It started from Thursday 7th October when our choir have to sing for every first Thursday of the month. The following day, we have a pre-ceremony for the First Saint of Australia, Mary MacKillop and also your choir Hong An 1st Anniversary. Everyone dressed so nicely in our uniform and after the Mass we gathered in the school hall for the celebration with foods and cutting the cake.
Still haven't recovered from last night's party yet. I had to wake up early on Saturday morning to attend our termly youth leaders' gathering Lua Thieng at Cabramatta. Fortunately, this time we spent most of the time playing, singing and eating so the day wasn't too bad.
That afternoon, however, I have to attend my work colleague "Maria & Tim" wedding. The ceremony took place at Sacred Heart, Cabramatta. The ceremony were in both English & Vietnamese, the bride looks so beautiful and the groom is not far from it.
Everyone then go back home to get change and ready for the reception that night at Crystal Palace, Canley Heights. We had so much fun, the food was delicious and the music was groovy. All of us were on the dance floor. I enjoyed every moment of the wedding. Congratulations and goodluck to Maria & Timothy. All the best for the rest of your life.
Over the next day, my body was so sored from all the dancing, yet I still have to get up early for another long day trip. I guess because it was the 10/10/10 so many people wanted to celebrate just anything. First I drove to my boyfriend's house and both of us go to Bankstown Centro to choose a present for my niece's christening. Then I got back to his place to change into my traditional dress 'ao dai' to attend the ceremony at St. Felix de Valois, Bankstown. There are families and relatives of 2 sides present, the ceremony was short but everyone was so happy for the couple.
Then we have to head straight to St. Therese, Lakemba for my old friend's wedding ceremony Hoai & Ngan. The flowers were so beautiful and everything went on quite well despite the priest was a bit late.
We then head back to my cousin's house in Fairfield for the christening party (and helping out). There were so much foods, and a live band from my cousin's work place "The TNT" composed of everyone in the same family was helping with the entertainment. It was so much fun. The kids got their own jumping castle and leave the adults alone :)
Right after that, we head back to Bankstown for a bit of a rest then get ready for the reception that evening. Only a few more hours before we can go back home and sleep. What a long day already. We had a lot of fun during the reception. Even my boyfriend asked me to dance lol...that was a very rare occasion. My whole family is sitting together in one table. All my friends are at other tables but we ran around chatting and catching up, dancing and laughing. It was a great night to see everyone again!!
Once again, congratulations to Hoai & Ngan, wish you all the best on your marriage life!!
