Siao meh...tat time I will be one of the ghost in the haunted hospital liao lor! But I will snap from the outside n see whether u all can spot any real ghosts hanging around anot la yeah!

Oh n plus Im planning to go to the aquarium soon....so before going to the Hanabi--fireworks event...it seems like a good time to purchase a camera..so tadaa!

It was in Edogawa..train ride ard 45min from Shinjuku..

So both of us duno the way...we followed this well-prepared couple with mats n ice box n im pretty sure lotsa yummy food! Me n boyfie went wit just an umbrella to share..wth!

So u see the amount of ppl har....I wanted to go back..haiz!

And so cheat lor they put mats early early to book places! Not fair memang! Ok la fair la..mayb bcoz they haf to wake up early to come to this place to book the place or watever i dun really care...

We found a place behind the toilets with SHADE---the most important part! LOL! Him without cap which was really rare but he chose the wrong time not the wear a cap...bcoz it was so hot! LOL!

Look my camera can do this! A bit proud--hohoho!

I damn envy this family in front of us...so well prepared..even brought tables ok....n lotsa food I kenot look at them eat or I will feel hungry...jeolous sial!

So I made him go search for Kyuri (pickled cucumber) It is vr good munch lor! I have 3 in my fridge now..hohoho!

And of coz Takoyaki with lotsa mayo!

Please excuse my flat hair...bcoz it was so hot i tied em all up n pinned my fringe...I kenot und how the girls can put on their oh-so-pretty yukata n lotsa makeup n hair spray n sit there looking so girlish with umbrella lor...so memang proven Im a Malaysian..comfort comes first!

So we sat there from 3pm to 7.15pm.....with nothing to do n limited food...haiz!

So we took lotsa wuliao pics...but I only posted some...dunwanna bombard u ppl with too many pics..

And tortured a grasshopper..LOL!

The sun finally set I was happy bcoz it was starting..

Exactly at 7.15pm...Japanese r alwiz punctual--SALUTE!

The one I went to..lasted for 1 n half hours....but I only stayed for 1 hour...I dunwanna be in a super pack train back..smart leh?

The fireworks were awesome and I think it must be vr expensive!

On the way back lotsa ppl did not haf a place at the field so they had to stand n watch on the road..

I bought so much food to munch on the way back...gembira betui!

Yakisoba..

Soft cream..

Jap ice kacang without kacang!

Grilled squid--my fav!

I already ate half of it then I suddenly remembered I need to snap pics to show...LOL! Vr juicy!

Lastly...some videos...I choose the most spectacular mia...the triangle thing is suppose to be Fuji-san and the fireworks is showing the eruption of the mighty volcano la...smth like tat I think..

And this one is if heart-shaped fireworks...vr pretty...

I did not manage to video the cat-shaped ones...haiz!

ok la thats all...my 1st and my last hanabi...even tho the fireworks was really pretty but I dun like waiting under the hot sun *bluerrrghh*

ひな祭り

Goodbye February Hello March!
It was ひな祭り-hina matsuri in Japan 3 of march every year..so my school taught us origami dolls..not bad yeah my 1st attempt..LOL!

Me and my class with d huge doll set..the doll set can be a few thousand..and only to put out once a year..so expensive hor...it is suppose to ward away sickness and evilness..smth like tat la..i was toking when teacher was explainin..typical me la u know..so agak agak like tat la..

My class teacher..Kono Sensei..she was explaining and when she saw me aiming the camera at her..she posed..LOL..cute!

The doll set..i dare not touch bcoz juz in case i break anything it will cost me a few hundred for a doll..so no touching..

The King and Queen...grand don't you think? The rest i assume they are either musicians..bcoz some holding instruments..others weapons..to protect me royals i think..

The my teacher mentioned smth about hantaran kahwin...that time i suddenly paid attention...i was like y got hantaran kahwin mia..shit i think i educate myself wrongly..so pls go google if wanna know more..dun trust my wrong info..

ooo..n momo branches wit flowers..i think momo means peach quar..i assume har...plus its real..it looked fake but real ok..and during hinamatsuri u eat a special kinda snack..ermm..i did not snap a pic of tat..but colourful biji biji thingys..mild sweetness..ok la..plus drink white wine..we were not allowed to drink in school so no testing..

So yeah..my 1st hinamatsuri in Japan...my teacher told me decorating was fun but to put them back into boxes really vr sien..so theres this myth where if u do not tidy up right away after d festival..d daughters in ur family will not be able to get marry..LOL! how cute!

ok la..thats all!

Smth人おめでとう

It is a festival where they celebrate those who turn 20..supposingly at 20 you're already an adult n mature n all laaa...im 24 this year n i dun feel any more mature than those younger than me..or is it just my problem? LOL! most probably!
