Tagtime..

Its 2 PM on a very sleepy Tuesday afternoon...and since its getting difficult to stay awake, i am browsing through blogs...I came across a very interesting blog called - Title Intentionally Left blank..drawn by the 'title' (pun unintended), i read the first post and it interested me...it did make me want to jog my memory to remember what have i accomplished and it made me want to do things i have not done before i turn the Big 3!!! :O ...(as if i was not already paranoid about turning 25!!!...:S)
So this is a list of "150 things to do before i turn 30"!... i have another 5 years to go...so i figured this checklist is a good way of 'striking off' what i have accomplished and 'ticking' what i want to do!!!! PS: maybe this will stop me from dozing off at work.. lol...
