Just when you think things are working out - it all goes to hell!

Woe is me! I got into work at the crack of dawn, and by 8:30 already had been irritated by a number of stupid ass users. (And no people, I am NOT the helpdesk!) When Pau-Ling rocks up at 9am, she asks how I am and I tell her "it's going to be one of those days".
I HATE IT WHEN IM RIGHT!

Most of the time at work I can ignore the fact that what I do is a total waste of time and serves no purpose whatsoever. Today it was hard to ignore. The highlight (or lowlight) of my day was an impromptu team meeting that was called by my mgr Pip. Pip is the reason I took this job - Pip is cool, Pip is fun and Pip is probably the best mgr I've had (sorry McCabe). Well who wants to guess what happened. Bloody Pip RESIGNED!
So now I'm stuck in Hong Kong, doing a job no one cares about with a manager who's never met me - and who will be managing our department along with her own - I'm sure that'll work great.

So I wandered home past a dodgy dvd store and picked up these classic buys (for less than $20 for them all)
Xmen
5th Element
Black Book (who knows, some chick flick)
White Stripes Double album
Arctic Monkeys album

And now I'm watching a very scary (in the shockingly bad way ) movie called aneconda 2 (or something) . Oh bugger the hot guy just got eaten - how annoying! (heheh he's name was Ben! He now has no legs!Oop now no head! Poor Benny!)

My dinner is smelling yummy - fish baked in tomato, olive, parsley, sauce with rice. Looks good. Then I have to clean up my kitchen. This is why I need a guy - to impress with my cooking - and tidy up after ;)

I'm sure I have plenty more to say - I had a great night out on independance day - and really like my new friends (although they haven't invited me out this wkend yet:(
Time to check out my dinner....I really need someone to impress with this cooking!

9:30pm - Dinner was yum. Watching some random local "lifestyle" show. No wonder I haven't found a hot boy here yet--> I'm watching this show about latest fashion for men (in HK) and they have one asian model and one gweilo model , and both are foul, and have less muscles than me! I shall be alone forever!

Caity's gone- independance day - and too much grog!

So I had a brilliant wk with Caity, I just dropped her at the airport train station, and now im sititng here after once again too many drinks, and this time watching an exciting abc reality show called "The Shearers". Yep you guessed it, about sheep shearers in aus - exciting stuff!
Other highlights of today - i bought a new wrap dress from Zara (thanks Trudes) - a red one, and we (for the last time) enjoyed happy hour in hong kong. Oh and the teachers invited me to join them for Independance day - so more drinkies tomorrow. Oh and I got a text from the gay boy I met on Thurs night - so at least the gay boys still love me - I haven't lost my charm! So I still have married men and gay boys - at least all ain't lost -> now back to reality tv....ABC style

Have a good flight Caity - and thanks for my new friends!

A boat full of drunken teachers!

Well it's been a busy week and to prove it I slept to 1:30 today! Was great and very needed! Caity got up at the crack of dawn to meet her friend and go to Shenzhen for massage and shopping. Apart from sleeping, I got laundry done, uploaded some photos and sorta tidied (not really). BTW my new photos are here: Nats new photos!

Thursday I had an irritating day at work (as per normal) and called up Caity to meet me at a bar near my place,that has 2 for 1 happy hour that I had wanted to check out. So we had a couple of drinks, then went to another pub to meet a friend (but missed her) had another drink, then headed to another pub for some food. We then decided to check out another pub near me, that has open mic night on thursday that I had wanted to go to for a while. A lovely bar with friendly (canadian) owners. We ended up getting quite drunk and meeting a lovely group of teachers with musical skills. (aussies, brits, yanks and canadians).

Friday morning (slightly hangover - and the day off work) we were heading to one of the islands (cheung chau). On our way to the ferry stop, Nick (one of the teachers from the night before) called us and invited us a on a junk party on saturday, with 45 others! So instead we decided to head to Lamma on friday. We had a yummy seafood lunch, and walked to the other side of the island, stopping at a deserted beach (about 5 other ppl) and coming across many spiders and a snake!! We have had such amazing weather - and a brilliant time discovering Hong Kong.

Friday night we met up with my friend Pau-Ling and some random canadians - and heading home, ran into a bunch of very amusing aussies and kiwis - another bunch of teachers. So ended up staying out half the night with them - before getting up early to meet Nick and the teachers for our boat party!

Had a great day on the junk, and met some lovely people, and we both got sunburnt knees! We then got invited to one of the girls places for pizza and cranium (a board game), a perfect day and hopefully some new friends!

Oh and Nick is Derya's equivalent. I don't think hes as psychotic as she is, but he collects friends and organises events - so definitely a good person to know! Oh and all the teacher's on the boat knew each other because they were in the same intake for the english teaching program in HK a couple of yrs ago. And Boz, it turns out teachers in HK can make a fortune, maybe something to consider ;)

It's sunday night, and Caity's on her way back from China - so the big question - should I cook or buy some dinner?

Oh and Basil is sooo almost dead - I'm sorry Basil...

Caity leaves tomorrow night, and them I'm on my own again. And another week of work ahead - gotta love sundays night....
