i am kristy

I guess it can be most of the time, but when you're in HK for summer, it's HOT and it ain't that easy... it's barely even the begining, I don't know how I'm going to hold up? Just pretend it's Fiji baby... hmm I'm trying, so today I wore my swimmers the whole day, I went out without makeup (just to go get a facial), had a mango drink, wore flip flops and sunnies, put on insect repellant... I think that was my extent of living a Fiji life. The rest was just crazy!

Was suppose to go to a Hawaiian pool party tonite (just to end the day right), but while I was preparing for my kiddie's Splash class, I heard something break in the kitchen. I kinda poke my head around the door and saw glass on the floor and then BLOOD! OMG there was so much! My mum had accidently dropped a glass on her foot, and honestly there was blood everywhere! So quickly trying to remember my CSLA classes - RICE! So put her foot up, cloth and compression on the wound, grab some ice and blood is still going everywhere... so crazy. I've always wondered what I'd be like in an 'emergency'... I probably know what to do more than I think I do, cuz I kept saying "I don't know what to do" but did everything that was suppose to be done... and I kept making silly jokes to mum and myself like, blood is suppose to stay in our bodies not come out mum! eww gross mum your blood is EVERYWHERE! Where's that CSI blood detector spray stuff? and I've just cleaned the floor!! yeah I was just getting grossed out by the cut... and ewwww gross blood... (weird, it made me think of Queen's St flat when we had slugs in the kitchen and I'd squat down and look at them and just say eww gross... steph had to take them outside)

To top things off, we were having people over for dinner and they arrived to see me with gloves and a bucket cleaning blood off the floor, chair, table... and mum lying on the ground with her foot wrapped up leaning on a box!! ha bit of a sight... good that mum called a nurse friend of hers and checked how we should be doing things. The worse thing is that we don't even have a first aid kit in the house!! Not even the basics... so crazy, will have to be a bit more prepared next time!

So yes, this past week has been full on! I guess the longer I'm there, the more responsibility I have and more things I'll be doing!One thing I do love about this job is that I can be creative as well - like in helping the designers with projects, and coming up with tag lines and ideas. that's fun. I've also done my first intro presentation to a client, which I will be doing more of, so will have to get used to doing that! I've had several meetings on my own, which went fine... it's good when I get feedback from my boss on what to do and how to improve... and I've eaten lots of chocolate cake! We always seem to have cake in the office!

Coming up... on Monday Jamie & I have to go to a "Search Engine Seminar" oh what fun... and it's at 8am! crazy... we were saying we'll go for the breakfast and then sneak out while the people are talking, only after we call our boss to wake him up and let him know what he's missing haha

Tuesday I'm planning to go hear Whence He Came so that should be good...

Wednesday nite races - we went last week, but I didn't win anything, although Neena & Higgie did. The horses are sooo amazing! We go check them out before we place a bet... they get paraded around in the pit area and then the jockeys come out all dressed up, it's kinda exciting! Neens, after a taste of success wants to go back... she can't stop thinking about it! ha funny.

And of course sat. is Derek&Janice's wedding... and Herb's&James' party is that day/night too so will be able to go to both! umm really should ask for a day off first ay...
