After I was made redundant by the company in August . I decided to embark on a road trip to the Outback which one task which I need to fulfill while I am still alive ( bucket list ).
Some said that I am adventurous while others described me as crazy. The true is I was lost, lost about career path, lost about friends, lost about relationship, lost about family, lost about my next whereabouts and lost about my future.
There are many things which I always wanted to try and accomplish. I only managed to finish maybe 1/5 of them. The problem is I can't have everything, sacrifices have to made.
During the journey, I encountered many daunting situations. Lost my way, tripped in the storm, worried about the wild animals, strangers, loneliness , car stuck in the sand
and mud, and worst of all hit a kangaroo at high speed in the dark.
I was lucky to escape unharmed however the poor kangaroo was killed instantly upon the impact and the car rolling over it thereafter. Its not the car which I am concern about, its the poor innocent life which had been taken away by me in a flash. I killed an animal not for its meat or fur which is unacceptable for my belief. This made me a murderer...
Nevertheless, I managed to get over the incident gradually with helps of existing friends and new friends whom I made along the way. Most importantly, is I realized that I should treasure every of the moments while I am still alive. Attempt stuffs which I always wish to do as I never know what might happen to me tomorrow.
It was a life changing experience for me and I am grateful that I was given a chance to do it.
