16 July 2011 - Bon Odori with the title of Arigatou Malaysia was held in Shah Alam, Panasonic Sport Stadium. This Event started by 5pm. Then, we went there by 4:30pm. At first, we thought we were late because we scared to park our car very far far away. But, we were lucky because we were the last car to park inside Panasonic car park. (P.S. Panasonic car park is just next to the stadium)

We reached there around 5:30pm. There were not a lot of people. As all Malaysian style are like to be late, Thus, we went smoothly without any jam.

There were a lot of foods available. The food mostly were from Sakae Sushi, Sushi King, Jusco Sushi, Isetan Japanese food from KLCC, Papa Bread from Mid Valley and etc. In fact, food available in Bon Odori was quite expensive.

Dance section available 3 times. We joined the first and second dance sections. Everyone formed big circus and danced together.

I met a lot of friends and other friendly people.

~~ We had a great time together ~~

my new yukata ~~

Are you ready to join Bon Odori next week ?? Yes, I am ready !!

I have blue colour yukata. However, I wish I have chance to wear pink colour yukata. Last few days, I heard my friend said Jusco at Mid Valley will have yukata fair. Then, I tried to visit that place. Thus, I saw this beautiful yukata with cheaper price compared in Japan.

For those who wish to wear yukata to this Bon Odori, you can visit to Jusco at Mid Valley in Ladies department within 4th of July to 16th of July.

My pink yukata with sakura flower ~~ Love it !!

This is traditional type of "Obi" (means belt). The price for yukata is included with the modern type of obi. However, I like tradisional type of obi more. Then, I bought an extra obi to suit this yukata.

The difference between traditional type of obi and modern type of obi is modern type is ready made. However, the traditional type of obi is have to tie it yourself. In fact, the traditional type of obi can tie different types of ribbons.

I love my new yukata ~~~

At night again, we had to leave soon. Bye bye Singapore. I had a really nice trip here.

Night life in Singapore !! - Clarke Quay

What can you do in Singapore especially night time ?? Yes, Clarke Quay is the best place for you to hang around. You can visit there by MRT and stop at Clarke Quay station.

Around Clarke Quay, there are a lot of restaurants, bars or clubs along Singapore River. Furthermore, waterfront recreation is the best place to walk around and enjoy the Singapore night view.

Now-a-day, Clarke Quay's environment are decorated with tradition and modern building. Move over, a large fantastic mall are located next to the Singapore River. Then, this is a good opportunity to shop around there.

Haha .. At the end, I bought a sesame and green tea flavour ice-cream from Hokkaido Ice-Cream. The taste was nice. However, it melted a bit fast.

Universal Studio Singapore

Universal Studio Singapore, I am coming !!! Anyway, many routes you can choose to go there. First, taxi is the most simple route but not so expensive. Secondly, MRT is another options and then stop at Habour Front Stations. At Habour Front stations, there are a lot of free shuttle buses to fetch visitors to Universal Studio.

The entrance ticket prices are SD72 during peak season and SD66 during non-peak season. If Master Card user can get extra 20% discount. In Universal Studio Singapore, this theme park is divided into 7 parts which are Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away, Egypt, The Lost World, Sci-Fi, and New York.

In Madagascar, there are 2 attractions here which are river boat and party-go-around. In fact, the road show in Madagascar is the most interesting show among the others. At the end of the show, you can take photos with those mascots.

At Hollywood, this is a good news for buyers because there are a lot of merchandise shops. Not much attraction around Hollywood. But, do pass by there frequently because a lot of movie stars and mascots will pass by there. Then, you get a chance to take photos with you.

Far Far Away which is located in between Madagascar and The Lost World. Most interesting attraction here is Shrek 4D movie. Furthermore, I watched the same movie before in Universal Studio Japan. In fact, I like this because this time I would understand it which talked in English. Haaha .. Other attraction here are Enchanted Airways (Juniors roller coaster) , Donkey live, and children Ferris wheel. Unfortunately, I didn't have chance to meet with Princess Fiona.

In Egypt, there are 2 attractions here. Revenge of the Mummy is the most interesting attraction in Universal Studio Singapore that you can't miss it. This is indoor roller coaster in the darkness. Indeed, you can't predict how the track look like. Another attraction is treasure hunter which for children drive.

In Sci-Fi city, most of the attraction are roller coasters. If you have heart problem, please do not try it. Scary !!! ~~ Most of the mascot here are interesting.

Most of the attraction in New York are shows. Most important, you need to check the timetable first and arrange your time to save more time to enjoy more shows available here.

5 attractions are available in The Lost World. Most interesting show here is The Water World. In The Water World, there are only 2 shows within a day. Thus, you have to make this show as your priority. I watched this show before in Universal Studio Japan too. This was similar except the language they used.

At the end of the day, I met a lot of mascots here. I like them every much .. LOVE !! I enjoyed very much . The different between Universal Studio Singapore and Japan is temperature. I was sweating a lot in Singapore. I wish I will visit to this place again ~~

Bag pack to Singapore !!

Yeah !! Singapore, finally, we are here !! .. Early morning, we took around 1 hour to fly from Kuala Lumpur (LCCT) airport to Changi Airport, Singapore. This was my first time to fly with AirAsia. Of course, I can't compared AirAsia to other 5-stars airlines. Anyway, I satisfied their service.

Because this was early, we couldn't check in nor shopping around (because all shops were not opened yet). Then, we took MRT all the way to Bugis.

Actually, there was nothing to walk around because all stores were closed because this was too early. Anyway, we did visit some of the temples around Bugis. According to my friend, this is quite famous temple around Bugis.

Then, we "walked" around Singapore. We walked from Bugis to City Hall. In between, we passed by, some interesting buildings and church at Stamford road. Singapore is a beautiful country.

After check in at Balastin Hotel, we traveled to Merina Bay by taxi. The price for taxi actually was not expensive if divided by 4 people. In fact, all taxi drivers are very friendly and helpful. At there, we paid SD20 to visit Merina Bay Sand Skypark. At there, you are able to have a wonderful Singapore view. But unfortunately, the amazing swimming pool on this sky park only hotel guests allow to use.

Double Helix Bridge is next to Merina Bay Sand Hotel. This bridge is very outstanding. At night, there are some lighting along this bridge. This was wonderful.

Last interesting place to visit around Merina bay is Singapore Flyer. Each ride cost SD30 for around 1 hour. This is world largest wheel with the height of 165m from the ground. This is best to visit around evening because you can have a chance to experience Singapore day and night's views.
