Well, having not updated for quite sometime, I guess it's just as fair that I give you the update on June Holidays.. Well, today, it's the last day of the holidays and.. I feel as though.. I didn't have a holiday to begin with. I spent my holidays worrying over projects, gathering for them, spending most of the time at home thinking about things.. constantly worrying about how things are going to be like.. working on my art project.. Deciding on which color code.. it's difficult.. To me, that is. So I'd start with the streetfest which was held somewhere in two weeks ago.. June 13th. I set off earlier at around 11+ because Yuki wanted me to accompany her to get color contacts for the fest.. So I went.. The day before, we had actualy gone shopping [Hard to believe it, but yes.. My wardrobe needed more monochrome coloured clothes anyway..].. Me, Yuki and Nanoha went to Cwp to get stuff.. I was kind of aiming for the more.. punkish miyavi styled look.. Though I guess I've failed.. The end result was an emo looking person with an aura of darkness >_>.. haha.. I bought 2 shirts and I got some hand warmers.. which in Yuki's opinion, made me look like those masked rider creeps.. [=_="] But then, I managed to snag a pair of arm warmers too just in time before the fest.. Then, after getting Yuki's coloured contacts, we went back to her house.. until she discovered she didn't buy a contact holder for her contacts, so we went downstairs again to woodmart to get one.. We bought bubble tea on the way back and we returned to her house. We wanted to wait a bit before going to the fest.. So we actually stood by her kitchen's window and started talking about how nice it was if it was Japan.. The scenery from her kitchen window made me feel as though I was actually in another country.. We started talking on our family promblems.. I didn't expect that her family problems were kind of..deep.. We talked for a while and then, this group of indian people passed by.. at that point of time, Yuki randomly shouted "Damn it!" or something and the indian people heard her. They turned to our direction and we quickly ducked. Though I flashed them the finger before ducking completely.. Then, Yuki stood up again and said "Hi..!" and waved to one of the people.. The person waved back and I went .."O.O..." Then, I helped Yuki do a bit of her laundry.. I found out that she does all the housework in her house.. and we kind of landed on the subject of that. She went "Next time, I can help Reita with the housework.." and I kind of agreed.. I mean, who wants a wife who doesn't cook, or do house chores? Unless that person is stinking rich >_>.. After awhile, we set off to the cosfest.. When we boarded the mrt, everyone kept looking at Yuki and me. It was like, Yuki's appearance was one of the age of 18-20.. and I was the age of 13-15 appearance.. a weird combination. Then, we got off at Somerset.. At first, we thought the skate park was the fest.. well, coincidentally, there was a skating competition on that day too, I think. And we got confused because there wrote: Scape park. And the venue for the fest was Scape Youth Park.. There were a lot of malays there.. And I was thinking at that moment where the cosplayers were.. They can't possibly be all malay?! Then, we saw this girl in lolita walking past and a *suspected Japanese* couple.. Hmm.. After awhile, we decided to follow where this suspisciously punk-dressed person was heading to with an instrument and found the fest.. There were a lot of cosplayers there but at the same time, it was like an oven there, too. There was a band performing.. It was either Electric Scarlet or Child's Play.. Because we arrived around 2pm.. Then, we kind of went off to find Yuki's god brother... or to put it in other words, scan the area for him.. But we couldn't find him.. I guess he hadn't arrived at that time yet.. We walked around awhile.. Looking at various cosplayers.. I spotted this Soul Eater cosplayer.. I thought it might be my brother's friend because my brother's friend likes to cosplay and he mentioned something about cosplaying Soul Eater for the next cosfest.. The Soul Eater cosplayer really looked like Soul.. If that was my brother's friend, I would have to applaud him, because he looks like the real deal.. There were a couple of Shugo Chara cosplayers at the side.. The Ikuto cosplayer was rather tall but at the same time, he was rather good looking. But I kind of didn't want to take pictures with him.. because I was.. feeling rather awkward.. And then, we kind of stopped over at the bus stop to rest before starting off again and then, I bumped into the Ikuto cosplayer! He wore bluish-violet contacts [That was what I thought I saw..] and he looked at me, kind of surprised. I went "Oh Kami! I'd better get away!" and scuttled like a rat off =_=" to somewhere else.. following Yuki.. I called Roxanne to ask where she was after a while, when we got tired of walking and were sitting at the stone benches.. She was just beside the fest, at the Botak Jones coffee shop.. But I was too lazy to go there at that moment, so me and Yuki went to explore a tiny maze filled with save our earth art done by youths.. And Evergreen there.. It was a bit of a shock but when we saw Mr Viknesh's name there, I guess they really did came over.. The prefect EXCO first batch, that is... We got a little tired of the maze and wanted to escape the noise so we went to the shopping centre nearby, just diagonally opposite the fest. I remembered going there before with Clarice and the rest, so I was a little familiar with the place.. We were walking pass Famous Amos when we bumped into Yuki's god brother. Well, at least this time, Yuki was brave and even exchanged a few lines with him.. After that, he returned to his group of friends whom we couldn't really see clearly in a disctance. We felt a bit hungry after that.. And there was Burger King nearby.. I was about to go into it when Yuki told me her god brother was in there.. We went in and sat down anyway.. Yuki treated me to Hershey's Sundae Pie.. And halfway when I was eating, Yuki's god brother left first.. His group of friends turned out to be girls.. marjority of them.. three of them all dressed up in lolita dresses.. But.. They were a bit... off... One was dressed in totally pink with frills, which made me a bit pukey.. I mean, I really have no idea or hold no offence against the people who like pink, but completely pink? You have to be kidding me.. It made me kind of sick.. Another one was dressed in black with mixes of red here and there for her dress.. I guess it was okay.. I forgot what the other one was wearing but they were pretty average, I suppose.. But I was looking at the person without my specs on at that time, so I couldn't see their faces properly.. Then, we finished and once again, we sort of bumped into Yuki's god brother outside the next restaurant. He was talking to Yuki for a moment and asking her about her contacts.. Then he looked at me to see if I was wearing any contacts.. But I wasn't.. Just plain blindness x_x.. After another short exchange of dialogue between the two of them, we went upstairs to have a look at the neo print shop ..It was crowded with people.. On the way there.. I bumped into a Kuroshitsuji cosplayer! It was Sebastian Michealis, butler of Ciel.. I think the person beside was cosplaying another anime character.. But that Sebastian cosplayer was around the height of that Ikuto cosplayer.. or maybe a bit taller? He wore red contacts and when he looked at me, I went "O.O... OH! SEBASTIAN! WOOTS!" mentally.. of course. If I were to say that aloud, the person might just think I'm mad or something.. Yuki went to get a pair of earrings and went to find a gift for her mother, but however, we couldn't find any suitable gift and went back to the fest.. There, I met up with Roxanne, who was sitting with two of her friends under one of the umbrella shelters.. drinking. I went up to say hello to her and her friends and they greeted me and Yuki back.. Though I think Yuki was too busy trying to spot her god brother instead.. I asked her what she was doing there and she said she and her friends were sitting there to escape the heat and just pretend to be judges for the bands performing and gave them a rating.. Though so far, she quoted that none of the bands were exceptionally good.. And if they were really judges, they would probably fail everyone of them.. I'm not really sure as to agree with her.. The first few bands performing sung what was similiar to ballads.. slow and all that.. Then we hung around the bus stop again.. Yuki saw two girs wearing something that looks like a yukata with flutes in their hands and she asked me to take a picture for her using her handphone.. She asked the girls to pose with her and whilst I took their pictures.. I was a bad photographer.. But passable job, I think.. Yuki asked them if they really played the flute after posing with them and the girls nodded, replying that they were in the school band.. Yuki also said that back to them.. We leaned against the red bus model to rest awhile.. until Yuki's god brother came to scare her. Yuki screamed. Like a teenager. Unlike her appearance.. She scolded him later.. Yuki's god brother had appeared to have left his group of friends.. and now, he was with Yuki's rival.. Crackers [Nickname that we bestowed upon her]. It seemes as though Crackers bought her sister along, which didn't seem one bit happy about it and she kept looking at her sister and Yuki's god brother.. suspisicously. Yuki didn't like Crackers because she kept clinging onto her god brother and gave off this attitude.. like a slut. Crackers appeared to be wearing shades and have painted her finger nails black [Both things similiar to Yuki] and she did eyeliner.. which in Yuki's opinion, failed. When Yuki tried to greet her, Crackers just gave this simple "Hi" and looked away.. And Yuki was rather angry, I guess. After when the three walked away, Yuki kept going on about Crackers acting as a J-Rock wannabe fan and clinging on to her god brother.. Which utterly pissed her off.. We went around awhile before I had to go to my Japanese class.. which was at 4.30p.m.. all the way in Orchard. My initial plan was to walk there with Yuki but since she didn't want to walk there and wanted to stay at the fest a little longer, I went off by train and dropped off after one stop. During the class, I just could not concentrate at all.. Guess I was thinking too much into the fest.. And then, Yuki smsed me about her seeing this Versailles Hizaki cosplayer.. which really looked like the real deal.. I told her to snap a picture and let me see it later but that cosplayer walked away before she had the chance to.. Which was rather disappointing.. Then, she smsed me again that she spotted two Antic Cafe cosplayers.. One cosplaying as Kanon and the other as Bou, if I was not wrong.. I was squealing at the other end during my lesson.. It was like I went "OMG! OMG!" after receiving her sms and Jia Hao who was sitting beside me looked at me weirdly. After class, I asked Yuki where she was.. She went to Kinokuniya to look at some books.. whilst waiting for me. After meeting up with her, we decided to go back to the fest to see if there was anything new happening and we walked from Orchard to Somerset.. When we reached there, the band Myraid was performing.. It was such a pity, because if I had arrived earlier, I might have the chance to listen to Saiko Sex perform.. well, but Myraid was awesome, pretty awesome for a local band.. They had the front row people headbanging. I knew because I could see the girl's looong hair swishing here and there.. And Yuki pointed out that the guitarists looked nice.. I have to admit, they look outstanding *_*. One of the guitarists looked a lot like Alice Nine's Hiroto.. Too bad I couldn't take out my camera and flash a good picture because of my camera having this funny, malfunction of having the memory erasing page coming out with this [xD] on the screen.. It was as if the camera was laughing at me, to make it worse -_-. I nearly smashed it into the floor... Then, they came to this point at the end where the shouted "Fuck!" to the crowd.. It was like having Detroit Metal City Jack II Dark versus-ing Krauser to a fuck off battle.. Who could keep the "Fuck" word and keep saying it without stopping.. And the guy practically shouted into the mic.. Which I think, from diagonally across the street, you could hear clearly.. Because during the time when I was walking with Yuki to Somerset, I could hear their screams from that spot clearly.. That guy had a powerful voice.. and the amps at the side of the stage were good. The band was performing.. mainly Dir En Grey songs.. I don't really know much about Dir En Grey.. Maybe the some of the member's names.. Die, Shinya, Kyo.. Okay, out of all the member's, Kyo was the one that was quite funny and impressive, but I couldn't help giggling when Die said "Taiwan... ... It's not Thailand... is it? They both have the "Tai" [Japanese pronunciation] in common.." that was funny.. Anyway, after their performance ended, everyone was clappping.. They really got the crowd high, which was good. Yuki clapped her hardest, I think.. That band was really rocking everyone.. Evidence points to the people headbanging.. Then, after Myraid got off, Slapshocked, the last band for the night got on.. The vocalist was a Malay.. and one of the guitarists were too, if I'm not wrong.. They played X Japan songs.. Speaking of X Japan, it's sad that Hideto, a former guitarist of X Japan passed away.. He had a towel around his neck which was around the doorknob.. He was strangled to death..sadly.. The cause of his death was unknown, though some people said that it was suicide, and others said he was drunk.. It was unclear.. But it had a big impact on the X Japan fans.. Here's some information regarding Hide's funeral..and death..: On the night of May 1st, 1998, hide went out drinking with his brother and when they returned home around 5 am, needless to say they were trashed. They were left by the person who'd brought them back to hide's home and no one knows exactly why, but when the woman hide was living with returned around 7 am, she found hide hung by a towel on the bathroom doorknob. She of course called the Japanese version of 911, but it was too late, hide was pronounced dead around 9am, May 2nd 1998. Needless to say the Japanese music scene was shocked by the sudden death of the best rock guitarist ever in Japan. Much speculation surrounds the events that lead to the death of hide. Most agree that it was an accident, helped by the alcohol, but what hide was doing that required a towel around his neck attached to a doorknob...we may never know. Since there was no motive or suicide note, there isn't much ground to believe that it was a intentional suicide. hide was 33 years old.On May 7th, hide's funeral was held in the Hongan temple in Central Chichuji, Tokyo. It was a scorching 100 degree day and along with those involved in the funeral, approximately 50,000 fans gathered around the temple to pay their respects to hide. Several actually attempted suicide themselves, not being able to live without hide. X Japan performed "Scars" (which hide wrote) and "Forever Love" for the people in attendance at the funeral.. That was the information. Though Hide's death has been quite a long time ago, it was really a big impact.. This was the first time I heard a J-Rocker that has passed away and created quite a big impact.. After watching the video when Yoshiki, the vocalist of X Japan talked about hide's death and pausing in between because he himself was really sad, was really touching.. Three of the fans committed suicide the way Hide died, by strangling themselves with a towel around their necks.. with a doorknob as a helping stand... I was shocked when I heard this news from Yuki.. A death of one J-Rocker could make all these happen.. I wouldn't want to think about what happens if any other bands have any mishap.. Alright, so back onto the post.. Oh yeah, the Myraid band members were standing quite close, watching Slapshocked perform.. And then, I saw that Hiroto lookalike pass by me and I went nudging Yuki and I was practically going "OH KAMI! HIROTO LOOKALIKE!".. I'm crazy, I know.. This girl in the front was holding up X Japan's Tokyo Dome concert towel which was black and red.. Yuki looked at it and told me that it was the actual towel from Tokyo Dome.. means that the girl had actually went to X Japan's concert at Tokyo Dome and got the towel.. SuGoi *O.O*.. that girl is really lucky.. to be able to go to Japan.. Somehow, typing this makes me think of that LJ author who's now living in Japan that went to the GazettE's concert and SuG's concert..thinking about it just makes me depressed =_="... She saw heidi performing..and the bassist, Kousuke, threw the pick at her and she caught it.. Heeey.. Why doesn't that ever happen to me?! T_T.. I hope to get the GazettE's towels or at least Ruki's water bottle if I ever get to the GazettE's concert.. anything they throw off the stage... I would worship it if I laid my hands on it >_>.. Right, back on. The vocalist took the towel from the girl's hands and waved it around.. It was quite interesting.. But we had to leave a little early because of my curfew.. But when we went back on the MRT, we were talking about the concert.. And after awhile, we switched topics to Japanese particles.. like ni, wa, wo.. all the types of particles.. I didn't know how to explain it to Yuki, because it all just comes naturally to me.. I think whatever sounds right and I'd just say it out.. Although maybe sometimes, I get it wrong.. I think it's alright.. I had a hard time telling her examples.. After dropping off at Admiralty, we went off and I returned home.. and ate the dinner that was left for me.. The J-Rock fest was ultimately fun.. Then, the past two weeks were doing projects, gathering for them.. The final gathering before school reopened was with Nanoha, Fate, Caro..at my house. We gathered for the last compilations of our History project and Chinese project.. It was hard, because we were supposed to invent some sort of souvenir for the olympics. I suggested figurines of athletes.. And we ended up trying to draw Maria Sharapova.. Which failed terribly.. We asked Nanoha to draw. Maria Sharapova's back ended up having no backbone at all. And no butt either.. No offence, to all of Maria's fans.. We didn't do that intentionally T_T..! We compiled the history project and managed to get it done.. After that, we sort of went outside to play badminton but way before that, I was playing Tekken 5 on PS2.. Then, we played for a little while.. some of my hits went into the bushes.. and Fate ended up trying to retrieve it.. フェイトさん、本当にごめなさいでした。After getting a little tired of playing badminton, we tried our CD drama recording again.. But Fate was all out of energy.. so were we.. after trying about four times, we decided that the monotone in our voice was enough to make people sleep and with Caro around, it might feel weird doing the recording... It was around 5-6+ when we ended all our activties.. The rest went back and I went back to playing the computer... Recently, I have gotten really crazy into wagashi making [Japanese sweet] and I asked my cousin to help me translate a recipe from a website.. It was the cha dango recipe [Green Tea].. I couldn't translate that recipe was because I was only E2 and my cousin was going to Advanced soon.. Although I still can't get over the fact she used Babel Fish from Yahoo to translate the ingredients.. I went to romaji org to hiragana-ise the kanji words.. And I remembered the hiragana version.. and went to look the ingredient up in Isetan.. I hope that this time, the dango recipe would be correct because I referred to another website before and the dango became a miniature geographical model of the Earth, with the crust, mantle and core. If you broke the thing, the flour would pour out. Which me and Fate, at that time, labelled as the 'core'.. The mantle was the sweet sugar slime coating the hard piece. And the crust? Floury bits that flaked off the solid pieces. It was disgusting.. anyway, my cousin managed to translate the whole recipe and I went to Isetan in the morning to get the ingredients. There was a Hokkaido fair going on and I remembered that a few days ago, my mother had told me that my aunt was taking up a job and working under Isetan as a promoter.. She promotes fish roe [ fish eggs ] at the Hokkaido fair.. I thought I'd visit her for a moment.. After buying the ingredients, I went to find my aunt.. And I found her and her boss, promoting the fish roe to some customers.. I went over to say hi.. and then, I noticed, her boss... LOOKS JUST LIKE MY CHINESE TEACHER!! *SPURTS BLOOD* But he was Japanese. He went "O.O..." at me when I said hi to my aunt. I quickly greeted him with a "こんにちは"[Hello] and bowed.. Okay, seriously, for the bowing thing.. I just have this tendency to after watching animes and all that Japanesey influence, I'm starting to bow when I saw hello to people or when I'm saying sorry.. or thank you.... Because I think it's polite? It just became a habit for me, I guess.. Bowing to people.. My aunt's boss was so surprised that I bowed to him and greeted him that he was stunned for a minute or so, before he quickly bowed and greeted me back. He went to my aunt and asked about who I was.. My aunt went "私の妹…の..の…”[My little sister.........] She actually meant to say, my little sister's daughter, and she picked up her dictionary and was flipping it whilst dragging it. Her boss looked at me surprised and went "Little sister..?" in Japanese and I went "いーいえ、ちー違うです!私は妹じゃない!”[N-No, that's wrong! I'm not the little sister!"] to him.. and my aunt managed to find the word and completed the sentence.. It was kind of funny, really.. Although my aunt was studying a higher grade than me in Japanese, she stutters whilst trying to speak the Japanese words out wherelse I speak calmly and trying my best to make it smooth.. And he asked me how old I was.. I replied that I was fourteen and he said "中学?" [Middle School?] in Japanese and I just said "Middle school.." back to him. I forgot to add the -student behind.. I'm such an idiot =_=.. And he was "Oh, Middle Schooler!" and I just nodded.. It was freaky. Talking to a real Japanese made me feel like an idiot, somehow.. Anyway, he went back to mending the stall.. There was quite alot of people, surprisingly. I