Being a S/O on a 747 is a long way away from what you said your dream was. I'm no expert on Cathay Pacific, but from what I've read Second Officers don't normally make take offs or landings outside of the simulator. I'm not knocking your CFI, just facing facts. Living in Hong Kong is exciting to some people as is flying international routes. (I get both of those in my current job and they are cool.) If that's your hot button, the CP is a quick route to that end. Last I checked (a while ago) CP wanted 1000 TT & 100 ME for second officers. That's in the realm of the possible for anyone who wants it badly enough.
