St.Patrick at Changkat

St.Patrick's day honors St.Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It's celebration on March 17. Americans march in parades, dance the Irish jig and gather to sing Irish songs. People wear green in memory of Ireland, the Emerald Isle and wear shamrocks, clover with three leaves.

The above is just a short understandable what is St.Patrick is all about. Btw, found it at google ^^

Anyway, it's true it was held on March 17. And this year, it falls on thursday (To tell the truth, I never heard anything on this celebration before until I came across to over-heard it, and the place in changkat was distributing words, buntings, ads all over the place)

After work, Me, Ken, Genki, Kelly, Shuli and Gavin head to changkat to see what's all about. So far I heard was the whole road of the changkat was closed. No cars and motorcycle was allowed to go in.

When reached the place. Well, Two words I could describe.

DAMN COOL!

My god. First time I saw changkat was totally closed off. And yes, it was damn exciting inside. Music, DJ was all over the walkway. Tables and Chairs was placing at the center of the road. Damn, if anyone of you couldn't manage or didnt know about this festival - you are so wasted!

It's great to know things of some other country does. The dances, the guai lou celebration. I wish I could join the crowd and dance together. But I can't. I carried my medium sized bag and wearing slipper for god sake.

And here's the event. Just few pictures I could snap (my cam not good ady >< )

And Guinness too..

Finally, when DJ started to Rock the St.Patrick day...here goes everyone with the song and shakes of latin moved

This were the guys and gals who did the moved and drag the customers around (even dragged me and asked me to joined too..but i was damn paiseh if I were there dancing with my bag and slipper together - blush) and dance with them together

see..even guai mui, they do their latin dance..damn nice to watch their moved and I can say, it's simple easy...Ugh!! I wish to go dance with them together.

Finally, not forgetting...twentyone, our client did join in for st.patrick day too.


ps: Guinness was offering RM10 for 1 draft. And there's pretty nice fireworks out there too and lasted for about 8minutes though (this was updated by my boss driver ^^ )

Finally, here's the video to share :) Happy St.Patrick Day everyone !!!
