the bucket list

thinking about death is good. it makes us feel humbled by the fact that God is the only one that stays. it keeps us grounded. well, to some people. it makes us realise how short life is and death can come anywhere and anytime.

some people cry when they think about death. some people can't wait to die. some people think that they are going to live a long and prosperous life. some people think that they are going to live forever. some people know when they are going to die. some people spend much of their life feeling angry and stressed. some people are too busy working and making money. some people spend much time thinking they are smarter, stronger and more powerful than others. some people love scolding and putting people down without thinking that it is sinful to hurt others even if they are less smart than them. some people forget that their position in society is not the same as where they stand in His eyes. some people think that they can bring their money to the grave. some people forget that they will eventually die and all their wealth will stay behind.

as for me, i have always thought that my life is going to be a short one. i always have and always will.  knowing that there is another life hereafter makes me feel that this world will never be enough.  i totally don't mind it. i used to think that making millions was everything. but not anymore. as long as i can live my life to the fullest without hurting others, i will be more than happy.

hence i have come up with a revised list of what to do before i die. =)

1) learn how to ride a motorbike

2) learn a new language

3) learn how to ride a horse

4) learn how to shoot the target using a handgun

5) learn to keep quiet when speaking hurts others more

6) to be a good wife, a good mother, a good daughter, a good sister and a good friend

7) to keep loving my job till my last breath

8) to make sure that my family is financially well taken care of once i die

9) to enjoy nature more than what i used to

10) to bungee jump

11) to volunteer as much as i can

12) to be more patient with old people, annoying little children, idiots who think that they are smarter than the rest of the population

13) to forgive and be forgiven

14) to be closer to God every single day

InsyaAllah. wish me all the luck in the world. =)
