Easter Weekend
There is no such thing as Easter weekend in China. But in SH, it was apparent that something was going on this weekend because the nights out seemed a little more crowded than usual. Very many people from HK and surrounding areas came to SH this weekend. Man, I'm such a bad Catholic. I had meat and got hammered on Good Friday and got hammered on Saturday too. But, FYI, there was a special reason why I went out this weekend. I told myself I wasn't going to party in a while, but I had some visitors in SH and seeing old friends will always keep me goin' hardcore.
Selina and two friends of hers (Elkie and Herbert) came up from HK to spend a weekend in SH. They arrived Thursday night and I adhered to my schedule of Pegasus, Park 97, Cashbox and sightseeing. I also decided to have a little housewarming party before Showtyme's party on Saturday. To top that off, Margaret flew down from Beijing with her boyfriend to party in SH as well on Saturday.
Seeing Selina was great. I was baffled when I realized how long we had known each other (since grade 9)! Well, she's as good looking as she was when I first met her back in the day. It's great to know that some things don't change. Her friends were really cool too, I think in general they had a pretty good time this weekend, even though they didn't get much sleep. But then again, who goes away on a trip just to sleep? I find holidays are sometimes more tiring than workdays, but then again, they're so much more fun.
I had a near sexual encounter last night though. One of the international students at Fudan has taken a liking to me. I think I was attracted to her when I first met her a couple weeks ago. She used to be a lawyer in HK (a professional woman!), grew up in England (Bri'ish bloody accent!) and is older than me by 2 years. I kept thinking about how it worked with Kirb and Jane so why not me? Well, it didn't take long for the novelty to wear off. I don't think I'm attracted to her anymore. She's a cool chick, but I think that's as far as the attraction goes.
Anyways, she was pretty hammered last night and before I knew it, her friend was telling me how much she liked me and how she thought something was going on with me and Selina. Flattering as it was, I realized that at that point, having to make a decision of whether to dive or climb down the diving platform made me opt for the latter. When the club closed she was outside with the rest of our friends getting into a cab. She got back out of the cab when she saw me and grabbed me in her drunken stupour. She wanted to know where I was going and I told her home to sleep. She asked me with who and I said by myself. She then asked me to kiss her. Well, I'm not one for PDA's and she was pretty drunk. And I don't think she's what I want. But then again, I don't really know what I want. I told her friends to take her home because she was drunk and told her that I didn't want to do anything with her because she was hammered. I haven't talked to her since, it's gonna be all fucked up when I see her now. I guess I can't just play it off like nothing happened, huh?

That's pretty messed up. I've had a situation like that with a friend that was drunk. She was all huggy and spilling her heart out to me. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the same. As much as I would have liked to have taken advantage of that situation, that STUPID voice in the back of my head over-ruled me! Damn the conscience.
How we got over it? I didn't mention what happened during her drunken stupor, and when she did, I just played it off as her talking nonsense. Was she good looking at least? You mack daddy!
Simon you stud! Well, at least you did the right thing... and you can be proud of yourself for that!
Btw... PDAs = ?? haha... it made me think of a palm pilot (personal digital assitant) or something. 
And if ced played something like that off before... I'm sure you can. Or the better (but harder thing) to do would be to sit her down and have a talk and clear up any misunderstandings.
i too had had a "near sexual encounter". for details ask kirb how he unintentionally (or intentionally as the case may be) remote cock-blocked me.
by the way kirb, you still owe me...i'm still waiting for that wax-and-polish job.
dude...u gotta do what the Roman's do...heehee...jsut close your eyes and hold yer breath...seriously, good call on that dude, your oozing with gentlmenly quality (if it was me, I might have broken down and said 'oh........alright') Kudos for Kirb and his excellent cock-blocking skill.
gentleman? gentlemen don't get shagged do they?
facK!
ah, but I disagree. Gentlemen do get some '-)
Gentlemen get to bone the fat ugly ones that their friends describe as 'really nice'.
If you were trying to get rid of her, you should've just boned the bitch. My bet is that she's going to like you even more now for playing the whole nice-guy-I-don't-want-to-take-advantage-of-you thing.
Long D cock-blocking is a finely honed skill, my friend. Soon I'll be able to pull a block on Si in Shanghai from the comfort of my home in Toronto.
Si, the nice guy.
Ignore "near sexual encounters." Play it off like nothing happened. The most you ever say is "Don't worry about it" when they apologize to you the next day. Otherwise you'll have to talk about why you don't like him, why you didn't kiss him, and that it was not because you don't find him attractive and make up an excuse about how you're at a time in your life where you want to be alone or how you're scarred from your last relationship and want to be single.
Sigh... these things are suppose to happen to guys... not girls.
i need to do something drastic and get that nice guy thing off my shoulder
Did you kiss her? if you did, it's gonna be really weird, but I think you should talk to her about how you feel
don't worry si ... i'm sure there r lots of guys in SH
and if not ... i think marv's got some old white ones for u ...
sorry ... this one was too good to pass up
Whoever Pochacco is... (Fred?)... beat me to the punchline. J/k Marv... kinda.
Si... I'll post more pics for you! =)
lol don't guys usually regret not taking the advantage of a drunk woman? well i dont' see how things will be weird.. just make it the best of it. take care.
great to hear some men still have some decency not to take advantage over a woman while she's intox.
