My fulfilling weekend

Friday

Went to University Cultural Centre to watch the Electronic Lab Music Concert. Quite an interesting one. The whole setting was laid back and relaxing with sofas and mats on the floor.. Ok but the thing is ed and I were somewhat late for the concert. Hee.. So we had to sit on the chairs provided... This time experience was a whole new different one compared to the last year. I just felt comfortable and enjoyed myself...

Oh ya, I even got myself a free t-shirt by completing a survey there. At first ed dont want to fill up as he say the most will just get a pen and he is just plain lazy to fill it up. With nothing much to do, I decided to help the lady who was giving out the surveys at the door. ( I understand and been through the hardship of completing surverys. hee) To my surprise, they gave me a T-shirt after I complete it. How nice.. Haa.. Soon after, ed and a swarm of our friends came to fill up the survey. haaa...

Yeah, I finally got to eat the prata at the prata house before heading back to hostel.. A rewarding night...


Saturday
Had dinner at the fisherman's wharf... (this is suppose to be a place in California) Ed and I were on board a bus when we caught sight of this shop selling fish and chips.. Curiosity got the better of us, so we hopped off the bus to try it for ourselves.. Hee.. The serving portion was big and the food was tasty... it was relatively cheap costing only $6.50 for the big portion of chips and fish..

Follwing that, we went to the Arts House for the Spanish Film, What have i done to deserve this... This is in conjuction with the Spnaish Film Festival. A 1980s film, it depicts a cleaning woman who slogged her life to make ends meet. (working 18 hours a day) The show was quite unusual in the sense that there there is a weird and funny grandmother who is very stingy, a husband who does not care much for the family and is into forgery. For more, you can view it at the Arts House... But the tickets are going fast as is free and there are limited shows and seats...

I was setting much higher expectations prior to the show as the film has won several awards. But I was kinda disappointed after watching it.. But anyway, is still a interesting show.. Though a bit weird.. hee (my personal feelings)

After the film, went to river hongbao to catch the fireworks... It was so so pretty...


Sunday
Had 4 hours of tuition... Then went back home to make stuff for valentime day.. hehe. Hope you all will like it. Then at night, headed back to River hongbao.. took some photos of the fireworks. It was much prettier than those on Saturday. Maybe to mark the end of Chinese new year.

The fireworks were so interesitng. SOme look like the shape of a satellite, waterfalls, there were even heart shapes one.. I love those colourful ones... It was very magnificient. You can imagine the crowd there. I personally feel that it was even nicer than those at the National Day.
