Bucket list!!!!!! \(^^)/

My 'old' wish list

I made that three years ago. None has yet to be realized but... mostly will be realized hurm.. by next year \(^^)/ except for number 4 & 5 since I only played paintball once since I graduated and I don't know who I can go with to climb the rest of G7 whose peaks I haven't conquered. So.. I've made a mental list of things that I wanna do and places I wanna go and now I wanna put it here  :)

1. ICELAND!!!!!!!!!

Most of the things that I wanna do basically can be done here. I did my research and estimated the whole budget. The package rate for the activities are alright but the flight tickets are pricey! I've routed the trip; most probably gonna spend around 3-4 days there. And now it's the watchful waiting time; waiting for the best deals from MAS and easyjet (^^) yosh!

What I wanna do there? Surprisingly, they have almost everything. From glacier, to wild rapids and even whale watching!

2. New Zealand

I bet this should be almost everybody's dream destination. It's the beauty of nature, I guess. Lets say even if I did most of the activities that can be done here already, I will do it again :)



3. Kilimanjaro (^^)

 I remember being offered to join an expedition to Kilimanjaro a few years back. Cost around RM 3k - RM 5k but I'm not so sure what was included with that price. But I was only a student back then who has no saving by the end of every semester and my parents definitely won't approve it especially if it involves their money haha Now, I have more freedom to make my own decision. Here, I just wanna enjoy the scenic landscape and watch the animals run free in the safari. The chances to see them wild animals are higher in Africa since they don't hide behind thick bushes. Z repeatedly said this during our trip in Kinabatangan hahaha



4. Fujiyama, Japan

I've always fond of this snow-capped yama . It wasn't in my list until Z mentioned it was one of Karl P's destination in 'An Idiot Abroad'. There was also an offer to climb Mt Fuji during my study but similarly, it was financial matter that hindered me from going. So, yeah, now that money is no longer an issue, I'll definitely going to Fujiyama if I've the time to. Did my quick research. You can't climb it all year round so the trip should be best between June and July *June and July should be longer. It seems to be the best time everywhere!*



5. Hawaii, Bora bora & Galapagos Island

This should be my ultimate dream destination since it is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is far off from being a budget destination.. I don't mind if this comes to reality in my forties or even fifties because this is pure relaxation destination especially Bora bora. Hawaii seems to offer lots of adventure so maybe in my forties I should be able to go there Em.. Sabahan and Sarawakian seem to be stronger in their forties. I remember my mom beat me in a marathon when she was 45 *malu tu sampai sekarang* and I once saw one Sarawakian lady did >10 push ups and she should be in her late forties as well.. so I hope I'm that strong by the time I'm in Hawaii :P There are direct flights from Japan to Hawaii and Hawaii to Bora bora :)



6. South America (^^)

I'm planning to go during the World  Cup 2014. Gonna watch one game and then off I go for my ultimate South America exploration \(^^)/ I still have no idea how I'm going to save for this but I will do it! YOSH! The flight ticket alone cost RM 8K! Mati la ni.... But lets say I can't make it in 2014, I'm okay to postpone it to another year



I actually have a long list! But I'll stop up until here. I didn't include Jordan & Israel because I need to join a tour package for that and that's a big turn off.

You know, I really hate it when people say, "Ko ni melancong je. Pi Mekah x mau.." It's really annoying.. To me going to Mecca is entirely spiritual and it is something that I want to do with the whole family and not with friends. Plus, I don't think the intention to go to Mekah is something to brag about because it is ENTIRELY spiritual and generally speaking, every Muslim wants to go there! So, scram you who said that to me!

Hurm.. Now... thinking of strategies to maximize my saving... Adios!
