week post depression and bamboo

A slow week considering my weekend. It usually is that was after epression hits. Time slows down and cruelly makes you wade through ever moment of pain that inflicts upon you. It went slow but time cant stay still forever and eventually you realise in reflection that time has passed and things start to feel better and then you can laugh at the ridicule you put your self through. The Problem remains though you still dont have control and cant stop it from hitting you again.

I had dinner at mattyg's place on wednesday and then had happy chef with luke after doing some shopping in newtown on thursday. Friday i headed out to my sisters and had a chat with her about everything in my life and i have to say, big sisters are good at doing their job sometimes. It was also good to see che che and kizito once again. such a cutey those to are.

Saturday, i got picked up by joel and oi and we headed into the city to meet up with trang one of oi's friends from brisbane. We all met up with shaun another friend and bren(dan) the funny asian metrosexual who also brought along a few girls to entertain us. sorry cant remember all your names.

we headed into darling harbour and had chintas chinese. There was no alchy allowed so me and joel smuggled the hennessey into our coke while the others had house wine.

the others headed straight to the club afterwards while me and joel headed back to the hotel for some more hennessey. Along the way piss head joel drops the swipe card for the hotel somewhere between haymarket and sarling harbour. We get to the front of the hotel before he realises that its gone. "there was a point where i remember definitely having it" claims joel so we head back to that point to try and find it always looking for the card on our way.

We come to a intersection a few blocks up which has construction on it to the point where the pathway thins to a small wooden board covering a dry hole in the ground. Single file we stop behind a group of people and the next thing i see is joels hand reaching down into the blackness of night and magically pulling this card out of thin air. "jow the f*uck, did you find that" came out of my mouth is complete awe and surprise at the bullshite i had just witnessed.

And he recalls to me, "i didn't even know what i was holding and then the next thing i realise was, oh! sweet the card, and it was in my hand". Some times the mind just slaps the body around and takes control for a few seconds while the most blatantly obvious thing needs to be done and once its done gives it back. amazing

Anyways, we head back to the hotel have a few hennesseys while watching music max, yay!, and then made our way to bamboo. By cab of course, there was no way we could have made it there on foot and not get lost.

Bamboo was pretty packed and we were greeted by kong and noi,upon arrival who got there a few minutes before us. Inside bamboo was a club pretty much packed with asians. Not the drugged crack heads of nightclubs but regular alcho asians hitting the club and doing some dancing to so rnb and hip hop tunes. This is what ive missed. As much as i love getting into the dance and techno, funk beats breaks and bass, i love getting into some good bassy rnb. Theyre all the songs youve heard before but its just good to dance to without too much sweat.

We got into the drinks from minute one and i hit up the extra dry's first while joel and the other boys got scotch and dry's. finally after years of complaininghteyre getting that i cant stand scotch. Just not the drink for me. Then later im sure they got into the red bull and voddies while i got into the smrnoff's. For a night im not meant to be drinking on i sure as hell am getting pretty drunk.

The highlights of the club for me were watching dan teasing the young asian girls with corny dance moves and watching them as one by one they all fell for his charm, then watch him move on from one girl to the next randomly getting their attention and then ditching it for the like of another girl. Extremely metrosexual he just did it for fun and at the end of the night if he had a girl to take home well then hed go for it. All round joker of the group and funny to watch from my point of view.

Must also mention i ran into dez, shaun and mark from wagga who all seem to have moved up to sydney and partying it up. cheers boys, might see you out again some time.
