A Day at the Beach!

Halfway through a night out last night with Amy & Kitty, while drinking my Mojito I suggested a picnic on the beach today. It was a great success, managing to get started by 1pm (aiming for 12:30) we stocked up on picnic food and headed to Repulse Bay. I had never been to Repulse before, but was very close to it on the junk last week, and Stanley (where I went with Caity) is really close. We ended up spending all day at the beach (I was mostly under a tree and covered in sunscreen), eating and swimming and Jeff joined us as well. A perfect day, and on the way back we ended up stopping for gourmet burgers and touring Great (The expensive yuppy supermarket). Jeff is a mega foodie and hadn't been to Great before so we had a great time touring around. I purchased chocolate syrup (for ice cream), frozen raspberries, and some mature chedder (for brekkie tomorrow). So yeh I had some vague plans to meet for drinks tonight but it was after 8 by the time I got home, (and boy was a shower great after the day at the beach) so instead I have been washing towels and watching the Apprentice. It's actually a pretty amusing show. I also saw ads for Malcolm in the Middle, Prison Break and House so there will be some decent TV on. Chances are it wont be on when I want to watch;)

Tomorrow i have the gas man coming to fix the water heater. Im hoping he speaks english. Then I'm off to meet Hayley and maybe some others for some drinks, should be good. Oh and I need to go to the markets and get some fruit and veg. Amy and Kitty taught me some cantonese phrases last night, so maybe I'll try them out.

I had more to say, but can't remember what. Oh yeh. I'm thinking of cutting my hair. I always wear it up here cause its too bloody hot, and my hair is so foul all the time. It's all thin and stringy at the moment, with a decent cut it could improve a little. I'm thinking maybe a messy cut for just above shoulder length. What do people think? Should I risk getting it cut here, or wait another month or so, until London. Thoughts/advice ppl???

Great you had a great time touring at Great :). did you think of me packing and unpacking while having fun on the beach! ADSL is not looking good for this week at the new place, so I will be missing the bedtime chats. :(( Ave a good week ahead.. xo

I think you'd look cool with a shortish haircut. I say go for it!

Thanks for organizing the trip! It was much needed and awesome! Next is Sai Kung! Things like that keeps us sane!

As for the hair, I'd say save it for London! I took my adventurous side to cut and perm here... and you know how it turned out!

One more day 'til your bday!!!! Can't wait!
