5:01 Club - 12/2/07

Junk cruise was a blast!!! I knew there were cool things to do in HK like this but I just didn't have the people to do them with before. What a great group of people. So laid back and nice and fun to be around. It's just an easy time. It was probably 75 degrees, sunny with a slight breeze. So perfect. We were all commenting on how we couldn't believe it was December and all of our friends from home were in cold weather.

There were only two caucasian girls on the boat. Me and Sara. Sara's boyfriend, Dominic was there so I got ALL the guy attention. It was so much fun! At one point I had five guys sitting around me. I was fucking loooooving it.

There were the following guys:

Alex, 21, Scottish - ADORABLE and in love with me for some reason. He was calling me "honey" and "sweetie" all day/night. He has 1,000 funny stories and tells them well. Plays on the rugby team.

Matt, 31, British - I've mentioned him before. VERY cool guy but I'm just not attracted to him - damnit! I can tell he likes me too. Argh. Beat him in arm wrestling at the pub that night (he only used 2 fingers though).

Jason, 26, British - Has lived in HK for 6 years teaching English. Plays on another rugby team. Totally cute and sweet guy.

Leo, 25, British - HOT but of course too young. We were eyeing each other the whole time. Very attracted to him. Was bummed when I found out his age. On the same rugby team with Jason.

Jonathan, 32?, Scottish - "President". Love this guy. He has the energy of an 8-year old. On the rugby team with Alex (they lost the day before to Jason & Leo's team).

The night before they had gone out late night after their big, final rugby match dressed up as either Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera and went bar hopping. They had endless stories. Why do British guys like dressing up as women so much?

We had six hours on the boat with good music and plenty to drink and eat...then we hung out at a bar until about 11pm. Alex - being 21 - still doesn't know how to handle his liquor so by 11pm we were having to babysit him so we called it a night. Plus, 11 hours of hanging out with each other was enough. I could tell that Matt and Leo were hanging around to see if either one of them could get "special alone time" with me but I wasn't into it. I'm not attracted to Matt and Leo's too young. Although, if I keep seeing him every Friday then I might change my mind :) Gotta take it slow since I'm new to the group.

I didn't get to take that many pictures because I only had my Blackberry but below are some pictures from when we docked and FEASTED on fresh seafood for only $20/person. It was right as the sun was setting...gorgeous.

And what was even better was they didn't do the peer pressure shit with the drinking. So I got to have a relaxed time and drink at my own pace. Which was much faster than it should of been but still in control.



















My new friend Sara in the middle, her boyfriend Dominic on the left, Jonathan on the right (In the hotel robe - Alex brought a huge SUITCASE on the boat with all sorts of stuff in it. It was hilaaaarious. Hotel slippers, a panda bear hat, robes, a superman blanket...on and on...he just kept pulling new things out of it every hour.)





















That's Leo resting on Jonathan. Jason is on the far right.





















Such a feast! I ran into Sara today when I was grabbing lunch. She and I live about a 2-minute walk apart so this is the 2nd time I've run into her during lunch. She said that her man's going to email her more pictures so I'll post them when I get them from her.

Was SO tired today and had forgotten about a GYN appointment I had at 10:30am. Always nice to show up to the doctor's office hungover. But it was just to get a BC Pill prescription. What was great is that in HK the pharmacy is inside the doctor's office. So you get your medicine immediately. SO much easier!

Picked up my new size 6 gray Theory suit and the pants fit a tiiiiiny bit better. They're wearable for the business trip this weekend. Still gotta a bit more to go though. Gotta get the booty down a tad. Spinning class has become my 2nd home. Such a great workout and it doesn't bother my knees. Halelujah!

And I FINALLY found size 9 shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A place called "Sole Town". Ohhhh yeeeeahh.... So now I'm set! Bought a Vivienne Tam dress for the Christmas party which I shouldn't have but I couldn't find a cheap one that was appropriate and in my size. I REALLY TRIED I SWEAR!!!! Here's a picture but it's crappy and looks sort of freaky on the mannequin and doesn't do it justice. I love it!
