awww~~can`t believe 7 months flew by so FAST! 0.o
autumm is already creeping into japan now. starting to get much much colder i even need to use 2 blankets to sleep at night.
but one thing a like about the season changing in japan is tat each season you get so many different types of flowers >_<. for example in spring of course there's sakura n also 'nano hana'(which means spring flowers). then in summer you can see hibiscus n sunflowers everywhere. now, there`s this really nice smelling flowers(dunno the name yet). it`s rili small n orange in colour, n everytime i cycle pass the bush of flowers i can always smell them. ^_^ n i heard that autumm is the best season for roses too!
wonder wat flowers we`ll get in winter though~~~
well..my school jus had a sports festival last week. it was so FUN n wayyyy different from CHWS sports day. here, students compete according to their class n also sports club. we had to design our own class t-shirt too ( my class had pink shirt!). then for the events we have the normal tug-of-war and relay. but then we had tug-of-LOG..hahaha, where students rush to the middle of the field n try to pull logs back to their starting position. it was a WAR ZONE at the field at tat time. sometimes we can see students flying upwards when the log become slanted(something like a see-saw). hahaha! too bad i tak sempat take out my camera n take a photo of it. T_T
next, we also have a rili different version of relay-there are challenges students have to go through went they run. 1st of all, bread-'biting'. hard to expalin rili, but there are lots of breads hung fron a thread n attached to a long pole(horizontal), then everyone have to bite of the bread fron the thread without uding their hands! looks like a bunch of hungry baby birds to me though. =P after tat, they hand over the baton n next student have to run while kicking a ball. then next person runs while covering their heads with paper bags(with holes for eyes of course!), and finally last student runs while holdins a tennis racket with a ball on it. lol~~
don ask, i DID NOT join this race. =P
and of course there's another competition, which is my favourite. explanaiton as shown below:
1st, 3 students carry another student up(like human pyramid, but evryone is standing n can run about).
2nd, the student at the top either wears a white or a red cap. (red team n white team are equally divided).
3rd, run like crazy when the whistle is blown n try to snatch the opposite team's cap! this is another WAR ZONE, bt this time a little bit nastier. everyone jus went crazy n keep chasing after each team. sometiems can see 3 red caps going after 1 white cap n cornering them until they get the white cap. phew~~n don worry, no one got hurt or die while attempting this 'sport'.
haha!
other than tat, we all can have free miso soup n tea too! no need to pay n there's no limit of how many times you wanna drink it. all thanks to the okasans(dear mothers).
anyway, we all enjoyed ourselves so much tat day, and got so tired(mainly from laughing).
never gonna forget this day! Gakuen ROX!!
