'Natsu Festival'Had an eye-opening experience yesterday. Went to the summer festival at the Japanese primary sch. This festival was held annually at this time of the year.Arrive at the venue at 3.45pm(so early), rent myself a yukata. Wearing yukata was not as fun as it seem. The clothing was big n long ( until it drags as u walk), I even tot I got the wrong size! The tying part was difficult. It comprises of 3 strings - 2 Internal and 1 slash. The strings were tied so tightly( yes! i mean TIGHTLY) at the waist area until I could hardly breathe. Walking around with Yukata wasn't easy as well. U got to take very small steps at a time, which clearly reminds me of how those ancient china princess wif 3 inch feet walk...Did a little exploring round the primary sch. Everything was as u had seen in a typical Japanese Drama. Sliding classroom doors, oak coloured wooden walls, clean transparent window and shoe rack outside every classroom.I was rather amazed by the neatness and space of the sch. A couple of kawaii things like toilets, hand washing area, playground, tables and chairs. They were so small until my fren n I tot we were in some dwarf country! =)Proceed on to the parade, which was held at the track field of the school. Their field was as big as those we had in JC!! And it's juz for primary schoolers!! Forgot to mention that they actually had their own personal swimming pool in the school compound, which would definitely not fit into the 'small' category. The parade was buzzling wif so many ppl, tat u got to squeeze thru not without muttering 'sumimasen' all the way. We went to fill our stomach before proceeding on to some famous games such as scoop a goldfish and yoyo. Near the ending, everyone in the parade joined in and danced to the traditional Japanese Folk Dance. The scene was an unforgettable one. Holding to our goldfishes and yoyo, we were not able to join the dance. =( But at least we did the dance last sat in the Japanese Association. The Japanese were very organized and systematic. U see queues almost everywhere. A disorganized bulk was seldom spotted and I can guaranteed up to 99% tat those bulk were made up of Singaporeans!!! Some queues were so long until u could not see the stall from the back. Some helpers would stand behind these queues holding tags, informing ppl which stalls these queues were for. I tot tat was rather considerate. However, I still cannot 'ta han' long queues. We were complaining all the way. On the contrary, the Japanese around us were waiting patiently for their turn. Really admired them for their patience! =) In the middle of the parade, there was a pop dance performance by my brother's sch. They danced to Teppan (by NEWS), some Kinki Kids songs, last but not least Sakura Sake by Arashi!!!!! Got me all HIGH!! Arashi RULZ! =pWat I regretted was the absence of fireworks. As you noe our governmet's rather strict on this issue. It's really a waste.Looking forward to the summer festival next year! @_@
