Chocolate and Chocolate

McDonalds is my friend. I don't know the guy next to me.

I spent the weekend eating. The boss was off last week and I was working to the bone with ulcer upon ulcer. I had one suicidal person, another two amputated toes, one A&E admission and endless necrotic gangrenous toes/heels/limbs. There is nothing in my podiatry textbooks that I have not seen last week. So I pigged out on KFC and suffered tremendously. The doctor gave me useless bottles of clay water to settle the stomach (who would actually drink the stuff?) and anti-histamines for the virus. -_- She also told me to lay off oily food and eat more in general.

Anyways, I made up for the loss of minerals over the weekend. I went to the Charlie Brown Cafe in TST and had a mocha frappe and a chocolate layered profiterole cake. The whole cafe was very Hong Kong-fanatical-cute. Hordes of girls were dragging their boyfriends there and it was so cute to see the guys act like sitting in a cafe sipping drinks with Snoopy printed on the outside and cakes with Woodstock on top and waffles with Charlie Brown was the most common and normal thing on Earth. I don't think so.

New friends.

The engineer invited me to this inter-denomination Christian Unity celebration. I had mango cake and lemon tea afterwards to again make up for loss of minerals. You can't just take one shot of minerals! I met a whole bunch of Hong Kong people about my age. It was kind of weird really. Hong Kong boys are very different from other guys. For one, they hang on to your every word. Secondly, they actually buy you all your food. They watch your back, keep your seat, make sure you cross the road safely and would actually bring you all the way home to your doorstep to ensure your safety. Why I bother to hang out with other guys I don't know. Maybe I am a sucker for suffering?

Thank You Jesus! McDonalds is tolerant to the antics of christians at 2am.

I went to have the most amazing chocolate pudding on Sunday. And it made me very happy for 48 hours. I think the happiness is starting to wear off. I need another pudding. Or cake/donut/profiteroles. Life sucks at the moment. I woke up today and I had WRINKLES! Arrghhhhhh!!!!!! I had raised my eyebrows and saw the lines on the forehead. I NEVER had lines on my forehead!! The banker told me I need to take bird's nest everyday. So did the vet. They told me it is good for me and are both taking it. I am starting to believe them. How how? Die la I have wrinkles and soon I will look older than both the banker and the vet and no one will hit on me anymore not even the sleezy old men in Lan Kwai Fong and I will die a slow and wrinkly death. *wallow in self pity*

Random things I am doing this week include:

1. Going for an infection control class that will last 3 hours 30 mins
2. I am going to Guang Zhou! I haven't told my mum and she wll probably find out when I am about to cross the border. I want to stay in a 5* hotel but the cyclist says it will be beyond budget. I don't think so. I need a good toilet, you know how dodgy China is.

3. I went to this Malaysian/Singaporean restaurant on Monday. It seems this week is eat curry week. I shall keep it up and grow fat.

4. I had a patient today whoese chinese name literally means Abalone Prawn Girl. I am not joking.

PS: It's four months since I have been in Hong Kong! Its like almost 1/2 a pregnancy!
