Mardi Gras

Sorry for posting this late, but I was kinda lazy yesterday lah haha. Anway, like I said the other time, Sat was Mardi Gras (pronounced without the"s", in case some of u duno haha).

The event was supposed to start in the evening at 7plus, but Megan suggested that we go out in the morning to walk around and reach there a few hours earlier to get a good spot. So we left at about 11 in the morning. First stop, Queen Victoria Building (QVB). Well, this is a shopping centre, equivalent to say, Taka bah haha. It's where I took my pic with Queen Victoria the other time.




Okie, next, we made our way to the famous Sydney fish market and had to pass by Darling Harbour on the way.

Hmm darling harbour was more than just what u have seen above lah, but coz tat day we wanted to get to the fish market, so onli took a few pics, and nv really explored the area. So next time go again liao then post more pics bah.

We took like 30mins to reach this place manz, haha think took the longer route. Walked 1 big round. But its worth it. Definitely worth it. The place is shiok lah, fresh seafood, fresh sashimi, reasonable price. Too bad Megan dun eat seafood lah, and its quite crowded probably coz its Sat, so we din buy anything to eat frm there. But I CONFIRM will visit this place again haha.

The sashimi is damn temptingggggggg


That's me and Megan outside the fish market.

Ok, now for the supposedly highlight of the day (at the end of the day I think I'm more excited abt the fish market than the Mardi Gras lah haha). We reached there at about 4pm after having lunch at China Town (only walked a bit there, so nv take any pics, but managed to buy 2 pirated hk drama series frm there lah hahaha), and there were like quite many pple there oready manz haha.



The crowd at 4.. 3 hrs before the event

I initially wanted to show u pple the crowd at 5,6 and 7 lah, but thinking of it I think its boring lah haha, its obvious that it gets more n more crowded lah hor lol. K lah, so basically the pictures below are all taken during the event. Actually I took quite many pics lah, take until battery flat, haha but skill not there lah, a lot were quite cui. So here are some OK ones

Some sexy ladies dancing on the street before the event started. haha

Erm in the end there were 5 of us, me, linda, nicole(i think tats wat I heard lah not very sure haha), lucy and megan. the 3 gals in the middle are from Holland.


Event not offcially started, these pple on bike are going to the starting point to get ready.

This is a nice pic I've taken I think hahaha. Think hes the only one on the bicycle showing off his butt bah haha

The pple on the motor bikes kick start the event.

A few of the women were topless lah. haha but din manage to take any pic.

Bascially, throughout the parade, the pple walk in in groups, with a vehicle in front, then a grp of pple following behind, with different themes. The people behind will dance to watever music the vehicle in front plays

Can u see what's on the banner? "Would Jesus Discriminate?"

haha. In short this whole parade is about fighting for gay and lesbian rights lah

"Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby"

the words on the vehicle read: www.gaycatholic.com.au

can go check it out if u interested. wahahaha

"Mature Age Gays"


This vehicle is by IKEA I think. The words in front of the vehicle was like "Proud Supporter of the Gay and Lesbian Community" haha

This photo is not very well taken lah, but I jux wan to put it to show that they not only bring in Jesus, even Buddha. haha

The parade just went on and on and on.... haha at about 10, we were getting bored lah, and it seems never ending. So we decided that we had enough and head back home. Think the whole thing shld end about 11plus bah, then I heard theres like a 12 hour non stop party at some place, tix is like $150 per person. haha.

Overall it's a good experience lah, nv seen this kind of thing before. But for me I think once is enough le bah hahaha.

Okie, wkend has ended, and its back to lesson time haha. Quizzes and exams nearing for all of u le rite lol. Good luck! =)
