ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day

Woke up at 4.15am took a nice cold shower to wake myself up and put on a sweater, left the house at 4.40am. My house mate, Kor Kor Toon and I were going to ANZAC Day (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps). Kor Kor Toon came and picked us up, and off we were to ANZAC Day's Dawn Service held at King's Park. ANZAC Day is a memorial service that is held in the whole of Australia, from Tas, Qld, Vic and WA. ANZAC Day is where they will remember all the soldiers that fought during World War 1 at Gallipoli Turkey. They had 2 mins of silents, laying of wreaths, Fly By and speeches. We stood there for around one and a half hours at King's Park, listening to all the history of the war. It was such a memorable service, to see how the Aussies embraces their history and respects the man and woman who died. Emotions were in the air when they did the 2 mins of silents. The number of people that turned up was so amazing, whether its in their army uniforms or just casual. But I was freezing up there. Watching the sunrise above Perth's skyline was just Great. The service ended around 6.30am. After the service we just decided to just walk around King's Park and just enjoy nature before going for a nice hot Bacon Mac muffin at Macdonald. Yumm.

I wonder why Singapore don't really have this type of service for the man and woman who died in the wars. They really take it seriously here.



After a nice Mac Breakfast we went to Kor Kor Toon's house to just take a rest before going to a Chocolate Factory. And guess what, while driving up to Kor Kor Toon's house; we saw DOLPHINS AGAIN. This time they were really close, but we could not stop because there were cars at our back. That really made my day. haha. At the Chocolate Factory, you can taste all the different types of chocolates they had for free.

After the Chocolate Factory we went for a Bible Study picnic at Burswood Park. We had cottage pie, pizza, KFC and many more. Bible Study beside the river, under the shady tree was the best way to enjoy nature. And we celebrated Kor Kor Toon's Birthday. We did a surprise for him, it was suppose to be just the my Bible Study group, but planed for the South Perth Church friends to come and surprised him with a "marble cake" haha. He was really surprised. haha. We had so much fun, playing captains ball and just drinking and eating. But every good thing has to end soon. Me and my house mate had to go back for dinner by 6pm and it was 5pm already.Kor Kor Toon had to have a lonely nights dinner :(

But it was a GREAT FUN DAY TODAY :)

....GOD BLESS....
