Fragments of March

Wednesday, March 31, 2010 @ 2:20 AM

Finally reaching the final post of March :)

April posts soon!!! Woohoo!
Ehto... I have completely forgotten about my photoshoot post! D:
Hehe, there's always next time to blog about it :X
Mini posts time! :D

::2nd Mar 10::
ahsie asked me out for lunch with her friend, Hweehsia. And I had to travel all the way to Tampines. Imagine traveling all the way to Tampines for lunch and then I have to go back to Great World City for work?! Sounds crazy; but I did that :\ The reason was I have not seen ashie for a long long long timeeee T.T~ So once in a blue moon, this is okay :)

The place I had lunch at.
& it's halal!~

My curry katsu bento set +
the egg mayo inari sushi I picked from the sushi conveyor belt :3
I gave my orange slices away :\ & the green tea was uber bitter D:
$9.30 payment

::3rd Mar 10::
I went out for lunch again with my friends. But this time it's with Sally, Yokie and Anson. A "farewell" lunch meet up for Yokie who is going into the army. Last time to see him with his hair xD So glad to make friends with someone else who like anime as well. Nice meeting you, Anson :)

Yes, it's another restaurant :(
With all these eating of good food certainly does some damage to my wallet Dx

Photobucket

Cheese Chicken Fillet :3

Photobucket

Yokie, Anson, Sally & me! :)

The next day, I collected my clothes I ordered online from XueNi. It's the day that I too exchanged my Singapore dollars to Thailand bahts!

Heh, all checkered :D

::6th Mar 10::
I went to my youngest brother's Speech Day event at Henderson Secondary School. It has been super long since I last went back to my secondary school. Anyway, the purpose was to see Damien receiving his award. Apparently, he did really well for his studies :D

My brother; top in combined humanities, combined science,
first in class and first in standard :D

I didn't know the Speech Day was so boring D: I have never attended one before because I'm usually part of the choir performance during the event. I didn't know that the uniform groups march parade was so horrible. No one even know what's going on outside. No speakers. The camera view of it was terrible.

Meh, the school principal was no longer Mrs. Yeo anymore :( This new principal (I don't even know what's his name D:), I didn't like him very much. He talks too much and he has the tendency to increase his volume suddenly when he's speaking :\ So funny to see students dozing off and then jerking up when he suddenly spoke loudly. His annual report speech was about two hours long. It was effing boring and no one was even paying any attention to him at all...

The new principal and Guest-of-Honour; Mr Lim Cher Yam.
So funny to see the principal with his shirt tucked out like that :X He's doing it on purpose though!

After all these boring speeches, it was the prize giving ceremony! :D

*gets ready camera*

His super awesome trophy!

My parents and I decided to leave the place after the ceremony; and we called Damien out too so we could take pictures with him :X & there was no reason for staying on any longer xD

Moreover, I have to get home because Joshua and Edmund will be coming to my house later. Joshua, to help me in formating my desktop and Edmund, to use my laptop for his school assignments.

P/S: Anyone missed the school canteen? :3

::15th Mar 10::
Went all the way to Jurong there for a job interview at Resort World HQ. Sadly, I have once again failed another interview. After the interview, I had to walk through a community centre to get to my bus stop. &&& the community centre has a small aviary! It was so awesome; I really like those yipyips :D Spent some time trying to take pictures of them :X And then I took a bus to meet Rommel at Lucky Plaza; accompanying him to get his SD memory card :)

All the different coloured yipyips! :D
Me likey :3

::19th Mar 10::

Went to Johor Bahru; Malaysia with my mama and aunt :) Every friday is like a shopping day for us :D But now, I started working on fridays... So there's no more of such shopping trips for me anymore :(

On the bus going over the Causeway~

Photobucket

My mama and me! :D
I accidentally sent out two text messages when
my handphone is still in "MY MAXIS" mode :\
A freaking 61cents per message! Dx

