PASS or FAIL

So a couple of days ago i found some of my old journals...at the beginning of each journal was a list of things i wanted to accomplish in the year...one list was entitled "100 things i want to do before i die".  It's quite an interesting read.  I thought i would share a few of the ones i have either passed, not quite, or failed at MISERABLY.  How bout i share 29...one for each year i've been alive...here goes.

8.  Go to Dream World

PASS - Not only did i go to dream world...but i wore a dress on all the rides.  It was part of a Y.S.A conference i went too.  I didn't think we would actually have to wear a dress to the ball...so i didn't pack a ball dress...so i'm wearing a dress that was a bit too big and super flowy...and had to be pinned at the back...was awesome when going on rides that went upside down...but i got good leg exercise from trying to hold it down.

9.  See the Hong Kong Temple

PASS - It's across the road from Jackie Chans house too...we tried peaking over the fence to get a good look...but it's well guarded.  Hmmm...jackie Chan...living in the light of the Temple.
