Background : Woz is the guy from the previous post who I discovered lived above me in HK... We met a couple weeks ago when I was out with Tan & Co - but I couldn't really recall who he was. We have been chatting for a few days now on MSN (after an initial chat on Tan's ID last week). We both broke up with our respective partners at the beginning of January, so it's been great having someone to talk to that is going through the same thing. Kind of support for each other. Nice guy, friendly, sensitive, emotional. I think he will be a really great mate.
Anyway, plan was to have a drink, a chat, see a movie - our first one IRL. So Woz picked me up from Flinder's Street Station and we drove to The Jam Factory on Chapel St. Love it there - such a gay shopping centre. Well it's not really a shopping centre, more like an entertainment complex, but still as gay as anything. Not only the design and the selection of stores, bars, food, etc, but the patrons... gay boys everywhere... almost like Oxford Street under one roof... :o)
So anyway, we went to TGI Fridays, had a bite to eat, a drink and talked about experiences, ex's, breakups etc, then headed off to the movies.
We decided on Pan's Labyrinth... A Spanish language film, kind of an adult fairytale of sorts. An absolutely amazing film. A few scenes made everyone squirm, cringe, cover eyes etc, but it really was a fantastic story. I believe it is nominated for 'Best Foreign Language Film' award at the Oscars this year.
After the movie he drove me all the way back to Hell's Corner, which was great since he lives a similar distance from the city but east... so it was going to be a long drive home for him.
Definitely gonna be a great mate.
Today, I don't feel quite so alone...
