Bon Odori 2008

This was before we embarked on our journey to Shah Alam for Bon Odori 2008 which is the first time for all but fun. We are Bon Virgins.


Ian: The Intellectual who's wiping his glasses
Zhong Zheng: The vain one indulging in his torrents of metrosexuality.
Chern Yuik: The green monster with a lame streak
Cy Eu: The almost cool one who is partially hidden behind the green monster.


Complimentary fans that were given out to all Bon Odorians a.k.a just another cute marketing gimmick for Aeon.


The lovely babes and I treated ourselves to some overpriced grape flavoured ice sticks on a hot summer night ( Malaysia is a 1 seasoned country). Almost forgot Cy Eu who managed to squeeze for the shot.


Me and the cameralady-Yirui. Very competent with her Nokia N95. Then again I probably would be just as good if I had a phone like that and those endless hours of cam-whoring. Thanks for the pics again Rui! :)

I just got hold of These pictures from Yirui. They were pictures of Bon Odori 2008 that we attended in honor of Soo Fun who's leaving for Aussie real soon..sob sob..we'll miss u Fun..for the first 3 days at least..haha kidding. Yeah so these are some of the pics, if some of them looked real lame or kawaii, please pardon us. We are after all submerged in a sea of Japanese wannabes and we all know that Japan's the mother earth of the world's greatest Posers (think the 1-5 poses and the I'm-pouting-with-a-finger-to-my-non-existent-dimple look).

Well, it was a pretty fun night after all though I gotta say it's not really my thing. I'm just not that into the whole Japanese culture. Then again, it's just me evidently as there was tens of thousands of people who turned up for it. We had to walk for around 20 minutes just to get to our cars from the venue..Talk about the distance we would undertake for a culture shock.

There will be more picturs on this outing of ours and I'll post it as soon as I lay my hands on it. The post is going to be titled...*drumrolls* Bon Odori Part 2! whoa, now that's a lil creativity for you folks.

Till then, see ya.

Cheers,
Ian
