City Festival

I met up with a friend yesterday for dinner in the city having no idea the Chinese new year festival was still going. It just happened to be at the exact corner I told my friend to meet me at. She was late. At least she called me, so that was fine, but I spent one hour watching random fobs singing karaoke to the city. A crowd of a few hundred, but the prize of $200 wasn't the real draw card for some contestants. For one girl declaring she was single had hopes of meeting guys. I suddenly realised I enjoy watching strangers singing and dancing in front of such a big audience. Some were good, some were not. That's where I fit in, knew I shouldn't try, spare everyone's ears. Had I have tried I would have sang in Viet, since that's what I mostly sing, but usually after having a few shots before.

My friend finally came. We ate those crab claws that I love at Asian weddings. They weren't as good, but what can you expect from a roadside store. Finished it off with some delicious dumplings at the Shanghai Dumpling restaurant in Tattersalls Lane off Little Bourke Street. I highly recommend eating there. If you ever need someone to go with you, I'm always happy to escort you there...mmm...dumplings...droolz...

I checked out my apartment today for the first time ever, despite buying it over a year ago. It looks so good there and the view is great. Can see the city off the balcony, fully self contained + lounge/games areas too. I would have liked living in it, but I have to find someone to rent it. Very impressed, I was a little worried but I like what I see. If anyone is interested ask me!! Still wish I lived there. Maybe in another lifetime.
