So we’d been planning all night how great Friday night was going to be. A world-supreme-master-champion DJ from Japan (DJ CoMa) was coming to a club called The Shelter (which we had never visited before), so we decided to splash out on a few beers at our place first. 3
each (and a lot of classic mp3s) later we were ready to go…
The doors opened at 10pm, and we’d been advised to arrive pretty early as the place wasn’t huge and people had been known to be turned away. Well, we arrived at about 11pm to this:

Ok, I’m sort of lying (I stole that photo from their Smart Shanghai page) but still…it was pretty empty. We were in no rush, so we got a beer. Corona was 20rmb (9
) and I think TsingTao was even cheaper (or maybe it was the other way round…anyway…) and it tasted good (although I was a little perturbed by the fact that the bargirl put the lime into it with tweezers)…but it didn’t really make the atmosphere much better.
It started filling up at around 12am…but the scene was a bit like going to a uni bar in England…like a Mojo or Pressure. It didn’t feel quite…right. So, since time is money…we went to Bonbon :D
Bonbon is a big club and on a Friday night has ‘international DJs’. It claims to have had more than 200 fly in to do sets…and it’s a really great venue for it. Pretty big main dancefloor, nice ‘sideroom’ (although they were playing house music in it which suprised me since it was D+B (Matrix and Futurebound) in the main room) and lots of small booths and rooms to get lost in (and play the drinking dice game).
What we hadn’t really thought through was doing pre-drinking, then drinking followed by going to an ‘open bar’ club. As my friends know, I’m an alcoholic not a big drinker, and this was just a recipe for disaster! Anyway, 2am -> 4am is a bit of a blur…but I am 70% sure we ended up in City Diner, eating bacon burgers (sooooo goooood) and talking about David Beckham to some Korean students (who must have thought that we were retarded or worse…Welsh).
Overall, a great night out…and 10 hours of partying for around £20…expensive night :D Oh, and the toilets at Bonbon deserve a special mention for being so cyber:


Real Death Star might blast Earth with death rays – Please don’t.
Britney Spears to return to prime-time TV – How I Met Your Mother hits a new low.
Wii World 1-1: Super Mario Bros. mod – 1up
Kanye Hands(video) – Falco finds one of the best videos…ever.
Shredz64 is very real and very shredding – Guitar Hero on the C64…strictly for gangstas.
And a nice song to finish…
Step 3
Look at the Departures board and locate your journey information. The Departures board will tell you which platform your train will be leaving from, as well as other information about the trip (ie, where the buffet car is situated, how many minutes late or early the service is running).
Step 4
Follow the instructions on the departures board which relate to your journey. These will usually be either “Board your train” or “Wait”.
Step 5
Board your train, find your reserved seat (Coach letter and seat number should be printed on your ticket), purchase a large Gin and Tonic from the appropriate staff member and relax – you’ve made it!
Author’s note I decided to write these guidelines for people who have problems catching trains. These people are often ignored by or segregated from society – and their cause is one which must not be swept under the carpet. We can not turn our faces away from this problem, because if nobody sticks up for society’s chumps…who will stick up for us when *we* are society’s chumps?
Yeah Ubonge.com and me got pretty drunk last night, playing GTA Vice City on PS2…I regret it now though because I feel like shit. Tal and Zahra want to go to the cinema tonight to watch Importance of being Earnest or something…don’t know if I can be bothered. I really need to get in the zone for work at some point or I’m going to sleep through the next term (not a good plan I reckon).
B2K feat.P Diddy – Bump Bump Bump just makes me think of asses. Verdict good.
Ginuwine feat. Baby – Hell Yeah just makes me think of last year in France. Verdict good.
J.Lo feat. LL Cool J – All I Have just makes me laugh coz LL is finally getting dissed by a chick. Verdict good (song bad).
I’ve gone from MOB to 50 Cent today…interesting…so today I had a haircut and it’s quite short. It was meant to be my ‘term 1 haircut’ as I seem to have about 1 per term, but I might have been a bit premature (EvilOli: Not for the first time! (Oli:SORRY?))…we’ll see.
I talked on the phone to my cousin Lizzie last night (she called at like 1am, totally pissed at a party) which was so cool…another NYR is to keep up the contact with the family (as Mystic Meg says, after finding true love – family connections are next). Respect.
Campus was alive last night to the sounds of Counterstrike playing…that game is kick ass when you’re playing with a lot of friends.
Songs to listen to:
50 Cent – Doing My Thing
Fabolous – Damn
50 Cent – Back Down
Clone cult firm raided in S Korea – I knew it!
Federally funded study measures porn arousal – God bless America

v Argentina match and it was brilliant. BRILLIANT!!!
In other news, I finished my first mixtape! Ok so it’s only 8 minutes long but it was just an experiment.
