Whao!!! I realised I haven't been blogging for a long time! I have no idea where I should begin with.Last Saturday I attended the summer festival rganised by Japanese School at Changi campus. It was an eye-opener for me.
Honestly, I wasn't looking forward to it. I even had plans to give it a miss but I was glad I went in the end.
It was a long ride from Jurong to Expo where shuttle bus is provided. But it was all worth it though. The campus was packed with throngs people and clearly it was a much anticipated annual event. Without hesitation, we headed for FOOD!!! I was clearly famished at that time as I had skipped my lunch and breakfast.
The curry rice was so NICE! It wasn't spicy at all and it tasted way much better than the ones at Sake(this pretty much compensated for the gruelling hour worth of travelling time). After food, it was more food before we headed for the games section.
Veron had her go on something called Yo-Yo. Clearly she is an expect on this as she managed to get 4 yo-yos and she gave me one, a green one!!! And guess what, it is presently hanging beside my window!! Haha...
We wandered abit looking for more stalls to utilise our coupons before we settled somewhere around the stage. We watched with undivided attention as we were entertained by the mesmerizing performances put up by students of Ngee Ang Poly and the fellow Japanese teachers and students.
Then it was when Veron got all excited and got us closer to the main stage. Apparently, we had to dance. Yup, DANCE! Not sure what I have gotten myself into but I was pretty sure that Veron had a great time as she danced, mimicking the movements of the dancers on stage.
I wasn't sure I wanted to be part of the action so I hesitated. But after a while, i thought why not just give it a try!? I might not be able to attend something like this again. So I planted my belongings with one of the folks and before all, I was dancing(well, trying to) like the many others round the stage. Apparently, this was like some traditional Japanese dance or something. Everyone was enjoying themselves and clearly, i was as well. = P
See the first photo with the lady in blue Yukata? She is one of the dancers who led us through the dance. She looks so young and pretty for the age!! Hee...
I had such a great time that I evem suggested to Veron that next year should we be able to attend such event again, we should dress in Yukata too!! Sounds interesting!!!
That ended with a chat session @ TM's MacDonald's. Although I reached home a little past mid-night, it was a day to be remembered.
Oh! That night I also replied to my Japanese pen-pal. I was looking through the previous entries and I realised we have been communicating since July last year. Whao, it have been almost a year!!! I hope we can continue to do so as long as possible. = P
