(Him: Charlie)
Looking out the window from our Shatin apartment – City One
is unsparingly radiating its suburb sleepiness and laziness on this late fall Saturday.
With mild sunshine and cool northeasterly breeze soothing the otherwise
distressed crowd, the busy intersection below seems particular calm and,
believe it or not, tranquil today. It is the best season in Hong Kong after all
(fall). And it is the beautiful weather that reminds me that Jo and I have been
here for 1 year! I still remember the first weather-related news when we first
landed in Hong Kong, that a cold weather warning was forecasting a temperature
drop to 19 deg C. Interestingly, a year later, we are bracing for another
significant drop to 16 deg C in a few days.
Time flies, but looking back the last 12 months, there’s
much worth reminiscing! Out of everything, the biggest milestone is definitely
our memorable Koh Samui wedding. In my opinion, it couldn’t have been better. I
like its simplicity, its fun, and most importantly, with many great friends,
family and relatives. Having another person entering my day-to-day life is a
change to both of us and it comes with challenges, but the companionship and
the ability to share life is exactly what marriage is about, so I am quite
enjoying our journey together, especially an adventurous one. Over the last
year, we made new friends, grew in our career, explored new places both locally
and internationally, and personally, I completed one o the greatest physically
challenges of my life – completing the 100km Oxfam Trailwalker! We look forward
to another amazing year ahead!
