Accent...

The only local festival ever so close to the Easter Show... The exact day was Sunday, 18 September 2005. My couz and her daughters were kinda planning on going and I wanted to come too... but being a lazy ass I woke up really late in the morning (it wasn't afternoon yet... phew!) so I stayed back at home for a while... coz I was kinda reluctant on going alone I asked another couz to come with me... (since she is working close to home that is...)

And for your information I went really late compare to my couz and her daughters... I went about 3 hours later... :P And so whilst I was walking towards the shop where my other couz works I noticed my couz and her daughters walking back! Imagine my surprise! Well... she didn't say anything much though... although she did mentioned that people are getting ready to go home... but the fest ends at about 5 so... that makes me a bit reluctant... but I went anyways...

My couz and I met at the shop (after the shop closed that is...) and went... And just for the record it was about the second time in my almost 7 years living in Burwood that I ever noticed there were festivals!! Imagine... I used to live upstairs to a shop that practically within reach to the festival by a couple of steps!! Yes... me and my laziness...

So we went... one main street, which leads to Westfield was closed off completely... which was GREAT!! Coz I never knew what it felt like walking in the middle of this main street!! (unlike Easter Show it was a whole new satisfaction... ^--^) The main events are at Burwood Park which is quite a few metres... but along the street there were bands, foods, shops offering discounts, stands of the shops etc... but there weren't many...

When we arrived at the REAL thing... Oh my goodness... it was like Easter Show all over again... And again, please note due to my laziness I tend to ignore most parts of Burwood, I just realised how frickin' big the park is!! Imagine... there were hills there! I never knew... and now I do...

It was very crowded and there were a lot of stands and stuffs going around everywhere... and we went to the upper hill where there were a more err youthful entertainment and there were big slides and other playthings... I dunno... anyways... the real entertainment has to be the stage... hahahaha it was soo funny... tsk... hip hop dance... what kind of name is that?!? yesh... anyways... there were this dance group on the stage and funnily enough there was only one guy performing... makes you wonder didn't it?

Anyways... we got bored of laughin' at it after a while... well... we weren't really laughing at it... but still that was a bit harsh... let's just say... we were partly enjoying the show... so... we got bored and went away to the lower hill...

That was MUCH better...!! There was also another stage but I think the lower hill is for more family oriented plays... well... there was this comedy show... I think more silent comedy actually... they were doing all this crazy, silly things around the stage... I can't stop laughing!! There were these three guys... two of em' are in the middle sort of the sound orchestra I guess... the music sort of conveys the emotion at the time like the funeral march song or when the other guy was chasing the little kid the music get faster and faster... yesh... anyways...

We went... yet again... and just to note... just to think that the show was almost over is an understatement coz there were HEAPS of people there!! So I probably got the wrong info... :P we were kinda planning to go to Westfield coz my couz is having a GRADUATION!! NEXT WEEK!! O GOSH!! Oh my...! I'm so excited for her...

Yes... yes... moving on... we went near the end of the park going to Westfield where there is ANOTHER stage... but this time it was more of singing... there was this 50 year old lady singing rock ballads!! How cool is that?!? She got bleached short stylised hair wearing black top and pants... and oh my gosh can she sing... SHE WAS VERY GOOD!! I could almost say that she is almost excellent though... maybe it was just me at the time but she can really do those high notes... but I kinda saw her face gone red... hmm...

Anyways... the funniest thing is that out of the whole crowd (fyi, it wasn't really a big crowd... it was... semi medium... I guess...) there was only this one asian guy dancing to the songs!! wow... very brave... I think that is because most of the crowd is comprised of old people and small kids and err... families? But it was the funniest sight... coz he was just moving to the left and the right whilst bopping his head up and down! sorry... but at least he enjoyed the entertainment...

But I kinda feel sorry for the whole concert though... there was not a vibe in the air, man... And I think as a last song she did John Farnham's "Simpy the Best"? I don't know the name of the song... and there were these volunteers (the people in fluoro orange jumpsuits? I think they were sorta sponsoring the concert or sumthing... coz they were on the side below the stage) They were clapping their hands up in the air... but... no one replied... some people just boredly clapped their hands together without energy and some just ignore it... aww... I feel kinda sorry now... It was like one of those awkward moments that you just wish would never occur I guess?

I don't know the end of the song though coz it was getting late and we have to go to Westfield soon... it was nearing time to close...

Well... nothing much can be said whilst in Westfield... although... when we went to this shop (I can't remember the name of the shop and yes... it just happened yesterday and I still can't remember the shop's name) and my couz was trying on this shirt... which looked great on her... and so the salesgirl was enticing her to buy bla bla bla... you know the drill... and my couz said that it was for her graduation... and because this is the first graduation she ever gone to and thus a part of... she doesn't know what to wear... and the salesgirl said that when her older brother was going for his graduation he just wore a tee and jeans! wow... I never knew... yeah... I know... it would be hidden behind a veil of cloak but still... you need to dress the part to feel the part... (haha... this reminds me of that movie that Robin Williams did for that kid that grew up quicker than everybody else? Was it? and he wore no clothes whatsoever under the cloak... that was funny... hahahahaha... ha... ha... yes... anyways...)

Nothing happened in Westfield besides that... nothing interesting anyways... yeah... I wished I could have brought my digicam with me... so I get to put pics in this blog... but again... I was too lazy...

That's all the news for today... *sigh... I'll see ya soon... OH YEA... and next week is a break! YAY!! Can't wait... waiting... waiting... waiting... dreaming... dreaming... dreaming... well... see ya... still dreaming...
