39th Bon Odori 2015 Malaysia

The reason why I blog about Bon Odori before AMG is because I haven't fully gotten all stage pictures from AMG yet .____. So whoever took our pictures please do tag us (the band page, my page, or my profile!) Thanks!!

 

Anyway, I went to Bon Odori with a group of dear friends last Saturday, too bad it's a wet bon odori this year (I heard the rain was heavier last year), but still had loads of fun! It was by far the most enjoyable one I've went~. Huge thanks to CR for picking me up from my house and sending me all the way home after the event. Anyway to avoid the jam we left earlier and reached the stadium around 4pm.

 

Walked one round looking at the food stalls, and grabbed seats at the stadium. Grabbing seats at the stadium in an early hour seems like a good trick to survive in Bon odori, but please please please remember to grab the middle seats instead of the corner seats because you will be drenched if it's raining. And yes, I was the one talking the most corner seats, and my entire outfit was sooo wet I could even squeeze out water from it lol.

 

We were smart enough to take tonnes of pictures (selfies!) before the rain ruined my hair it rains though! I'll start with my #OOTD #Yukata for the day. Bought this piece from a Japanese traditional kimono shop in Hokkaido. I really wanted something contrasting from the ones i had previously. My previous yukata was a nice pale yellow with floral prints, and I do have a red arrow pattern hakama. So this time I picked a dark blue one! The Hydrangea (Ajisai) pattern really bought me. I knew I just had to have it after one glance hahaha. Other floral patterns were water lily and some sakura.

 

 

Yay full body OOTD shot ^^

 

After waiting a while, my lovely band mates reached the venue too! Yay to The CrestFall! I'm kinda happy that almost all of us wore yukata, except for Daniel because he was having high fever ><. Half of me being happy that he joined the gathering, but half of me feeling sorry for his health.

 

Groupfies before the event starts/before it rains~

 

CR being Potong.

 

 

Now no more potong.

 

My lovely selfies with Joee!! Really miss you! And looking forward to work with you for the following weeks in September!

 

And of course, after sometime Sacchin and Erin came as well!

 



We were stucked under the shades for quite sometime, chit chatting about random stuffs and I love it~ It's just fun to hang out with friends and talk about stuffs, forgetting about work/studies =___=, leaving reality hahhaa. CR, Joee and Carlson went for food first, and then me, Sacchin, Erin and Daniel the second batch. But it rained again while we were getting our food...Managed to grab some juice and curry rice though! Although I really wanted my Takoyaki sobs...

 



 

This photo was to attract a certain someone for someone :D. I'm great at explaining.

 

We joined the second round of dance! Here's the stage area, where everyone dances around it.

 



 

The dance was fun! Although I'm pretty bad at it lol, took me around 3-4 rounds at least to get whats happening. Adam was super pro at it though!!! He can remember the steps!!

 



 

The ME after the dance.

 

 

Carlson and I after the dance. I like his yukata!

Quoting Carlson - The Edo pose (him) hahaha.

 

Big happy family photo!! Yay to all who wore yukata! Less photos with Taro, Taro's gf and Daniel because they did not join the dance. Taro was being all lovey dovey with his girlfriend, and daniel was sick T___T.

 

I'll end this post with my selfies!! I really enjoyed the day and the time spent with you guys!! Thanks for hanging out together~ We should do this more often hahaha.

 



My Happy red water balloon to match my outfit~

 

 

See ya in my next post!

Merry Xmas 2014!

Spent my Christmas Eve night with the Escape Gang. We went to try the new Escape Ninja in Puchong, and feeling adventurous so we tried the hardest god level room, and failed obviously. Seriously the hardest we've been, impossible to get through!

 

Not going to write spoilers here so here's our group picture after the game ^^. 

Forgot to add, new Escape Gang member: Chee Ren! He's CrestFall's new lead guitarist by the way.