Photobucket

Lunch + delicious cake from Secret Recipe :3

Photobucket

BUTTERSCOTCH BREAD!
Only you can find this flavour there in Malaysia :(
(Although Singapore recently have the butterscotch flavour by Bonjour bread brand,
but it doesn't taste as good and it's a lot more expensive)

Photobucket

Wore my purple contact lens during one of the shopping trips :)

::27th Mar 10::

Met with Johnatton at Bugis to collect his card games and we went to GV Marina to catch a movie; Professor Layton And The Eternal Diva. The movie was okay-ish. How to train your dragon is still the #1 movie of the month for me :)

Next, I met up with XueNi and we began our job hunt at the JobsDB Fair @ Suntec Conventional Hall!! Firstly, we registered ourselves at the counter and obtained a personal barcode. Next, we proceeded up to the 6th floor to submit our resume by scanning it into the system. When that was done, we were given a green sticker each to show that we have submitted our resume. & finally, we can properly start our job hunt :)

The proper procedure was to approach every booth to find out about their jobs; and then if we are interested in it, we have to scan our barcode to submit our resume to the individual company there. However, XueNi and I discovered a much simpler and lazier way of applying for jobs. All we have to do is walked up to the row of computers placed at the sides and start searching for whatever jobs you are interested and applied to them immediately; with no hassle! :D Hopefully, those companies would reply to us soon... or not :\

Later, we went to Kenny Rogers for our lunch/dinner.
(they should really invent a word for that since there's already a word called "brunch" which is breakfast/lunch...)

After taking such a effing long time trying to decide on what to eat, we finally chose the one-quarter chicken with two side dishes @.@

Appetizer: Corn Muffins
Drinks: Snapple (Kiwi Strawberry & Mango Madness)
Sides: Cheese Macaroni and Potato Salad

I really didn't expect that it would be that filling! I couldn't even eat finish anything. I was really, really, extremely bloated to the extend that I felt like puking :\ And yes, I didn't finish my food :( Such a waste...

Afterward, we went for a stroll about the shopping mall of Suntec and not surprising, we got lured in by the gachapon machines :X XueNi saw this cute Naruto gachapon series and she wanted the Itachi one. Well, I don't mind the Sasuke one though but I don't have that strong urge in getting it like I tried for the Dragonball one for Vegeta. Damn you, Majin Buu!! :@

Naruto paku paku series.
There's Naruto, Kakashi, Sasuke, Itachi and Yondaime.

She tried and she got Naruto instead :( XueNi was hesitating whether to give her luck a second chance but a little girl came and gachapon. She wanted Naruto but she received a green capsule. Pretty interesting that now all the gachapon balls are like colour code for each item in the gachapon machine. The little girl left without checking what she had gotten. We were curious so we peeped into the machine and realized that green capsule balls contain all the Itachis D: It was a horror to us. If only, she didn't hesitate :(

XueNi didn't really want to give up so she tried again and again and again. She gotten Naruto again, Sasuke, Sasuke again, Yondaime, Kakashi and Yondaime again. It was such a horrifying sight that I couldn't bear to watch. Mind you that each capsule cost $3. And she already got 4/5 of the charas. Only left with Itachi. With her last $3, she gachapon-ed for the final time. This time she got.... ITACHI!!! We were very happy :) Moreover, she has the full set now! xD

I bought her extra Sasuke and Naruto at $2 each :X

Just wanna post some of my gachapons I turn out last time but didn't have chance to post it :(

My favourite kinbaku mushroom with different angle shots :) Smexy~

Photobucket

Shugo Chara pendant stuffs. I wanted the one with wings :(

::EXTRAS::

Cosca was founded :)
Some temporary logo thingy I created for the team.

