The Bucket List
Salam alaykum …
The picture here has a meaning to it. It’s a stop sign, yes. And it means, that my travel plans have been shelved. Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi roji’un. There must be a hikmah to all these happenings…Allahou3alam.
Anyway, I am intrigued by this “Bucket list”. I had been tagged by Hajar Alwi.
”Simply state any number of goals you want to achieve in the next 8-10 years. Let them be small goals, big goals, silly goals. It is always nice to think about a bucket list, write it down, and share it. But most importantly, tag others to do the same when you are done and link back to the person who tagged you.”
2. Year | End of my career break and to start anew in my new job soon, inshaAllah (God-willing).
3. Year | To do Umrah & ziarah Baitulmaqdis with family, inshaAllah.
4. Years | To speak Arabic confidently
5. Years | To travel to China, this time to Xinjiang i.e. The Silk Road - Hajar, are you interested in this? If yes, maybe inshaAllah we could work something out , a trip to the Xinjiang region 
?
6. Years | Open my very own cafe with a traveller’s theme. InshaAllah!
7. Years | Settle down, if the one comes along
8. Years beyond | Hopefully my life, together with all those around me, always be blessed with imaan with the mercy of Allah swt.
So, that’s it. My small bucket list…hehehe
Next, I’d like to tag Ranjini 
Lookin up to brighter years ahead, inshaAllah!

maybe I should create one too!
Yeah!! U should.. I’ve tagged u to do it gal…Maybe your bucket list will be longer than mine? Hehe
Assalamualaikum,
Splendid list! TEFL eh? Best of luck at it! ^^
Seems that we have quite a few things in common.
Xinjiang sounds fabulous. It’d be amazing if we can actually pull it off. Owh, and I’ll definitely pop-over to you cafe. Insya’Allah.
~Aih … oddly how I never mention about ‘the one’. It really is one of the more popular wishes.
W’salam,

Wa alaikum assalam
Hehe..thanks! I appreciate the best wishes ‘cos my ‘proper English’ skills have really gone rusty
Yeah..Xinjiang sounds absolutely fabulous. I watched Nat Geo Adventure TV the other day, and there was this programme, “Somewhere in China”, where the 2 hosts went to Xinjiang, The Silk Road was also part of their China journey. It was amazing, mashaAllah. And the region is a predominantly Muslim population with the Hui Ghinese nationality and also the Kazakhs. i could go on…
I really hope I could visit the region, inshaAllah.
And, lastly and surely not forgotten is the topic on ‘the one’. It’s DEFINITELY gotta be one of the popular wishes among (those who are still seeking) singles. I am included
Rabbana Hablana min azwaajina wadhurriy-yatina, qurrata ‘ayioni wa-jalna lil-muttaqeena Imaama. Amin.
Well then, that makes the two of us.
Nat Geo … I reckon I must have watched that sometime ago as that sounds oddly familiar. I’m bent on going to Guangzhou cos I’ve always wanted to visit the Huaisheng Mosque plus my friend is there.
Aish~ I presume I’m in the other group. Single, yet not seeking. *?*
W’salam,
