Lalala. I am still exhausted but perhaps because of different reasons ! SailorJow, SailorIan and GAJan came over to visit and are actually still here, well, actually in Macau at the moment but they are here for a week and are bunking in ! I have never realised that my tiny place can fit so many people ! But yes, here we are, and it is packed ! I swear, it is really hard to have so many people around one toilet ! Added to the happy party, ParkyBear also turned up for the weekend !

Over the past week, I have had hotpot, and went to The Peak, Repulse Bay, Stanley, The Press Room, Wan Chai, Sogo, Causeway Bay, Sham Tseng, Sai Kung, Central....it seems that every time a new posse comes to town, I have to retake the Grand Tour of Hong Kong. As it is, I am extremely glad to have FredBear, RoxBear and SoBear show me around Hong Kong and helping me learn what a great place it can be. This has helped greatly in showing people around !!

Tonight was another dinner with one of my brokers, and it was pretty sad cause it was a sort of farewell. We have been having a better working relationship recently, but he has been retrenched due to the Financial Crisis, and will be out of work by the end of January. A very sad story but at the same time, repeated millions of times around the world at the moment. Just hope to hold on to my job safely, and learn more ! Had a very nice dinner at an Italian place in Soho. Meal started out with yummy beef carpaccio with truffles and mushrooms, as well as a mixed salad. Then we moved onto a fantastic seafood linguine with huge prawns and oysters and mussles and cuttlefish, and then onto my favourite, cream cheese stuffed chicken breast wrapped in pancetta. Absolutely divine. Am definitely coming back for that again. Add to that again, I had a superlicious cannoli for dessert. The honeycomb bits melted into my mouth ! Yum.

Which reminds me, I have not trained for the marathon for weeks. Shits...
