Workshop Christmas party

Why do they hold these things on weekdays when I can't attend? :(

I so wanted to go for the charity concert at Cheung Sha too but it was on a Friday – when I was busy earning enough to keep Buffalo Wilbur in espressos.

Anyway, for those who can go, the Workshop X'mas Party is on Thursday, December 22, 2-5pm, with a gift exchange at 4.30pm. The Workshop is in Chung Hau village. Bet the party will be fun!

All swapped out

I am a swap meet convert. Especially as I can get the same shopping high but without having to spend any money.

China Beach Club was heaving today with people attending the Transition South Lantau swap party.

You would have thought that, as the swapping was on a one-for-one basis regardless of cost, all you'd get would be cheap junk. But there were amazingly good stuff there, some brand new with tags.

Check out those pretty sandals I got – perfect for summer. And free!

Swap party, anyone?

I must admit the idea of swap meets bring out all my insecurities.

What if no one likes my things? What if no one wants to swap with me? Will I then have to slink home with all my stuff in shame?

It makes me feel like a weedy kid waiting to be picked for a team.

Thank goodness China Beach Club's Swap Party (4 to 6pm this Saturday) is not like that at all.

It's like a jumble sale but without money. You put all your unwanted goods on the table, get as many tickets as you have stuff and use those tickets to "buy" the things you want.

This could be interesting.

I think I'll need one of China Beach Club's yummy apple crumble to fortify myself before plunging into the fray.
