Pun of the day:
Bon — Adored It!
Bon Odoriiiiiiii!
:D
It was such a hectic day. I went to college, took my graduation photo, put on a freaking robe, attended my convocation, received my scroll, changed to my Kimono, and Bon Odori-ed!
So i was wearing long robes the entire day. HOT HOT HOT! But it’s all worth it.
It’s just gonna be pictures. Enjoy.
The demure ones
And the kawaii ones. Now you regretted not going heh. *winks*
everyone wanted to take photos of…
The kawaii ko
Kawaiiness overdose.
The opening.
Everybody dancing together. ii kanji da ne ^_^
It soon became dark… But the festivities were as lively as ever!
My pink Kimono! ^_^
Yuuki and I
Yukata girls
More cute girls…
And more…
Makes me wanna hunt for every one of them and take photos with them all…
She has the very classic japanese look ^_^ Reminds me of Chiyo from Memoirs of a Geisha.
Comel. Kawaii. Ke Ai. Ho Ngoi. Great, i’m out of adjectives.
He is so so cute, my cheese, like Crayon Sin Chan. But what’s on his left foot? Some fashion statement? 0_o
These girls dressed in err… pajamas (?) with dangling toys all over 0_o
Obachan? =P
A Japanese family and the future F4.
Time for a rest! Whew, onaka ga suichatta!
So i stole a bite of Ching’s kare raisu.
And time for some camwhoring with her!
My main reason for being there was to take photos…
but then, suddenly…
“Hello… Are you… Cheesie?”
Hello, and yes, i am?
0_o
Thank you for saying hello to me, everyone who spotted me. Thank you for accommodating my right face too! Remember to send the pictures to me ya! 
Now, time for my convo update!
****************UPDATE****************
Just received these from a photographer who attended Obon the other day.

Nicole: It just sort of feels like being a funny-looking animal in the safari O_O, lol.
Tristan: I had no time to do my hair… Was rushing straight away from my convo. And i missed the chance to take photos of the food because by the time i reached, it was so full of people. Next year i’ll go earlier.
Ainsley: Thank you Ainsley.

July 18th, 2006 at 9:22 pm

actually alot of my japanese school mates do visit msia and singapore often. the rest of my buddies usually have a huge gathering when they come visit.. haha…
so did you get your yukata from japan?
July 19th, 2006 at 8:16 pm
Hahaha.. you look cool in your kimono.. I think.. graduates should wear kimono.. ba.. Kimono makes a girl look more girly.. hehe.. and cute..
July 19th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
my assumption was correct…they do have holes around the armjoints…xD
July 19th, 2006 at 10:01 pm
You look nice in the kimono (isn’t it hot and stuffy?? esp with the hazy weather we have not :S) , and it seems like a happy event for you! Congratulations!
July 19th, 2006 at 10:13 pm
It was hot lor, Samuel. Therefore stoney84, we need holes around the armjoints.
July 19th, 2006 at 11:14 pm
Hey.. I know those new photos you just updated with..ehehe..you changed them slightly though?
July 19th, 2006 at 11:55 pm
nice update.. i like the first pic where u change it monochrome. the manipulation of the fan’s color is a nice touch. kinda retro… i love it.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:41 am
sigh,again all praises.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:27 pm
hello cheesie..where did you rent the kimono?Is it expensive? It looks very nice on you
July 22nd, 2006 at 1:27 am
“These girls dressed in err… pajamas (?) with dangling toys all over 0_o”

Anyway, late comment >.
July 22nd, 2006 at 1:17 pm
