Natsumatsuri Friday, August 28, 2009

Yes yes I havent been blogging much because now that its semester break i dont feel like doing anything much less getting up in the morning. If i dont pull myself together soon i think i'm going to turn into a potato.

Or a vegetable.

So anyway last Saturday I went for Natsumatsuri. Its a Japanese Summer Festival organised by the JAS (Japanese Association of Singapore). Held in a Japanese Primary School in Changi.

(Long boring info here)

So on Saturday i woke up early (if 10 am is considered early) and took the MRT to Woodlands. Met Luca and Alfred at the MRT there (I was late!!) and we waited around for Julia who was in Woodlands mall. I think its called Causeway Point or something.

Anyway, we took a bus to Julia's house. That was about 1.30 in the afternoon yeah. Here's Alfred. He looks like hes 40 or 50 but he's actually only 20. Hahahahaha.Julia helped me into my yukata which frankly was very very uncomfortable in the beginning (since it restricts you hunching or breathing for that matter) but after awhile it loosened (Or i just got used to not breathing). Mine was a non-pre-tied obi thus it took longer and more exclaims of "WHY ISNT IT STAYING UP".

Picture of my stuff. Yukata and Obi. The pretied one you see here is Luca's obi. Mines the cream coloured one under the fan.

After that was Luca's turn. This whole time poor Alfred was sitting outside growing older by the minute.

After that was Alfred's turn and male yukata's are definitely much easier to wear. Then Luca did hair and make up while i took pictures.

Then Julia wore her stuff while we waited outside.

We left the house at a shocking time of 5.30. I mean the event was to start at 5.30! So Julia called a taxi when i realised i did not bring my ticket!!! Luca was like, "WTF? You brought everything but your ticket?" and then i rememberedi left it in my room in Dover and panicked panicked. Then Julia called her friend who was already at the event and said, "Never mind, you take mine first. I think my friend has extras".

Gosh.

We arrived at about 5.50pm. Look at the crazy amount of people. Not a good idea to let your hair down or anything. You have to concentrate on not sweating.

Lined up for ages with Julia for a measly amount of Okonomiyaki and Alfred (thanks yeah) who lined up for Salmon Don for me and Curry something for Julia. Picture below by Eldred who captioned it in facebook, "The 2 cute girls quickly munching on their tiny portions of food..." We were waiting for Luca and Alfred who went to queue for Japanese Pancakes or something.

The field of Japanese Primary School. There was mats you could sit on and watch people

Picture of me taken by Julia. She's studying Costume Design for Performing Arts in London College of Fashion. If i'm not wrong. Random info. I was complaining to Billy about something or another. Hahahaha.

Wahahaha Spot my camera! Its as pink as my bag. Actually if you cant see here's a bigass picture of it.

Just sat around watching people in Yukatas. Japanese kids were also in yukatas and i kept exclaiming "OMG damn cute damn cute"
Self portrait. (In other words camwhore shot) Nearly blinded myself with the flash. From left Luca, Alfred, ShaoJie, Myself and Julia.Went back to room in MRT. Here's the stoning JCC people. (Everyone except Julia is in SP's Japanese Cultural Club actually).

Enjoyed myself i guess. It was the first time going to such event in such attire. Hahaha.

Toycon Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Went to ToyCon yesterday. Had displays of comics and toys and there was a cosplay competition too.

Mapler!!! Hahahaha. Zak helm and owl mask!

Not even gonna bother explaining. Cant expect me to describe the pictures.

This is me taken by Jia Qing.

Acting like a cosplayer. Fail. Haha

Lost. Saturday, August 15, 2009

Tell me.
Would you tell a person who is lost that any path she takes would be wrong? Even though you clearly know the way out?
Wont you just tell her where to go? Instead of asking her to stop trying?

Apparently not.

This is me giving up.

Running running with the world on my shoulders Saturday, August 8, 2009

I know.

I know i should be doing my homework (which is photoshopping and web publishing)

I know i should be doing alot of things.

But lately I've had this massive headache that refuses to go away each time i think about the things i have to do.

So this is what I do each time i dont want to do anything.



A picture of me

Plus a random picture off Google Images



Voila!


Initially wanted to do myself walking on water or maybe fill the pavements with water. I dont know why i feel so watery. Maybe i feel like i will drown if i dont hurry and save myself by swimming.
And by swimming i mean doing my homework.

Cant believe SR took like 5-8 pictures and the only one i used was this one which my face cant be seen. Makes my head look big too. Picture taken during my filming last month.

Anyway, I've been told by many that i blog in a way that i tell people where i went, what i did, who was there but not how i feel.
Maybe its because i dont see how i FEEL is important or fairly interesting. People may read it in a way that puts me in a very "i dont want to be vulnerable" light. Maybe. Maybe not.
So let me put in words how i feel recently since some people are apparently interested.

I feel tired. Very sleepy even after waking up. Constant headache which may be an aftermath of my 39.5 fever last week. At least, thats what i blame for my sudden migrane after bending down.

Yes thats about the only feelings i have. Hmmm. I feel like i have to be a stronger more disciplined person. Maybe you would like to know how i feel about that. But i dont know



See see! Talking about my feelings,hopes and dreams got you all bored huh? I should stick to posting "pictures-say-a-thousand-words" pictures so you wont have to strain your eyes reading about someone who barely even knows how she feels at all.

More pictures. This is what i am visualising for my Web Publishing homework. See, i do the visualising. I DID SOMETHING. The hellish part is the codes and actually putting it together.
