What would you do if you won the big Sweep?

This place reeks of pessimism and well it stinks of depression too. To brighten things up a little (since I have tendered blah...and the world seems sunnier and warmer), let's do a stomp thing too. Courtesy from of course stomp although I am not a star blogger and will never be but anyway just a convenient topic lifted to discuss. So here goes..What would you do if you won the big Sweep? Think $2 mil.

Firstly, $2 mil can be gone in the blink of an eye if I were to purchase, let's say, a house. I am not really up to date with property prices but I am very sure $2 mil can be splurged easily on properties. But I am not interested in getting a house cos I am perfectly happy in my sty and buying properties for investment aside...what will I do? Like what I always wanted, if I suddenly get a windfall, I'll pack myself off to Europe for a month. After which the next destination would be Seoul....probably will spend a fortnight there. That means I'll probably be gone for about 1.5 months.

Having returned home happy and contented and still left with quite a fair bit of moolah, I will pay off my university fees, give my parents a healthy amount for them to save, invest whatsoever, some to charity and the remaining...ta daaaah will go into my retirement plan. As in part of the retirement plan. Which is the farming plan. :) Always wanted to be a farmer ever since I saw plots of land for sale at Queensland, Australia when I was there 4 years ago. Heard land ain't that expensive in Ozzieland and if I still have enough cash, I'll buy myself a piece of land! Currently I feel like cultivating a vineyard but in any case, the land first. Hopefully in time to come, I will be able to build a farm house as well and grow my grapes and rear my dogs. Ha how heavenly.....away from the disgusting city life. I am still pretty much a city girl but somehow the thought of a laid back farm life, it is just too enticing. I am just lazy in that sense too although I probably need hard work with the cultivation of the crops. Ha. BUT it is a different sort of effort yah as I will be working with nature instead of killing my brain cells. Sigh how I long for that.

After all that crap above, it is time to NOT wake up and go to bed as my head is really feeling gooey right now. So that's all for now. Goodnight. :)
