✿ 七五三のイベント

Hey hey hey~ I'm come to blog again. So much thing to share within this month~ :D
For your inforamation, I had a tiring but so so joyful weekend last week.

Last Sunday 20.11.2011 I joined Penang Bridge International Marathon, a day before which Saturday 19.11.2011, I registered myself as a volunteer for Japanese Autumn Festival which was held at Gurney Plaza.

It was a great event titled "七五三" (しち-ご-さん 7-5-3) traditional festival day in Japan for 3 and 7 years old girls and 3 and 5 years old boys. This time, together Japan consulate, Cosplay Toshokan and Pink Hibiscus they organised this event in Gurney Plaza, Penang for two days.


That day, together with members from Japanese Language Society and other volunteers from USM, we departed to Gurney Plaza at 9.30am for preparation of the event. The organisers are all nice and gentle persons, we had a nice day worked (played) with them. ^^

Event of the day:
1. Kimono / Yukata wearing and photoshooting
2. Kids treasure hunt
3. Kids planting activity
4. Adults ramen eating competition
5. Adults Cosplay competition preview
6. Singing
...... bla bla bla

Basically activities for this event all were made for kids. But as an adult, I had lots of fun too.
Ran here and there, taking pictures, flirting cute Japanese kids, helping out with those fun games.....
But that was too bad that I wasn't able to attend the second day, which is on 20.11 due to Penang Bridge Marathon. More interesting activities on Sunday wtf ><

Before the crowds came in, we as volunteers enjoyed our sweet and relax time first. xD
Finally, I got the chance to try on Kimono! Huuhuu~
It took almost half an hour to put on the costume with 2 senseis' help!
ありがとね、いむらせんせい！おつかれさまでした～

That day, Crisnee was one of the volunteer too. ^^ When you find a person share the same interest with you, the joyful definitely will be double up!

Juniors from Japanese Language Society did followed us to try on the kimono after "brain-washed" by us~ we were using the reason "We wanna take more pictures to promote our society in USM". xD

One thing has to be mentioned is, when we were done with dressing and stand there for photo taking, lots of people holding their DSLR and digital cameras also focus on us. Lots of cameras and flashlights on us and made us shocked + surprised. We even whispired that we should looked at which cameras and smile more beautifully lol.


Actually there are more to be mentioned for this event. Due to my laziness, I just jot down the part that I was longing long time ago. =P

New experinces gained, met lotsa new friends, had a fun and full of laughter day. What else better than spending a weekend with all these?
Let's join this together next year~ ^^

** The event just ended 2 days ago and I'm waiting for next year's already. :) **

✿ 2011 for 2011

Ya~ yesterday was a really special day to me.
20.11.2011 not only special by the date, but also came along with different meaning to me.

It's because of, in my 21 years life time, I finally took part in this event!

Sounds so incredible right? I was took part in 10km fun run category since I know that my body stamina ain't that great to challange higher category.

Full marathon - 42km
Half marathon - 21km
Men and women open - 10km
Fun Run - 10km

The different between open categoy and fun run is, if you win in open category you will get a medal, as for fun run, as long as you come back within the limited time and you will get a participation certificate~ many of my friends and I just wanna join for experience, thus we all registered under fun run. ^^

Since this category is the easiest task through out this event, it was started at 7am. But since me and my friends don't have car, we WALKED from USM to Queensbay shopping at 4.30am. =P

The limited time for this category was 1.5 hour and I can proudly say to the world that I completed it within 1hour 20minutes! Well, I know this is not a proud thing to share since got lots of "superman" and "superwomen" can complete it within hour. But for my level, I glad that I created another new record for myself and congras to me that I didn't gave up through this marathon~ ^^

And also because of this, I wasn't able to take pictures as my friends did! I was all the way rushing to finish point~
Never mind, next year I'll go again and hopefully I will have confidence to join 21km run~ :)
