"Ladies And Gentlemen We Got Him"

Yes his been hung.

An Early Edition

So its an early edition of the Saturday blog. This is because I have virtually done everything I want today, thats shop, walk around and then eat some food woo bloody hoo.

I kicked my day off by being lazy and watching Saddam get killed unfortunately it was not shown on tv. You Tube will have the video sometime soon we can only hope. Around 12pm was the time I decided to leave my cage and go for a walk before the evil person gets back.

My walk led me into a que outside yes Louis Vuitton which seems to be my favourite place to buy bits from lately. I copped 2 multi-colore monogram bandanas in white and black and also the Louis Vuitton catalogue in which I had to ask very very nicely and use my magic to get this. Thankfully the woman was really nice and said "Sure thing just wait one moment" and "I had to try really hard to get you one". Its the catalogue they use in the story, looks good and just another thing I can add to my collection. Messenger bag will be my next cop from LV unless I get a belt, scarf and umbrella.

The Union up next for a bite to eat, same as the other day. Same food nice again, same drink yes orange juice oh and a coke 8) same waitress, she tends to remind me of someone I just don't know who it is exactly. She does look pretty anywho ESPN having football on is always good and again its a shame I had no idea what they was saying apart from predicting scores 2-1 Liverpool over Scum and all going for Arsenal wins. On that note we shall see come later tonight/morning.

Final part for this blog, I have done videos of Hong Kong there not all that long and I do hope they come out looking good. These will be posted soon as I get home during the week. Some where done on the subway and others are on the streets me walking towards my hotel. I will continue to do videos and post when I can. Just hope one doesn't get into a fight over me recording.

Excellent

Must say this was prob my best day by far. Meeting up with family at Star Ferry then off round The Palace I think it was called where there is many many shops which I did like the look of and will go back before I go away to buy a couple bits i.e. Ralph Lauren yeeeeeeah.

First stop of the day Starbucks, yup there everywhere which is better than a Maccy Ds (at least there cleaner here). I picked out a Mango and Rasberry frapachino iced tea or whatever the fuck you want to call it! was nice as always, kept drinking that for a while now but I didn't care it kept me cool on the inside. As always 1 female will be late (yes I joke with you). It doesn't matter if there late to me.

The day was underway, we planned to go up The Peak thats 4.400 meters above sea level yes thats high up and it was a very good view of the island. Its a shame the weather wasn't great so the view was abit off. If it had been on a clear bright day it would've been perfect. Cameras flashing left right and centre, for some reason at me :| yes me. Well they wasn't just of me, but of my 2 cousions also who do try to hide themselves which I find a good chuckle.

After climbing loads of stairs to get to the top went for food. My 2 cousions and I just strolling behind the elders (no offence) making jokes and having serious talks "Hush hush now". The food we did have was top notch, excellent. BRAVO!!! Louise and I had a sushi platter, Heather had 12 cucumber sushi rolls, nan didn't want anything and uncle Chris ended up with a curry I THINK (if I'm wrong tell me). I finally learnt how to use chopsticks correctly, thank you to Louise on that one. If she never showed me I'd still be trying to eat Makki with my fingers now. Whsabi is the shiiiiiiiiiiit, yes its hot but damn its good when it gets going. Good to see uncle Chris have a few tears after trying huge dabs.

Off to the number 15 bus we go, being told its like a rollarcoaster bah wasn't all bad just a few trees we hit on the way but nothing bad. The bus led us into Wang Chi I think its called and yes this is a different part of the country I hadn't seen. Lapdancing clubs all over the place, shame that such a pretty female I saw was working in these seedy places. Each club has people sitting outside on chairs or stalls, these lot will pull you into the club so they get your money. Now this one club had some 60yr old lady standing there looking like she'd kick the crap out of me if I had touched her :| yes shes that serious.

Thumbs up of the day so far goes to the Mango drink with gummy balls at the bottom :P also the computer market we went in. Now these places are bloody tiny but have so much inside which is just insane. All you computer loves would love this.

