Me. My Life. And Crap.



Friday, August 7, 2009 @ 3:59 PM: Bon Odori 2009
Yo my peeps!!!
Lol...

Feeling slightly crazy for some reason today~
No idea why seeing as I just got up about an hour or so ago!!!

But anyways,
Bon Odori pics r finally up!!!
Enjoy!!! =)

F.Y.I, All this was on the 18th July 2009.




So before we went to Bon Odori,
which started around 5pm,
we (me, Sara, Vee Shian) decided to go early to MV to watch Harry Potter 6.
We've been dying to watch this together for a long time!!

And it just came out a few days earlier.
So we thought it would be safe to watch on a Friday morning.
Wrong!!!!



U see this row of ppl?
We're not in that row.
We at the row BESIDE IT!!!
FURTHER OUTSIDE!!!


We made a whole circle before
reaching the row shown above...


So, after lining up for almost an hour,
we reached the counter that told us the time slots before 5pm were all sold out!!
So we asked if we could get the tickets from the uncollected Reservations.
But the person told us we needed to be there 30mins before the movie start.

So, with nothing else to do,
we tried going for the Q&A session for Harry Potter going on nearby.
I of course, knew many answers already seeing as I had read the book.
But...
When I finally got the chance to answer...

I got it wrong!!!
Reli fucked up!!!
This is why I hate movies based on books...
Sometimes, they change too much from the book!!

It was supposed to be freakin Tonks that found Harry on the train floor!!!
Not Luna!!!!
But nooooo, they had to change that in the movie...
Ugh... freaks!!! =.=''

Well, since I couldn't get the free tickets or any merchandise at all,
we could only go eat something (lunch!)
before going to line up again!!!


Lives up to her monkey zodiac reputation right? XDDD
Jkjkjk.
She was jz tying her hair XD

Well, after lining up the second round!!!
For another hour!!!!
We reached the counter again, that told us we needed to wait another 4mins before the tickets would be released...

I was like WTF??!!
So we gotta line up again???
Swt.... I asked the counter person if we could wait at a side for 4mins.
And the person finally allowed us.
Thank God!!!


And when 4mins was up, they called us over...
And...



Voila!!!
TICKETS!!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! XDD

This time,
we went to the Q&A session again, where they had a photo taking booth beside it.
We could take a free photo with 2 HP6 tickets.

Soooo......


Meet Eddie Potter and Sara Granger!!!
Lame, I know XDDD


I even wore the Harry Potter glasses!!!
LMAO!!!

The movie was not bad.
Much better than the 5th.
But I was still a bit dissapointed with all the changes frm the book.
They even removed a lot of important parts!!
Like the visit to Gaunt's house.
The battle while Dumbledore is killed.

And more emphasis on how Voldemort finds the objects for the horcruxes...
I have no idea how r they gonna continue the final movie without mentioning this part in the current 6th movie...
I just hope they don't ruin the final movie.
And don't change too much from the book.

Otherwise, there's gonna be hell to pay!!!



After the movie ended,
it was already almost 5pm.
So we rushed to the KTM station to get to Shah Alam.

My God!!
The station was damn packed!!
And so was the KTM itself!!

We literally squashed our way into the KTM,
until we arrived at KL Sentral to switch to another KTM line.
At that stop, we actually didnt get to move at all while getting into the KTM!!!

I remember my hands squashed at my side, unable to move,
and I was being slowly pushed into the KTM.
I couldnt walk at all!!!
I couldn't get away from the crowd,
whether I wanted to get in or out of the KTM!!!

Thankfully Sara n Vee Shian was pushed in as well.
Otherwise, we might've been separated...




Wow.
I've never really realised how scary a huge crowd can be.

I mean, in movies we see families separated in large crowds during war.
And you think, why couldn't they just move to a side and wait for the crowd to disperse?

After experiencing something similar,
I will never underestimate a crowd ever again.
I actually was unable to move at all.
My feet only moved as the crowd did!!!



Anyway, after getting stuck in the KTM for another 1/2hr without moving...
(twas funny whn me, v.shian n Sara were stuck like glue to each other~ I had to use Sara's head to push my glasses up since my hands were stuck at my sides XDD)

We finally arrived at the Shah Alam KTM Station!!
We took a free shuttle bus to the Stadium,
and voila!!!

We arrived at Bon Odori at last!!!

Around 6.30pm.



Look at that crowd!!!!


Awww... they were selling kimonos and japanese headbands...
I wanted to get a headband...
But it cost rm15 =.=''
Like hell I was gonna buy it!!!


There were seats up there.
For ppl who wanted to have a good view of the festival.
But we didn't sit up there.
We wanted to tour around and be part of d action!! =D


Damn cool drummers!!!
Sugoi!!!


Me and Sara.
Both looking beaten up.
We have finally arrived... after all that chaos!!!


Me, Vee Shian and Sara.
Best friends 4ever!!

Right.
So obviously, we began roaming around searching for food.
And then, we made a stop at a sushi place.


Look at them enjoying~


Haha... i watched them eating...
I didn't think I'd eat anything there but....


There turned out to have egg rolls!!!
So I ate XDD


Mmmmm...
Not filling, but just the way we like it.

After that,
we met up with Bernard,
who was kind enough to drop us all back to my house.
Thanks dude!!


We were supposed to hang out together but,
it was hard to meet up with each other in there.
The phone lines were impossible to get in the crowd.
I had to go out of the main gates just to get some slight reception,
enough to send a sms...

Lol.


Well,
overall it was an awesome night.


And a great day too!!! =)
