2023 365 Days: Dream come true
13 - Make Your Dream Come True Day: Have you ever had a dream come true? Care to tell the story?
I always wanted a remote control car. Dad had got sis and I one when I was 5yo? I played with it so much that I burnt the engine or it was something super cheap and quit working. Not sure. But I always wanted another one since. It finally came true when I was 36 years old! ;)
I also literally dreamt of driving a car. And I was maybe 7yo and it was a recurring dream. It was the time of cars with stick shift. No one ever heard of the automatic drive car. I had dreamt that I was driving on a highway and I only had to hit the gas pedal and the brake pedal. Everyone would be laughing. ha haha... In Malaysia, we have to learn on a stick shift to get a license. Afterwards, you can drive whatever. So, I drove dad's car and once it was on a highway where briefly it was an empty stretch of road and I was hitting the gas pedal and driving. It had reminded me of my recurring dream from childhood!! So, who's laughing now!! :P
14 - International Kite Day: Have you ever flown a kite? Have you ever been to a kite festival? Have you ever flown a kite at a kite festival?
15 - World Snow Day: Does it snow where you live? If not, have you ever seen snow? If yes, what do you think of snow?
16 - Nothing Day: Should we observe this day by not asking a question? Is it literally possible to do nothing?
17 - Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day: Do you make New Year's resolutions? If so, how successful are you at keeping them?
18 - Thesaurus Day: Do you own a thesaurus? How often do you consult a thesaurus to find just the right word?
19 - Popcorn Day: Do you like popcorn? What is your favourite topping for popcorn? Or do you prefer it plain?
20 - Take a Walk Outdoors Day: Is being outdoors important to you? How often do you spend time outside/in nature? Do you have easy access to parks or walking trails or other natural areas (e.g. the beach)? Do you feel any benefit if you make the effort to go out into nature? Do you try to get outside regularly? Depending on where you live, January might not be the best month for marking Take a Walk Outdoors Day - do you find it more difficult to venture outdoors in the winter?
21 - International Sweatpants Day: Thanks to Covid, many of us have probably lived in sweatpants for the better part of the last couple of years. If this is true for you, has that experience impacted your choice of "work" clothes? Do you now seek out non-sweatpants trousers that mimic sweatpants, e.g. elasticized/drawstring waistbands, stretchier material, etc.? If Covid didn't really impact your clothing choices, do you wear sweatpants?
22 - Celebration of Life Day: Every now and then, it’s a good idea to take some time off so you can refocus yourself. It’s about stepping back and looking at your life from a different perspective so that you can appreciate everything that you have. How would you celebrate your life? What can you be proud of having achieved?

29 - Curmudgeons' Day: What is a curmudgeon? Do you know any curmudgeons? What do you think of them? Today is also Freethinkers' Day. Do you think a curmudgeon might be just a freethinker?
30 - Bubble Wrap Day: Does bubble wrap deserve its own day? Why or why not?
31 - Backward Day: National Backward Day is a fun day that encourages us to do things in an order that we would not usually do them in! Have you ever taken part in a backward day? How did it go?