Photobucket

My updated nail polish collection xD

With all the happy stuffs done, time to reveal about the sad stuff :(
Dodo the lutino cockatiel has passed away... Ever since that hole incident (Click here to read about it), Dodo has been very weak and couldn't fly at all due to its crop. Anyway, it has finally moved on after suffering for so long :( Here are some last pictures of it.

Dodo R.I.P

And that's the end of March mini posts...

♪ I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

「星蘭祭」 #19

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 @ 1:53 AM

::20th Sept 09::

Hurray! Seiransai (星蘭祭) with the Epsilon! An annual school carnival by Waseda-Shibuya Senior High School, open to public. Another event at another Japanese school! Not wanting to miss out anything or have to queue super long for something like the Natsu Masuri, we decided to go there early. The time set was at 9am at the bus stop opposite Queensway Shopping Centre.

Surprisingly, I'm the earliest there!! I reached there 10mins earlier than the appointed time.
Q.Q~ And we only managed to board bus51 after 45mins, due to waiting for people to reach and also for the bus to come. We were supposed to board the same bus as Edmund, because he was able to take bus51 from his place. When Puikwan received the sms from Edmund about the bus plate number of the bus he took, we were really sure that the next bus arriving would definitely be his. BECAUSE WE WAITED EFFING LONG FOR THE BUS! D:

When the bus51 arrived, we boarded, tapped our ez-link and the next thing we realized... IT WAS THE WRONG BUS! Puikwan immediately called Edmund and told him that we would just meet him at the school itself.

Well, we missed our bus stop so we had to alight at the next bus stop and walk back. I think that's what happened to most of the people going there on their first time. Because... I saw others walking back from the next bus stop as well!! xD Due to the fact that only the back of the school could be seen at the bus stop we were supposed to alight. So only when the bus has passed by, then we can see the school signs :\ Most importantly... Edmund also missed the bus stop and had to walk back as well!! xD

Yay! Finally everyone is here! We can enter the school :) No more waits! No more delays!

SEIRANSAI!! :D

No entry fee at all! And the best of all... NO QUEUESS!! xD Had our temperatures taken at the entrances (H1N1 precautions...) and "I'm OK" stickers were given :D Event booklets and face masks were given as well.

The event booklet.

The first stop we went to was 2-C's Curry House at the Student Hall (1F). We bought chicken curry (mild) rice + salad at $2, except for Puikwan. Glad we went there first, because most of the curry rice were sold out. There were some band performances playing on the stage as well. I'm really happy to hear some songs that I know, like Taisetsuna Mono (My favourite game song!!).

Finally I get to eat Japanese curry rice!!~

Photobucket

After eating, we walked into the main building where all the activities were held. The first thing we came upon was this giant cloth origami crane and there was this HUGE paper collage banner as well. It reminded me of one of the artworks we need to do during secondary school. It was torturous.

HUGE paper collage.

Photobucket

We went up to the 2nd floor. Oh my god! We didn't know where to begin. Everywhere was so busy and really lively. So many classrooms to visit, so many activities to participate. The first thing I went to was the haunted classroom, because I heard from XueNi that last year, it was really good. But then, I noticed people holding onto tickets. AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM. Well, all of us didn't know.

Anyway, we just carried on walking straight. I asked a student at another classroom about the ticket stuff. Apparently, their classroom activity doesn't need a ticket, just have to queue up. Erm... So we went back to the haunted classroom and I repeated my question. Oh! Those tickets had to be collected at the start of the queue. So yea, we got them! As well as the tickets for another classroom who was doing a play.

"Handsome Suits" play at 12.15noon.
"Haunted School" at 2.55pm.

We walked around the 2nd floor, trying to decide what to play first. 1-C's Oh! No Light 村 was chosen as our first classroom to visit. The queue timing was okay (Anyway, the queue didn't even came close to the ones at Natsu Masuri). They gave us number tags so we could keep our bags with them and also blindfolds. XueNi and I didn't keep our spectacles with them and hang onto them ourselves.

Blindfold.