 

Christmas day was rather calm and peaceful. Just a family shopping day at One Utama. Mainly was to buy my dad a pair of new working shoes as his belated birthday present.

 

Xmas lunch at L.Table! The christmas set was average, I prefer their pesto scallop pasta I had during my lunches hehe.

 



Mother-daughters trio. Pardon my bareface lol, did not have the mood to dress up/makeup properly.

 

Mum and I ordered a piece of cheesecake and our own drinks. While my sister took some random pasta I can't remember.

Dad's Xmas Turkey Main Course.

 

Sis's Carbonara (I'm just guessing coz the picture does look like Carbonara).

 

The not-so-nice Xmas set cake that I don't bother remembering the name.

My Boxing Day dinner was AMAZING though!! Thanks a lot to Peggie and Benjamin for the company~ And of course huge thanks to Benjamin for driving me all the way back home ><

 

Went to Acme Bar and Coffee, Troika for their Xmas menu. I have to say I really love the settings and decorations a lot! The lights are really festive and I'm glad I get to celebrate Xmas there (one day late though).

 

Benjamin had to order this Mac and Cheese because....he is currently a vegetarian lol. It tasted alright though; just feeling a little sad for him because the new festive menu at ABC is really really good (especially my order!!).

 

Peggie's erm...pasta LOLOL I tried to recall the name but I really couldn't, so sorry.

My Star Dish of the Day: Smoked Duck Foie Gras.

I have to say that this was one of my favourite dish!!! Top 5 in the list of best foods I've tried~ I enjoyed every bite of it and will definitely come back for moreeeee.

It was dark inside so pictures are mostly blurred haiz. I wrote down the detail for my dish though:"Tender Duck Breast, French Foie Gras on bed of Saffron pumpkin puree, baby kale, beetroot relish and cranberry rosemary sauce. Just typing this made me wanna go back ABC right now lol.

 

Happy me with my mains.

 

Me + Lovely Peggie~~

 

Trio shot! Seriously miss you guys a lot. Although we have had many shitty stuffs happening in our ex-co, but the three of us were always together throughout that 4 months and I miss that a lot. Couldn't find other colleagues that click so well with me anymore haiz..Miss you guys like crazy.

 

My two favourite ex-colleagues ^^.

Probably coz I was really happy and excited that night, my appetite was seriously good and I just won't stop eating =____=. I was feeling really hungry even after finishing my mains, Peggie and Ben were so kind to encourage me to order more and they promised to share with me so I could try out more foods hehe.

 

This is how they always pampered me during the 4 months we were together, thank you sooo much for always putting up with me!

 

Yummy Patate Fritte!! for us to share ^^.

 

For desserts we ordered this Cempedak Cake,

 

 And also this Light-As-Air Pavlova. I'm fine with the desserts here, Just that their hot foods are sooo good (even the finger foods!) that it kinda overwrites the desserts haha. Peggie love the Cempedak cake though.

 

Really really wanna go back again for the good foods ^^. We made sure to take some photos after our meal because the xmas decorations there was super pretty. Too bad the lightings was kinda dim, so it's rather hard to take good pictures sobs.

 

My OOTD: Fur Collar Leather Jacket (frm UK) + Cat pattern Maxi Dress + Burberry Blue Label yellow sackbag.

Love the photos! Will call both of you out again real soon, probably after/during CNY. Meanwhile trying to think when to return to ABC, will trying asking if my parents are interested~

Halloween Celebration 2014!!

26th October 2014: Halloween Escape

Last year's Halloween celebration was a blast! Even better than my birthday actually to be honest. Celebrated twice with the best people around! First one was Halloween Escape at Shah Alam Wet World with the Escape Gang! Managed to buy the RM28 Early Bird tickets ^^. Was really glad to go on the 26th October (Sunday) as there's less people compared to Saturdays/near halloween and it's drizzling so we didn't really have to queue much.

