Brisbane Christmas tree lighting 2016 | Lifestyle

Since young, I always watch western movies & I've learned that Christmas is always a big thing in the western countries (Australia as well). It is officially a month to go for Christmas! YAY!!( ok, to be exact is 29 days) Although Australia season is going into Summer, but this does not stop the excitement for the locals. Cause i came from a 4 Summer season country, Malaysia, this year's Christmas is nothing different from my country. I bet there are lots of not local Asians are going to have their 1st summer Christmas ~ especially my friends, since they come from a 4 seasoned country

Lets enjoy the countdown of the lighting event. 

p/s: Sorry for the out of focus, i think my camera unable to detect the sudden lighting

This is the 1st time I joined my friend to go for a lighting event. Although the schedule was set to be lighting up at 6:30pm, the lighting up was delayed to 7pm, for unknown reason but probably it was because the sun set late yesterday.

After light up

We waited for an hour for this lighting event and it was quite disappointing to me (like just a lil bit). I thought there were more things to just the light up of the Christmas tree, but it was literally JUST the lighting up.... Ok to be fair, there are Christmas carolling going on the stage area. It is still not bad, I mean, we non-locals should be there to experience their culture right? Well this is part of Brisbane's main event of the year, so I think it was worth the go for an experience. 

Thanks to my buddies for the invite, I enjoyed alot of crap talk with them. I also enjoyed laughing at how santa sang "Rudolph the red nose reindeer" with his broken singing & out of tune singing X'D! A great day to spend with friends.

Some information:

This is the largest Christmas tree in Brisbane, it is also the 1st solar powered Christmas tree ( huge thumbs up for eco-friendly) The solar panel is placed on the star, top of the tree, providing power to 1.5 meters of LED lights that are surrounding the tree. 

A Time-Lapse video from Visit Brisbane to show how the tree was build.

Hope all of you have a great time preparing Christmas!

how do I start?

Apparently I'm in my Summer's break while waiting for my internship here in Australia. I am really very bored~
Okay okay~ This time i must swear to myself to blog every once a week. I know some people say that I should blog like a hobby, whenever I feel like too, just blog. But I feel that I should do something consistantly. I've started blogging but i stopped due to my college work, I started youtubing but i stopped due to my uni work. Nothing is consistant.

There's this one thing that actually part of the reason that I paused all these blogging & youtubing is actually, its shy to say cause i'm a grown adult.... "I'm embarassed." I'm embarassed of looking myself in video, thinking that my topic for my video is not good enough. I kept thinking which ever blogging/ youtubing, my topic isnt good enough and I'm embarassed of myself.(yes part of me is a perfectionist)

So I thought I should contiue my blog again. This time I must be Very determained and consistant... I believe I said this things many times, but I really need free time(from homeworks and assignments) and motivation.

Will try to have a better topic next blog~  okay I promise It will be a better blog post than this~
also I will finish up the renovation of my blog~

love,
