Today is ANZAC Day which is a national day of remembrance in all Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations.
Thus,this morning, I went to City for ANZAC Parade. I wish to pay tribute to the men and women to service the country. The parade is very large, that was about 125 groups to join this parade.
Firstly, the first group in the parade are some world war I and II ex-service men and women. Also, I found there was British ex-service men and women in the parade.

Most of Brisbane People are in a holiday mood again. Yesterday, we had a public holiday for Good Friday. On Monday(21/4). we will have a public holiday for Easter Monday. Most of people can get their usual day off on Saturday and Sunday. That is 4 days off! Then next Friday, that is an ANZAC holiday too! That will a long weekend again. During these two weeks, we only need to work 8 days! Some people (actually, they are quite a lot) took some annual leave to form two weeks holidays. That is very cool!
Last Saturday, we went to a new noodle bar, Zen corner , in Sunnybank Plaza for our lunch. When I looked at their menu, there is Hong Kong Style Wonton Noodle. That is great! I must try it!
That tasted good, quite authentic. Each wonton had prawn and pork, not bad. The noodle was nice and fresh too! Moreover, the price is reasonable too. Large size which was the one I ordered costed $12, had 12 pieces of wonton (The small one is $9). The price is fair. I was about the lunch!

Frozen Yogurt has been popular in Hong Kong for a while. Last year, I was in Hong Kong, I saw a lot of Frozen Yogurt in there. In recent years, it becomes popular in Brisbane too. All major shopping centers at least have one Frozen Yogurt.
Well, I wish to have one too! So, I bought a groupon coupon, for Nominom. That is $3 coupon has $6 value! And few weeks ago, I went to there for a trial. The way to buy frozen yogurt is interesting. They are not selling Frozen Yogurt per cup. The price is counted by weight, $2 for 40g. You can freely choose any frozen yogurt base with the topping. I got $6 voucher, therefore I could have 240g.
I chose Coffee Frozen Yogurt as the based. Choosing topping was a bit headache. So many choices, there were various selections of fruits, candy and chocolate. Finally, I chose some M&M, chocolate with some of mango and kiwi fruit. I got the job done, that was my frist frozen yogurt.
Few weeks ago, we tried Genki-Ya at Big Gun Shopping. This was my first times in there. I ordered a Miso Tonkotsu Ramen to try.It tasted very very good! The chicken was fried perfectly, not too oily. I love it. The noodle was in a good shape too! Moreover, that is not very expensive, $10.90! I am sure I will go there again!
Last week, I went to Lucky Inn for afternoon tea as our lunch.I ordered a baked black pepper sauce chicken rice which is $8.90 with a hong kong drink. The portion is not small at all. However, the most interesting feature is refill for the drink. All customers ordered afternoon meal set can have a refill for the same type of drink in the meal. That is value for money!
There are many good Indian takeaway around Brisbane, such as Touch of India at Garden City. It is quite new, I remember that only opened a few months. When I passed by the food court at level 1 I can smell the taste of curry from this restaurant. Well, I have tried their curry one times too! I ordered a curry special, included a can of soft drink, a naan bread and a curry rice. That was a good deal, only $9.90 and you can choose any curry! This times, I chose butter chicken. That was great and it tasted good, not very creamy! I love it. The dish was full of favor of curry! The naan bread was good too! I put “Touch of India” on the list of Michael’s choices for restaurants.
Yesterday, I went to the Sunnybank Chinese New Year Festival at the car park of Sunnybank Plaza. That was not a large event, but that was still great! There were some Traditional Chinese Music Performance and Loins Dancing. That was not bad at all. Moreover, some stalls sold a lot of tasty Hong Kong food. I love them all!
I bought a pack of Dim Sum in there for $1, such as a great deal! Besides of food, there were a lucky draw and some freebies, such as Chinese chili sauce and dried vegetable.
That was the best Chinese New Year Event I went( excluding the events in my church).

Tomorrow is the Chinese new year. First of All, Happy Chinese New Year. Tomorrow, there will be a number of celebrations around China Town and Sunnybank. I highly recommend the Lions Dancing in Sunnybank Plaze at 10.30am. If you won’t be around, even Westfield Carindale will have lions dancing tomorrow!
Today is the Australia Day, which is the national day of Australia. Thus, I planned to do something related with this theme. Finally, I chose to visit Koala Center, we can see Koala, which is a unique animal in Australia!
At the end, I went to Daisy Hill Koala Centre. There are three koalas,Celeste,Faith and Elsa. I can see them from the two different level viewing boardwalks along koala enclosure. I think that was the sleeping time for them. All of them was sleeping at the tree, that is too bad. Besides of the real kolas, in the center, there are a number of informative displays about the koala’s life cycle and unique biology. That was a lesson about Koala.
That was a enjoy time. The center is very easy to access, just about 5 minutes from Exit 24 of Pacific Highway. That is the most important feature is no admission fee . The most of koala sanctuaries require an admission fee! Well, this one is an education center, there are only three koala and they do not allow visitors to to handle or pat the koalas. That is different from those koala sanctuaries. Anyway, we just want to visit Koalas and learn somethings about them, that is a right place to go!
