an eventful weekend! dim sum, italian, seafood, dessert, batman and WYD!

arrival of the WYD Cross and Icon at darling harbour!
(haha and i didn't actually get this close to it..i ripped this photo off a friend)

hoards and hoards of people!

haha and i thought this was pretty funny..a smart way not to lose sight of friends/family..

the pope in his popemobile!

i admit i wasn't that excited about wyd before i actually took part in the events..i suppose i could have participated in more if i had registered/volunteered for more activities..but i think i'm pretty happy with what i did take part in :) i think just being a small small part of an event that involved the entire catholic community worldwide was exhilarating..and it just shows the power He has to bring everyone together.

haha although most of my non-catholic friends only had complaints about the road closures and traffic jams due to WYD..i admit parking really was a pain..but i also thought it cool just seeing pilgrims flood the streets in their colourful outfits and high spirits..

so yes that was wyd. and such a tiny part of it..my sister must have alot more to tell..haha she even took part in the 8am bridge walk to randwick racecourse..thats about 10+km? good for u:) i only wish i had been able to get a better look at the stations of the cross..i only got close enough to see it all on the big screen at darling harbour..and what i did see on screen looked fantastic. they had actors to play jesus and the various characters from each of the 12 stations..

Stations of the Cross, Station 7 - Simon helps Jesus to carry his Cross, Darling Harbour.

the last supper in front st mary's.

Stations of the Cross, Jesus is crucified.

tired now. woke up this morning cos my stomach was feeling funny and was unable to get back to sleep..haha maybe too much good food this weekend. or too much shao rou fan! hahah yx da-boaed 1kg of shao rou and it took us 3 meals to finish all that shao rou. i'm quite happy to not have shao rou for awhile now. sigh. 1kg! you have no idea how much shao rou that is.

and go watch batman! it really is good. although abit long..i felt a little lightheaded coming out of the cinema..haha but thats just me. storyline was more packed and confusing than the first one but very fast-paced so it never seems boring. and i like all his cool little gadgets in this movie! but we have come to a conclusion..the first step to becoming a superhero is you have to be RICH. all that cool machinery doesn't come free.

oh yes and thanks ollie for the little surprise on my bed! i love it :) i'm sorry i wasn't here to see you off :( i'll catch up with u again at the end of the year ok.
