Oh i believe in yesterday....




OK, so yesterday, after i managed to leave the house, here's what happened.
Me n Ross both had stuff we wanted to do, and we both had stuff we didn't wanna do together. I went shopping in an awesome 2nd hand clothing shop that stocks stuff from Japan. Trouble is Japanese people are generally pretty tiny....and i'm not tiny....at all. Anyway, i have patience, and i quite enjoy trawling through crap, even if i want half of it but it won't fit. So i came away with a few goodies, saw the most incredible dress....60's era, but so teeny weeny...i think i might know someone that small but she just had a kid, so i dont wanna buy it for her then offend her if it doesn't fit....so poor lil' black dress with white piping has no home. :(

ok anyway, then i went to meet ross in the Wanch, coz we were gonna meet there then go for dinner @ the Dining Wok, which I love. It does more Westernized chinese food, which means there's more than one thing on the menu i'll eat.... anyways i'll get back to that in a minute.

So Ross was an hour late, and i was sat there like a donut getting tipsy all on my lonesome, listening to a covers band who kept going on about this "incredible band" called "The Pedo's"....now, i'm sitting there thinking to myself "that's an awful weird not to mention inappropriate name for a band, and i can't imagine these middle aged chinese businessmen rocking out on their downtime listent to punk....so......" ok so it was about half an hour later, when they played one of "The Pedo's" hits that i realized they were trying to say the BEATLES. WOW. i love language barriers!

So Ross shows up, i figure Dining Wok would be closed coz it was half ten, so we rush over....only to find it's closed.....FOR GOOD. i almost cried. so we ended up in what used to be Big Earnies Diner, which is now a very reasonably priced drinking establishment with very good Bangers n Mash.



Melvis (anyone in HK will know, but for all y'all who dont, Melvis pretty much thinks he's Elvis. He's been around since i was underage drinkin as a teenager....and runour has it he superglues carpet to his face for side-burns. GENIUS!) showed up which was a Kodak moment...



And here's me looking very uncomfortable, i cant remember why, maybe Melvis, maybe the Pedo's, maybe Ross saying I look like i shop in "the oversize doll shop"...



Oh, that reminds me, i got an awesome cardigan today, grey with multi coloured specles knitted in, and it kinda matches my jeans, which are starting to look like the Lucky Charms Leprechaun had an orgy with a Unicorn on acid....


Perks of the job, eh?!
