Eshin Direct

Can’t say it’s been one of those productive days. Actually, I was meant to get off to bed at about 11. But then I got caught up in ICQing a couple of people. For some reason, HK gals like to message me with just a simple “hi” or “hello”. Strange thing the culture here about that. I haven’t particularly struck lucky with this whole random messaging lark that everyone seems to enjoy. My friend Chris brought a girl he met on ICQ to karaoke once and she seemed pretty decent. Well, I do tell a lie. I have met two sweet gals on ICQ (or because through ICQ?) – Kat and Carman. Anyway…most others seem to either run when either 1) They discover I’m not Chinese. 2) Discover it’s worse and that I was born in Indonesia, adopted by Dutch parents and raised in England. 3) See my picture. It’s funny that the conversation suddenly goes from happy and interested to “Hey, gotta go.” at these three revealing junctures.

I haven’t got any insecurities about it. I just find it amusing. And I’m eager to see if it happened again to me tonight. We’ll see.
