LOL.
Well, actually, it's not that I want to pass away soon or what, it's just that I want to share something that has never been in my mind until I finally turned 21. So, this is not really only about the bucket list, but it's more on how turning 21 has actually changed (and disturbed) my mind in living life.
Many young people say that self turmoils will eventually really bother you on the day you turn 21. I don't know if this is just some sort of suggestions given by people around me or not, but it's somewhat true that after I turned 21 last August, I started to think about what are the things that I have done and what are my plans for the future... that is already very near. Yes, in my mind, my future will eventually turn into life reality when I graduate from university next semester.
I'm not going to discuss about my plans for the future here, as thinking about it makes me feel nervous from time to time, for I will very soon leave this "unreal reality" of being a student in college. I'm not going to discuss about what things that I have done either, as I don't think I have done many significant things in my life especially for other people... ._. so, instead, I'm just going to discuss my "happy yuppy" plans before I die. That's what a bucket list is for, isn't it?
I know it isn't that important, but there's nothing wrong to be unimportant when it comes to posting on a personal blog... I guess.
So, before I die, there are five things that I would really love to experience. Please note that these things are apart of my main dreams and wishes, which is not included in my bucket list, for my bucket list is, according to me, the list of things which are based on the personal fun and pleasure purpose only, as I have mentioned earlier.
5. Watch Chelsea beat Manchester United live from the Old Trafford.
Before going anywhere further, please let me address my sincere in advance apology to my mates who support Manchester United. I have no personal hatred towards you guys. Really.
Ironically, this video shows Juan Mata's goal over MU that brought Chelsea on their away victory at that moment. JUAN MATA. A former blue who is now in... MANCHESTER UNITED.
I'm not sure why, but I just want to watch this derby even more than watching Chelsea winning the London derby against Arsenal live from the Stamford Bridge or even the Emirates Stadium. Plus that I have never been to the UK in my entire life, so putting this as my bucket list is not a mistake, right? Right?
4. Ride on a hot air balloon.
Awesome, isn't it?
Anywhere will do for me, actually. Because the hot air balloon itself is already a special thing for me. But if I could choose, then Turkey would my my first preferable country to experience this.
3. Watch Armin van Buuren live from any music festival.
A picture speaks a thousand words. A video speaks even much more than that. So, I have nothing more to say for this.
2. Watch Gustavo Dudamel conducting an orchestra live, anywhere it is.
Young, handsome, talented and passionate, this guy has been able to inspire me (and a lot more people, of course) through his beautiful music. It might be just me, but classical music sounds different and rather profound under his command!
He also makes me think even further that El Sistema, which is Spanish for The System, the music program established by Maestro Abreu in which Dudamel is his protégé, can really uplift the social condition towards a country. Yes, people, sometimes we need to acknowledge that art can even be more powerful than politics!

And if I were to watch him conducting the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra playing Arturo Marquez's Danzón No. 2 live, then it would be a freaking special bonus for me!
1. Visit Brazil.
Especially during the Rio Carnival.
Or during the World Cup, someday...
Brazilian fans rooting for Brazil (obviousleeeh!!!)
Although technically I root for the Netherlands, but still, watching football live in the country of football... it would be incredible! Especially when it comes to the Netherlands beating Spain in the World Cup (again, I apologize to my mates who root for Spain. I must say that I have no personal hatred towards you, guys)!
