I love to make a list.
There's this unusual calm feeling when you have laid out all these things jumble up inside your head. From an everyday to-do-list to things I want to do in life, once I scrabble it on a piece of paper, I feel happy! Weird? No. Maybe . Ah, you can call me a list-er!
As some of you may read before, I once made a list of my personal top
15 Favourite Romance Movies. Though I didn't manage to complete the list ( excuses, I know! ), my mind still kept thinking of other interesting topic to list down.
So, since now I have a Label Section in this blog, I thought it'll be great to have a category with the tittle MY LIST in it. It'll be a folder with all my whatever-I-want to-syok sendiri-list lists. Yes, the name title is quite cliche', boring if you want to add, but thesaurus apparently doesn't help me too much this time around. Haha.
Personally, the lists will sets as a reminder.
But of course, I want to share it with you guys too! (ewah, pikir readers gituhh). So to kickstart, I made a personal goal list, one that I thought thoroughly ; a list of 25 Books I Have to Read by 25 Years Old.
Reason for doing so is, I'm afraid I'll no longer read story books once I'm in my koas and housemanship years. It'll be a pity if I pass reading this good books. In the list, I added some classical english books. Kononnya nak challenge diri lah. Baca Pride and Prejudice pon macam nak pengsan, macam mana la nanti! Ahaks.
I do have doubt I'll finish it. Macam cita-cita tinggi pulak. But time will tell.
So here goes:
