my super random Saturday: Japan Cultural Day by The Japan Foundation of KL

Hello, I'm back~!

It's June already, how time flies! I know, i know! Haven't been blogging much in May but my past few weekends I was sorta occupied. Three weekends ago, I had company event which I'm gonna share with you in another post 'cause I got something else to share today LOL. This post is about what I did last Saturday (before I fell horribly sick the following day fml) when I was out with friends attending a Japan Cultural Day by The Japan Foundation of KL in Gallery Shah Alam.

We were there to make Tsumami Zaiku~! One of my friends, Nadia found out about the event a day prior and asked me, and walah, we're in.

We were initially only given two different colored chirimen but traded among ourselves and the result is so prettayyy~!

Our masterpieces~~

One of my friend who never tried yukata really wanted to try it badly and luckily we didn't have to stay too long to try them on even tho it was scheduled for afternoon session.

Sensei was teaching us how to put on a yukata

Tadaa~~ Shorty here posing with my yukata~ Face so round here LOL

My friends and I in traffic-light-color yukatas.

Well, sorta, cause Japanese calls green light 'Aoi', which translates to blue but of course they meant green. Analogous colors, geddit?

Mandatory show-off-those-ribbons pose

Mandatory seiza pose wth LOL

Future event promotional pose LOL

Please come and join the Japan Culture events by The Japan Foundation of KL. And of course other Japanese culture events like Bon Odori and Isetan Japan Food Fair ahem ahem. 'Cause #goodJapfood

We also checked out the Tohoku Exhibition~ No taking photos inside so this is the only pic ( ^__^;)

Just found out Gallery Shah Alam is more than just a gallery. They've got a part with picnic tables with chess boards painted on it, a HUGE lake with running tracks, I'm envious! I miss jogging around the lake like back in uni.

And I saw some people kayak, I miss that too!

That's most of it. We didn't stay for long and GrabCar our way back. Then had late lunch back at NuSentral's Sushi Zanmai.

And tea time/dinner after a meetup among our Language School Peeps because mapo tofu (LOL) isn't filling.

Chamomile tea because it's already night. Boy, does this helped me sleep so well!

Green tea soufle~

Bunkasai this year~

A few blog posts ago I mentioned that the Japanese Society of my uni (which I have graduated from) would be organizing its 4th annual Bunkasai this year. The event was held on the 1st of March and while I couldn't be there, I am more than happy to share with you these photos I manage to find (*°▽°*)

Just so you know these photos are NOT mine and full credits to the owners who have given me the permission to post them here. For that, I got them to thank (*⌒∇⌒*)

Happy V Day~!

Happy Valentine's Day~! ((≧▽≦/)) .｡.:*☆

Today I gave tomo choco (means tomodachi chocolate or friends chocolates) to my housemates, colleagues hohoho sis too though bro's not getting any because he is not around :/

Nice o not the packaging? Packed them on my own with goodies bag bought from Daiso (⌒▽⌒)~❤

All of them~~

This Valentine also marks the 15th day of CNY or Chap Goh Meh and usually people only open the ang pows we collected throughout this CNY. Not sure why they do so but I opened mine even before Chap Goh Meh hahahaha

This year's ang pows packets v( ^o^)v This year is the Horse Year so that explains why red packets with horse prints ↓

Doraemon: My Childhood Memories

Went on a date with Doraemon~ (// v //)

Ok not. Actually was at the

100 Doraemon Secret Gadgets Expo

 at Viva Home last Sunday~♪

Super huge fan of Doraemon and it's one of the first few comics I was reading(besides Sailormoon and Cat's Eyes).

Super missed them all but Doraemon was our(siblings and I) favorite and we had like almost every single books including the one-book Doraemon and friends adventures. No kidding! Because we read them over and over till secondary school, most of the pages/cover were really worn out. Then mom decided to have them recycle after the comics started pilling up.. (；Д；) But we still have a lot of them now hahaha

Anyway, yeah, back to Doraemon expo topic.

Here are some photos from the expo. Don't wanna be such a spoilsport for those who haven't been there since the expo will be till March 2014. 

Here's a Dokodemo/Anywhere Door~

The original Doraemon~

Many, many Doraemons!

The original script of Doraemon @ the comic section.

Merchandise section got rainbow color Doraemon!!

Super kawaiiii~~ Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Doraemon stamp on the back of our hands.

At the cafeteria, there are dorayaki, memory toast and latte with Doraemon design on the surface some more!

Bought some dorayaki to nom but think they tasted a bit... weird/artificial/too much preservative? Tasted better ones before.

Didn't spend much on the food there. Instead, we got photos of ourselves popping out of Nobita's drawers in Nobita's room by the photographer there. That was RM20++ for every printouts that comes together with frame. I think it's worth so much more it ❤

If you don't want to spend on those, there's also this one photo booth with props provided you can camwhore as much as you like there.

Me nomnomnom-ing the memory toast (prop) happily↓

Don't forget to check this expo out while you can.

And thank you for dropping by! Oyasumi~~ (,⌒▽⌒ /）
