The Bucket List
Winning Entry: Geraldine Tan, ICA
- Go on a world tour with my husband and baby daughter, taking as many photos as possible
- Make a list of my assets for them
- Learn to cook for them
- Make a will to distribute assets among family
- Try not to cry on my last day
I thought I could list the top five things in a breeze but while doing so, I felt sadness thinking what if 2012 was really my last year. There’re tons of things I’ve yet to experience such as seeing my daughter talk… So I’ll continue to live life like my last year so there’ll be no regrets! “Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory” – Author unknown

- Write a book. I’ve had friends and loved ones who left this world without bidding goodbye. I’d planned to write letters to those who’ve played a role in my life but I might not reach everybody. So I’ll compile the letters into a book and distribute it while I’m alive. I would want to thank them personally before I go!
- See the aurora borealis or northern lights
- Stay in an ice hotel in Sweden
- Do the Matthew Harding dance around the world (Find him on YouTube!)
- Participate in country festivals such as the Water Festival in Thailand or Burning Man in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada
