Some major online stores will have a fast sale on their selected products during the time, such as Myer, Coles,  Sheridan and Chemist Warehouse to promote online shopping.Those participated stores are from computer stores to supermarket and house ware. Almost every things is covered. The most  attractive offer to me is from Coles Click & Collect. If you buy $100 in one shop, you get $20 off!

Tomorrow 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. Also, the day is to honor Australian and New Zealanders soldiers took part in the operations at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915.

Recently, Yuen’s Market opened a new branch in Calamvale Marketplace. Finally, I had a chance to visit this Asian grocery store at the early of this week.
This store is smaller than others branches of Yuen’s Market, much smaller than the one in Sunnybank, that is a kind of “express” version of Yuen’s Market, there are only a few rows of shelves. However, you can find the Asian vegetables, instances noodles, Asian frozen food, and snacks, even there are some fresh fillets to sell. Of course, if I need to do my grocery shopping for my dinner, I will go to Sunnybank, there are more choices. If I need to buy one or two things only, I will go to this store, because that is closer than my home. Also, I was in there around 7pm, this store was still opening for business. I think this store will close around 8pm. That is quite convenient, so that is a good things for who live in Calamvale.

Address:

Corner Beaudesert & Nottingham Roads
Calamvale,

Today is 15th of the first month in Lunar Calendar.  That is Festival of Lanterns. In Chinese tradition, we will go to a Night market. This year, Westfield Garden City will follow this Chinese tradition. There will be an Asian night market in Town Square from 4 pm to 9 pm today.  However, the stalls are from 8 Street in Garden City, will they provide some unique dishes for tonight only? Anyway, having in an open space will be a bit of little. Moreover, at 5pm, there will be Lion Dance performance. Thus, if you will be in Garden City this afternoon, you can come to Town Square for this event.

Yesterday, I was in Time Square. I saw the Korean Grocery Store is running a promotion for Chinese New Year, 20% off store wide. I read the information in the store; this promotion will apply to all branches until 29/01. That is great! Tomorrow, I will go to Hanaro Mart at Calamvale Central. I want to buy some snacks!

A few days, when I did my grocery shopping at Coles, I saw the gift box for Lunar New Year(Chinese New Year) were sold in there. Is Lunar New Year coming? Thus, I did a google search. I found this Saturday,28/01, is Lunar New Year. Then my next question is any celebrations in Brisbane. Well, Google gave the answer too.
Of course, there will be a lot of celebrations in Sunnybank Plaza where is a hub of the Chinese community. From today to 29/01, every morning 10:30 am, there will be a Lion Dance (with Kung Fu demonstrations during the weekends) in front of Hoyts cinema. Also, 29/01 3 pm, there will be a dragon dance in the food court.
This year, Westfield Garden City joined the celebration of Chinese New year. There will be some celebration activities during 27/01(5 pm – 6:30 pm) and 28/01(4:30 pm – 8 pm) Of course, the activities included Lion Dance which is a “must-have” performance for Chinese new year. Moreover, at 7:30pm, 28/01(the Chinese new year day), there will have fireworks too. Please do not miss that!
