A hint of a social life

Blah, it's so hard trying to sleep late, my damn curtains are beige in colour and they let all the damn light in!!! The sun rises about 6.30 here and when I wake up anytime after that it's usually too damn bright for me to get back to sleep. I managed to go back to sleep just now after waking up at 10 and woke up at a record 11.30am. Heh, well perhaps I shouldn't sleep so much, got a slight neckache now.

Anyway, a hint of a social life is beginning to form here in Hong Kong. Met up with Elene's fren on Friday for dinner and drinks and on Saturday, met up with a colleague for dinner as well. She brought me to a nice Shanghainese restaurant and we proceeded to a French bar for a drink. We ordered this French drink called' pestine' or something like that and it tastes like aniseed i.e. it tastes like bloody Fisherman's Friends to me. but it was a lovely pub, cozy with red decor (for those who have seen pics of my place will realise i like red decor).

After that we headed to a club called Volar (or something like that) where we met up with two other colleagues from the Digital Business team and two of the gal's frens. The club is sort of 'exclusive' as in u either need to know the people at the door or pay shit loads to get in (which the ang mohs do) Thankfully my colleague just had to say a bright breezy Hi and possibly air kiss the bouncer and we were in! It was playing predominantly hip hop which i'm not a huge fan of as most of you know but I was just relieved to be in a club that it was actually quite alright. The place was white with black leather chairs, with silver bar stools, and silver beaded curtains... two of them thought the club was a bit plain but I guess the positive description here is 'minimalist chic' Haha! We partied till about 2am and i was sleepy so i headed off home while Cardin met up with her Aussie friend who just came back from Guangzhou.

Went to watch a movie with Rena yest... we caught the "Brothers Grimm" at IFC which is a very posh mall here in HK and the movie ticket cost a whopping HK$65!!!! Wah, luckily the movie wasn't that bad (it got a bit lame towards the end but let's try to focus on the positive stuff here) coz if it was, wah lau, si bei dui.

It's Monday now and it's a public holiday! I have to go to bloody Macau coz of the bloody visa. Need to leave the country and come back what a complete pain in the arse. Sigh.. and I don't know what to eat for lunch again...
