Things that make me happy (albeit temporarily)

So today wasn't great and I haven't had a social life in a while (well not one involving a boy), yet a few little things added up to make me happy. I walked home from work today, I had forgotten what hard work the hill was. On my way home I managed to pick up blueberries, avocados and a shoe rack (finally) - for a bargain $hk20. I don't know what put me in a good mood, definitely the work helped - even though it was hot, stuffy and smoggy, I still enjoyed it. Oh and one of the girls at work brought us ice cream and another brought cake, so I spent the afternoon eating haagendaaz & cake, after a very yummy kung po chicken lunch.
Oh and I'm off to Singapore next week (and Simone gave me someone to visit while I'm there, and sent me a very sweet email too.) Oh and I'm working on a longer trip to Tokyo. Unfortunately they want me to go Tokyo when I'm planning to be on holiday. And as much as I really want to go to Tokyo, I'm not willing to give up a weekend with Will in Paris, a week in London with Chris, Trudi & the girls, and a wkend in Dublin with RM & Beth. Oooh and my pleb starts tomorrow - can't wait!

Anyway better make some dinner and tidy up a bit. If i can be bothered I'd update with dinner party photos. A great success!

OK no photos tonight, but guess what!?!??! I have finally booked my trip to london!! I have been putting it off and hoping the flights get cheaper. I checked it out yesterday and the cheapest flight with a non dodge airline was HK$6100. Well i randomly checked now before logging off and booked myself a flight direct from HK to london, flying BA, for only HK$4800 - BARGAIN!!! Hopefully they don't back out!! So people, this goes on my list of things that make me happy ;) I can't wait!! Night all - sweet dreams!!
