What a great day it was~~ I had tons of fun~~ I'm so glad in the end it didn't really rain, though it was drizzling for a bit and threatened to pour later in the night, but in the end it didn't rain during the bon odori, which is the important part!
At The Airport
We all assembled at the airport to dress (and also to teach Haruko math~) and everyone is so cute in yukata!
Shihui so cute! (She so doesn't look her age!)
Tomoyo and Bern both in pink!
Mel in very interesting red.
Zeph and BA, they look so married~ Zeph is wearing the birthday present we got her, the yukata!
Mass exodus out of the airport towards the japanese school...
On the MRT
Me, BA, Zeph and Leo took the MRT down to expo to take the shuttle bus down to the school, whilst the rest bundled into Tomoyo's car.
On the MRT. Leo looks amused.
Camwhoring! (Camwhoring with a DSLR is a little tougher than usual though) That's a BUNNY clip on BA!
At the matsuri
We all got in without too much queuing, I think the admin this year was really efficient!
Valerie, Haruko and me. Omi's taking the pictures.
It was a WARM evening.
Tomoyo and Aslah.
Val (so sweet!).
Haruko and me. Isn't she THE CUTEST EVER????????!!!!!!!
Mini group photo! We never did get a complete group photo though.
BA and Haruko~~
I call this shot the family portrait. I think a family with the cool genes of Zeph, the pretty genes of BA, will definitely end up with TEH CUTENESS of Haruko. *nods*
Tomoyo very cute!!!!!
Me trying to act cute.
I LOVE my hairclips! I had 7 different colours on my hair!
Candy floss is much love!!!!!!
BA!
Gao, Thomas and Eugene.
And we interrupt the programming for a shot of CUTE JAPANESE KIDS! (I had a lot more shots but they were all blur!! >_<)
Yoyo sukui! Haruko got one really fast!
Leo and Valerie joined Haruko for one round.
Leo didn't manage to get one at all but the uncle gave him one anyways. He's happy about the pretty of the white and blue colouring.
Haruko got THREE on her second round. That makes FOUR balloons in total! Wow!
Valerie was also really good, and got three at one go too! She's only holding two in the photo because she gave me the pink one~~ <3
We went to buy drinks~
Valerie and her ramune~
Carlise, Mel and Yen came down too~
Carlise and her COOL pose~ I DON'T have ANY shots of Mel and Yen because Mel kept RUNNING AWAY! ;_;
BA and Zeph showing off the goldfish from the kingyo sukui. Zeph had four goldfishes! Wow!
Friends from school and JCC, Neo and Bingxiong. Bingxiong was one of the acoustic guitarist players that played when I sang Life at EOY last year. Thanks for the graphic calculator, Neo!
Omigod bright yellow Pichu mask on Loz!!
Maggie, Yuanyuan and Tomoyo~
Aslah!
Chris!
Chris, my friend Mingjie and Serene~
Me and Christina from school!! She cosplays too~~
And finally, Nic! She kept shying away from the camera until I wibbled and asked her for one and this is what I got!
Yup, all in all it was great fun! Although because it was pretty dark by 6 and I didn't bring a external flash a lot of the photos ended up being blur... But oh well, I'll definitely look forward to next year's Natsu Matsuri!
