Clair is coming! Clair is coming!

So I'm not entirely convinced that I need to make friends who live in HK. Between my high powered career friends who are being sent to HK for work, and DJ supplying random ppl visiting town - I should be kept busy enough with visitors, to not have to worry about locals ;)
So its Thursday night and I did have the option to go meet some people (strangers) in a pub for a drink, but instead vegging on the couch, planning an early night.
My plan for the next 2 wks is as follows:
tomorrow (friday) - work (lots of paper work) and hopefully getting invited out for some drinks - maybe...
This wkend - nothin planned yet, but who knows what will come up. I'm definately trying to be positive. Oh and I need to fit in a massage (how long have i been saying this?)
Next monday - tuesday - working including a couple of real life trianing session
wednesday - more paperwork ;)
Thursday - day off!! fly to Tokyo. Arrive Tokyo in the avo, tour around by myself, staying in the luxury of ANA
Friday - working in the Tokyo office - running 5 sessions! I hope they like me (need to convince them they need to bring me over for more training!) Out with the guys from the Tokyo office.
Saturday - meeting up with new friend Bonnie to explore Tokyo, and hit the Ben Harper concert. Cant wait!!
Sunday - spend the day in Tokyo, get back to HK 10pm. And Clair arrives!!
Mon - Wed : work and HANG OUT WITH CLAIR!!!
thursday: post clair, post tokyo - hmmmm suggestions?

Harriet the Spy/ Midweek Mooching

Harriet the Spy has to choose between friends and being a spy, and she picks being a spy. A number of scenes later she renegs, and decides she wants her friends. I find myself in a similar predicament. I want my friends but am forced to choose the life of a spy. Tough I know. Lonely. Dangerous. And yet still I follow this path. Oh the bravery!
No work today. Midweek moochery. Another HK public holiday, this one due to the fact a chinese poet commited suicide by dragging himself in the river many many yrs ago. But seriously whats the point of a wednesday public holiday? It was nice breaking the week up, but I have that awful sunday night feeling yet again this wk.
Woe is me. I have attemped a number of social sittings but I still find myself home alone more than Macauley Culkin. Everyone else in HK seems to be out all the time, except me. They all seem to be having fun at bars and yet i dont fit in. Oh and I meet people, and on the first meeting they seem really cool, and then on the second meeting I start comparing them to people I know and love. Oh she's not as cool as Jen, he's not as lovely as Will, she's not as fun as RM.(etc)
So people if you know any potential friends in HK, I need them NOW!

At least theres crap tv to comfort me - tonights dose - Mean Girls - ooooh ;)

Would love to stay and chat but going to meet Schwarzy!!!

So Schwarzy's in town!! Woohoo. She arrived sunday morning, very randomly, for work for 3 days and we managed to catch up yesterday for some shopping, and also a reunion with mira-le. After an awful day of work (today), were ive felt pretty sick, i met a very cool candian chick for coffee and meeting schwarzy for dinner. The canadian chick is also going to Tokyo for Ben Harper concert, and although she's married, I think were going to be friends. She might be my favourite new friend, we shall see. Oooh and gay boy texted me this morning - so I may actually be getting some friends!
Oh and Shaun of the dead is on TV, this seems like a very amusing film. (well the 7 mins ive seen so far are...)
