Today, I just want to share with you the outrageous list of things I had dreamed to do when I was younger (I wrote this list about 10 years ago!). Obviously, none of the dreams in this list came true. But, who knows? Maybe five years down the road I'll become one of the fastest woman racers like Danica Patrick, and will be whizzing about on the F1 race tracks!

Visualizing my own hands on the steering wheel! Haha! And yes! F1 Grand Prix was held in Singapore at the Marina bay as pictured here. |
Anyway, do you share any of my dreams?
1. Be a racer at the F1 Grand Prix or a biker at a motorbike race.
2. To be part of an orchestra as a violinist playing Love's Theme (by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra) at the Esplanade, Marina Bay. [Click here to listen to song. Btw, it's my all-time favourite. I can listen to this song back-to-back for hours :)]
3. To compete in the Blackpool Dance Festival as a professional ballroom dancer.
4. To be a host of an animal show on the Geographic Channel - in a South Africa safari no less!

5. Write a book that helps people to fully utilise their brains as we emerge towards the Wisdom Age and be the best-selling book of all time! Note: But recently, I think we've already entered another era: The Health Age - an era where health in both mind and body has taken centre-stage.

| For a start, let's compare my favourite artist's work (left) and my work (right). Okay, I know, one looks like a million bucks and the other shouldn't cost more than a dollar. |
7. Invent something that is essential for every household - like a bug prevention device that keeps all bugs at bay. Oh gosh! Someone did it! Thank god! I only knew this not long ago. In fact, they have been around for more than 20 years but gained popularity only recently. Read about how it works here.
8. Be one of Michael Jackson's dancer and backup singer in his MTV or concerts. This is definitely impossible now that he has passed away in the year 2009. RIP Mr. MJ.

9. Dive in the Pacific Ocean and discover a civilisation on the ocean floor that actually existed 5,000 years ago as an island.

Somehow, I managed to find three more friends who'll join me in the expedition. Turns out later, two of them were ousted as they were more interested in taking underwater selfies. From the picture, you know who they are... Hint: The two showing the peace sign |
10. To be a parachutist and make a jump during the National Day Parade landing on the Padang. I used to love the feeling of adrenaline rush and has this eagerness to go to the extremes - like how I want to reach to the highest point in the sky (by parachuting), the deepest point on earth (by diving) and the fastest speed I can attain (by racing). But now that I'm getting on in years, my weaker heart really can't take such thrills anymore. For now, I'm contented with my daily morning brisk walks!

So, how about you?
Do you have any outrageous dreams while you were younger?
