As inspired by Caleb. 100 things, with the ones you've actually accomplished in bold. I thought I'd add a small commentary after each one.

1. Started your own blog
Pretty obvious, this. Unfortunately I no longer write in it on a regular basis because the matters that occupy my mind in real life cannot be blogged about, due in no small part to a book project and an upcoming April event. I do feel like I am neglecting this and will probably start up again soon.
2. Slept under the stars
3. Played in a band
I have played in a string quartet, if that counts at all.
4. Visited Hawaii
5. Watched a meteor shower
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland
8. Climbed a mountain
9. Held a praying mantis
My brother and I caught it in the garden of our old house on Shelford Road. We gazed at it for a bit and then we let it go.
10. Sang a solo
Many times, the most infamous of which was in Secondary school. I still wonder what I was thinking, but at least I made a stab at burlesque before it was "revived".
11. Bungee jumped
12. Visited Paris
13. Watched a lightning storm
This scares me shitless. It really does, ever since Cuifen and Esther told me about the bolt of lightning that nearly struck them in RJC.
14. Taught yourself an art form from scratch
15. Adopted a child
16. Had food poisoning
In my childhood, yes. I hope to God it doesn't happen again.
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty
18. Grown your own vegetables
Again, a childhood thing. This involved tomatoes and chillis. The chillis were more successful and I ate them regularly. They were very spicy.
19. Seen the Mona Lisa
20. Slept on an overnight train
Was going from Amsterdam to Rome. I watched the Rhine until it got too dark to see. Kept getting roused by border policemen in search of drugs.
21. Had a pillow fight
Younger brothers are good for this. Not to mention younger cousins and Primary School sleepovers.
22. Hitchhiked
Together with four male friends, in Austria. I'm not sure if this counts as hitchhiking, but we got a lift from some random Schengen when we missed the last bus. That is why learning foreign languages is a very good thing.
23. Taken a sick day when you’re not ill
Seriously, which 9-to-7-er hasn't? Seriously?
24. Built a snow fort
25. Held a lamb
26. Gone skinny dipping
This happened once, with D. It was very cold. It was also not repeated.
27. Run a marathon
28. Ridden in a gondola in Venice
29. Seen a total eclipse
30. Watched a sunrise or sunset
At the beach, a long time ago. It seemed like so much work for so little.
31. Hit a home run
32. Been on a cruise
It had nice food and can-can dancers. I was very bored. This resulted in my eating a lot of food and then walking around Malacca - the destination of the cruise - rather listlessly.
33. Seen Niagara Falls in person
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
I'm not sure I want to visit the places where my Hokkien ancestors come from. They sound like fairly brutal towns. Need to brush up on my staring and bottle-smashing first.
35. Seen an Amish community
36. Taught yourself a new language
I've never taught myself. Too stupid.
37. Had enough money to be truly satisfied
38. Seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in person
39. Gone rock climbing
40. Seen Michelangelo’s David
41. Sung karaoke
At a K-Box back in the BT days. The music videos were surreal.
42. Seen Old Faithful geyser erupt
43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant
Strangers have bought me meals, though.
44. Visited Africa
45. Walked on a beach by moonlight
Again, this happened with D in Bali. We'd had a massive, delicious meal and were looking for the club with a bungee jump. It was too early, so we went for a walk.
46. Been transported in an ambulance
Nearly. I was hit by a car in Germany and an ambulance was sent for. I was still all right enough to walk.
47. Had your portrait painted
48. Gone deep sea fishing
49. Seen the Sistine Chapel in person
Yes, in Rome. Rome is a very moving place.
50. Been to the top of the Eiffel Tower
51. Gone scuba diving or snorkeling
52. Kissed in the rain
D and I were walking on the moors. Of course it had to start raining.
53. Played in the mud
Ah, my misspent youth.
54. Gone to a drive-in theater
55. Been in a movie
56. Visited the Great Wall of China
57. Started a business
I keep telling D that we should start a World of Warcraft speculation business or an ethical gold farming firm, but he says it's illegal. I tell him it shouldn't stop any good Cantonese, but he's sceptical.
58. Taken a martial arts class
A self-defence class in Oxford and a beginner's fencing course in Singapore. I was utter shite at both. D is constantly telling me to try martial arts, but my utter shiteness might result in terrible injuries.
59. Visited Russia
I will have to do this someday.
60. Served at a soup kitchen
The Oxford Gatehouse. It's a lovely place with lovely people and the guests were wonderful to talk to. Washing dishes and making sandwiches was never so entertaining.
61. Sold Girl Scout Cookies
62. Gone whale watching
63. Got flowers for no reason
Define "no reason". I have got flowers from friends just because they felt like it.
64. Donated blood, platelets, or plasma
65. Gone skydiving
66. Visited a Nazi Concentration Camp
67. Bounced a check
68. Flown in a helicopter
69. Saved a favorite childhood toy
I still have my My Little Ponies somewhere.
70. Visited the Lincoln Memorial
71. Eaten caviar
I first ate proper caviar at the Tower Club, during some press conference luncheon thing. One of the few perks of being a journalist, I suppose.
72. Pieced a quilt
73. Stood in Times Square
74. Toured the Everglades
75. Been fired from a job
76. Seen the Changing of the Guards in London
77. Broken a bone
78. Been on a speeding motorcycle
In Thailand. To this day, I'm still surprised that my parents didn't mind.
79. Seen the Grand Canyon in person
80. Published a book
81. Visited the Vatican
The Vatican on Holy Week, no less. Many attractive priests were in attendance.
82. Bought a brand new car
83. Walked in Jerusalem
84. Had your picture in the newspaper
85. Read the entire Bible
I keep getting bogged down in the nether reaches of the Old Testament.
86. Visited the White House
87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating
88. Had chickenpox
I used a small wooden bird to pick at the itchy bits.
89. Saved someone’s life
90. Sat on a jury
91. Met someone famous
Oh yes. Indeed. Very famous.
92. Joined a book club
93. Lost a loved one
My grandfather died when I was in Oxford. It still pains me that I didn't get to say goodbye.
94. Had a baby
95. Seen the Alamo in person
96. Swam in the Great Salt Lake
97. Been involved in a law suit
98. Owned a mobile phone
It's too smart for its own good.
99. Been stung by a bee
Twice. Once I got stung on my neck and had to wear a scarf for a few days to hide the mark.
100. Read an entire book in one day
This has happened many times. I almost feel guilty.

31/100.
