Haha I guess this list will change as different things become important to me (or lose their importance) over time, but for the 20-year-old me, this is the bucket list (in no particular order):

1. Do a photography project
I've been wanting to do this ever since I started taking photos with a DSLR, and would really love to see a photography project come to fruition. Some ideas that have been tossed around/projects that inspire me:

• going around to take photos of people smiling. This was a worldwide project, but I can't find the link for it anymore. I remember Ji Inn was the one who first shared it with me.
• taking photos of different people's rooms, especially the little details that spell "home" to them. Actually this idea was someone else's, when he was just saying he would like to do it and see what people's rooms are like. For me I would want to focus on the little details because I am a details person (sometimes) and I think the best part about anything is how it expresses you.
• Humans of New York. This is my favourite project.I like the way they write the captions especially-in a question-and-answer way that sometimes results in a rather quirky effect-because it is so expressive of the individual and what the photo has captured. I don't know if the effect is intended, but sometimes it is quite funny/smart/witty, even about the most mundane things (like doing crossword puzzles). Great photography, and great words! When I read a bit about the motivation for the project, I liked it all the more. It achieves its purpose of 'humanising' the people of New York since New York is always seen as a city that doesn't stop for people. https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork. And I don't think it applies only to New York, there are many countries that are seen in terms of their culture but not the individual people that make it up.
• http://www.boredpanda.com/creative-kids-photography-jason-lee/. This reminds me of an Archives magazine I have, which has a collection of posters. I like how out-of-the-box and fun it is. 
• Another cool project (shared by Gummy Bear): http://www.viralnova.com/everyday-objects-art/ 

2. Live in a vintage-y room 
Even though I like the room I stay in now, I couldn't really do everything I wanted because of school restrictions. I've been in/seen a lot of vintage-style shops and rooms, and it would be really lovely to do one of my own. And one that I will preferably stay in for a while, if not permanently, so I can add on as I go along. It's always the clutter around a room that makes it look lived-in.

3. Fall in love
Because I guess, I would want to know what the magic is all about. Haha actually I think we learn a lot about ourselves and other people in the whole process of building a relationship.

4. Have a loving family
In the words of my friend, "You'll never be happy being a housewife." But actually I'm a homebody at heart. I have always pictured a loving family, one that is open about its problems and open about loving each other.

5. Live a happy and fulfilling life
I guess if you ask what I want to do before I die, that's what I want to do. Even if it's only for a period, though I hope it lasts as long as possible. Then I would die happy. To me the picture of a happy and fulfilling life balances everything:

• faith in God 
• your interests and self-development
• time with family and growth as a family 
• pursuing and fulfilling your interests/ambitions (i.e. your career) 

On the career aspect, I would want a job that is creative, explores new ideas, makes a real difference, and works with people.Tough aspiration, but it may not be that impossible in the end.

6. Have lifelong friendships, or at least friends in my life at the time of my death 
I've always placed a lot of value on friendships, and sometimes keeping up friendships feels like a futile resistance against time and growing apart. I love imagining how we will all grow up and still be around in each other's lives, reminiscing about old memories and creating new ones, having big gatherings with our spouses and kids tagging along. And I guess even if that doesn't happen, I hope I will always have a group of good friends at any time in life because friendship makes life that much sweeter and more bearable.

7. Have a writing project
Surprisingly, this might take more pushing than the photography project because writing is already something I do, in one form or another. So it'll take something to move me to the next level and actually commit to a writing project (perhaps on a larger scale of what we are doing with Sundae Scribbles). Maybe a lot of courage and inspiration. I see myself doing this later on in life, and maybe when I'm a housewife-who-can't-be-a-housewife :p. In my ideal life, I would work in an environment buzzing with creativity and love for what we're doing, then sometime if/when I have kids, I would start working from home, writing professionally and publishing online. (I just think it's important to be there for kids when they're growing up. You might not be the best parent, but being available, being there is better than being a ghost in your own child's life. Ultimately though, circumstances will decide that).

8. Read widely 
I think good writing comes from reading widely, and one of the many things I love about reading is how it can take you to such different parts of the world and teach you a million and one interesting things you never knew. Or even, completely new ways of seeing something as mundane as a teacup (makes me want to re-read The Alchemist). 

9.  See my parents enjoy life
This is becoming more of a wish-list, than a bucket list. But I would want to see my own parents enjoy life, and for our family to live peaceably together :).

10. For my loved ones to be happy 
P.S. I love you left an impression on me because of the idea of making sure that your loved one moves on, happy, even after your death. So I guess if I had the chance, before I die, I would want to prepare something like that for my loved ones. If my death was sudden though, I wouldn't have such a chance. Maybe we should write parting letters periodically, the way we write our wills early. 

I took a long time to ponder over this, and I guess it's cause I choose happiness in the present moment. At various points in my life, I think, "Yup, I'm happy," and feel that even if I died the next day, I wouldn't have regrets. It's not that there isn't a lot I want to do (there is), but we have no control over when we die or where we go in life (not totally), so if you find happiness now and everyday, you would be ready to go at any moment. A lot of the things listed are long-term goals, pictures of the life I want to live. That is essentially the spirit of a bucket list for me: the life you want to live before your death. There aren't really big milestones I want to hit, just ideals I want to realize in my own life.

Happy living,
