b4 i continue wif my tour yday, jz wan2 blog sumthing bout 2day n cny..wut a sad cny i'm hving this yr..morn went church which was v nice n v touching coz it was amazing grace sunday, a day which d whole world celebrate d abolition of slavery..alot of touching moments wen d africans in church spoke bout tis topic, showed us pics of dungeons used 2 store d slaves, n d most touching thing that nearly made me cry was d video on how d song amazing grace came about..n short clips of how John Newton bertaubat fr being a slave trader 2 a person who fought strongly against slavery..reali brought tears 2 my eyes..but din cry la..paiseh ma..so many ppl ard..
so den aft church we went 2 another uni-organised event, which was a trip 2 perth city, 2 watch cny performances..wen we reached, there were tis group of ppl dunno doing wut there..playing sum instruments..d instrument like sum malay instrument..den got a couple of dances..which were kinda weird oso..like malay dance oso wan..d moves oso like those dangdut kinda thing..lenggang here lenggang there..we were beginning 2 think mayb it was hari raya in perth instead of cny.. *sweat*

d whole time we were waiting 4 d lion dance 2 start!!coz we saw 4 diff groups of lion dance ppl set up their booths n waiting 2 perform wan..so i guessed they're like gonna compete or sumthing lidat..c c wen it started, like more den 10 lions came out n started 2 'dance'!!each group owned a few i guess..n each group were like clashing their cymbals n banging their drums like nobody's business!!each wif their own beat..so their own lions had 2 keep up wif dem while mingling wif other lions..so super loud n noisy..n sooooo super hot 2 stand in d sun!!but we persevered until they all finished 'fighting', n took many pics..hehe..

but aft dat, d events began 2 bore us..like alot of 'lou hang' went on stage 2 sing those super old songs which i dunno..like tien mimi & gei wo yi ge wen or sumthing lidat..super weird la those old aunties n uncles goyang goyang on d stage..

den we got so bored dat we went 2 hunt 4 lunch..n i ended up eating nuggets n fries fr kfc n mcflurry fr mcd (duh..) aih..so pathetic rite?? where got ppl cny eat fast food wan??


n den wen we reached home at bout nearly 6, we had 2 get ready 2 go 2 Man Lin Restaurant, near karrawara there..had 2 reach there by 6.45..n join up wif d others who registered 4 it s well (coz need early reservation wan)..since karawara is jz 5 mins bus ride fr vickery hse, we left our hse at bout 6.30..reached d bus stop bout 6.35..jz 2 c dat we missed d 6.25 bus, n d nx n LAST bus is at 7.25!!so sad rite??so we decided 2 walk there!! n mich was in heels!! geng..so we walk like cross country 2 man lin..n realised oni v few ppl signed up 4 d dinner..like less den 20..n d place was full so we had 2 wait until there were tables available..while waiting, there was another lion dance..ntg spectacular la if compared 2 msia's wan..coz mostly d ppl under d lion r angmoh..hehe..not s skillful s chinese i think..hehe..but d trainer was a chinese..so not bad la d stunts..

den we got our table..me, mich, lingweng, siawtze, yeefang, yijia, yityeng, kiongzheng n yiemin shared table..we ordered all d (we think) nice nice food..but aft waiting 4 bout 2 hrs oni d food came, n summore d food was not great at all, we were kinda disappointed..dunno y yeefang seems 2 b d oni 1 who likes d food..i feel d food, say oni chinese restaurant la, but d dishes no chinese taste la if u noe wut i mean..d chicken soup oso like starchy starchy wan..so angmoh taste wan..n d whole place like so dimly lit dat we cud barely c wut we were eating!!d char siew oso not like char siew wan..summore d chinese tea bitter like dunno wut..!aiya basically nont worth it la..n it cost us $11 each!!aih..nvm la..cny la..
