If I have 1 million dollar, what I want to do???


Wow! Money of 1 million? Too much I want to do to use one million carefully. The first thing I want to pay back all my loans and debts PTPTN. Then I want to buy my dream car the Bugatti Veyron and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Hahaha. Seems like all my dreams will come true. Then I would like to bring my beloved family go on holiday too many places. Then I want to go to Manchester to watch my football team that is Manchester United that my pride all season. Too much I want to do but everything is high fantasy. Hahahahah. I also dreams of marrying my dream girl. Sounds a bit embarrassing, but thats what all men dream of. Hehehe. Finally I want to perform the hajj to fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a Muslim. -THE END-