Apparently, we have to go in one by one, so that we won't knock into each other while wearing the blindfold. During this game, we have to be blindfolded and listen to the instructions given by the students to overcome the obstacles along the way. First, I was given a stick and I had to navigate my way through. Next part, a student told me, "No stick" and he took away my stick D: He also told me that this is a jungle and there are spiderwebs. After making through the rubber band "spiderwebs", I was made to sit down and remove my shoes. At first I thought the student told me to REMOVE MY SHIRT! Dx Oh their diction was horrible :X I have to walk on an undulating surface and also crawl through a "cave".

Next, it was a female student. She was speaking to me in Japanese and yes, I could understand basic Japanese so I played along, pretending. Afterward, she explained to me the next part of the game instructions in JAPANESE. I couldn't understand already so I admitted that I don't really know Japanese!! She was shocked and embarrassed xD Sorry~
Anyway, fast forward......... XueNi and I lost our spectacles during the game play. But the students were nice to pick them up and placed them at the entrance so that we could get them back later.

The 2nd attraction we queued up for was the Pokémon classroom. Because the waiting time was long, the students gave us a ticket saying that if we came back at 2pm and presented the ticket to them, we don't have to queue up at all and immediately go in. So why not? xD

Walked to the Bazaar at the Art Room (2F). Looked at some books, clothes, CDS. And that was when I realized I have dropped my tickets for the haunted classroom and the "Handsome Suits" play!! I went back to find them, but I only managed to find back the haunted classroom one :( I couldn't find back the "Handsome Suits" one. So I went back to the classroom and told them I have lost the ticket. The student was nice (oh no... I couldn't think of any other words to use!) and told me to just go in 5mins before the appointed time. Phew~

...We went up the 3rd floor to walk around and also we wanted to try their school uniform at the Uniform Fitting classroom. But unfortunately, all the slots were taken up! Wow. Next time, we must remember to come earlier then. We were too late for the Planetarium as well :( And for the Science Room's Slime experiment, they were restocking then. Eeyer... 3rd floor all so unlucky one :\

We made our way down to the 1st floor as XueNi wanted to buy some bread from the Orchid café at the conference room. Took a picture at the little stage there. Edmund went to the toilet, while ShunAn, Puikwan and me went into their school library to take a look~ And we all met back at the Orchid café.

Wow. All Japanese books :X Like duh.

A student with a loudhailer went to the mini stage to announce that the 12.15noon of Handsome Suit will be starting in 5mins and we had to proceed there. We went back up to the lecture room 211 for 3-B's "Handsome Suits" play. We met Jordan queuing there as well :D And yay, we managed to get seats too! The play was in Japanese. Someone even asked out loud whether if there are subtitles. The play was really funny! I'm glad that all the effort spent on watching anime has really paid off :) I could understand them! Well, not all of the words but overall I do understand what they were speaking. So sad that Edmund, ShunAn and Puikwan had no idea what they were talking about. Although I did translate some parts to Puikwan because she was sitting beside me.

Doraemon spotted in the seminar room 212 beside the lecture room.

The set up for the play.

The cast.

Since there was still time before 2pm for the Pokémon attraction, we went to queue for 2-B's "Ma! Lion!?" attraction. We had to watch a pretty weird video about the Merlion got zapped by lightning and we got swallowed up by the Merlion. So we have to play games in order to get out of there. 1st game - firing balls through the holes to get points. 2nd - find the answer on a plastic ball to how heavy the Merlion is (ans: 70tonnes). 3rd - your ever so basic mole-whacking game play.

My score was 15, 100 & 60 respectively.

Photobucket

The prizes I won xD
I really love the corn potage thing!! Where can I buy it???

Yay! It's 2pm already. We went back to the 1-B's Pokémon Muscle Contest and cut queue in front of a group of kids :( They kept making a lot of noise, really fun listening to them complain and complain :X But they stopped complaining when it was soon their turn and they started talking to the students there at the entrance about what else other then... Pokémon. I really like Pokémon too!~~ ♥♥♥♥

Pikachu!~

Macho Pokémon... you fancy?

