Well, yesterday was an interesting day. =)
I went to church and then found out there was no Youth Group so I went to help these people withe the presents that we're gonna give to the pilgrims who are staying in the VERY VERY CLEAN hall with NO DUST!! =OOO

Anyway, guess what you presents were? You don't know? Don't know? This plastic Opera House. =__= It was so obvious that they were ordered from some Chinese souveneir shop in the city. =__= And we had to put these piece of paper in this circle. Well, we had all these big boxes to do and so, being the Asians that we are, formed this sweat shop chain. I think this was how cheap Chinese child labour was thought up.

Eventually we got the big boxes all done and I think the pilgrims will be VERY HAPPY with their plastic Opera House stand with a piece of paper on it saying "4COS" (Combined Chinese Catholic Community of Sydney. So long. I never even knew we were called that ==")

Then we went to help the old Chinese ladies sort the food. And there was so much food!! HUGE HUGE boxes of TUNA (haha Tom xD ), baked beans, chocolate!!, cookies, forks, knifes, napkins.... =OO Which made me realise just how big WYD is gonna be. And this is just the stuff for one school out of the hundreds of schools that are hosting. The Chinese ladies kept on shouting at us because we were in the way. =="

"GET OUT OF THE WAY."
"TUNA HERE."

"DAI BENG!!" (Big cookies)

Eventually we got that finished too and then went to Mass. And I saw Adeline!!!!!!!!!!!! =OOOOOOOOOOOO I knew that Adeline-lookalike I saw last week was her. I think she's getting better now, but she's still very polite. =)

There was this very long meeting afterwards for the adults, which as boring.

Well, let me end with some numbers:
