Late Post: Jakarta Lantern Festival 2014

Hello guys it is already the end of 2014!!!
OMG the last time i wrote is on August right? sorry for my lacks in updating the blog T^T

So after all the killing thesis things, i graduated in the end of August and now i am working. It's a new challenge for me to keep balance between my working life, social life, and my net life. But i think i manage it somehow (even tho i became a bit anti-social recently).

Anyway~ i barely have time for me and myself so last Sunday i decided to go Jakarta Lantern Festival 2014 alone. For my friends who (maybe) thought "Why Amei just went in her own and did not invite me?". Sorry guys i just.....need time for myself (even tho i was not alone in the end).

many people came~~ so crowded


Jakarta Lantern Festival 2014 was held in Taman Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta. It was my first time went there and i was all alone so i kinda worried if i would get lost. But but Thanks God i arrived there safely. I arrived there around 5 pm it was an hour left before the sunset.

When i arrived there it was still bright enough to turn the light on. Here are some pictures of the lantern at day time.

here was my fav place in the festival you will see how beautiful it was at night


Miniature of Jakarta's symbol : Monumen Nasional (National Monument) a. k. a MONAS

There were 12 Chinese Zodiac Lantern, and here is my Chinese Zodiac : Monkey
There was not Cat Zodiac after all T^T (If you are Furuba's fans you know what i am talking about)

a Greaaaaat Dragon!!
Could you grant my wish?

Bunny bunny~~
Kinda reminded me of Panda T^T

Trying to take a picture with dramatic angle but... well i am just an amateur lol
And because i was completely alone, all i could do was taking selfie with some lanterns! AHAHAHAHA guys it was surely a hard thing to do especially when you have kids as your rivals who also want to take a picture with the lanterns.

Pika Pika Pika Pikachuuuuu~~
i think Pikachu was in a strict diet T^T
The Minnions!
I will take a part in their new movie in Summer 2015 stay tune lol. Just kidding

a selfie with Shinchaaaan!! woow it was very hard to get this picture
After a long wait, finally It was time for sunset and it started getting dark. The atmosphere changed very slowly until it was dark enough for the lanterns to shine brightly

It was getting dark and more people came
another selfie lol, kinda proud cause i could take this picture on my own


So it was getting dark and then i bumped into my friend, Yaya and her boyfriend, Aditya. And i follow them around like i was a stray cat lol. I did got lost twice there and fortunately i can still found (or be found by) them. Ahahahah the lanterns were very beautiful indeed.

feels like it was in another world
