ive been on this blog everyday..but before i can finish one para..i would be super tempted to sleep!you know..fighting with jet lag after one whole day of walking around is totally killing.hahaha!
well!on my second day, i went to this children’s festival!(thats where i met the love of my life!!hahaha!!)this event is super meaningful lah!its called “LIFE IS GOOD!” its to help the children there raise funds!but i only dontated one dollar but got like alot of freebies.hahaha!played the hula hoop, gunny bag competition,tug of war…ate free ben and jerry’s ice cream (ang moh also very kiasu one lor,they also queue for the free ice cream.hahaha!),and met a whole lot of cute kids there!there were so much life in the whole place!the kids running around, the rock band concert for children singing really silly songs but all the kids dancing to the music..SO CUTEEE LAHH!!you see random parents with their child just sitting on the patch of SUPER green grass eating their super messy sausage bun, with the mayo and mustard and other funny sauces oozing out from very part of the bread..
we also went on a man-hunt!!took photos of alot of children and MAN.hahaha!i bet you have met my boyfriend matt..took picture with this chapstick guy (that’s izzy’s boyfriend)..the green tea guy (that is karryn’s) and the other green tea guy (charlane’s).hahaha!quite cute ahhh!!i will post the pictures below!!but when we came back and paraded around with the pictures,we realised that my another coursemate took picture with a group of sailors.DAMNIT.we lost.hahaha!
i took alot of ballons to decorate my rooms, but i gave it away (one out of three lah.hahaa)to a kid at the train station!hahaha!i gave it away not because the kid was cute okay..coz he looked at the balloon and could not take his eyes off it!but he’s cute also lah!!hahaha!on the train,i saw this pair of father and child who went for the event too (coz the kid had all her face painted holding the balloon) and the father was taking the opportunity to explain to her why life is good (yes.i eavesdropped).he was explaining that she had a lot of little things in life that she should not take for granted.i thought he did a fantastic job using this opportunity to remind the children how much they have!
i dont know man..this whole festival seemed like its all games and fun..but at the same time, it impacted me quite a bit!it got me thinking how much life meant to me, and how much we should appreciate it!we were thinking to organizing something like this on our own!cool eh!i have been appointed the “MOFF”-ministry of funfair.hahaha!so cool ah!hahhaa!!(this is a joke ah) but i really hope that i can do something like this and impact others like how it has impacted me and alot more of us!!
after that,we went to quincy market and the rest of the shops there..there was abercrombie and fitch (THE GUYS THERE ARE DAMN HOT) and i was walking in the shop with 2 stupid ballons hung on my bag.sian.hahaha!victoria secret..urban outfitters,gap,american eagles(where i HAVENT went till now).but all the things are like super expensive and not my style..i still prefer taiwan’s shopping.hahaha!but the rest bought alot of things though!!there was a lot of buskers along the way and it is amazing how the americans can just cheer for the buskers,and how the buskers can just openly ask for money.like literally “put your cash into my charity box”.but it was really fun!!went back to quicy market for our dinner..and i shared pasta with amanda and tania.coz we were still unfamiliar with their money, so we took some time to figure out lah..then the stupid black made fun of us coz we are chinese.basket.racism.they did not notice that they were black issit.i got one whole dictionary on YOUR jokes lor.basket.
