The advertisement goes, "Put on your green duds and join Dublin, New York, London, Tokyo and the rest of the world in celebrating St. Patrick's Day." Tokyo? Yeap, even the Japs parade on the street of Tokyo to celebrate this festival. Weird, wonder do they really know who St. Patrick was and what good had he done for them. But, Wth, just another excuse to get drunk.
The Irish celebrates the St. Patrick's Day on 17th March. On 15th March 2008, Guinness Draught, together with Sunrise have organized a St. Patrick's Day Festival at Plaza Mont' Kiara. Guinness was to giveaway 1000 pt of the famous premium black beer to early comers. That's why the slogan goes, "Paint the world green with something black."
By midday, we saw some of our expat neighbours were already getting ready in fancy dresses and were on their way over there. My kids happened to dress in green as well, so I suggested to them to pop over later.
Just after 5pm, it started to rain cats and dogs, and later reduced to drizzle. The sky remained gloomy, so we decided to scrap the plan. We didn't manage to paint the town green with something black, but with something grey.. I meant the gloomy sky.
