Bon Odori Festival 2008

my first time working as a volunteer in such a grand international event and i simply enjoyed working even though our jobs were rather repetitive and boring....we arrived at the Panasonic sports complex stadium as early as 2pm but we were only attended about an hour later but it doesn't really matter cause the whole place was pretty cool, with stalls setting up, Japanese music blaring at one corner and thank goodness it wasn't really a hot humid day in fact it was too windy....at bout 4, we had our free lunch- a whole sushi set...man, it was delicious not only because it was free but simply because we actually have 5 to 6 different sushi in one meal..isn't that's cool? eventually, we started working by counting and rearranging the uchiwas (Japanese well-known fans)...at 5, we are assigned to be the door girls and boys distributing the fans to the incoming visitors........it was pretty fun when we can actually observed different kind of people coming to the stadium ranging from Japanese families to school kids to Japanese reporters to some pretty 'ah beng's and 'ah lian's group to my old malacca friends who scream my name 'siok' from far and last but not least, our very own intec clans.... even though we missed the opening performance by the HOT SIZZLING Japanese guys, we are still able to maximise our fun and join the last dance in the stadium..btw, i have been really naughty that night and i wanna say sorry to her..i promise i won't be that naughty anymore.... shen has commited a crime.

THE HOT SIZZLING JAPANESE DRUMMERS OF THE DAY

we found a japanese version of harry potter..kawai des!!!

jillian is so in love with the small harry potter.

the hottest guy of the day where everybody was pushing their way through to grab a picture with him

but somehow i pressumed i was the luckiest girl on that night since i took three pictures with him personally..but i shall only upload one of them while the rest shall remained private in my life...

i'm so in love with him

(damn, i look horrendous in the pic but who cares as long as i stood beside him and took a picture with him..)

NOTE : he was the one who did the peace sign first and i followed him later...hahaa (i'm being such a bimbo here)

now u guys know why i had a sweet dream last night :p
