When You Have Problems, They Always Bring Friends

One thing solved today, after lunch I could access the cash I had deposited so now I'm good for the short term. I've worked out a preliminary budget for my August spending, and already it is pretty tight. Work was fairly rough with a bunch of new kids. I think I did a good job selling to them, they had a lot of fun and we had a few new kids sign in for classes. The only problem is these kids are a bit behind the other readership children so again I'm dealing with a mixed level I'm not comfortable with. Not much I can do about it though.

Afterwork I went to pay my phone bill. I needed my cell phone back. I've been a recluse for the past few days and it is about time I got ahold of some people. I wandered around Causeway Bay shopping for a suit. There's just too many choices, I need my army of fashion consultants here. Sai's been giving some good tips but really there's just so many options it is hard for me to decide. Raymond got a hold of me today, He's apparently teaching an English class on Saturday and I'm going to see if I can make it for a surprise visit. We haven't had a chance to hangout for a while so this will be a good chance to meet up again.

I had dinner with Gloria tonight, she was a little surprised that I would just call her out. Actually she's been quite helpful tonight. I poured out a bunch of problems and we talked about several things. She'll probably help me look for a suit as well. I did a fun little personality test with her (drawing the box in the desert with the horse, ladder, etc) and it was over 90% accurate for her. She was so surprised, I'm actually getting decent with it. This is probably one of my favourite personality games. We went to a drinking spot right beside Times Square. It is located on the 2nd floor of some apartment, or so it seems. Actually the atomosphere is comfortable, a nice change for me but the air was horrible with a lot of smokers. We were talking about the RMB pegged against a basket of currencies and a lady behind me overheard the conversation. I overheard her talking about Manulife afterwards so we assumed she must work in the investment side. It is too bad I didn't have a chance to talk with her more since I'm in the market for a job in that type of field. Wouldn't it be nice to join my fellow ex-CLAers at one of the many Manulife branches (Canada and Japan why not add Hong Kong)?

My roommate has been missing in action the last few days. I didn't exactly have a phone so I couldn't really call her to find out what was wrong. We spoke briefly on the phone but it doesn't look good actually. I'm a bit fearful she will want to move. If she does then it is as if I'm starting over again, everything uncertain. I'm in a super stress mode right now trying to plan things out. I hope at the very least that I'll hear about my HK ID soon even though I'll be working on my many plans in the mean time. This will be a tough month I think, I feel the stress already.