thought fish roe wasn't that popular in Singapore.. I thought it was jelly when I first saw it.. I waited for my aunt to finish her work and killed time walking around Isetan.. And I thought I saw this primary school mate Rebecca.. I think it was her.. And her little sister. And if I wasn't wrong, she was shorter than me. Waaaay shorter than me. I think that was her sister.. But that looked like her?! I only recall that she didn't have any twins.. She looked at me for awhile.. But I guess I was already making my way through the dango shop, so she couldn't see my face. But I just knew it was her. Haha. Fancy seeing someone who once used to be part of the torture trio of my primary school life and now just a friend there. After my aunt finished work, we met up with my cousin and the rest for dinner. Wew ent to this Japanese restaurant and I ordered cha soba.. And my aunt offered me her chawanmushi.. My cousin and I started talking about school and she asked me what subject combination I wanted to take.. I guess, in her school, chemistry was compulsory because all the combinations she told me went chemistry, physics. etc. We started talking about the travel trip to Japan.. And she said that if my family goes first, she would follow but if ehr family goes first.. Well, no way in hell would I give up the chance to be in Shibuya or Harajuku. Of course. Japan. Hell yes I'd go. Fuck the homesickness. That's going to be my new home in the future anyway.. Ehem. So yeah. My aunt mentioned about going next year because this year, my cousin has to go to Shandong for her school immersion trip, which is compulsory every year. That's one point about being in elite schools. You can have the chance to go for a trip every year,and not wait for the principal to announce and on top of that, you need a contribution to the school and let the teachers access you. My cousin's school gives you several choices of the places you want to go to : China, Japan, India, Venice, New Zealand, France.. and the United Kingdom, if I'm not wrong.. But they slug pretty hard during normal times too, that makes up for it. And they do pretty dangerous experiments in the lab. With acids. I mean real ones. Just abit too alkalised at this point of stage. But when they advance next year, they use real acidic liquids. And my school? Ammonia. It's not much of a threat.. And my cousin gets to analyze DNA way before our school actually made a special trip to science centre just for some DNA course. Back to subject, my cousin said we might be going Tokyo and Osaka next year if we were to go to Japan.. Of course, the chances of her following my family is zilch, because we two are the only ones that can speak Japanese. My parents doesn't know how to, wherelse her family knows how to speaks Japanese.. Well, marjority. except her little sister. which gave up after elementary one. Maybe I would snag a ticket to the GazettE's concert on my trip over there.. But I have to ask my mum first, and it would depend on the location we're visiting.. God, I can't wait. She started off about Japanese desserts.. And she mentioned that there's this place: The Ministry Of Food that specialises in Japanese desserts.. there are all sorts of dangos and all there. I'm going there next week, or maybe two weeks after.. After eating, my aunt offered to give me a lift home and when we all got into her car, I saw her GPS system. It was a mini sort of map of the whole Singapore. Just type in the address or postal code of the place and voila, the GPS would give you directions. They typed in my postal code address and there was arrows and a little car signifying my uncle's appeared on the screen.. It was like a video game, except this was real.. and fun. My aunt and uncle brought me back home after following the directions.. It was fun. They had also told me that they downloaded the maps of Malaysia and Japan into the GPS so if we ever go to Japan, we could rent a car and stick the GPS on.. And they'd give us the place where we want to go to.. That's reeeally convenient.. The next day, I made dango.. My mum came back and she actually thought I went to buy it from a store.. I put it in the fridge and the net day, I let Nanoha and the rest try it.. But was hard to eat.. Probably because of the fridge.. But it was a success.. I'm aiming for mochi next time.. I'd post again after my Japanese test results come out.. that's all for the June Holiday post now, so.. You guys'd probably take one hour reading this though... Haha^^;..
