a year has passed, and it's Natsu Matsuri again. i went for the first time last year, and was having a damn horrible queueing up experience. this year, Shun An managed to help us get advance ticket, so that we do not need to queue like mad again =/
however, although all of us had advance ticket, we still went like 2 hours early to queue up, to fight for Yukata wearing. they had very limited Yukata to rent, so we have to come like super early in order to get it xD
we meet up at Tiong Bahru Plaza, had lunch and then straight took train down to Simei. waited for Yvonne and her friend, Zifang, and then took bus 5 to The Japanese School.
the queue has already started to form even though it was only 1.45pm plus, and the school will only be opened for entry at 4pm =/ so many kiasu people like us xD
inside MRT..
reached: The Japanese School
the queue outside the school.
our tickets!!
we were sick and tired of standing, and so we might as well sit down on the ground since the queue was not going to move at all until 4pm =S
and the weather was so damn horribly hot. and so, we have to act like auntie, take out umbrellas to block the sun!
we were so bored sitting down there that we played stupid game. the odd one out one will each slapped by the rest on the lap. i was the super unlucky one who got slapped damn lots of times. both my laps were so red =S
Shun An even spotted Ting Yu who were queueing just a few people behind us. and so, we quickly went over to have a picture taken with her xD
umbrella people xD
Ting Yu and friend spotted =D
the queueing continued, waiting for the entrance door to open, and we were tired and thirsty. Wen Jie couldn't take it, and volunteered to go all the way back to Simei and help us buy bubble tea back. thanks WJ!!!
i was not a great fans of bubble tea, but due to the fact that i needed COLD DRINK like desperately to quench my thirst, i decided to have Passionfruit Red Tea with Koko Jelly xD super Xue Ni style!!
finally, it's time to go in xD
yeah, we have advance admission tickets, so when the door was opened, we can enter straight, and does not need to queue up to buy ticket =D awesomeeee!!to the people behind, happy queueing!!!!
after entering, we straight went to queue for Yukata wearing, the waiting time was pretty long too.
the queue was pretty long as well, i believe the wearing of Yukata required more time and manpower! haha. and the fact that we were in queue number 55 onward. oh well, happy waiting =/
playing with our fans xD
waiting!!!~
tired of waiting....
and finally, after like 30 minutes or so, it's our turn. quickly went in, paid $3 for rental fee, and there's people to help us wear. and i swear that it's not easy to wear, so many layer, and they tightened until super tight. i need to breathe!!!~
the girls are done finally! waiting for the guys only xD, seriously, why does the guys take much more longer than us =/ anyway, there's like a restriction in every steps we took, we couldn't walked in big steps. now i know how come japanese walk until so gently!! haha
it's pretty coincidence that the Yukata they gave us were all in BLUE =.='''
all sorts of blue!!
Wen Jie & Shun An were done finally!!
group photo!!
enough of photos spammed, and time to explore the place. the booth selling japanese foods, japanese traditional games and fun fair were all crowded with people. so many people that almost suffocated me to death =X
we went to queue up to buy Japanese Curry Rice and Teriyaki Pork Don to share it together. it's $5 each, pretty expensive =X
the booths!!
using Shun An ultra long arm to camwhore =D
Teriyaki Pork Don & Chicken Curry Rice @ Akita Restaurant
Wasabi Ice Cream @ Meiji Ice Cream
Pork Slice Omelette @ Okonomiyaki House IROHA
oh, we each bought a slice of Pork Slice Omelette at $2 as well. it's indeed a very small slice =.O'''
and next, we went outside for a walk and Edmund arrived like finally. he came all the way down from school after some community service or what. lol.
backview?
with Edmund!!!
we were walking outside when suddenly we realised Kelvin was here already. quickly rushed back in to the food selling booth to look for him!!
i very long never see him, ever since i resigned from GV! or not, i remembered attending his 22nd birthday last year, but well, anyway, it's like more than a year, definitely. Edmund and me were rushing like mad because it's our daddy meeting session, our "calcium provider" LOL!!~
Yeah.. photos taken with Kelvin.
and it's like a GV reunion!!!
and time to proceed out to the big big open field. there's even more people outside.
Summer Festival Programme
the crowd.
and while Ginnette and Wen Jie went to play some Summer Festival Games, Yvonne and Zifang were nowhere to be seen, Edmund, Shun An and me were left down there in the middle of the field doing nothing.
and so, spammed alot alot of photos before i had to leave early.
multiple similar photos!
and then, i had to leave early at around 7pm. went back to the Yukata dressing room to get changed back to my normal attire, and went home myself xD
