还记得上小学的时候老师让我们写一篇作文《2015年的世界》。
现在2015年已经过了。The bad news is that the world did not turn out to be the way I had envisioned. Maybe envision is too strong a word for a child like me back then, I probably did not even have a vision. Rather, the world I had imagined, where transportation would be much more sci-fi like. So our society did not end up developing in that way...yet.
The good news is, I have also become someone I would not have imagined when I was very young. At least, my life has been drastically different from those of my childhood friends who ended up staying in my hometown, went back to our parents' workplaces and married someone they met through their parents. 假如当年没有去新加坡，没准我的人生也就不过如此。还是很感谢妈妈的远见和坚持。
又过了一年。细细数来，我在香港也有三年多。很快的，这会成了继西安/新加坡/加州后我第四个家。我想我一开始肯定没有想过自己会在香港久留，不过人算不如天算。头几年我还真的不是特别钟情于这座城市，因为大街太挤，工作太忙，到处都上演着人与物质的戏码。不过这一年下来，我的心里对于这个地方开始变得柔软了些。当我开始真正地用心去享受工作外的时间，才发现香港虽然不是那个我想念的加州，但有些非常像加州的地方（比如11月份的天气，Duddell St上的星巴克，午后的Hong Kong Park）。在如此多元化的城市里，为什么不是幸福的呢？我终于明白了，生活方式应该更多地是自我心情的一种延伸，而不是跟着大环境随波逐流。
2016年来了。Another year, lots of new dreams. This year started on a really good note because we woke up at 4am on New Year's day to hike to Victoria Peak. I followed the Japanese tradition of praying to the first sunrise as it is supposed to carry some special power.
New Year Resolution:
1) Healthy lifestyle - sleep before 11pm and wake up at 6am. At least one gym/yoga/hiking session per week.
2) Pick up a 3rd language (either French or Japanese)
3) Learn to play the guitar (LF is supposed to give me a lesson package as Xmas gift)
4) Complete another hiking adventure
5) Travel more with my parents
6) Read at least one piece of work-related report per week + monthly PDP = I want to be an expert on our China business
7) Volunteer
8) Start using my camera more
9) Learn to cook
10) Keep up with my journal writing
其实，最重要的是我希望自己在2016中可以继续成长。活在当下，成为一个自己喜欢的，喜欢自己的女孩儿。
