It's snowing in London.

And here I am freezing my fucking ass off despite writing this blog post inside the comfort of my flat. Oh, the heater's still in the wardrobe. It just made me realise that it's mid December and that Christmas is approaching. Ah, the festive season: mulled wine, mince pie, stockings, Christmas decorations, snow... Well, that doesn't concern me. I'm Malaysian and back in our country we don't do things that way. It's 35 degrees Celcius there during Christmas and stays that way even if it wasn't. We have brilliant iced teas, wear flip flops with shorts and t-shirt in the midst of the 'winter' seasons. Heck, we do that everyday in fact. And to be honest Christmas is way too commercialised. Christmas shopping, christmas buffet coupons, christmas 'specials', even christmas insurance discounts. Oh boy. We're just victims of capitalisation - those big corporate bastards who are raking in big money through this holiday simply won't tell you that.

This has nothing to do with Christmas.

Neither does this.

Anyway, I recently compiled a 'bucket list'. A list of things which I definitely have to do before I kick the fucking bucket. I'll tell you the first thing which came into my mind: experiencing zero gravity. It's been a childhood dream of mine to go to outer space. But rather than leaving earth, I was always more interested in knowing what it's like to float around without being bounded by the laws of gravity. That's my top priority before anything else. Of course, other things include climbing Mount Everest which sounds ridiculous, but I'm OK with not reaching the peak. I don't want to die before completing everything on the list, so that'll probably be one of the last. Still, there are probably many things which I could add to the ever-growing list. That's why life is such an adventure. I'm now living life with one motto - ticking off those empty boxes on the list, one at a time.

It feels surprisingly refreshing to have greater things to look forward to. Now I finally realise how insignificant my little problems are when I glance through the list. Maybe you should have a 'Before-I-Die' list too.
