Finally finished with the animation project. When doing the project.. well... it was always rushing cause sometimes dunno how long does it take to make an animation and all i know that it takes lots of time. so tend to rush Jeannie and myself as well.. will upload some other time..
for the bon odori, it was quite fun. I went there with my cousin. Supposed to meet up with Jen or Jin Zhen there.. but then.. i got sidetracked. I didn't check my phone cause i couldn't feel the vibration that the my phone is being called or sms-ed. yea, so i spent my time with my cousin and we had fun.
THE FOOD!!..hehe.. yea, most of the time i was there was hunting for the food to see what have i not tasted before or something like that. and its no easy task! you have to break down barricades( people) to reach the water of youth( the food stand). i went behind as well.. thought that i could get a shortcut to get the food quicker.. hehe..(don't do that.. you may piss people off..) behind the scene i saw a LOT of unagi smeared and soak with some sauce.. and i saw melon bread (always wanted to try it) .. tend to see it in anime or manga( OMG, im such an anime otaku(T.T))
There is alot of food that i have not tried cause there was too many people.. dun know how many people had i elbowed.. LOL.. didn't get to try the ice-cream(T.T)... someone was nice enough to fan me( actually he was fanning himself but he's waving is with such big action that i felt cooled..) while we were waiting for the food.. hehehe...
Then there is this culture dance. everyone participate including my cousin.. i didn't cause i want to record them~! hehehehe.. saw some people wearing yukatas. its quite nice but i was thinking whether do they feel hot cause its forever summer here... haha.
By the time we want to make a move, I saw some Gothic people went inside the Bon Odori. their piercing and all was awesome but i wonder are they gonna get kicked out cause of their attire... oh, and its all guys that are going gothic.. WHERE ARE THE GIRLS??


The unagi soak with sauce... to me, it looks like some limbs been hack and soak with sauce >;D

The Melon Bread...
My cousin plotting to hit the kid with some stick. The devil dude selling weapons to people. he's even selling devil horns.. maybe hell is low on souls crisis.. hee hee.

Girls in Yukatas... Guess why I take picture of them >;D
oh, and pay attention the dude at the left. where is he looking at eh? gotcha~!

some important dude giving an opening speech.. the kids behind him are going to do the dancing performance later.

now, i took this picture because of the way she dress... if you look at her socks.. you'll only see that in Japan or in Manga... the typical high school girl style... lols.

P.S my cousin friend bought an Asahi Beer and we drink it.. IT TASTE SO BITTER!!! Teenagers that are younger than me are drinking it with ease as if its like fizzy drink to them..O.O

Going to Bon Odori~!

Tomorrow its off to Bon Odori. Didn't went last year.. and the year before that... even though was invited by my old school mates, I couldn't go cause its very far and parents thinks its dangerous and all ( HOW??)
yea, this time, im going there with my cousins( YES!!) and jen but she' going there on her own so probably will see her there. I invited Jeannie but i had it coming that she would say no... lol..
Though warned by the midgit with the prediction of her leprechaun saying its boring and all, im still gonna go cause its my first time experience. so yea~!
Oh, lucky Jen gave me the site to read about the bon odori before i got.. cause there is 1 rule that states.... No gothic... (O.O) *GASP!*
means no "ALL BLACK" so.. can't wear any of my bracelets... and i have to wear casual and other colours * hiss!!*... like a typical human being that people will never notice as if he/she wasn't there in this world and part of the air... yes, Im being dramatic now....
but it won't hurt if i just wear a black shirt~! HAHAHA!
