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!

Poor Basil! Apart from the breakfast thing with all married couples; it sounds like you are having a lot of fun over there! They were probably all just jelous of your beautiful dress and independance - %&*^(& them!

All three pairs of shoes I left are of the "your life is in your own hands if you wear these" variety. You have been warned.

I have the same problem with formal sit down things. No one ever talks to me either - and you do look fantastic in that dress. Wrap dresses really become you Nat. Wear it next time you see the sundress teachers and I'm sure it will redeem itself.
