Finally, we take this incredible challenge!!!

One month ago, my wife, Rebecca, surfed the internet aimlessly, and suddenly found there is a promotion in the website of Singapore Airline, which is a special discount about round-trip ticket from Taiwan to Sydney. She was excited, and then asked me immediately "How about planning to watch the fireworks in Sydney in the end of this year?"

In the beginning, I was excited, but we soon found it is almost impossible after only 1 day. We had a lot of tasks needed to be done, for example passing TOEFL test, selling our house, (maybe)submitting application to University in USA, etc. The time is insufficient for us. Thus, if we increased this plan in this year, it is a action of committing suicide. So, we gave up it.

Last weekend, we went to Mountain Young-Ming, and after dinner, we visited Secret Garden to had some drinks. During that, we chatted a lot of stupid and crazy anecdotes happended on us in University. After that, when we arrived our sweet home, Rebecca told me she found her life is so dull, and she was jealous of us.

I felt she was depressed, and then I asked her "Do you want to create a crazy story of your life? How about taking the challenge of visiting Sydney in the end of this year?" In the following days, I made a lot of efforts on convining her that if we don't try it now, we will never have chance to try it. There is a word in the movie of Island Etude said "If you don't try to accomplish something now, you will never have chance to do it."

Today, my wife screws up her courage to ask vice-president for leave and book the round-trip tickets. Finally, we take this incredible challenge!!!
