perfect, I believe that it's never too late for those who are willing to learn.
49. Own a Bulldog
Since I was still a little girl, I always hope that I would own a puppy. However , I can never do that because my dad is kinda afraid of dogs hahaha. Out of all types of dog, I love Bulldog the most. Even though for most people, Bulldogs are far from cute, but for me, all those wrinkles are what make them unique. If I ever own a Bulldog , I'm gonna make sure that it will live the happiest life it deserves. I promise. I wonder why there are so many people who abuse dogs or other animals, while I'm dying here to have one.
50. Have a white Christmas
I'm... dreamingg of a white... Christmassss... #singing <3
51. Climb the Eiffel Tower (checked 2014)
I'm one of those people out there who have been dreaming about Paris. And I myself have been dreaming about Paris for my whole life. I always wonder how it feels like to be on top of Eiffel Tower, and to witness the beauty of the city from the top of one of the seven wonders. And in Summer 2014, I finally set my feet in Paris. I could hardly believe that, and my grateful feeling can't even be depicted into words.
Finally the more-or-less-15-minutes-trip was over and we reached the top. When I stepped out of the lift, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was looking at the most breathtaking view I have ever seen.. The city of Paris was covered with white buildings, and it was so unique. By then I was so inspired by my experience, I finally understood that the journey to the top might be tedious and hard, and you might feel like giving up along the way. But if you keep on going, the result will be worth it. Well, I honestly wouldn't mind to spend days on top of the Eiffel, it was such an amazing experience and I'm so thankful for that.
Anddddd, I kinda dreamed of kissing under the Eiffel Tower too, wellllll...
you can say that the dream kinda came true, hehee <3
52. Explore Basilica Cistern
Greek Mythology has been such a huge interest for me since years ago, and out of all the Gods/Goddess, I love Medusa instead, despite the fact that she was actually a monster, or in other word, Gorgon. Even though there are a lot of versions of her history, the late version of it actually described her as a young beautiful maiden who was cursed to be a Gorgon.
When my elder brother visited Medusa Cave (Basilica Cistern) in Istanbul in 2014, I had decided that the cave is gonna be in my travel list, especially when he told me about his experience in that cave which was haunting and unusual.
53. Ride the hot air balloons in Istanbul
54. Put up a padlock at Pont des Arts (checked 2014)
As we all know, in June 2015, the government of France had decided to remove the padlocks on this love bridge due to safety. And even though my padlock is now gone, along with the other padlocks, I'm so grateful that I got to visit this beautiful landmark before everything was removed. It was seriously one of the best thing that ever happened to me.
55. Feed a Koala Bear
56. Swim with a dolphin
57. Own a private library
Even though I hate studying, I can't deny the fact that I love to read. My most favourite place on earth is actually a bookstore. I don't try to sound clever or whatsoever, but I love the smell of books, and I love being among books. That's why I wish to have a private library in my house. It doesn't need to be big, just a little room, filled with books, and I can just sit there reading all day. <3
58. Experience 4 seasons
Being born and raised in a two seasons country has made me super curious about 4 seasons countries. I wanna experience the humidity in Spring, the heat of Summer, the falling leaves and breezes of Fall, and the snow in Winter. <3
59. Visit as many Ripley's Museums as possible (progress 1/33)
Since the TV Show "Ripley's Believe it or Not" was aired, I had been waiting in front of the TV every week. And when I knew that there are a lot of Ripley's Museum built in many countries, I wish to visit as many as possible (it's kinda unreal to say I have to visit all of them hahahha). The only Ripley's attraction I had ever been to, was in First World Hotel of Genting Highland in Malaysia, and it is still a longggggg way to go. Hahahha.

67. Decorate a Christmas Tree
Even though I'm not a Christian, I would be more than happy to have a Christmas Tree at my home, so that I could really celebrate Christmas every year. I know that Christmas isn't about decorating the tree and exchanging presents though, but I can't deny the fact that it is the best time of the year! <3
68. Build a snowman
Do you want to build a snowman?? YAS YAS YAASSSSSSSS!!!!

75. Participate in Easter Egg Hunt
Hahahah too old for this point, but I want to at least hide the eggs to let the children find them <3
76. Run a marathon
77. Listen to the choirs on Christmas Eve
I always watch on TV of how people sing choir in the middle of the street on Christmas Eve. I find it very touching and calm to see people who are willing to share the happiness with others even though not everyone would stop there and listen. I wish to experience this in real life because in my country, people only sing choir in the church during Christmas Eve.
78. Experience a real Halloween Party
In some asian countries, people celebrate Halloween by holding "ghost" events where people dress up like ghosts and everything looks horror, and my country is one of them. I really wish to experience the "real" Halloween Party where closed friends visiting each others and have a little snacks or games, and enjoy the togetherness while the little children go from door to door dressing up in cute costumes asking for some treat or tricks.
79. Snowboarding and skiing
80. Pose with the "SWORD IN THE STONE" in England
81. Explore North Korea
Personally, I think that North Korea keeps a lot of secrets from the world and only show few parts of it, for me, it's like a country of mysteries (well, many people think so as well). I wish to explore the city of Pyongyang someday and recheck if what I've read is true, because I'm just super curious about it.
82. Put on a Hanbok in South Korea
83. Visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea
As we all know, in Seoul South Korea, there are 5 grand palaces which are super famous such as : Gyeongbokgung Palace , Changyeonggung Palace, Unhyeongung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, and Changdeokgung Palace. But from all those, I wanna visit Gyeongbokgung Palace the most. It is well known as a film shooting location for many famous Korean dramas. I wanna put on a Hanbok during my visit there. <3
84. Bake a cake for someone's birthday
I'm not a baker, and I have zero talent in baking. But I wish to be able to bake a cake for someone I love though, it's always more special to be able to create something as a gift .
85. Help a complete stranger
86. Watch a movie making process
Have you ever wished to experience a movie making process? Especially those high rated movies. It is always great to watch the movies in the theatre, but I believe that it is always greater to watch the process, because it requires a lot of effort, hard work, integrity, passion, and determination in order to make it happen. So, to all of great movie stars and all those people who are working behind the scenes of great movies, no matter where you come from, I salute you.
87. Write a song (checked 2012)
Heartbreaks hurt sometimes, and I had ever gone through a very bad heartbreak in 2012. It hurted so bad that I spent another 5 months stupidly waiting for him to come back. It taught me a great lesson and on the 5th month of my waiting, I decided to write a song for him even though he has never known about it. I wrote everything he said in that song, and I planned to sell it because I was so inspired of Adele, well, who knows I can be famous as well because of heartbreak hahaahhahaha. But I didn't. Well, I plan to write more songs in the future though, and hopefully they won't be heartbreak songs hahahahahah.
88. Camp on a beach
89. Walk under the rain
90. Play in the puddle of mud