Browsing places like this are crazy, its cramped but this place which sold computer games and anime/manga I give the massive "Double Thumbs Up Of The Day Award" who knew they'd have so much games WOW. The 360 games selling well which is a huuuuuge suprise in Asia, PS3 was playable I couldn't get a go but some places are selling it for under £300 thats the 60GB deal. Can anyone say "Buy me one now thank you please". I ended up buying a Death Note pack which had the book, feather pen, chain, poster and the dvd with 15 episodes from the anime. My younger cousion bought the live action version which is pretty cool and different. Haha at the guy who had no idea what to do on Zelda when he had people watching him.

More walking then "Hello and welcome" this noise pissed me right off god damn it. In the end it pissed all of us off.

Bit of food shopping for the evening meal then off we go on the Star Ferry to Discovery Bay. Enter zee ferry, journies on this from Central to Discovery Bay are around 20 minutes which is pretty good.

To round it off, I did decide to go back to my uncles and have some good. I was going to stay the night but opted to come back and rest in the hotel where I can also type this up for you guys. Steak and noodles I recommened for anyone, add a couple spices then your good to go trust me its really nice.

I have decided I will be going to the New Years Eve party, I will go as a 21st century wizard if I can find what I want.

Thank you to the one they call Mellow Yellow for making one smile, yes you blushed.

Louis Vuitton bandanas on the way.

Thurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsday

Well, its Thursday. My how the week has gone fast, feels like yesterday I was laying around moody oh wait I was ops. So hows my mood of the day been? Well its actually got alot better as the day has gone on. I feel back to my normal self the "ballllllllllllllllin'" version, excellent I say.

Still got a cold but I've never got rid of one fully.

Anyways moving on to my day, I decided to be lazy till around 12ish then go out to Central to browse a few shops see what I can buy. First off I hit Bape, nope not 'The Busy Work shop' like we get back hom but 'Bape' I've explained it all before what its like and today again was no different nothing major to buy at all. New bits need to be put out.

A trip to Nike Hong Kong was up next, its small again nothing major but yes it sells alot of stuff back home we do not get. Tiffany croc reflector dunks where in stock and damn I wish I bought them infact I think I will go cop them this week. I kept walking up and down the streets looking for somewhere to browse and couldn't find a shop I liked.

Enter IFC Mall, now I did enjoy the walk around and browsing quite a few shops. However the down side is theres so many shops for women and when it comes to males bits there isn't anything decent or its just lack of. God damn it and the one thing I do like isn't my size *angry face*. I felt rather hungry at this point all this walking I've done and being told I've lost weight means I need food.

The Union, its a bar and a grill. Up on my high chair like the baby I am asking for some orange juice "gaga goo goo". Thumbs up to the female who served me with her soft spoken voice, me failing to understand what types of chesse she said making myself look a fool but she did giggle which made me feel better. Grilled chesse burger and french fries with some salad on the menu for me YUM!. very nice.

Finally for tonight me and the old man got in an arguement over where we should eat. I can't stand McDonalds and I refuse to go and eat there again. I don't know if him and my bro ended up going there. I do feel for my lil bro he hates seeing us argue all the time, I may have been in the wrong but the fact is I'm 20 and I want to try different places out here thats a reason people go abroad and thats to try different food. You never know what its like till you try it. I found a place that did sushi so I went there and had some nice food rounded off by a talk with my good friend Serena the one person who I can turn to when I need a talk. Thank you for that talk its made me alot happier and thank you to the rest of you who are on msn at 2am-4am (UK time) who chat to me getting through problems, even though your all female you all help me.

Louis Vuitton messenger bag on the way.

"Why Was There No Blog Yesterday?"

This most asked question on the internet! Yeah ballocks it is.

The reason why it wasn't up and working was that there was an earthquake that had hit Tiwan. It had affected all the communication I had. The net was slower than dial up :| I couldn't text anyone and I couldn't call the one person I really needed a chat with.

Well I did fuck all yesterday so theres no reason for me to even talk about myself. Bro and dad went to Disney Land Hong Kong and both enjoyed it.

Current mood: Not very good, I feel very moody as many of you can tell. I have found it hard to adapt to my first week here. However I hope I don't go back home regreting things I did not do.

Thank you to those of you who I've been able to talk with about things, couple of you put the smile back on my face.

Todays edition of the blog will be on tonight.

Boxing Day Ermmmm Ok

Well not much to say really about this day so this will most likely be my shortest entry to the blog.