Photobucket

They decorated the classroom with so many Pokémon cards!

Photobucket

Lots of Pokémon stuffs on the counter as well!!

Photobucket

I want the Pikachu hoodie she is wearing!! *_*

Photobucket

There were 5 games in this attraction as stated... 1st game - to find the Pokéballs in the midst of other random balls. 2nd - another basic mole-whacking game play, this time you whack digletts. 3rd - a bowling game, using a basketball to knock down Pokémon water bottle pins. 4th - had to find a Pokémon cutout in a dark room in 30s (ours was a slowpoke, Puikwan actually found it but she threw it back xD). 5th - guess the Pokémon in the box by touching (I managed to guess both of the Pokémons in the box, including their name! The student was impressed xD)

My prize! Lol! :X

Since there was some time before the haunted classroom activity, we went back to the Orchid café to see what's left of the bread. And only the mixed wassants were left, the rest was sold out. Well heck, I didn't know what was that but it couldn't be that bad. Bread could never go wrong. And yea, it tasted great! Anyway, we found out that the shop is located at central© B1 :)

Yum :)

What?! We still have to take care of our rubbish in the dustbin?! xD

Ahem, it was reaching 2.55pm. So we went back to 2-F's "Haunted School". And they pushed me to queue first!! Puikwan was just as worse :X They pushed her to the back. So line up was something like me first, XueNi, Edmund, ShunAn and Puikwan last. While waiting, we saw girls running out of the room with really frightened looks and some even cried :\ Was it really like scary? Hopefully not xD

Anyway when its our turn, we went through the door. We have to crawl through a tunnel :\ I was pretty scared because in such a narrow place, there's no space to dodge when something actually popped out. Luckily, there was nothing. The classroom was really decorated well. The students were all dressed up as ghosts and such. I even saw Tomodachi standing in the corner of the walkway. It was really fun and exciting. XueNi kept holding onto me and later, I found out that she kept her eyes closed throughout! D:

A Japanese manga that we were supposed to read before entering the classroom.
See pictures enough already :X

Photobucket

At the back of the manga.

Photobucket

Listening to the students shouting enthusiastically to vote for their class.

We went up to the 3rd floor again to check on the science room activity. Sadly, they have ran out of stock. We were too late once again. So since it was still early, we went to queue for the 1-A's Natsu Masuri activity, where we can play the Natsu Masuri games for free! While queuing, we saw XueShan O_O We totally didn't expect her to be there... xD Anyway, there were a total of 4 games. 1st game - shooting game, using a gun made of chopsticks to shoot down boxes. 2nd - another basic mole-whacking game play, this time you really whack water bottle moles. 3rd - ring throwing game. 4th - Yoyo Tsuri game, fishing yoyo balloons using a hook.

The "W"-shaped hook, I mentioned in my "!!Natsu Masuri!!" post.

Beware~ The moles could appear on top as well xD

Photobucket

My points... I got 0 for the Yoyo Tsuri!!
The paper attached to the hook broke when I tried to lift the balloon out from the water :(
So I went in to try again :X

Photobucket

And I got 4!! :D
I gave one to XueNi because she didn't manage to get one.

And yay! We were finally done playing at 4pm! Filled up the voting form and put it into the voting box. Japanese students were gathering and shouting their numbers for us to vote because it was the time to submit the voting forms for counting xD

I voted for the Oh! No Lights! and Pokémon Muscle Contest xD

Photobucket

"Vote for 3 お願いします!!", the bloody students + Tomodachi shouted.

We left the place without waiting for the results. My head couldn't stand the noise anymore. Especially when the noise was amplified due to the enclosed area... Took bus51 to central© to have our dinner there and also to buy ShunAn's earcuff. I also bought a cross earcuff from FancyPocket at $4!

