This post is an entry to the Star Wars Moleskine giveaway by Avalon.ph
Yes, I still owe a post about the last day of our trip – more Joon time, Victoria Peak, the Symphony of Lights, and a final stroll around Tsim Sha Tsui – but I couldn’t resist entering Avalon.ph’s raffle. The prize is a Star Wars Moleskine. How freaking awesome is that? š
I first heard about Star Wars during the summer of 1998. We were staying in my dad’s cousin’s house in Florida. My dad was on a couch, watching some movie on VHS. Being the curious/annoying child that I was, I decided to pepper him with questions while he was watching the movie.
Me: “Who’s the tall guy with the funny mask?”
Dad: “That’s Darth Vader.”
Me: “Who’s the short guy in black?”
Dad: “That’s the Emperor.”
Me: “What are they doing?”
Dad: “Sit down and watch the movie.”
The movie was “Return of the Jedi“. Little did I know that this movie (and the two more that I watched relentlessly on VHS, plus the three new movies I caught on opening day) would change my life forever.