This morning after having some breakfast we ended up in Mong Kok. This is where all the sneaker shops are and yes theres ALOT but, its not what you'd think it was. If your thinking its just a modern street with 30ish sneaker shops your wrong. This is a narrowish street with loads of small to medium kinds of sneaker shops. Your find the same shop maybe 3 times on each side of the road and they all seem to have the same sneakers so if your looking in one shop for a pair there sold out go next door get them. Its cool but its not what I expected since I read about it still though they got quite alot of kicks we don't get.

Finally we went to see family which was cool. All afternoon me, my brother and uncle ended up playing X Box 360. 'King Of Tennis' well not really won 2 tie break sets and got clean swept in the 2nd. X Box Live is the one, it can piss me off when your just starting a new game and you get all the pros shooting from some secret hide out you can't find. The food again was very nice. Them cats do enjoy a good scratch ha.

So till my next blog which is tomorrow I bid thee farewell and now I can get ready to watch Watford get gunned down by Arsenal.

X-Mas Day Edition

Would you have belived it if you was told that all the shops in Hong Kong would be open on Christmas day? Well I didn't expect it, I thought they'd all be closed but nope they was all open and busy as ever. Ques here and there, paying customers all over the floor (not actually laying down), western worlders enjoying their time (abit too much).

Well then here we go for my Christmas. After breakfest it all kicked off walking round the huge shopping mall and yes we found shops that we never seen before from parts that we never went to (ha). I saw the kicks (picture) I wanted and yes I got them, pretty good price I must say shame I couldn't get the low dunk version (damn it). Reason its all lit up is because of thr flash on the reflecters ;) yup Asia exclusives.

With all that said and done its off to my uncles for the big ol' Christmas dinner with family. Must say it was very nice a nice wide range of food to pick from which is always a plus because you could get something you don't actually like but with this theres many types to pick from. Two thumbs up to the chef. Desert was cool something I haven't had before, I like the idea. Many many pictures taken of me, my younger bro and my 2 cousions, could say "Its the most pictures we've had taken in our life". True say.

On to the presents, I got the Autum/Winter Bape catalogue which is pretty dope Kanye West pretty much all over it this season with his callabo with Bape. A Bape tee which is looking nice and a book which does sound intresting and I will read this on the plane home plus 500HK$s. Thank you one and all.

Them 2 cats canbe lil fuckers when they want, I did want to see them fight. I say the baby male cat would win.

So I leave this to you to think about after your Christmas. Is Christmas the most over-rated day of the year or is it a time for the family to spend with one another and enjoy?

Easiest Way To Make People go "Oooooo" and "Ahhhh"

Well, today has been in some whats long, frustrating and in my case being (very) impatient. All started off when I had said "Yes" to go to Central with dad and Ian, even though I didn't really want to. The pair of them got a McDonalds (3 days running) was only chips and a drink but still McDonalds 3 days running "Get me the bag". After that crap from the US I said I want to go off on my own, I was told I had an "Attitude" and to an extent I will agree with that. but tell me would you rather have an attitude problem or be moody everyday?

Soooooooo I went off on my own round browsing the streets minus a hooded jacket (everyone else is in coats, scarfs etc). Very busy on them streets, Louis Vuitton packed with people, I was the only one who was from the Western part of the world in that shop haha. I did ask about one of the "man bags" (word sounds homo) come to 8,000HK$s which is around £512 its the same price as it is in the UK so I will say "No" to that one and buy another (shhhhhh). Anyways, Gucci was just heaving with people and the bags are shite. Over-rated! LV > Gucci FACT.

After the walk around the streets I really did need a sit down and I got that up at Harbour City just watching the sea and time pass by with a few pictures being took here and there.

Finally tonight down Harbour City there was a light and firework show with around a million to two million people (roughly guessed). Now if you know me then you know I find these shows the biggest piece of crap on earth (next to Tottenham). Stood around waiting for over 45mins to 50mins just for the show to start. We look straight and lights on the buildings on the other side of the sea just flicker and move up and down like a poxy broken yo-yo. I begain to ponder "Is this going to be worth it?" with an added sigh of "fuck this". *Whistles* fireworks go off then a "bang" "Ooooooooo" yes it isn't hard to impress people with basic colours going up in the sky like a streak of piss. Dad turned round told me to take pictures and move closer I shot him down with a "No, Ian can take them" that he did and was happy to. I could just about see the fireworks after I was moved around like a fucking pikey, woman moving infront of me one on my right dude behind munching on his Maccy Ds so loud I can hear it over fireworks. 5minutes later its over, dad turned and laughed at me saying "Wait don't say it" oh but when I did I kind of did (make sense, perfect). "After all the wait all we get was 5 minutes fireworks are just an easy way to get oooooos and ahhhhhs" FACT and it was proved tonight. Even a 6yr old agreed with me saying to his mum "Boooooooooooooooooring" high 5 that lil boy.

