I wrote the below for myself when I was in sec 4 i think. it's fragmented, which is how i write all the time. Do you recognise the bits that were influenced by lp's travels? they are the berlin wall bit and the swarovski stationery bit.


Some things I would like to do in this life

visit the last of the ancient wonders of the world: pyramid Giza
see for myself the tomb of coffin of King Tut [all that gold $_$]
live in the desert for a time
or at least get to traipse through Cairo's bazaars. fully-clothed of course
I won't mind trekking the Silk Road. and see if I end up in China
If there I would like to go to the world's most elegant city: Hangzhou. famed for its visual and gastronomic delights, even the royalty came and rest their souls here
Hey, what's good for the Emperor's good for me. Who knows, I may even compose my Nobel award winning poem. That'd stun the world, myself included.

I want to stand on the sites of the ancient wonders, esp the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Skyrise greenery is the thing now in the city and S'pore could take a cue from there. But I'm not sure if any bit of it remains.

I wanna spend a night in the 'toxic' beaches of Thailand. Eat real red ruby.

Go 'City of love' the world's fashion capital.
visit factories & assure its guards I am a S'porean, not a copies-churning Chinese from China. What irony! I think I am just that! Hmmm...

Sit the Eurostar through the English Channel. to London.
Grey, gloomy & wet. My kind of weather. my kind of city.

I wanna visit the libraries , esp the one, ugh, forget it, can't even remember its name.
I wanna sit in the stands during a match b/n Oxford & Cambridge & feel the tension generated by famous or rather infamous Oxbridge rivalry.
I'd decide which side to sit on that day.

I wanna read entire ss of The Chalet School.
Visit Switzerland.
Eat chocolates, lots of chocolates. & go to Belgium to look got more, much more chocolate. I don't want some cocoa mass!! or milk chocolate. I want real true blue. dark chocolate
bittersweet. The real McCoy (not exactly the best Pl to put this word, I know). I'd hoard them.
I wanna visit Berlin Wall.
Buy Swarovski crystals studded -stationery.

I wanna learn Latin, Ancient Greek!

So many Pl, so little time, even lesser resources. [nice word] ;)

Argh.

My dream:
Roam the world at will.

I know I should really be a nomad
