Updates~

I've fallen ill :( snacked on too many stroopwaffles from Mel and I woke up with a scratchy throat the next day which became sneezing fits... And now I have a leaky nose and a bit of a sore throat :/ 

Had a really busy week and I was out for dinner every single day, by choice of course but it was still so tiring.. Maybe that's why I fell sick :( I've been going to lab every single day including weekends.. Need a lot of preparations each time before I can start on the actual data generating experiments.. So time consuming haish

I watched hunter x hunter: the last mission movie on Wednesday!!! Managed to get the poster after asking the lady nicely if I could have one after the movie. The deal was 2 movie ticket to 1 poster.. Dunno why they were so kiam siap but my group of 5 ppl received 2 posters lol! I had to 'fight it out' among 2 other friends and I couldn't stand doing it the scissors paper stone way so I just went to ask for another XD fortunately the lady gave me a poster so by default that belongs to me ohohoho ^__^

          

I enjoyed the movie tremendously despite the questionable quality at the start and lame defeat of the bosses lolol so much feels whenever the ending song played in the movie ahhhhh.. It kinda reflects the current plot in the anime, with gon being so rash and worrying killua :X

Bought new shoes! 2 pairs for $36 and I love both pairs very much!! 

                          

So so happy~ :))) threw out my old pair wore the black pair today, it hurt my feet but all will be fine with some plasters! 

I also collected my Yang wig today! The previous wig I got was very pretty but too dense for the character and not curly enough. This one is just right, though I would like it to be thicker and less tangled haha oh wells. The ahoge is so cute!!!! Wore it together with the top which I got from auntie yesterday~

                                                

^.^ now I just need to make the skirt and finish up her arm props. And as usual try my best to lose the tan -__-

I might be happier without having to think about these

I've published this entry, reverted it to draft, tried to blog about something lighthearted, and now I'm posting part of the original entry again.

Holes on my arms

Every time I go for a blood test and the blood draw is unsuccessful, I always feel like I've lost a year off my life.. T________T

Doctor managed to find a nice fat vein on my right arm though he commented that it might slide around, making it hard for the syringe to enter. That was exactly what happened omg. I'm not faint when I see blood, though needles started to scare me a little after I pricked myself with one during one of my experiments last year.... I've had a very very bad experience drawing blood a few years ago and since then I've learnt a few more tricks to ensure a higher rate of drawing blood--- drink lots of water before going for it, point your fist down and rapidly clench and unclench the fist to make the veins pop.

Still, I felt my heart sink lower and lower as the doctor poked and poked around under the skin, he did it for a full minute and I was clenching my fist really tightly, and holding my breath as well cos he said to not move LOL. Didn't need to be so tensed, I was just scared I think. My muscles were starting to ache after the prolonged period of fist clenching and even after I got his approval to relax my arm, I could feel my head spinning X_______X I just knew it, that I was going to experience the loss of vision and ringing ears again -cries-

I politely gave indications that he should stop by going 'hmmmm' and 'aiyo..' so he took out the needle and loosened the arm band thingy. Slowly but surely my ears started ringing and vision was hazy. I can't quite remember what exactly happened but I was just sitting there with my head hanging down and trying to shake off the discomfort while he went to fetch another needle. He even patted me on the head LOL!! It didn't strike me as strange then but on hindsight I thought it was a very quirky but affectionate thing to do. Still,  sir I'm 23 years old and graduating in June this year please XD

He knew that I was feeling really bad and kept saying 'sorry, so sorry' as he felt for the vein and inserted the needle. At that point I didn't care anymore OTL I was feeling nauseous and looking for a dustbin in case I couldn't hold back my puke. Fortunately the blood started to flow hahaha I didn't even bother looking and just said 'that's great!' with as much enthusiasm as I could muster but I think it was around the level of a flopping half dead fish.

Again, can't remember what happened but I was really breaking out in cold sweat and so clammy that the plasters refused to stick to my skin. I just took them off but doc gave me a few to keep in my bag. He also asked multiple times if I wanted to lie down.. Tempting but I said no because if I moved from where I was sitting I might vomit lolol I must have sounded really pathetic when I said 'If you don't mind I'll just sit here for a while' at least twice because I was afraid  that I was disturbing him :(

Anyways the nausea passed after a while and I left the clinic and went back to lab.. sigh. Well it was memorable... the doctor patted me on the head :3

Happy Chinese New Year!

        

Me: I'm not sure what to pair my top with

Mum: Where are your short skirts

Me: Uhh I was actually thinking of this knee length skirt -wears it-

Mum: Looks old, what happened to your short black skirt (The one I wore for Felicita)

Mum: You can bring a pair of shorts and change into it afterwards

Me: I'll just wear my black shorts then -_- 

Yea so this year I was really casual with my clothes and didn't even put on contacts. Loaded 3 episodes of Fruits basket at home to watch at my grandparent's house, tried to play my psp games but got too tired and took a long long nap instead hahaha

I said no more cosplay until graduation but 2 groups I'm in are holding photoshoots in February and March................................... Diabolik lovers is fine because I already have the costumes and all but I totally forgot about Yang............ Got really stressed over it yesterday. I'll need to make her hand weapon really soon. And her skirt. Hope the top will fit me well when I get it from auntie