Lol! Vandalized.

The time set was at 9am at the bus stop opposite Queensway Shopping Centre. Surprisingly, I'm the earliest there!! I reached there 10mins earlier than the appointed time. Q.Q~ And we only managed to board bus51 after 45mins, due to waiting for people to reach and also for the bus to come. We were supposed to board the same bus as Edmund, because he was able to take bus51 from his place. When Puikwan received the sms from Edmund about the bus plate number of the bus he took, we were really sure that the next bus arriving would definitely be his. BECAUSE WE WAITED EFFING LONG FOR THE BUS! D: When the bus51 arrived, we boarded, tapped our ez-link and the next thing we realized... IT WAS THE WRONG BUS! Puikwan immediately called Edmund and told him that we would just meet him at the school itself. Well, we missed our bus stop so we had to alight at the next bus stop and walk back. I think that's what happened to most of the people going there on their first time. Because... I saw others walking back from the next bus stop as well!! xD Due to the fact that only the back of the school could be seen at the bus stop we were supposed to alight. So only when the bus has passed by, then we can see the school signs :\ Most importantly... Edmund also missed the bus stop and had to walk back as well!! xD Yay! Finally everyone is here! We can enter the school :) No more waits! No more delays! SEIRANSAI!! :D No entry fee at all! And the best of all... NO QUEUESS!! xD Had our temperatures taken at the entrances (H1N1 precautions...) and "I'm OK" stickers were given :D Event booklets and face masks were given as well. The event booklet. The first stop we went to was 2-C's Curry House at the Student Hall (1F). We bought chicken curry (mild) rice + salad at $2, except for Puikwan. Glad we went there first, because most of the curry rice were sold out. There were some band performances playing on the stage as well. I'm really happy to hear some songs that I know, like Taisetsuna Mono (My favourite game song!!). Finally I get to eat Japanese curry rice!!~ After eating, we walked into the main building where all the activities were held. The first thing we came upon was this giant cloth origami crane and there was this HUGE paper collage banner as well. It reminded me of one of the artworks we need to do during secondary school. It was torturous. HUGE paper collage. We went up to the 2nd floor. Oh my god! We didn't know where to begin. Everywhere was so busy and really lively. So many classrooms to visit, so many activities to participate. The first thing I went to was the haunted classroom, because I heard from XueNi that last year, it was really good. But then, I noticed people holding onto tickets. AND I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO GET THEM. Well, all of us didn't know. Anyway, we just carried on walking straight. I asked a student at another classroom about the ticket stuff. Apparently, their classroom activity doesn't need a ticket, just have to queue up. Erm... So we went back to the haunted classroom and I repeated my question. Oh! Those tickets had to be collected at the start of the queue. So yea, we got them! As well as the tickets for another classroom who was doing a play. "Handsome Suits" play at 12.15noon. "Haunted School" at 2.55pm. We walked around the 2nd floor, trying to decide what to play first. 1-C's Oh! No Light 村 was chosen as our first classroom to visit. The queue timing was okay (Anyway, the queue didn't even came close to the ones at Natsu Masuri). They gave us number tags so we could keep our bags with them and also blindfolds. XueNi and I didn't keep our spectacles with them and hang onto them ourselves. Blindfold. Apparently, we have to go in one by one, so that we won't knock into each other while wearing the blindfold. During this game, we have to be blindfolded and listen to the instructions given by the students to overcome the obstacles along the way. First, I was given a stick and I had to navigate my way through. Next part, a student told me, "No stick" and he took away my stick D: He also told me that this is a jungle and there are spiderwebs. After making through the rubber band "spiderwebs", I was made to sit down and remove my shoes. At first I thought the student told me