Let me panic for a moment. 

I am an obsessive planner. I want things to be in place from the mundane day to day activities to special events in life. My friends and loved ones could attest how I would get frustrated if my plans don't go by the clockwork. Well, let's just say I like to be in control. 

However, It was a revelation for me to realize after reading Cody's own bucket list in Thrilling Heroics that I haven't really thought of having one myself. I tried to list down things I wanted to do before but they're mainly wish lists and really sporadic. I really liked his idea of listing them into three relevant categories: Enabling Goals, Adventures to Have and Do and Places to Travel and Landmarks to see. It follows the basic rubrics of planning and execution and therefore a more grounded and realistic in terms of setting goals.

So, here is my own bucket list that I like to call my AWESOME LIST. This list would grow from time to time as I go along my journey and discover something new.

Visiting Hong Kong will not be complete unless you drop by (one of) the happiest place on Earth - Hong Kong Disneyland

The year is almost over and although I am in still searching for a new break in my career since the second half of June, I am still doing fine (well, minus the occasional episodes).
