Watching Andre/Sinna perform in person a the best night a mi life . Him know how fi handle eh crowd , which music dem want an throughout the whole show him keep everybody active , singing and dancing especially the woman dem weh nuh stop scream him name an wine to him song dem. Him tek 10 minutes break in between an gi some other  guests artists dem chance fi perform but, eh minute him guh back pon the stage the whole party guh wild . About 4am inna eh mawning before it done and even then wi did have fi spend wah next half an hour wid some vip people weh want picture wid him an when mi tell yuh seh eh woman dem nuh ramp dem doh ramp fi bend ova in front a him , hug him up like him a dem man all tek video a wine pon him to one a him song dem and him well entertain it while mi just did tired and ready fi guh home .

The drive back to eh office mi nuh recall it cause mi doze off the minute wi lef eh party only fi wake up to him a shake mi shoulder an a ask mi weh mi live . Mi mumble sumuh to him an doze off back , when mi wake up sometime lata mi find miself inna mi bed and fi wah moment mi did confused a wonda how mi reach inna mi bed . Mi guh back ova eh events inna mi head but, mi neva recall actually a gi Sinna mi address but, somehow mi end up inna mi house inna mi owna bed . Still inna eh party dress but, no shoes and wid a/c on and cover inna sheet .

Mi reach fi mi phone pon the bedside table ready fi call him but, mi si seh him lef mi wah message pon mi phone cause mi did save him number cause obviously since mi a work fi him mi have to do that . 

SINNA: Mi  get yuh address from Adrian cause yuh neva did a mek nuh sense when mi ask yuh an Shanique falla mi. A she tek off yuh shoes an turn on eh a/c but a mi cova yuh wid eh sheet . By eh way fi a young girl mi rate eh look a yuh place . Yuh nuh need fi come a work todeh cause yuh need fi rest cah have yuh a drop a sleep pon eh work . Doh badda mek dis wah habit though mi get seh yuh tired but, pon dah work yah yuh hafi willing fi mek sacrifice an sleep aguh be one a dem that's why eh pay suh good cause a nuh patty shop business dis. When yuh wake up an by that mi mean wake up good memba seh Adrian need eh file a the expenses cause wi a guh Bahamas tomorrow   .
