Snapshots of Life!

5:19pm HongKong

I've finally arrived in Kowloon...dead tired and thirsty because i slept most of my flight from Chicago to Hongkong (missed my meals).

It was exactly a year back when i came to HongKong on a school-sponsored trip for 2 weeks. The skies are as polluted as I remember. It's like a thick white blanket (sometimes yellow) that has covered the skyline...not that there's much to see from the airport since we are surrounded by mountains.

The last 24 hours were a mixture of excitement, dread, nervousness....a little bit of sadness when i bade my family farewell (i wonder when i'll see my sisters again); but also a strange sense of determination towards the coming year.

I've already started forming a mental checklist of the things I want to accomplish in the next 12 months, the things I want to do, the people i have to stay in touch with and the personal goals i have to fulfill. It's the same as always, i don't want to walk away from the coming year with regrets.

I keep asking myself "if tomorrow were the last day on earth, what would I want to have done so that i can have no regrets in life?"

Okay...time to go get water from Watsons.
p/s: drats, i can't get onto GMAIL! :(
