No time to sleep in HK


Well i did say itll be back to work on poker from today but as it turns out Hussein doesn't like being a lonely traveller and dragged me and Jade with him to HK. I'm not complaining since he paid for our tickets and it turned out to be quite productive.

The selling point Hussein had for Jade was he'd take us to watch Bolt which is the new animated movie about a deranged dog who thinks hes got super powers. Unfortunately every cinema was fully booked for the day. So since we were on a mission to see it, we actually ended up literally waiting with no sleep till the next morning to buy tickets for the first showing. We only just managed to successfully complete our mission even though we were queuing up an hour before opening times which was 9 in the morning. And even though we were right at the front because there were no other seats left surprisingly enough the film was pretty good.

So what did we do in between all this? Well what other way is there to kill time then to go on the lash and as jade was saying all night get wankerred. I'm not usually much of a drinker any more but since my friend was here and to be honest Ive never had much chance over the years to have a drink with him, we got smashed. My friends from London who live in HK were the ones who actually took us to this pretty good club in TST. They ordered 2 bottles of Black label and mixed it in one jug with water and another jug with green tea. I don't know whether it weakens the alcohol effect but it does completely weaken the taste and they claim it is still strong and gets you drunk before you even realise it. Well i did get jolly but not drunk but then again i am a bit of a heavy weight when i seriously drink. My friend also introduced me to a guy who does a lot of events so i could try and see if i could get work from him. I just point blank said let me just take the mic even though the other mc is doing a heavy job and ill show you my skills. Even though i drank quite a bit when it comes down to doing my shit i get it done where ever, when ever and in what ever circumstance. So i did my thing and the guy was on it straight away which was cool So hopefully i could start making a bit of money doing some mcing at clubs. On top of that the guy i think who brought the mc and dj possibly was interested in doing stuff and even help me get music produced and stuff so the night ended up being pretty productive.

After that we drank more in a restaurant and ate loads of food. After 6 though there wern't any clubs or anything to kill time so we did a couple of things that might be good pointers for anyone who is too cool to sleep in a bed. We didn't find much point in getting a hotel or anything since we wouldn't be sleeping in it long and if we did fall asleep we would miss the chance to watch Bolt. SO firstly 24 hour MC Donald's. Its perfect It may not be bed and breakfast but you can buy a breakfast or just a coffee and if you want sleep with your he'd perched on the table. We got bored so we went to explore after an hour and if you want to see the sites at the same time as getting a cotch spot for cheap the tram is for you!. Also after we got the tickets for Bolt at 9 for the showing at 11 45 we sat on the really comfortable sofas in the Hagendaz and al fell asleep for 2 hours without buying anything and with no disturbance. So that's a hot spot , o the building is the shopping mall in kowloon tong.

So anyways I'm going to catch some serious zz's then tomorrow i have to start work on stuff for the poker training stuff.

peace!
