Ukulele Sunday! (Day 44)

I've been anxious for the last couple days. Woke up today to some "temporary" good news! More on that on a another post...soonish.

Then, I got ready to head down to Kaka'ako Waterfront Park to check out the third annual Ukulele Picnic. Ukulele virtuosos and legends from Hawaii and Japan performed on the hilltop stage overlooking Diamond Head, Honolulu Harbor, the ocean and mountains. There was also exhibitors showing ukulele related exhibits, a wide variety of merchandise and food vendors selling really delicious food and refreshments. To read more about this picnic, check its website Ukulele Picnic in Hawaii

It was a beatiful day to be outdoors but just a little too hot for me. More photos from the picnic to share on my flickr account later tonight!

 

 

Night in Chinatown Parade (Day 29)

Spent all day today in Chinatown again for the Lunar New Year. It was a perfect day to be outdoors and ran into a few friendly twitter and non-twitter friends!

After being in the sun for most of the day, I found a somewhat pefect spot in a nice shady area for the parade that is before my bu.t.t decided to fall asleep. So I followed the last few parade participants and that's how I ended up with today's daily photo.

P.S: IMO, I felt this year's festivities wasn't as grand as last year...but I'm hoping next year will be BIGGER since it's MY year! ^__^

Saturday

After a storm...today was a pleasant day! The warm rays did my skin some good after being couped up in a freezer box of an office all week! First stop was at the post office to drop off a package with presents for my family back home in Malaysia. Crossing my fingers they'll get it before Christmas since I kinda missed the international mailout deadline. Then, I went to Waikiki to kill some time before heading over to Aloha Tower for the Christmas boat parade.

Just in time for the sunset and some early birds reserving their spot for the boat parade.