Ticket comes with free Sakae Sushi coupon! I just realised I forgot to pass them the coupon =___=. But I did not use them myself, still stuck in the pile of papers in my study room ahem.

 



My OOTD! Super casual for easy movement~ Cap and top from Hard Rock Tokyo.

 



We had our dinner at this Beef Noodles restaurant in Puteri Puchong. Sadly it was my first time even though I'm from Puchong lolol. Adam really liked the beef noodles and chilli here, and he sweated so much that it was kinda amazing haha.

 



At the venue before going in!

 



There were only very few ghost around, and we kind of recognised all of them hahahhaa, new buddies for Adam! But I have to admit that they were much more professional compared to the ones in Sunway Lagoon. The games were quite tough, or perhaps the time given was really little. The main game was really difficult, especially going through the long path of haunted house, quite tiring (and I broke by bag while crawling =___=; was screaming but not coz of the ghost, i was shocked that my bag broke LOL, it's a legend now). We managed to clear 3 out of 4 of the mini games, and failed the final main one. It was rather pressuring to try to think of the clues while getting scared by sudden screams and ghost popping up haha. Nevertheless it was really fun! Would definitely wanna go again next time.

 

Of course the 'must-buy' blood bag! People who have known me may know that I'm a fan of vampires, so I was kinda enjoying the look of drinking from the blood bag!

 



We took the trouble to drink our same blood type, to ensure smooth tranfusion. Le selfie with bloog bag!

 



Adam wanted to drink in a more....fierce and rough way LOL.

 

Bloog Bag GROUPFIE!!! From Left: Erin, Melissa, Me and Adam.

 

And now with our new supernatural/ghost friends: **Photos are blurred because it's hard to capture at night**

The grim reaper - The one who rejected Adam few times LOL.

Adam's best friend the chinese giong xi. This Giong Xi is really nice, he knew that we wanted a photo with him but the place he stood was really dark. So when we move to another place queing for the game, he actually walked to us just so that we can take this shot ^^

 

The prison ghost - we met him while going out after he removed his makeup hahaha. I recognised him!

There isn't much photos because...we were busy playing. Have to make our money worth! I'll definitely want to go again if there's something like this this year. I love my escape gang~

31st October 2014: Nights of fright 2

Went with my lovely band members (some of them).

Prepared some treats for my colleagues and friends this year! And bought this cute pumpkin sweet case to fill my treats hehe. The screaming shocked face was the souvenir from my mum, from Chiang Mai. Told Taro that I'll look like that throughout the event because i'm scared of ghosts haha.

 

Had dinner at Johnny Rockets!

Passion Fruit Milk Shake. Should have try those normal flavors like Vanilla or choc.

My order, Cheese Corned Beef fries. Shared this with Taro, because the serving was seriously huge.

My OOTD: I was a Neko (cat) that day! Neko Mimi+ Neko Dress+ Neko tights and Neko bag hahaha.

May not be visible but I was wearing a special Neko eyelash bought when I was in Japan. Wonder when will they be available in Malaysia. They were soooo cute!

 



The Many selfies of Me and Joee!~ Really love her hair color, was purple that time!

Group Photo! 4 CrestFallens and one Joee's friend (sorry forgot your name ><)

From Left: Taro, Me, Carlson, Joee's friend and Joee

 

OMG THE QUEUE EVERYWHERE WAS SCARYYYYY. So long that we missed some of the nicer haunted houses. But I'm glad I went with them, we chatted all night while waiting and it's still fun hanging out with them ^^

 

Some photos while waiting for our rides/attractions:

Next time if we are going, we will pick some other days other than Halloween day itself hahaha, too much crowd and so hard to move around! Perhaps going to Halloween escape, since it's so much more fun hehe.

 

The night parade was quite interesting though, at around 11pm.

 

The ending of the Halloween Nights of Fright 2.

 

Lastly a groupfie of us going for our final haunted house: (I love this photo haha, Taro looks interesting getting nearer to the screen lol).
