Chrisa was the bubble girl and Cher Cher and i were dancing for the wedding. People was everywhere getting ready for the bride to arrive. Three of us stood eating purple iced cookies watching people running here and there. It was a very hot afternoon!

Soon the bridal party arrived all in purple.Mum helped chrisa to them and when everyone was seated the music started. Chrisa walked down aisle the blowing bubbles in the air. Followed by the three brides maids and the maid of honour. Then finally the bride herself, in a white dress with sparkly beads and a smile.

Bridal Shower

Peggen Cher Cher's Bridal Shower in Hui Li Cher Cher's House was a feast! There was a long table filled with platters of food. There was spinach puffs, egg sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, chocolate cake, cheese cake, and mini pizzas. Cream puffs, Carrots and dip, Chocolate Mousse for desert. i probaly forgot something but anyway there was a lot of food! After everyone ate, all of us went outside and grouped up in fours,...then one person would be dressed up in tissue paper as a bride then Peggen Cher Cher would choose the winner of the tissue paper "brides"

We did some dancing and enjoyed ourselves.....time to go shopping for chrisa's purple flowers. and that was the end of the bridal shower.

What a nice sur-price

Shopping at DFO for cotton on kids tank tops.

We entered the shop hoping or good prices just like the last time we came. We looked around the shop, flipping through the racks of clothes. Soon I found a light pink tank top at the price of $2.50. Great! Thinking, even though we got the tank tops two years ago at $2, it was only 50 cents difference.

( Now, here's the awesome part...=) )

After mum paid for the items, she looked at the receipt...then only we realized that my tank top was only $1.25!! When we went home, we were talking about the sale on my tank top. Mum said that my tank top was actually $9.95. Then it went on sale for $7.95. Then $5.00 to $2.50, now $1.25.....wow! God really answers my prayers of cheap cotton on clothes....=)

Chinese & German

Cher Cher & I were going to Esther's school excursion. we were riding the train to the city. then going to China town. The excursion was at the Chinese museum.

After the train ride we walked to the entrance of the Chinese museum. There were some big rocks there. We sat down for our morning tea. Some stood in groups, some students sat on rocks and short brick walls about 1 and a 1/2 feet tall. the students took out apples, sandwiches, chips, cookies out of their bag to eat.

Soon, the teacher called morning tea over. we walked in the museum and met our guide for the day. she took us to the basement where she told us all about the Chinese, being poor, came to Australia to be gold miners. she told us about traveling there. we could even walk in a fake boat where then it would shake a bit like it was actually floating on water.

Then we went up the next floor, learning about the culture.

we walked round the museum learning about foot binding & gods they worship.
we learned about dragon parades and lion dances. soon it was time for lunch.

Everyone lined up in two lines to walk to the German restaurant.
At the German restaurant, we ate chicken schnitzel. it was Delicious....it came with mash potatoes and so i stuffed it with the mash potatoes. it tasted good too.

Our desert was apple strudel. The ice cream was also yummy. a bit of black forest cake was nice. i enjoyed the day.
