I always get the pretty girls

I think I have a friend - a real one!! Her name is Pau-Ling, she's the Finance Mgr at work (ie. she pays me), she's from Melbourne, but her family is chinese and she speaks more cantonese than me (which isn't hard). [Only negative, is she has a boyfriend (a serious one at that), so I probably need to find a single friend too.]
She invited me out for a quick drink after work last night, but only a quick one as she was flying out to BrisVegas at 11:30pm! So we had a very nice glass of NZ white, sitting in the middle of (HK's) Soho right by the escalator. Was very cool. We figured we had time for 1 more drink - so 2 lovely glasses of wine.
Then a guy wants to buy her a drink, but in a very HK way. This is what happens:
The waiter comes up to us, with this guy's business card, and he tells us how he knows this guy, he's very trustworthy, and wonderful and blah blah, and he would like to buy us a drink.
Really its all aimed at Pau-Ling but he was being polite and bought me a drink too! I love having pretty friends! (Yes mum, I know I'm pretty - but not pretty in the way that strangers want to buy me drinks!)
So the waiter brings over our drinks (no 3) and goes. Were left with our yummy wine and his business card.
This is where it gets wierd(er). The guy doesn't come over. So Pau-Ling has to work out which one he is, from the description the waiter gave and when he walks past - she stops him and thanks him. And what makes it even funnier was that the guy is a director of one of Michael Page's competitiors, and knows everyone we work with. He didn't seem all that impressed at wasting a drink on us!
Another guy started talking to us, and he was also in recruitment company - where were all the bankers and lawyers? Obviously we weren't at a ritzy enough bar!
Oh and then an extra drink appeared in front of me - we were sitting round the bar, so maybe someone ordered too many, or something - who knows - either way I ended up with yet another glass of wine. I was very drunk by the end, and of course we lost track of time and Pau-Ling had to rush off to the flight - hopefully she made it in time! (I bet she slept well on the plane!)

No big plans for this weekend, going to do some washing today, and buy some fruit and veg at the market, and maybe get a massage today. Tomorrow I'm doing volunteer work, which should be interesting and I'll get to meet some people. But apart from that, a wkend with my thoughts.
