Bon Odori 2009

It's my first time attending Bon Odori in Penang for any reason other than watching fireworks. I don't attend it mainly because I hate crowds. But this year, I wante to hang out with the ComicFiesta Forum group so I decided to go for the whole thing.

I had to send my friend there too. Some of you remember Khai Chun, right? RIGHT!? Anyway, he followed me home from work and then just went along with me.

Since we arrived early, we didn't have to endure the traffic jams. The stalls had just finished setting up and are already open for business. Me and KC went around viewing stalls, banging into people, stepping on people's feet, bumping into old friends, punching someone's face, starting a street fight etc etc. Whichever you think really happened is up to you.

We soon met up with Hime-sama and although we agreed to move around as a group, we got seperated 15 minutes later. Dumb twits. :P I ran into LITTLE Miss Ethie a few times too. She managed to ambush me once (I hate it when people sneak up to tickle me), and I managed to take a photo behind her once. I wanted to sneak up to her and smack her, but sigh... damn principles.

More stalls after that.

I finally ran into Kazuki at 9pm. And following him, I managed to meet up with Migryl and the other KDU bunch. Now, we were a group. Me and Sam were blabbing non-stop about .hack at first but then the DoTA topic popped up and KC took over the entire conversation. As for me, I changed my conversation partner to Migryl and Tsukino. And because of that, I remembered the GACC thing... DAMN!!

And then Ethie came to talk to us for a while. Unfortunately, she didn't plan on staying so she ran off leaving this orange balloon with me. It was moments later before I realised, "Why am I still holding this!?" And then we left to watch the performance on the stage.

We soon found Archer aka. Gim and he joined our party. We went around to see stalls for a while and then we went to the stage. Halfway through the show, Sam, Archer and I went away to spend the remainder of our coupons. We lost Archer, but we found Black Cat (my cousin). Hmmm... fair trade I guess. Don't kill me, Archer. It was Sam's idea!!

And then it was soon fireworks time. Boom! Bam ! Bang! The end. And we went to the memorial by the sea to take a group shot. Ethie was busy and my idiot cousin got hungry and ran off, so in the end, the group shot consisted of me, KC, Migryl, Tsukino, Kazuki, his girlfriend (I forgot to ask her name!), Archer and Sam.

And then we parted ways because my mom was waiting. Tch! Why so early!? Oh well, I might have more chances. Hopefully...

And then, JJJJJJAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
