About Me


Create your own Friend Quiz hereIn China for over 2 years now. Currently based in Shanghai, but moving north to Beijing towards the end of Feb, where I shall be until early 2008 and possibly beyond. Who knows? No set plans, just go with the flow. Life is a long journey with no clear destination!I am shy, sort of, but if I let you get to know me, then I can become quite loud around you, but not in an annoying way.I am highly opinionated on many matters and I tend to think life is pretty much Black & White. Not too much room in my life for grey, but there's just enough there to keep things interesting!I don't see eye to eye with many people about lots of things, but I like being different. It would be rather boring if we were all the same.I like entertaining friends socially and domestically. Love to party hard also and love a damn good drop (or several drops) of scotch! Not a great fan of any other alcohol, but will make exceptions for a good shooter or a strong and sweet tasting cocktail.And most of all I like continually surprising people with what I do in my life.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I am damn fussy. So that makes it difficult to start with. But I do get along with most people, so it's a bit of a conundrum. In terms of who I'd like to meet, how about who I don't want to meet? I don't have time for superficial people, tossers, arrogant people, people lacking in morals and ethics. Hey, I'm no saint, but I know what's right and wrong! I like people who have something interesting to say, other than what the weather's like or what their favourite TV show is.As for who I have met, have met some great people in my life back home in Melbourne and most recently in Shanghai.I only have time for genuine people, those that treat everyone equally and don't think they're better than everyone else. I like people that have their heart and mind in the right places and are charitable by nature. At the end of the day, we're all made of flesh and blood, regardless of race, colour or religion. Amen.
