Better Now!

Yep Im better - still not drinking but pretty good. I am sitting in a lovely clean flat, having eaten a yummy meal and watched this great show - Australian Story

I did a one off and got a lovely phillipino lady to clean my flat while I was at work today, so came home to a lovely clean home! Made myself meatloaf last night so just ate a meatloaf sandwich!

Oh and I think I've worked out a cheaper way to get to Perth for the wedding in March. Fly via Singapore...

OOoh a strange kiwi show is starting - I better go ;)

Living alone sux when you're sick...

Or Being sick sux when you live alone....
Or Both....

Now before I continue - I would like to add a warning - particularly for my mother- I am fine, Im sitting on the couch updating my blog so I'm obviously fine now.

Let me tell you about my last 24 hrs - I left after lunch from work yesterday and slept most of yesterday afternoon and night. I didnt feel like food but forced myself to eat toast and flat lemonade. I woke up this morning still feeling bad (and temperature ridden) so took more drugs and slept more.

After midday I woke up and made it to the couch. After a while I felt alive enought to wander up to the chemist (not far at all and the escalator takes me up the block). I take the walk very slow and make it to the chemist. I wander around looking for the right drugs and was talking to the pharmacist when i suddenly saw dots in front of my eyes. Before I fainted (see mum I didnt faint) she sat me down and started feeding me crackers and water. She was very helpful and nice and I spent quite a while sitting in the corner of the chemist.
Oh let me explain what i was wearing. Baseball Cap (to cover my hair) tracky pants, long tshirt and tracky jumper - oh and did I mention Ugg boots. Yes Pppl (particulary Chris) I did the unthinkable I went out in Uggs. That should tell you how ill I am.

So finally after sitting, and being fed crackers and drinking water, i was able to walk, and made it home without incident. I have now drugged myself up on panodol to get rid of the temp, and have been eating crackers, water and am now drinking some really gross rehydration salts - yukko.

Oh and I have to go to work tomororw and fri as im teaching. Oh and I have work party on fri night and i wont be able to drink. That sux badly!!
Alright nothing on TV might go back to bed. Being sick sux....

2006 Wrap Up...

Its been a while since I've posted and I do apologise - although I can partly blame the Taiwan earthquake. There was an earthquake on boxing day in Taiwan that knocked out most of the undersea cables from Hk - blocking all internet to the US and most of the rest of the world (except HK and Aus seemed to work too). Finally internet is back, but its slow as hell..
I have had about a week off, and so far so good. Had a lovely champagne laden brunch on Xmas day, and saw Casino Royale on Boxing Day. Then Pau-Ling and I spent 2 great days in Macau, eating , drinking and relaxing. Tonight im having a few girlies over for dinner and then were off to drinks for the rest of the night. Im making a mega feast and just need to finish tidying the flat today -
Eggplant Tomato Pasta
Chicken Schnitzel
Potato pie
Brocolli and Green Vegs
Chocolate Truffle

Yummo!

I hope everyone has a great new yrs and 2007 is a good one!

Christian Bale is HOT!

Watching Batman Begins - just though Id share that thought....

Nat as a bridesmaid?

Some of you may remember that I have acted the part of bridesmaid once before, for the previous Ms Schwarzy. Well I didn't do too great a job, I didn't smile enough, or chat to family enough or get involved in organising stuff enough. But it seems I have once again been honoured with the role. Dee has asked me to be one of her (7!) bridesmaids! She also said I could be the witness instead if I prefer. So which is better? Feel free to put in your vote. my thoughts go along like this:
Bridesmaid - positives - lots of attention, pretty dress, shag a groomsman
negatives - lots of attention, 1 of 7, costume picked out by bride (but being Dee this is not a bad thing)
Oh this is the proposed bridesmaid dress (not the colour) - Its under "cocktail" and its number 2 - dress
Witness - positives - get to sign the official paper, only 1 , get to pick own dress
negatives - no attention, have to pick own dress (can be a bad thing for me!), no shagging of groomsman (not that I got to at Schwarzy's!)

Oh and yes I'm back in HK - was in Shanghai last wk, Shanghai was good fun, and cold - but work was hellish! So glad to be back in HK.

I had today off work, was going to sleep in and take it easy but instead had a crazy day. Got an email from schwarzy yesterday saying she was coming to HK for work for 24 hours, I met her for breakfast at the Island Shangri La at the crack of dawn. Then she went off to her meetings, I stopped home and then headed to the airport to send of Candice and meet her for a yummy pasta lunch. Then I rushed back to town and met up with my cousin whos in town til tomorrow, and did a bit of a walking tour, went to the markets and showed off my flat. And now I am meeting Amy for dinner & gossip. Byeeeee