Walking home from this was much better, being stuck with virtually all of Kowloon and who ever else in Hong Kong. You lot could've played spot Mr Jibbles and family. "Oh there he is".

Also I realised here the females love males with glasses (random fact).

Finally to all your sneaker/kicks fans I will be copping the Nike Dunk Low Tiffany Croc Reflectors.

Enjoy your Christmas, blog later.

First Full Day (Part 2)

Well here we go for part 2 of my first day in Hong Kong.

Saturday afternoon, dad, Ian and I decided to go off to Central which is pretty busy one could say. We only decided to go to Central because of the Bape shop, no it wasn't for me it was for the little brother. The shop its self didn't have that much as I thought it would which is a shame. 2 multi camo bomber jackets, backpacks loads of Bapestas' few tees some where from the World Cup and some Ape round heads with different colours. Before we found the Bape shop after a fair amount of time going the wrong way of Queens Road, its very colourful loads of lights loads of signs loads of McDonalds yes who would've thought America's favourite fat fuckers food joint would be all over Hong Kong.

Louis Vuitton had some huge que outside and thats just to get in. Many of you who have been to Bape down the West-End or even parts of Hong Kong they love to shop and this is true. You will see loads of females with a Louis Vuitton handbag or male with the man bag as they are called.

This all lead us up to IFC where we met up with my uncle, nan and younger cousin. Went for a drink in a bar inside the IFC mall. Had on ESPN showing a college basketball game shame I couldn't see it but hey I got enough time to catch more basketball on ESPN this holiday. After the drinks and nattering we all jumped on the ferry that takes you over to Discovery Bay, this part of Hong Kong is more like the Western side of the world while the island of Hong Kong where on is the super crazy bright flashing lights Asia. The boat that they live on itself is really really nice, the master bedroom is spacious, the living room very smooth leather sofas and a big tv not too sure on the size but very nice. Did have a quick couple games of Fifa 06 (yes I'm not a Fifa fan as you all know) and won both games 1-0 and 2-0. Monday will be 'Ghost Reacon' "Hands up fucker".

And finally we went for a meal at (will add when I remember it). Now first things first the food was nice BUT do not keep me waiting when it comes to food. I have my starter when everyone is on the main course, I finished and had to sit there waiting and waiting and waiting. I mean I'm cool to wait what 5minutes but not that amount of time. I had to eat when everyone was finished, evil people looking dead at me while I rip into the first piece of my BBQ Jerked Baby Chicken. Cameras flashing, people talking grrrr ha.

Still it was nice food I will admit and a very good day.

Roll on Christmas Eve, I really don't know what will happen but right now I've got on the Aston Villa vs Man Utd game even though it should be the 2nd half of the Arsenal game which was 3-1.

First Full Day (Part 1)

Here we go first full day part 1 and damn has it been long so far. Its 1:07pm as one types away. Having woke up after 9:15am, we decided to go for a good ol' breakfest. Great way to wake yourself up in the morning I say, it was cool BUT we got their late you could say because they was clearing up bits. I had a look through what they was providing us and damn what do I see NOODLES yeeeeeeeeeeeeees! very nice they was. The milk was bah nothing major.

As we was eating I had a look out the window and all you see are huge buildings going 50 floors high wowzers, then all of a suddern 5 taxis tooting at one another cause one blocked the road shame. Had a walk around the shit (couldn't think of another word) below the hotel which had a shops, places to eat, train stations and some ferry for the people going to China.

This leads us to walking around 'The Gateway' which is some long but spreads out to be very wide mall. So many designer shops it has. How many Vivenne Westwood shops do you want? theres like 1 after each other adding up to 6. Burberry died back home but its still pretty strong over here *thumbs down*. The amount of women with Louis Vuitton bags is bonkers! I'm guessing 1 in every 5 women has one (rough guess). Males also have them man bags but of course its for busy.

