My newest fan, Loony a.ka. ColourfulWorld tagged me with this “Gotta Get Goals” meme in which I am supposed to share with you my ultimate goals before I die.
Well I see this meme (originally started by Alex Shalman — he’s using one of my favourite themes on his site) as one of the best — and probably most efficient — ways for us bloggers to identify other bloggers who have similar goals/tastes/views on life/favourites as we do. I mean, one of the reasons we do memes is to find our own social circle, no? And well, besides getting the linky loves *smiles*
Seriously, the ONLY goal I’d love to achieve before I die, is to have lots and lots of money going into my bank account every-single-freaking-day, so that I can:
- donate lots and lots of them to charities and old folks homes and orphanages. So that I can buy lots and lots Christmas presents for the kids. So that I can buy lots and lots of ginseng, herbal tea and what-other-traditional-teas whenever I visit the old folks home during Chinese New Year. So that I can buy lots and lots of fruit hampers when I go visiting to the hospital whenever I am free.
- set up a Turtle Fund to help students who are interested to run turtle/conservation projects. Being a student myself, I understand how difficult it is to have to work (part-time) and at the same time study/work on one’s research. So I want to be able to set up a fund to help deserving students so that they do not have to worry about their school fees, and so that they can concentrate solely on their research.
- buy myself a big house, with lots of land space for my Mum to do her gardening, a huge library for my sister to do her research and a TV room with a big screen so that my sister doesn’t go complaining, “Jie, the TV is so small.” Ouh, and I must remember to hire a domestic helper so that my Mum doesn’t secretly climb on chairs-on-tables to clean the fans or chandeliers or air-conditioning units.
Aiya, I can’t think anymore.
I’m thinking about the Deluxe King room in which we’re going to stay for 2 nights during the Annual Seminar which will be held at Awana Kijal from May 2nd to 4th. Awana Kijal, here I come!!
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
That’s a simple goal. Good luck getting there !
Blog about the Awana experience ya .. ?
I’d like to have a lot of money too so I could buy a house and get my life situated and figured out and help my son in more ways than I can now.
My only goal would be having lots of fun, health and money.
Moz: Thank you, and I will blog about the Awana experience, definitely!
Jenny & Green: Good luck to you!

Good motives for your goals, Pelf.
Don’t need a library for research anymore, eh, Pelf? Just need an Ovid account.
You’re listed as a “Thinking Blog”! Tell us what blog you think are Thinking Blogs too.
ColourfulWorld: Shhh…
Bernard: OVID is free? I’m not aware of it until I did a search on it *chuckles* And you seem to have an eye for detail, huh? I’ll sit down with that Thinking Blog award thingy soon
Unfortunately, no.. OVID is a subscription service. But it’s easier to search than a library :-)
Bernard: I just realized what you meant by “listed as a Thinking Blog” when I read your post! I thought you were referring to the button on my sidebar! *blushes* Thank you, thank you
