Tonight was the Fia Fia Night at St Dominic's College. Grace was in her school's Korean group, so a few of us decided to go watch her performance.
Because I finished work at 5.30 and Aonghas finished class half an hour later, we'd have to rush back to Henderson to make it in time for the 7pm start. What happened next was a complete coincidence though! After Aonghas told me he had brought the car into the city and so I could go home with him if I waited, I came across Jenny sitting on a couch waiting for some friends. I sat with her for a while, and then Stephanie came along! She was waiting to go to her badminton club session. Next, Andrew came along, and then Cleo came along! Finally Aonghas came! It was like a mini-Oddfellows gathering!
Andrew and Cleo got a ride home with us, but we got stuck in traffic! After dropping them off, we went home to pick Hamish up and then went off to St Dominic's College.
The Fia Fia Night was being held in their gym, and when we got there it had already started with all the seats taken and people standing by the door. We managed to creep in and stand around by the sides of the stand. We didn't have such a great view though!
We got to watch the school's Japanese dance group perform. The Korean group was finally about to perform, but they had some unexpected technical difficulties. I think it had something to do with the music. An announcement was made
'Grace, we need you'
After a while, the Samoan group ended up performing before the Korean group. Everyone was getting up and putting money in the performers' dresses! I bet some of them got rich after that performance!
Finally it was time for the Korean group to perform! There were shouts of
"Shot Grace!"
I bet she became famous after that night!
Their performance was pretty cool and they looked good in their costumes. Someone called out mid-performance
"Worth the wait Korea, worth the wait!"
in reference to the technical difficulties causing the delays in their performance.
They were last to perform, so after their performance we met up with Tim, Gabrielle and Karvin, our youth group leaders, to say 'hi' and congratulate Grace on a great performance.
Before heading home, us Anderson brothers couldn't resist having a little late night feed!
