frozen stiff

OMG! woke up today n eveything was going on like normal.
#woke up 10 minutes later than usual..well..normal la..
#went downstairs to brush my teeth n greet otosan n oksasan a very good morning >_< *good girl*
# went back into room to change into school uniform n tie up my hair n do some last minute school-bag-tidying
#rush downstairs, have breakfast, grab obento n off i go.........but then.....

SAMUIIII!!!! it was freezing cold outside 2day, even though it`s sunny but the temperature was like 13・c only....walao eh...

#dash back indoors, grab scarf, dash back out again..
#went through a tormenting 10 minutes ride on my lovely bicycle..'enjoying! the morning breeze so much that i couldn`t even get off it later on--pi gu frozen stiff on the bicycle dy T_T * joking~~*


anyway, school was like normal la 2day, except those times when we have to get out of the school building into the cold cold weather. it rained though, during lunch break. that`s why 2day i din go have lunch in the canteen, can`t even imagine walking that 2 minutes walk to canteen.
bad news is that, i forgot to bring my flower umbrella to school 2day T_T well..it was sunny in the morning.....luckily my lovely friends bruce aka takohead and happy-go-lucky kei aka gay-chan was there and they walked me to my bus station. usually chris n bruce would accompany me to the bus station but today chris had to go to his host brother`s school festival so he left school earlier. T_T
appreciate you guys a lot takohead n gay-chan!! xoxoxo

autumm

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!!

school festival

i know~long time no update blog..apologise for tat >_<

but Kyoto Gakuen`s school festival has just finished n i had lots of fun! so thought of dropping a few word about it here. >_<

first of all, we all had to go through a few student-killing-preparation for the school festival-practising choir, doing posters, arranging duties, buying ingredients for our stall(waffle stall), designing t-shirts, collecting money(the most difficult job of all!) bla bla bla. my class is singing "heal the world" by MJ n we`re selling hot waffles! *yay!*

every student can only invite 3 friends from other school to come to the festival, so of course i invited my exchange student friends since i dunno other high school students here. lol.
and finally~~it`s the BIG DAY! eveyone came to school vry early to set up our waffle stall, and do a last minute pratice for the song. every class in 1st year have to join choir competition, do everyone si beh add oil lor. *touched* but the best thing is tat my class don use piano as the muscic, we use harp n violin...geng lea! >_< but sadly we din win, lost to another class singing high school musical song...*arrrggghhh~~*

after the competition we all started selling our waffle coupons around school. basically we jus walk around casually in school n ambush any teachers or parents or any friends tat we know. all we had to do jus wave the tickets right in front of their eyes n say "100¥".haha! sounds like along but tat`s our job la..wat 2 do..=p and the teachers also so kind, sure buy from us one. the worst customers are our friends who has their own class tickets, so we ended up buying from them pulak sometimes =_="

other than tat, there were lots of pameran in school. like the science team, calligraphy team, mothers team(selling home made products), music team( live concert at the downstairs cafe lounge), and many more lor. so whole day i bz like wat nia..wan sell tickets, cook waffles, watch concert, go eat eat eat, then wanna search for my own works in the pameran also. phew! it got worse when my exchange frens came, have to bring them around school n intro them lagi..hinz~~

the SF ended at like 3pm. we helped clean the stall then went for closing ceremony. after tat at 7.30pm our class go celebrate at a "yaki nikku" restaurant ( japanese style BBQ). almost 30 of us jus dashed into the restaurant n took 3 tables there. poor thing the waiters ceh kia like wat. haha! then we all keep ordering n ordering n BBQ-ing there. it`s like buffet la..jus tat the waiters bring wat you wants to the table. haha. had a great time lol..*happy*

i was so ceh kong to see all the other exchange students again! cos we haven`t met in like 5 months. and everyone`s japanese has improved so much! we all can`t speak without adding in the japanese 'ehhhh?!' or 'honto?!'. tat jus proved tat we are totally influenced by japlish dy.. T_T



but we had fun anyway! tat`s the law(in my world)-have fun during summer camp!

the most memorable activities is Haunted Mountian, cooking curry rice, CAMP FIRE, and talent show. the most important thing is tat we all enjoyed it together! all people from all over the world. btw, the camp`s theme is `ONE, EVERYBODY TOMODACHI!'

Gion Matsuri


my very 1st experience of going to a japanese festival!!

conclusion= FUN!

the festival lasts around 4 days. and on the last day there was a BIG parade around town.
for the 1-3 days there was something like pasar malam. starts at around 5pm. the police closes up ALL the streets then everybody party! haha..jkjk..but there was sooo many people there, esp aft the streets were closed.


i went to the festival on the 2-4 days. 1st day was with AFS staffs and xchange students lo. we wore yukata and those wooden slippers(geta). it was kinda fun but walking needs some skills..lol..cos it`s long and kinda tight around the waist. and those geta slippers! they`re rili kejam! T_T very hard and the straps are vry painful. now i noe why girls wearing yukata talk small small steps. lol..

saw a lot of gaijins(foreigners) at the festival too. haha..especially during the parade. cos parade was in the morning, so most japanese people are either at work or studying. me? hehe..got permission from teacher to go watch it! V^_^V it was vry interesting lo..1st time watch tis kinda parade. but there were so many people there..wan breath also difficult..haha.


well..if u wanna see photos jus go to my facebook lo..i`ll jus put a few here =p
