So, I guess i need to write the blog again. My friends Marcy and Chris just arrived to Sydney and they started their sydney blog, so now there is fierce competition. Sydney vs Hong Kong competitions too i’m sure. It starts with the blog, and it ends in an HK-Australia stand-off!
So late days at work, but all is good. Things are just really busy right now. I got wind that my belongings from the states are in Hong Kong but no actual word on where they are or when they’ll be with me. Oh, I will remain patient!
Plans for the week include a happy hour on thursday with work (and oh it begins), happy hour on friday with expat group (and oh it continues), hopefully the goldfish and flower markets on Saturday (I need a large potted plant and pet gold fish for my 2008 feng shui). I also need to find a compass so I know where to place my newfound pet fish and plant for maximum good luck. Chinese New Year and the year of the rat are just around the corner and i’m really NOT prepared. I need all the luck I can get apparently this year. I got a fantastic gift during our Secret Santa which is a 2008 Chinese feng shui and horoscope guide. Pictures of the event are here: http://picasaweb.google.com/rachelmadams2005/CCSServiceAndOpsSecretSantaAndDimSum
The big news is that Laurel booked her trip to HK in late february! Yay – my first official guest, although Willie is threatening to beat her to it and show up in January. We’ll see! And I’m in the process of booking my first vacation to SYDNEY to see Chris, Marcy and my friend Becky who is there for a weekend!. Couldn’t be happier. The return flight has an overnight layover in Ho Chi Minh City so I can see a little of Vietnam while i’m at it.
That’s all in the way of an update for now. Hopefully within few weeks I will be more furnished and will have a few pots and pans. For now, all I got is chopsticks and feng shui… (or the beginnings of an amateur attempt).
