got my hair cut

hi, all my dear friends, i have got my hair cut.. hehe

let's take a look at BEFORE

and then AFTER

how's it? leave comments please.

neverless, share u some my experience. i spent 1000yen on it, about RM30. went into the shop, used 'ji dong fan mai ji' to buy a ticket, and waited for my turn. 10 minutes each, but actually i think they use more than tht.

wat most different from saloon in malaysia is after cutting, they use vacuum to vacuum ur hair instead of using hair dryer to blow away your hair.

finally, i think the one WHICH is happiest is my ear, coz it can see the sun again, haha..

o-matsuriお祭り

last weekend was the omatsuri of the town i live in.

Matsuri (祭り, Matsuri) is the Japanese word for a festival or holidays. There are not specific matsuri days for all of Japan; dates vary from area to area, and even within a specific area. Almost every locale has at least one matsuri in late summer or early autumn, usually related to the rice harvest.

in my opinion, matsuri is in certain ways, quite similar to the '九皇爷' in malaysia. but for '九皇爷', they walk for longer distance and do not rest until they finish walking.

go go go!

i can only say it's tiring

hehe..

a loo, shy qin, roy, me n jack

big drum

take a rest

cop! coca cola..

introduction: how to drink a coke

ice-cream

my dormitory-mates, the right back person is our 'papa-san', a kind man

with those uncles

really looks like '九皇爷', doesn't it?

at night

after the omatsuri, everyone's shoulder has become such a sensitive place, because, u can imagine how painful it is if u HIT it! haha

but it's really a nice experience

design festa

last sunday, i went to a designing ehibition, named Design Festa, let me introduce it first:

Design Festa is a freestyle International Art Event open to all artists, both professional and non-professional from all over the world to exhibit their creative talent. Design Festa is the biggest art event in Asia, with approximately 51,000 visitors and 6,000 exhibitors. Design Festa started in 1994 and as of May 2007 we've successfully completed 25 events as well as 3 sub-events. This art event is held twice a year at Tokyo Big Sight, the biggest event hall in Japan. from www.designfesta.com

ok, now let me say about the avenue, Tokyo Big Sight.

Tokyo Big Sight is the popular nickname for the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, a Japanese convention center. Located in Odaiba( the place i went last time ), the center is one of the largest convention venues within the city, and its most iconic representation the visually-distinctive Conference Tower.

the only photo with me, haha. see the top one, there is a man taking photo, it was him who took this for me, haha

see, u can find malaysia's flag here

this is the ticket. 1000yen

i knew this exhibition from the postel in my school, then i decided i muz go. it's a good opportunity for me to see the creative n new things. i went there alone, and since my japanese is not very fluent yet, i saved the map into my psp before i set off, to make sure tht i won get lost. well, i can say tht the workers in the train station are sometimes not very friendly, but we cant blame them, because everyone is rushing but we are spending their time to make them understand our japanese, haha. i spent about rm60 for tht day, half for the ticket, another for the transport. but i have never regretted for going there. perharps 1 day i may have a stall there too.
