I woke up this morning and was feeling pretty good, and had a craving for toasted cheese and tomato. So I wondered down to the supermarket, picked up cheese and tomato and my dry cleaning and headed home. BTW given my last shop I would like to publish my shop for today:
* cheese
* tomato
* mushrooms
* mango
* paul newman pasta sauce
* water
How healthy was this shop? And I'm about to make spaghetti with pasta sauce and mushrooms for dinner - yummo!
Last night was wandering through Lan Kwai Fong, and went into a pub looking for the sundress teachers, but instead ran into a group of girls I know (that I hadn't seen for a while). It was great randomly catching up with them, and one of the girls mentioned she was going to Ikea today so I decided to join her. Given my boxes arrive on wednesday I need some furniture - drawers and a bookshelf!
This afternoon I met Elsie at Ikea, but on the way managed to buy a great pair of black pants, and a couple of legal dvds. Yes people, I bought legal dvds but they were on sale. And I gave in and bought Buffy Series 7!! hey it wasn't too expensive, according to xe - only AUS$50! And I bought myself a bookshelf, drawers, lamp and a few more plates - so I can have guests over.
Tonight I'm off to a fundraising party with the junk teachers, haven't seen them in a while, so hopefully it will be big fun. And I'm once again rocking up to a party alone, but hoping will run into people I know quickly. I'm even going to make a half assed effort to dress up and maybe find myself a boy to snog. My neighbour is putting me to shame. He has a different girl every week. This weeks gal was a very slutty sparkly red high heels (I'm judging the girl based on the shoes outside his door!) Last wks was a very small pair of white conservative shoes ;)
Off to make dinner and then hopefully a very fun night!
I had a productive morning tidying up the flat and went to causeway bay (shopping area) in the afternoon.

Free drugs for all!
After a sleepless night coughing up a lung - I decided to see a dr today. Well actually I was walking downstairs to go buy some drugs from the chemist, when one of the guys mentioned that if I went to the Dr, he would supply me with free drugs (the best sort). So went to visit a lovely sydney trained doc, and left with cold tablets for day and night, and cough medicine for day and night - and guess what - no charge!
After staring a bit too long at McDonalds I decided to head to the supermarket to pick up some comfort food. Check out this shopping list:
* chips - thins original (called lays)
* cheezels (malaysian cheezels aren't as good as aussie ones)
* fonzies (malaysian twisties - not as good)
* frozen meat pie (dinner tonight)
* oven fry chips (low fat ones mum)
* lamingtons
* cherries
Yay for comfort food. BTW guys this ain't my normal shop! And i have a healthy dessert - cherries, mango and custard apple!
Oh for those I haven't told, Im going to Singapore for a couple of days (for work) end of July - early aug. Need to finalise plans, but am waiting for my voice to return first ;)
Oh and Zeina's chocolates are yumm! I'm rationing them!
Hopefully with the help of the comfort food, and drugs, I'll be ready for my big weekend... Feel free to call/email/send chocolates!!

You know when you're really sick when.....
You come home from work, and find your house keys still in your front door!
Seriously! I've never done that before! I must be ill.
Throat is killing me - I was training all day today, and all day tomorrow. No talking tonight!
Oh and I normally wear sneakers to work and change into girlie shoes. I rocked up to work today and couldn't find my girlie shoes - I had left them at home. So I was walking round in sneakers all day. Great day!
Oh and final annoyance - Shipping company called. My boxes (are due to ) arrive tonight. Yay I thought, no - customs 4 -5 working days. If I'm really lucky I'll hear from them next monday. I won't hold my breath...
Even passing the firemen working out didn't chear me up. Maybe my roast dinner will. Early night for me, and hope I magically wake up cured tomorrow!

Circumcision, slips, massage & choccies
Before I get onto today (which is what the title refers) I shall fill you in on the last few days. Thursday as you may remember my manager resigned, and friday at work I met with the MD and had a discussion that is getting repetitive.
He asked me whether I will be around for short term or long term. Now if this sounds familar to some of you, thats because the MD of my previous job (JP@Squiz) asked the same thing. What it is about me? Do I not seem dedicated? Is it my fault ppl keep giving me boring ass jobs???
Anyway friday night I met up with Amy (who is back from the phillipines). BTW Amy was the american lass I met in the bathroom of the expat party. Amy, Pau-Ling and I went for a drink (and met P's boy) and then Amy came round for food. We then went out to LKF and then met the teachers at a house party (on a roof) in Wan Chai. Was great fun, loads of really fun ppl and plenty of drink! BTW there are now 2 groups of teachers, 1 are the ones I went on the junk with, the others are the ones I met through wearing a sundress. So I shall call one junk teachers, and one sundress teachers. Friday night was sundress teachers (although I was wearing jeans) and we had a great time. I went home at 2am and felt like I was piking! (Amy stayed til 4am and had a great time too!)
Saturday I got woken at the crack of dawn (9am) by Dj's friend that was in town. Had a fun day wandering, shopping and eating. DJ has sent me 3 ppl now, and they've all been great! I'm hoping he'll send me someone that stays for more than a day!
Went out last night with Dj's friend (Matt) and some other dude from his hostel and Amy. I love Amy, we have the same bitchy thoughts. The other dude Matt brought along was annoying and I love that Amy agrees! Also we took the boys to an expat drinks and its the same people and their very sweet but its so much effort meeting new ppl all the time. They're not as loud and obnoxious as I'm used to!!
Today I woke up at the crack of dawn (yet again)to go to Mira's baby brit. Another very cute boy (called Asher), which was then followed with a sit down breakfast, with 100 married ppl & kids. I didn't know anyone and no one spoke to me. I was standing outside and tempted to run away before the breakfast, but I couldn't find Mira to say goodbye. So I sat through a very lovely breakfast, where no one spoke to me and I was the only single person with no kids. It was awful.I wore my lovely new black and white dotted Zara dress and Caity's black wrap shoes that she left behind. I looked lovely and still no one spoke to me!
When Caity left, she put 3 pairs of shoes in a bag to throw out. So one of them was the black wrap shoes. Walking back from Shul I slipped over and almost killed myself 3 times. Now I remember why Caity was throwing them out!! Bugger.
So I finally got home in a foul mood, and there was a package waiting for me from Zeina. She sent me very cute hair clips and homemade chocolates from habberfield. I can't wait to try them after dinner!!
Oh did I mention I woke up with a terrible sore throat this morning? I figured the time had come for a massage, so I just got back from a lovely 50 min massage (cost less than $40) I really should try and get one every fortnight at that price! I then stopped by the market and chemist and picked up a load of fruit and veg and vitamins. So going to have a quiet night with lots of movies, fruit, veg, vitamins and Zeina's choccies! Thanks Zeina! Oh and Basil's dead - I'm sorry!
