Bon Odori '10 @ Matsushita Stadium, Shah Alam

Raided the Bon Odori festival this year with the sis and her friends.
Wiki tells me that it is actually a festival to celebrate our ancestors.
:D

We were there around 6 to find that the place was packed with loads of people from everywhere.
It was insane !!!
I could hardly see where I was going as I was too petite =.=
LOL.
Many came in Yukatas as it was the dresscode.

:)

Food wise, it was a real disappoinement.

Plus, it's overly priced!!!

It felt like they were robbing us.

Seriously.

Had to queue for every single stall for 30-45 minutes least.

While I was in line for the Takoyaki(s), I saw Jen Sion with his head bopping up and down in the sea of people.

xD

It's easy to spot those who are tall.

Then they played several Japanese folk tunes which everyone danced along to with their fans!
What surprises me is that everyone actually dances along !!
Hahaha.
It must've been a spectacular sight to those who are at the bleachers.

When I was in Japan, my aunt took us to this festival.
Dunno what festival was it cuz I can't recall but it was a festival.
xD
They had a parade and all.
Food stalls too.
It was yummylicious of courseeee.
1000x better than the ones in Bon Odori.
Durrrr.

We finally found my sister's other friend, Soon Kit (2nd from right) after many, many hours.
Yes, found.
Couldn't locate him as there was no phone signal.
LOL.

If we plan to go again next year, we'll have a picnic there instead.
Save money on food, time and not risk your feet being stepped on.

The RELA people halau-ed us from the stadium at 10-ish.
Sheeeesh.

Will this really be the end?

I'm sandwiched in between a problem that I'd really hope I can fix. But chances are slim. People are confronting me about it and I have no answers to their endless questions. No one is responsible for this. So please, stop pointing fingers cuz you people obviously don't know what's really going on. I won't want to take sides. All I can do is intently listen to each party's statements.

It's just one of those bumps that you face in life. You can fix it. Just give it time and a second chance at it too perhaps...?

Brunch @ Whisk, Empire

I've been wanting to visit Whisk ever since I saw those tweets about their Macaroons. How yummy they were. How one of them even bought 70 of them cuz they were THAT awesome.

So, me and the mummy went for a visit on a gloomy Saturday. The sis joined us a little while after.

It's located on the ground floor, tucked in a little corner. 

It may be little, but it's cosy and homey-y. 

A place where I'll enjoy chilling at with a good book in hand. 

It has that London-esque vibe.

 The people behind it. 

Real friendly and nice people =)

Cheese and Onion (?) Bagel and Hazlenut Latte. 

Super yumms.

 My sister and her rather um...amused look.

x)

The macs. 

What I came all the way there for.

Bought one of each flavour.

They were going at 18 bucks for 10, 2 bucks for 1.

Went down to Klang later.

Met up for tea with the mummy's High School mates.

One of her friend is home from Canada for Summer holidays.

Everyone speaks in Hokkien.

LOL.

Klang people mar xD

Oreo Cheesecake.

OMFG.

It was HEAVENLY !!!!

Really. It was :)

Till my next post.

Urbanscapes 2010: Part 1

I know I'm a 'lil behind on my blog entries. Honestly speaking, I've lost my blogging mojo. Sad, I know.

Anyhooo, went to Urbanscapes this year with the one and only sister of mine again. We went like late in the afternoon this year cuz I cannot tahan the weather seriously. Urghhh. The sun was still blazing hot when we got there. Parking was a real bitch as usual.


We hit the marketplace as soon as we arrived. Haha. How typical. At one point, the ground got so squishy and muddy. Eeeeee. Funny how God told me to wear sneakers that day. So my toes were clean unlike my sis's who wore sandals. Hahaha. wtf.

I ♥ my Converse sneakers :)
(hunting for a faded denim pair. leave me a message if you come across one. don't mind if it's a hand me down)

There was this Projek Angkat Rumah thing which we missed. Volunteers got together to actually carry, yes carry this 'lil house from Jalan Sentul to the KLPAC. They were really semangat-ed. I find it superbly coolios !

The house was then turned into this karaoke open stage for everyone. They were so outgoing larh those people.


There were these awesome possum bikes parked outside. Spot the pink/white one on the extremeeeee left. It reflected the owner of the bike, you know. He was in this tie-dyed purplish shirt, white 3 quarter pants and super chio Nike's. Too bad there isn't a picture of him.

They had this stringy URBANSCAPES thing instead of the ala-Hollywood one last year which Klue claimed that Urbanscapers stole some of the letters. Hahaha. So random larh them people. I find that this year's wasn't really that visible though.

(To be continued...)

Stay tuned for my next post :)