to REMOVE MY SHIRT! Dx Oh their diction was horrible :X I have to walk on an undulating surface and also crawl through a "cave". Next, it was a female student. She was speaking to me in Japanese and yes, I could understand basic Japanese so I played along, pretending. Afterward, she explained to me the next part of the game instructions in JAPANESE. I couldn't understand already so I admitted that I don't really know Japanese!! She was shocked and embarrassed xD Sorry~ Anyway, fast forward......... XueNi and I lost our spectacles during the game play. But the students were nice to pick them up and placed them at the entrance so that we could get them back later. The 2nd attraction we queued up for was the Pokémon classroom. Because the waiting time was long, the students gave us a ticket saying that if we came back at 2pm and presented the ticket to them, we don't have to queue up at all and immediately go in. So why not? xD Walked to the Bazaar at the Art Room (2F). Looked at some books, clothes, CDS. And that was when I realized I have dropped my tickets for the haunted classroom and the "Handsome Suits" play!! I went back to find them, but I only managed to find back the haunted classroom one :( I couldn't find back the "Handsome Suits" one. So I went back to the classroom and told them I have lost the ticket. The student was nice (oh no... I couldn't think of any other words to use!) and told me to just go in 5mins before the appointed time. Phew~ ...We went up the 3rd floor to walk around and also we wanted to try their school uniform at the Uniform Fitting classroom. But unfortunately, all the slots were taken up! Wow. Next time, we must remember to come earlier then. We were too late for the Planetarium as well :( And for the Science Room's Slime experiment, they were restocking then. Eeyer... 3rd floor all so unlucky one :\ We made our way down to the 1st floor as XueNi wanted to buy some bread from the Orchid café at the conference room. Took a picture at the little stage there. Edmund went to the toilet, while ShunAn, Puikwan and me went into their school library to take a look~ And we all met back at the Orchid café. Wow. All Japanese books :X Like duh. A student with a loudhailer went to the mini stage to announce that the 12.15noon of Handsome Suit will be starting in 5mins and we had to proceed there. We went back up to the lecture room 211 for 3-B's "Handsome Suits" play. We met Jordan queuing there as well :D And yay, we managed to get seats too! The play was in Japanese. Someone even asked out loud whether if there are subtitles. The play was really funny! I'm glad that all the effort spent on watching anime has really paid off :) I could understand them! Well, not all of the words but overall I do understand what they were speaking. So sad that Edmund, ShunAn and Puikwan had no idea what they were talking about. Although I did translate some parts to Puikwan because she was sitting beside me. Doraemon spotted in the seminar room 212 beside the lecture room. The set up for the play. The cast. Since there was still time before 2pm for the Pokémon attraction, we went to queue for 2-B's "Ma! Lion!?" attraction. We had to watch a pretty weird video about the Merlion got zapped by lightning and we got swallowed up by the Merlion. So we have to play games in order to get out of there. 1st game - firing balls through the holes to get points. 2nd - find the answer on a plastic ball to how heavy the Merlion is (ans: 70tonnes). 3rd - your ever so basic mole-whacking game play. My score was 15, 100 & 60 respectively. The prizes I won xD I really love the corn potage thing!! Where can I buy it??? Yay! It's 2pm already. We went back to the 1-B's Pokémon Muscle Contest and cut queue in front of a group of kids :( They kept making a lot of noise, really fun listening to them complain and complain :X But they stopped complaining when it was soon their turn and they started talking to the students there at the entrance about what else other then... Pokémon. I really like Pokémon too!~~ ♥♥♥♥ Pikachu!~ Macho Pokémon... you fancy? They decorated the classroom with so many Pokémon cards! Lots of Pokémon stuffs on the counter as well!! I want the Pikachu hoodie she is wearing!! _ There were 5 games in this attraction as stated... 