Finally, we had a walk down to 'Harbour City' where the boats are. You do get a great view of the buildings and the sea. Now heres a shocker, I'm just walking around and get stopped by 3 females (more than I normally do) [Catainese accent]Hi do you think you could answer a few questions[/Cantainese accent]. So I did, they just asked about 'Where are you from?', 'What do you think of Hong Kong?', 'Where will you visit?', 'Can we take a picture with you' now that was the shocker a picture with me of all the people. The females out here are very pretty and petite.

Dad "The best thing we ever bought was the laptop". Now who in the hell would've thought my dad would say that!

Till part 2 which should be tonight I bid farewell.

So I Made It At Long Last

Goodness me I made it, we got delayed an hour 30mins on the plane. Some dosy fucker still had the whole of his boarding pass didn't he!

What do I hate about planes?

• Can't sleep
• Kids screaming/crying
• Food, this shit is disgusting.
• Not enough room

Alot of good stuff to watch. I.e. Only Fools And Horses :D yes Del falling through the bar EXCELLENT.

So what have we done since getting here in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Went to McDonalds yes the first place we saw we decided to go to and that was at 10pm. Lets just say what I had was fucking shite, McGrilled Chicken sandwhich YUCK!!!!!. Oh but check this, this is dope you can have these shakers get different types like Sea-Weed or Honey BBQ. Put your chips in the bag add the flavoured salt then shake it like a bitch. I haven't done that but I will send pictures when I do.

Shops, there is alot of them. Saw a good few Louis Vuitton shops, you ladies would enjoy it out here I tell you. A good few of you would for the shoes ha.

Right now its 12.25am I've hardly had any sleep so I might decide to right now and then update you during a busy Saturday I should have.

"I'm goin' somewhere nice where no mosquitos at"

Thats it I am outta this country till January 4th. The blog will updated daily for you lot to read. Some of you I will wind up about the shopping, you know who you are ;) .

So till I touch down at Hong Kong International Airport, peace out.

P.S. The hotel I'm staying in WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Final Day

So my blog readers this is my final full day till I reach Hong Kong on Friday. An intresting day I could say. Putting in alot of money to my account, getting credit cards ready, talking to people, buying Subway. Just a relaxing day I could say which is very good for me, I needed it.

I fly out at 9.45pm tomorrow night and land in Hong Kong around 5pm local time on Friday thats around 9am GMT.

Daily Bonus Update:
No bonus at all for any of us at work, which is a huge shame after all the work we've done.

Bloggers, go listen to some Jimi Hendrix over this festive period. Enjoy the great music this amazing musician made and appreciate it. Long live Jimi!

Final Football Match Before A Holiday

You lot are lucky I've done this 2 days running, I wasn't going to either.

Well thats it The Cobras final 6 a-side match before the Christmas and New Years break (thank god!). A game in which we should never have played. Some of us have reached a point in our game where we don't put in as much as effort as we use to. Its not because we are lazy its simple "I can't be fucked" (yes the new Mr Jibbles quote which will be printed on shirts soon). 8-0 meh, its seriously no biggie is it. The league we are in isn't really a challenge anymore.

My question to my team mates is "When was the last time we enjoyed playing a football match?"

Daily Bonus Update:
Nope no Christmas bonus at all which is a real shame. Hey thats life some of us must get on with it now.

So The Countdown Begins

So this is it. The start of yours truely daily blog on his trip to Kowloon in Hong Kong. Should be an excellent time away.

Case is being packed as I type. I know some of you will find it strange that I'm packing on a Sunday afternoon and leave on a Thursday afternoon but its just to make sure I have everything ready and not rush around on Wednesday looking for bits then finding out I don't have it.

What else can I say the weather in Kowloon from what I hear is very nice 19 celsius and thats just today. Thursday will reach 22 and again sunny. So it looks like when I step off that 12hr flight the hood on my jacket goes up, Louis Vuitton backpack on, Sony Ericsson P990i switched on. Get my suitcase then off to the hotel to rest and update. We know whos going to be really ballin' on this holiday and most defiantly not pump fakin' HA!!!.
