Aida's First Steps

Sydney Mardi Gras 2007

p/s: Tok Ma, don't be shocked ok...its just to experience how it is celebrated...and btw Aida's young memory will not store the images of half-naked people and the men-kissing-men, women-kissing-women scenes...hehehe

For peep who knows what a Mardi Gras is...erm...Sydney's MG is pretty much a gay thing, like the one in Chicago...therefore throughout the whole parade, there was only ONE flashing boobies! Sorry guys, stick to New Orleans next time round...

For those who have no clue what a Mardi Gras is, dig up the Google ya'all!!

For starters, we were among this crowd aite...so can't really take nice close-ups pics and we decided not to risk Aida's safety by braving ourselves to the front among the drunk who were in festive mood. Neways, enjoy!

As fas as my eyes can crawl that nite, it was just us and this Swedish couple who came with a baby as our accessories! Half-time thru the parade, our lil' princess decided it was too boring for her...

some of the worth-a-shout entries :-
'troy-soldier' (there's opening at the horse' rear! ahem...)

boxing boys from the House of Priscilla

and KYLIE of course! nope...the Aussie pop princess was not there herself, just her devotees making a tribute...but the moment her songs blast out, the crowd went wilddddd! And so did Mommy! Lalala...lalalala can't get you outta my head... ;p

"The queen she is coming, hurra! hurra! To the land of the thistle, hurra! hurra!"

On Tuesday the 20th February 2007, Sydneysiders witnessed the grande dame Queen Elizabeth 2 whistle saluted her sistership Queen Mary 2 during an historic afternoon arrival into Sydney Harbour. Not since World War II have the two Queens called on Sydney together.

Still confused? Its the world's famous and currently largest ocean liner - Queen Mary 2 made her debut in Sydney during her Maiden World Cruise and was joined by her sistership the QE2. Daddy, Mommy and Aida joined tens of thousand other people to watch the spectacular fireworks welcoming the Queens at the Circular Quay and Wooloomooloo.

bigger than Titanic ok...

our 'Queen'...yes Ma'am!

ok...since we don't have a clearer pic of the event, here is one from the website...the top ship is QM2 and the bottom ship is QE2. As seen here the arrival of the Queens was escorted by a flotilla of small boats and pleasure crafts.
