Everyone enjoyed their homestay with the Japanese family. Each of us was treated like their own sons and daughters by their host family. They provided with everything that we need. Indeed great hospitality by them. Applaud~ we get to try loads of Japanese food and I think each one of us GAIN WEIGHT!!!!! time to exercise SPYs~ *looks at Kai Fen* Oh ya, besides food, we also get to seeee LOTS of CUTE Japanese guys and gals!!!!! *eyes everywhere*


Rezal's, Cecilia's, Violet's experience @ Niigata Prefecture: (quoted by Rezal)
- We did a courtesy call to Vice Gabernor of Niigata prefecture. We get to interact with the Local Youths (LY) and we get to learn how to make sushi and rice balls named Onigiri. I think when I go back S'pore, i'll start making sushi!!! Besides that, we were divided into smaller groups and we were brought to the different interst places of Niigata. =(

YAY!!!! We finally reached Tokyo safely after 7 hours of flight~ *wipes forehead*

Before that, everyone had to report to PYSS for last minute packing and helping e loggies to bring all the cartons of stuffs to the lorry.. what a tiring morning to start with!! but things went so smoothly that we left PYSS by 5am. a very good achievement! hehex.. when we reached airport, things also went as planned.. we got our stuffs and luggages checked in etc all thanks to the precise instructions given by our dear Rezal, Winnie & Venetia. =P

Finally its time for us to checked in and we had the Alumni's who came down to give us their well wishes. Grace (SIS) was sooo sweet by giving everyone of us a photo with sweet words! She has been one of our backbone who help us along the way. Touched can?! =)

Nevertheless, let these few photos says our feelings... Enjoy ppl~

Fun-Filled Madness~

Happy Belated Birthday NIMALES~ (just to officially wish u on e blog! hehz~)



Nimales with his bdae cake.. =p


Thursday was e day where we first had our practice at SOKA.. it was basically getting to know where exactly we should stand etc. Realised that, the stage was really, really elongated instead of wide! how to dance like tat?? but we managed it well (i supposed)..

since there isn't exactly backstage, all our small talks or should i say whisper (did we whisper?), hahaz.. more like laughing and joking merrily.. it can be heard clearly from the front! i didn't know that our sound can travel all e way to e front!! o_O" due to tat, for e next practice we are given 'warning' to keep our mouth shut~ the perfect time to train our mouth to smile widely.. oh wells, just in case any 'paparazzi' were to take any unglam shots, e smile will cover it all.. hehehe *big wide smile*


having fun at backstage.. weeee~

we den played sparklers at Ong Ping Ping's CC all thanks to Tuty who kindly bought it just for kids (US!!) to play and jump around happily and also to Siti for being so kind to bring along kuehs for us to eat!! yumss~


a happy sotong with sparklers... *spreads its tentacles*


FRIDAY was pretty great tooo! Few of us went to KTV to sing their lungs out till 3am~ they still had e energy to do singing after dance practice! energetic bunch of youths... =)


a perfect example!



when craziness starts setting in~

Before that, both charmaine and cikgu had to do photoshoot at pasir ris station. We were basically walking so fast just to ensure that we can get to do a train scene BUT we are just in time to see the board says: "Train service ended!!" *fainted* and e officer already want to close the gates and eventually got her to have it open till we finish our photoshoot.. how nice of her.. =)
courteous singaporean helping one another!!

Saturday was a trip to Cikgu's house which is FULL of CATS~ I really mean it when i say tat! i think i can have heart attack even while sitting.. cikgu's cat will just sneakily walked under the chairs and appear out of no where wriggling its tails at my toes!! omg!! the heart almost popped out~ but nevertheless, his cats are damn cute~


stare what stare?! buey song ah?


us together with Nadira & Nabila.. hmmm *looks at Cikgu cheekily*

Sunday

I guess its time for me to chaoz, but not before ending this post with the most glamorous photo ever! i present to u........................................................
