*Random*

Went to a lot of places this weekend...
Friday night was a girls' night in (a.k.a. Weekly Bitch-fest). We went for Chinese food and bitched about the boys over dinner...
Saturday was jam-packed. I went into Tokyo to do some shopping (but of course!). I FINALLY bought myself a camera for Japan. I'm now the proud owner of some teeny-tiny 5.0 mega-pixel camera by Canon. I have no idea what the functions are or whether it's a new model... or any of those other techie things that boys care about... all that matters to me is that it's a nice shiny RED colour! It's pretty and I bought a pretty shiny lime carrier for it. Yay!
I also bought a Yukata - a summer kimono. It's a starter kimono... It was really cheap. It's something for me to practice on before I upgrade to the REAL thing. I attempted to tie the Obi today and did a not-so-sucky job at it... but it's difficult!
After shopping in Akihabara (Camera) and Shinjuku (Kimono and Zara!), I met up with Nic in Ikebukuro to go to some Fireflies festival up in the north of Tokyo-ku. It took us about 40 minutes to get up to wherever it was... We took a very expensive cab ride to the place and saw the line-up wrapped 'round the block with workers and their sign-posts saying it was a 200 minute wait. We just told the cabbie to haul-ass back to the station. TWO HUNDRED MINUTES just to see some insect with a glowing green ass??
We headed back Shibuya for dinner at some Hawaiian restaurant (VERY good garlic fries), then headed to John's (Nic's bro) bar for a pint.
Stayed over at Nic's and fell asleep in my kimono - was woken up this morning by Nic laughing at me for sleeping in my kimono.
So yeah... I had a busy weekend... but it was fun. Nic and I are now planning a 'round-the-world trip for our 2 and a half month winter break. Gee... work can be tough some times...~
