Chinese New Year Festival!

So, on Saturday and Sunday (1/31 & 2/1),

there was a Chinese New Year Festival in China Town!

Big Surprise!

lol

DAY 1

Anyway,

I signed up to do Community Service.

I did the Saturday 2nd shift.

It was from 1pm - 6pm.

I had an awesome time!

Trinh assigned me to face painting.

All the kids that came to me were really cute!

It was mostly little girls.

Some boys

and some parents.

And a few young couples.

Anyway, it's the year of the Ox,

but I notice the dragon and rabbit are very popular.

haha.

I have to say...

I did not do a good job painting animals.

Except for bunnies. =P

Everytime someone came around asking for a Dragon,

all of us would point at

Cathleen.

She's a pro.

But everytime someone came around asking for Chinese Characters,

everyone would point at me.

hahaha.

There was this one kid who was really funny.

He wanted me to paint a knight.

I was wondering.

HOW?

Finally, I figured I'd draw him a sword and shield.

That works right?

He liked it.

But you know what?

It was so out of the topic.

hahaha

But he was such a cute little boy!

I wanted to hug him!!!
XD

Around 3ish,

a bunch of us kinda slacked off

because the parade had started

and the crowd was paying attention to it.

So we did not have a lot of custormers.

=P

SOOOOO!!!!

We went to this Verizon booth

and took free pictures!

It was awesomee!!!

I have it posted on my facebook.

Go there if you wanna check it out.

=)

After we got our pictures taken,

It was back to work.

Untill 5'0 clock.

Then Lily and I

went to watch YUCA's

Traditional and Modern Dance.

It was really cool.

I was pretty impressed!

I think out of EVERYONE,

Justin's solo performance was the BEST.

So cool how the fan moved!

Oh,

I forgot to mention.

While I was waiting for someone

to come for face painting,

a bunch of stupid fobby guys

start playing around with the

spraying party string.

One of them sprayed it

RIGHT INTO MY MOUTH.

ewgh.

It tasted nasty.

After the show,

my mom came and

wanted me to go home a little earlier.

So I went to see Dennis,

return my name tag

and TADA!!!!

Home!

hehe

DAY 2

I had so much fun the day before,

that I wanted to go back the next day.

Which is today (Sunday)

I went to Church in the morning,

and got home around 1ish.

Then I texted Alan

who was supposed to go

YESTERDAY! (Satuday)

Unfotunately,

He had to go to his cousin's birthday.

Lol.

Oh well.

At least he got to watch the performance.

I was trying to get a hold of Vanessa too.

Little did I know she signed up for

the Sunday 1st shift!!!

Alan bumped into her on her way home.

=.="

MAN.

I wanted to smack her!!

So, it was just me and Alan!

It was still lots of fun.

We got to the festival and

there was not as many people as yesterday.

DUH

lol.

We went to the YUCA booth first.

Had a chat here and there with a couple of friends

then we went to take pictures

at the Verizon booth!

I noticed that

Alan is very widely loved.

hahaha

And thanks to his height,

everyone who loves him

spots him just like

THAT.

hahaha

Ooooo then we bumped into

Phan and Diana

we told them to take pictures with us!

And we all look awesomely funny!

XD

(Will post those pictures soon!)

Next,

we walked around some more.

Alan wanted Jamba Juice

So I bought him one,

cuz he forgot his money!

hahaha

But he bought chicken rice for us both later.

=P

It was yummie.

THANKS ALAN!

The performace on Sunday was

slightly earlier.

Around 3ish.

So we just sat there and waited.

I saw Anthony

and I told him to come over.

He sat with us throughout the whole show.

During the modern dance show,

he was soooo mean.

There was a bunch of guys that weren't really good at the dance,

So he shouted,

"GO HOME!"

=.=" seriously.

That is just mean.

After the show,

I bumped into Jenna!!

I told her I'd go to her store and meet up with her.

Then we walked away.

Checked out more stuff.

Yeap.

After that,

the people who performed were out!

I took pictures with a bunch of them

and then headed to Alpine.

It was a really nice walk.

The weather these past 3 days

were really nice.

It was breezy and the sun was warm.

So perfect.

hahaha

Anyway, we got to Alpine

and headed to China Town Plaze

where Jenna's store is.

I got there a little bit before Jenna.

Her mom and brother were at the store.

They told me she'd be back soon,

so we decided to just walk around.

Just when Alan and I were walking out,

she showed up.

haha.

But her family needed to stay a little longer

to finish up work.

So, Alan and I just wandered around.

We walked into the China Town "Pasar Malam"

It really did look like the Pasar in Malaysia.

All the stuff hung up.

Everything cheap

from China,

fake.

yeap yeap.

LOL

Then my mom came to pick us all up.

Like all.

Alan, Jenna, her mom and me up.

Except her brother.

haha.

He told us to leave without him

TOO BAD.

He had to walk home.

I don't think he minds though.

=P

This is pretty much the end of the day

and week

It was really cool.

Great day.
