I have purchased my ticket to go to Hong Kong from the 19th to the 22nd of August. This will be my first proper break in five months, and man, do I need it. I need to get away from the office, Singapore, the family and the boyfriend - basically everything that's causing me stress - and just chill. Unfortunately, how much chilling I'll be able to do in the shopping and Chinese food eating paradise this side of the Asia-Pacific, I don't know. But I do know that I need to get away.

And upon my return, it'll be four days of working like hell trying to catch up with work after having been away for five days (because I'll be out of the office for three days earlier in the week) and then, the Very Xotic party at Zouk, featuring Xotic clubwear and lingerie (available only at CK Tangs), exotic dancers from thebodytalks, waxers from Strip and goodies from Awfully Chocolate... And of course, free flow of alcohol. And later on that night... hopefully, I'll be spending some quality time with the boyfriend... Doesn't that just sound delectable?
