Bon Odori Ipoh 2010 盆踊り~

はい。前週の土曜日は 盆踊りでした。友達と Meru Valleyへ 行きました!
Yes, last week Saturday was Bon-Odori! Together with my friend, we went to Meru Valley. After absent for 6 years, Bon Odori Ipoh 2010 finally came back! However, the venue was too secluded! It took me about 1 hour to reach there!

Anyway, with 3 of my friends, we had high expectations for the festival. Yet, to our dismay, what we saw was over-commercialised event! Reasons:
  1. There were no decoration at all. No even a lantern! Couldn't even spot a Japanese hiragana! There were 3 huge white tents with a lot of people inside. No Balloons too~~~
  2. There were not enough Japanese. You tell me! Is Yong taufu? Cendol? Kuey Teow? Are those the famous Japanese cuisine?!!!!!
  3. The venue was too small. Initially, the printed posted stated that it was held at the tennis court! Yet, when we reached there, the tennis court was empty! We were forced to squeeze inside the crowd!
Further comments? I am too lazy to do that! I am also lazy to edit those photos~ Nothing nice to capture! Anyway, still show you all some photos!~~ Ooo, before that, I heard some rumours about the event. Insider story here: According to someone who wants to remain anonymous:

"The event was organised by Perak Japanese Friendship Society. However, it was Meru Valley Resort who organised all the settings and foods. IE, the stage was supposed to be higher and bigger. At the end, it was truly small. There was hardly any Japanese cuisine in sight, only local food provided by Meru Valley. "
This was what insider said! However, I think that both parties were responsible for the downfall of Bon Odori Ipoh. As the main organiser, Japanese Friendship Society had to be very strict and firm with the standard instead of pointing fingers to Meru Valley. 

Photos time:

Yup, sad, right!? A mega event with so less to capture!~~~

Seeing Little Flying Elephants 小飞象 @ Serdang (Updated - Taken over by Twin Sisters)(><)

Not that I don't want to update, but, working really absorbs all the energy and power out of your body! Yes, not that I have a lot to do, but, boredom can cause me to feel very tired and sleepy. Anyhow, today, I finally had to say goodbye to my chatmate in my company. Yes, one of my best way to pass time is to chat! Today, that uncle finally retired! It really touches me because he had worked in the company for more than 30 years! Yes, how many 30 years we have?!!!! I am also very impressed by his dedication because I am sure that I won't last that long, maybe not more than 3 months...hahaah! Today is the day he had his new found freedom! All the best Uncle Lee, may you have another great Journey waiting ahead for you!(^^) As for me, the boredom keeps on increasing! However, just in a flash, I have one more month left before finishing my internship! Actually, I have learned a lot from technical, management and a lot of people skills~~In the future, I would opt for a more challenging job! Anyway, off with my boring internship story!

Let's go to Serdang instead! In this post, I am gonna show you where did I see the little flying elephant in Serdang!

Yes, this little flying elephant is located in Bukit Serdang area!~~~There is a pair of cute baby blue and pink elephants greeting at the front door!~~^^

Well, the food was quite okay! My favourite dish would be the mee with egg topping! It was in large portion and not too oily! As for the chicken chop, still okay for me!~~~

Then, the drinks were actually not that okay! I was really disappointed with the blue pearl drink! It was totally not special at all~~~Doesn't match up with its price! However, there was something really worthy of the meal! Guess what?! The clue is up there, can you spot it?!~~~~ Hints: The bill~~~will reveal the answer after some time(^^)~~~~
