I'll be away!~

Hello every1... I'll be away for 4 months, that's mean I'm not in KL! I'm in Cameron Highlands, but why 4 months??? Cause I'm having an attachment/internship up here in Cameron. So I won't be updating my blog constantly, but I'll try my best to update it whenever I have time for it.

To all my blog readers - Thanks for the support all the while! I din't expect that I will be blogging for 3 months. Yes!!! I've establish this blog of mine for 3 months already. I went tru alot by blogging and get to know lots of people. It's really fun to blog and I will continue The Journey of my LIFE (except I get bored of blogging) and hope that for the past 3 months you have been enjoying reading my blog.

Thank you,

Bon-Odori 2009

Bonjour~ I was at Bon-Odori last Saturday. Do you guys know what is Bon-Odori??? Let me explain to you briefly, Bon Odori is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the deceased spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. Also called the Feast of Lanterns, it has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, know as Bon-Odori. For more info - here

Bon-Odori was held at Shah Alam and I drive there all the way there, reached around 7pm and It's freaking hard to get a place to park. I park like 2 km away from the entrance.. argh.. I got tired of walking already before I can even walk around in Bon-Odori...

I went with 4 chicks... Cathy, Sylvia, Joanne aka Susu and Olivia

I see BALLOONS!!! I tell you!! Its no ordinary size balloon, ITS HUGE!! I mean HUGE is HUGEEEE!! XD

I walked around and shop for FOOD!!! There's many stall selling food, from Sushi to Rice Ball, Japanese fried noodles to Udon and from sausages to ice-cream and snack! Okay, I cant list down everything here... teehee~ too many to be listed!

There's even Cream Puff!!! World Famous Cream Puff From JAPAN... I wonder issit true??

that you don't find it in supermarket and It only cost RM6 for each!

KIMCHI!!!! Yummy Yummy!!! Tuna, Chicken, Beef, Vegetarian, Spicy Chicken?? Which 1 do you want??? RM5 for each please.

Sushi!!! There's more than 1 counter selling sushi of cos, but I found this counter very attractive leh... hehehe.. There's Chuka Iidako!! My FAVOURITE~

Look at their pricing! I know from the looks of It is pricey, but the portion size is big. So It's reasonable. =)

I spotted Sushi King!!! OMG!! They transport their lil' Sushi train belt to Bon-Odori???

Now you got what i mean! HAHAHA!! Another new experience for those people who eat Sushi King like this compare to a fully air-conditioning Sushi King shop

There's more, There's more!!!! Yummy Japanese Snack!!!
It's RM5 per pack! But I didn't buy it. AWWW!!

Ice-cream!!! Strawberry, Chocolate and Green Tea!!!
I found out that they uses this Machine is the same as the 1 that Kindori Ice-cream uses.

Deep fried Mashed Potato. It suppose to be crispy on the outside, but It wasn't as
what I expected. It became soggy... Haihhh~~

TWISTER SAUSAGE!!! Yummy!!! This is special!
