NIGHT OUT

Was it on Saturday?

Everything is a blur to me now...

Anyway... went to Central for dinner with a group of Singapore, Hong Kong and German friends. Went to this place known as Dragon i... Extravagantly decorated with red laterns and a contrasting black background complete with bar tables and authentic Chinese and Japanese cusines. A hybridization of east and west... the words that spring to mind is a paradox.. traditonal and yet Bohemian...

In fact, it is a dining place where round tables and sofas will be removed at around eleven.. transformin the place virtually into a disco club.

Therez even a model night... so models get free drinks and food --- selling point for attractin MORE customers...

Oh... and a peripheral point (though I see that as a MAIN attraction too.. er hem.. call me a "frog in the well".. whatever...) the washrooms are retro. These are unisex cubicles with a total metallic look... For some reason, it reminds me of matrix.

If I've known it will look this good.. I would have brought my phone camera juz to take a photo of the loo. (Right... I admit I do sound like a yokel.)

Anyway.. the bill comes out impressive as well... if I am not wrong.. it costs HK$2068+ for the nine of us there. Well... maybe therez a high maintenance fee for the loo?

Switched the location to a petite and cozy jazz bar along one of the shophouses.. located on the 5th floor. It seems to be a residence-turned-pub bar.

The band that was playin that day is known as the Kentohead. They played a few cantopop in a jazz rendition as well as other songs like Disney's A whole new world and Sway.

Well... at around midnight.. went on to Causeway Bay to M bar.

A few drunked men were juz vomitin along the street. Anyway, I was talkin on the phone outside the bar and a Caucasian man who reminds me of Tom Hanks in Cast Away was obviously zonked... and havin trouble walkin...

Looked as though he would lunge over me.

But is a really interestin night... though I smell like a walkin cigarette by then.

Thaz part of the actions of the city that never sleeps.

Btw... anyone interested in music and bands... check out this website on some local music functions Music in the City

Ciaoz.