1st game - to find the Pokéballs in the midst of other random balls. 2nd - another basic mole-whacking game play, this time you whack digletts. 3rd - a bowling game, using a basketball to knock down Pokémon water bottle pins. 4th - had to find a Pokémon cutout in a dark room in 30s (ours was a slowpoke, Puikwan actually found it but she threw it back xD). 5th - guess the Pokémon in the box by touching (I managed to guess both of the Pokémons in the box, including their name! The student was impressed xD) My prize! Lol! :X Since there was some time before the haunted classroom activity, we went back to the Orchid café to see what's left of the bread. And only the mixed wassants were left, the rest was sold out. Well heck, I didn't know what was that but it couldn't be that bad. Bread could never go wrong. And yea, it tasted great! Anyway, we found out that the shop is located at central© B1 :) Yum :) What?! We still have to take care of our rubbish in the dustbin?! xD Ahem, it was reaching 2.55pm. So we went back to 2-F's "Haunted School". And they pushed me to queue first!! Puikwan was just as worse :X They pushed her to the back. So line up was something like me first, XueNi, Edmund, ShunAn and Puikwan last. While waiting, we saw girls running out of the room with really frightened looks and some even cried :\ Was it really like scary? Hopefully not xD Anyway when its our turn, we went through the door. We have to crawl through a tunnel :\ I was pretty scared because in such a narrow place, there's no space to dodge when something actually popped out. Luckily, there was nothing. The classroom was really decorated well. The students were all dressed up as ghosts and such. I even saw Tomodachi standing in the corner of the walkway. It was really fun and exciting. XueNi kept holding onto me and later, I found out that she kept her eyes closed throughout! D: A Japanese manga that we were supposed to read before entering the classroom. See pictures enough already :X At the back of the manga. Listening to the students shouting enthusiastically to vote for their class. We went up to the 3rd floor again to check on the science room activity. Sadly, they have ran out of stock. We were too late once again. So since it was still early, we went to queue for the 1-A's Natsu Masuri activity, where we can play the Natsu Masuri games for free! While queuing, we saw XueShan O_O We totally didn't expect her to be there... xD Anyway, there were a total of 4 games. 1st game - shooting game, using a gun made of chopsticks to shoot down boxes. 2nd - another basic mole-whacking game play, this time you really whack water bottle moles. 3rd - ring throwing game. 4th - Yoyo Tsuri game, fishing yoyo balloons using a hook. The "W"-shaped hook, I mentioned in my "!!Natsu Masuri!!" post. Beware~ The moles could appear on top as well xD My points... I got 0 for the Yoyo Tsuri!! The paper attached to the hook broke when I tried to lift the balloon out from the water :( So I went in to try again :X And I got 4!! :D I gave one to XueNi because she didn't manage to get one. And yay! We were finally done playing at 4pm! Filled up the voting form and put it into the voting box. Japanese students were gathering and shouting their numbers for us to vote because it was the time to submit the voting forms for counting xD I voted for the Oh! No Lights! and Pokémon Muscle Contest xD "Vote for 3 お願いします!!", the bloody students + Tomodachi shouted. We left the place without waiting for the results. My head couldn't stand the noise anymore. Especially when the noise was amplified due to the enclosed area... Took bus51 to central© to have our dinner there and also to buy ShunAn's earcuff. I also bought a cross earcuff from FancyPocket at $4! Lol! Vandalized. Teriyaki chicken with beehoon at Yoshinoya. Pepper Lunch not there anymore :( Pretty~~ :D diglett dig diglett dig TRIO TRIO TRIO diglett dig diglett dig TRIO TRIO TRIO diglett dig diglett dig TRIO TRIO TRIO diglett dig diglett dig TRIO TRIO TRIO Labels: epsilon, event, food, fun, game, pokemon, school --xoxo, Akira Star Top of page Previous - Homepage - Forward	Yours Truly nette also known as Chibi/Akira Star 6th October ♥Feriae♥ Goodbye Koko... 16th August 2011 Yipyip Ocean Goodbye Sky... 15th July 2010 Speak Exits 16 Degree^C ahsie.
