夏まつり-Japanese Summer Festival...This is the first time I went to such a big Japanese festival.When in Malaysia everytime just in Penang or KL will have such event,so never have a chance to go.. But now they are helding at Japanese Primary School-Changi..Although it took me around 1 hour plus to reach that place,it is still in Singapore , better than I took 2 hours or 5 hours to go Penang or KL from Alor Star.
I was so excited once I reached that school. Saw all those people wearing yukata went inside the school.But very unfortunate when I reached there,all yukata had been rented out!!! arghh!!!! Can't wear the yukata to go inside the festival feel like very incomplete..But there are still many people who didn't wear it,so is still ok.
Once inside the festival, I can see a whole crowd of people.At first I thought many of those people are Singaporean and Chinese. But after I mixed inside the crowd I just realised that I was surrounded by Japanese!!!OMG!!! This is the first time I saw so many Japanese, damn excited!!!
She is not a Japanese,just my friend from JAC.
really envy she got her own Yukata ..haha
Inside the festival there are many stalls that sell food, snack, beer,accessory, toys and information about Japan.It was very crowded. You can saw many people queueing up to buy the food and snacks. And also there are many people wearing mask, got Pikachu la,Kamen Rider la, hello kitty la, spiderman la and others. Especially that pikachu mask, I really want it very much,but after I found out where is the stall is,the mask already sold out.=.=||| again, I missed it.
The crowd and the food stalls
The beer stall
The pikachu mask that I want most!!!!
My first experience to natsu matsuri was not just me alone go. I was accompanied by 3 pretty freshies..haha..I am very pleased that they are willing to follow me to go. Because most of my friends are not very interested in Japanese culture.So if they don't want go with me,I'll be there going there lonely,siok sendiri...Thank you Hui Sen,Miki and Woan Yi !!!!
Thanks you girls for coming with me~~
At there we bought quite many things to eat.Sausage, Jap mochi, yogurt ice-cream and Meiji ice-cream. Till the night , we already tired of walking and sat at the visitor stage. Since there was nothing to do,I went to buy 4 cups of Asahi beer.Each person 1 cup..haha...So jialat, I already bought them the first beer in Singapore..hehe^^ But it was fun, we kanpai and taking photo together. After finish the beer,got feel a bit high high le, then we went down to the Bon Odori and dance with crowd.. That was the most fun part.Although we not very sure how to dance,we just the people on the stage,but nobody care,because it was just for having fun with the crowd..haha...

After the dance,it means the festival had end..But I really don't wish to leave that time,because I really felt like I was in Japan.Really love that atmosphere.Next time I must go to Japan and feel the real natsu matsuri. But I will attend whenever there is a Japanese event in Singapore. So,また来年、夏まつり！！！
