Bon Odori


1Big Box oni for RM10~~
They say that when you're dating someone, you can see his or her true colors when he or she is with his or her friends because in front of friends, the carefully painted mask they carry of the perfect partner slips; even if it's just for a bit; and you see the true nature of that person.
Today was a test actually, i've already run through all the worst case scenarios, but none of them came to pass, instead, good results were yielded; and so the swing just got a little steadier.^^
****
Today i went to the Bon Odori festival with some new friends.
It started out awfully awkward...because the 4 of us had only 1 friend in common and he was bz messing with the GPS when i got into the car.
Thank God one of them started talking to me bout 10 minutes later...and once the ice was broken, it was fun all the way^^

The festival...hmm...there're a few words i can use to describe it.

Exciting: It WAS my first time there anyway...so it was really exciting~plus i found out that it was the 35th Bon Odori in M'sia, so even more excited. I do love a bit of history anyway~^^

Exhausting: We parked the car miles away from the stadium cuz they were too many cars and buses and we were a tad bit late. So we parked it near 富贵山庄 (Yes, the $$ cemetery) and walked about 15 minutes to the stadium and then bout 15mins back again in the dark after the event. If it wasn't for the company, i would have broken out with nerves 5 minutes into the hike. 0.0 On another note, we joined the dancing event during the 2nd round and also the 3rd round, they played 3 songs each round and each song was repeated twice. So we danced 12 times in total~(I feel slimmer already^^)

Funny: Although it will not make sense to most of you; there's smtg about parking so freaking far away n at such a weird location that makes me laugh. ;p

Disappointing: There was Japanese food, and Jap ppl selling the food as well, but there were only F&B available, no games, no Jap products. And the F&B selling venue was a wee bit small~

Admirable service: Along the way , there were a lot of personal directing us to parking spaces, helping cars to park by checking their blind spots and also people directing the pedestrains towards the shortest path to the stadium. And the main point is :::: All these ppl were FRIENDLY & HELPFUL. They're were not scowling or barking at us. Considering the hot weather and the huge crowd they had to deal with, this was a magnificent feat!! Hurrah for them!!!

All in all~it was an evening well-spent^^ Might go back next year~
Wondering whether i'll have a chance to go twith my family...it'll be really funny to dance with them. I can just imagine my mom swaying and doubling up with laughter as she steps on my toes and my dad mimicking the dancers with a serious but damn cute expression on his face~^^

Miss my family so much....

!!!!GOING HOME SOON!!!!
