Last night, we had thunderstorm, heavy wind and rain. I felt my house is shaking. Some friends told their house got some damages by stroung winds too and some power outages is around10pm.
This morning, the weather got better. There is still some shower and sunny. I wish the bad weather will be better.
A few days ago ,i saw Calamvale Central has some Christmas Decorations. Yes,Christmas is coming!!! That is about two months time. It is the time to remember Jesus born. Well,there is a long holidays too. Most of companies will close their offices about two to three weeks around Christmas and new years period . And most of people will choose to spend their time for a getaway break . Therefore, if you choose to travel during that period ,you have to book your holidays as soon as possible. And you need to prepare all air tickets and accommodation will cost much much more than normal !!!
For me,i will go to church. Maybe, i will travel with my friends to gold coast or sunshine coast for a day trip. Well i will avoid any travels which need to fly or stay over night during that period !
Yesterday we had a lot of tasty food. For lunch we went to Margon at Redcliffe for oysters and fish and chips. That costed a fair bit ….. A luxury lunch !
For afternoon tea, we went a coffee club near a beach which was great and relaxing. I had a cup of cappuccino and was enjoy fresh air. That is cool.
At dinner time, we went back to sunnybank . We had our dinner in a taiwanese restaurant ,Glamorous work. That is tasty!!! Moreover , the dishes are quite creative and an ordinary traditional taiwanese food. They keep to update their menu. A staff told us there will be a brand new menu around second half of next month
I think i need to work harder in gym. I wish to burn the fat i earned yesterday.
We were quite dry in Brisbane, nother much rain last month. Yesterday , i went to church camp in mount tamborine and the whole night was raining. That is the most wet day during this month.
That is a great. The rain stopped.This morning, that get cooler and the air is fresher. I feel we get back to the early winter.
Brisbane Festival is just about City of Lights. There are other great events, such as Brisbane Airport International Lantern Garden in Southbank Culture Forecourt. They have around hundreds of Chinese Laterns! That looks like a thousand of stars in sky. Very cool!
By the way, Brisbane Festival is going to end soon. Tonight will have last three shows of City of Lights. Moreover, tomorrow 7pm, at Brisbane River, there will be firework with F18. That will be very very cool! According to my memory, this year will be the first year featuring F18. Please not miss out!

There is a big event in our Chinese community. That is Taiwan Festival which held on Today and Tomorrow in Upper Mt Gravatt Showgrounds. I went to there this afternoon, that is great. A lot of people went there too.
When I entered the showgrounds, the scale of this event is quite big. I saw a lot of rides in there too! I think the kids would love them!
Moreover, there are a few counter to provide traditional Taiwanese Food, such as Cold Noodles and Tofu pudding.
I spent $2 to buy three fried cuttlefish balls, that was tasty!
Besides of food, this festival is about Taiwan. Traditional Taiwanese Performance is “must have” such as Taiwanese Puppet shows. I saw a part of that too!
This event is great. But if you plan to go there, please aware that is hard to find a park spot in the showgrounds.

Last Friday, I went to watch City of Lights, because I want to enjoy the show this times. Last times, I concentrated on taking photo. I did not put my focus on the show. But this times, I put into the fancy world created by those laser beams, music and spotlights.
Besides enjoying the show, I found the culture forecourt was like a party, a lot of people was drinking in courier mail spiegeltent and santos lounge.
I backed to Brisbane about two weeks. I am thinking of wonton noodle soup in Hong Kong. Well, I can find this kind of food in Brisbane . They are tasty too. But they are a bit different from Hong Kong. So I want to go back Hong Kong .
