Post concert

Omigosh a week has zoomed by just like that.. Concert is over!

Thank you to the Ys for coming to support!! And the beautiful roses~~ I will be really sad when they start to droop. My mum told me to put them on my table so I can admire them more but as you know.. I don't allow much sunlight to enter my room so I left them in the living room instead.

                                    

Concert gifts preparation this time was significantly faster, maybe i've become more pro at putting the stuff in and twisting the metal thingy. The plastic bag was so pretty! But too small so I couldn't put more things inside haha

                                     

With my conductor and I look like a mad person here cos I was running here and there before the concert. Prepared a gift for him too :) maybe he will give it to his grandchild XD 

Section photo!! Aaron was blocked though ;_; very big section this semester XD hope they all stay on though!!!

With Daphne my primary school classmate!!! We've known each other since primary one and kinda lost touch after moving on to secondary school and I was so surprised when she tagged me on fb that she was at the concert :D 

Overall the concert had very fresh elements like the awesomely cool perc ensemble and the gimmicks for the encore piece plus the very interesting emcee HAHA previously the concert was under the arts festival and we were under tight control by the management so we were not allowed to make it too informal. I'm glad it was a more interactive concert this time :DDD

Almost a litre of tears

I had a bad dream last night. The band was performing at the esplanade library, where I played piano accompaniment to the sax duet last time. We spent a long time tuning and I was getting worried. Then we started performing one of the pieces we've been practicing and suddenly my only section mate was on the soprano saxophone, leaving me to solo the melody. I couldn't react in time and missed the whole part and it sounded terrible. 

We played like.. 2 songs and the management started chasing us off the stage cos we took too long. I was already close to tears on stage from the anxiety because we practiced so many other songs and only got to perform 2. Then somehow I realised in my dream that this wasn't the real concert and felt a little better. Still, while I was walking to the MRT to go home in the dream, I couldn't stop crying :(((

I've been sleeping rather late and getting low quality, dreamless sleeps for quite a few nights already. Was kinda hoping for a dream haha it came true but alas it was a nightmare..

As if the dream was a premonition, I cried during band practice today.. As you know, I really admire, respect and love my 70+ year old conductor since I joined the band in JC and I continued joining the band in uni partly because of him also being the conductor there. 

He has been feeling unwell since the semester started and today he took some time to explain to the band the reason for his late coming and early leaving, and why he was absent on some days. I got all teary eyed and could totally feel a blocked nose coming. I wouldn't have cried if he didn't elaborate but he did and as I listened to him talk about how he was unsure of whether he could still take us for the coming concert next week and how he went back to teach yesterday to test if he was fit enough for all these despite his doctor scolding him and all, I started crying. He actually had a minor surgery two days ago and he said right to the point before he became unconscious during surgery he was still thinking about the music for the concert. 

I was shaking in my seat trying very very hard not to sob out loud. It was quite bad cos my section mates probably didn't know what to do lol and i'm very sure the conductor could see me. I mean he's standing in front all healthy and fine but there I was crying like something extremely bad happened -__- didn't dare to look at my conductor properly after that haish.. Don't even want to think about how ugly I looked X___X and darn typing all these made me cry again..

It's a tradition that the SLs need to prepare a card for the conductor every concert. Anyways here's the card I painstakingly made for my conductor, made another one for the assistant conductor but it's not as nice and I forgot to take a photo haha.

So pretty right, I like it a lot too. It's really not bad a finished product given how i'm mad lousy at art and drawing. The colours made it look good and I have decent cutting skills :) 

A bit of Akazukin

Hi guys! Post recess week has been okay, I did more revision this week than the last (rushing reports then). But my group work for the search for life module!! Urgh so irritating... And I need to do well for this GEM cos I can't SU it anymore.

Met up with the Ys! I realised JP has a lot of food places, we don't have to go to the ground floor every single time hahaha next round let's go up to the 4th floor and eat at ben 10!

                                   

In case you're wondering why I so white here, I aded a filter and changed the tone of the photo to cool haha!!

 

The random gel we cut up at the end of the practical. Whenever I see a gel, especially one that I made, I have this strong urge to cut into it with a scalpel. And then mash it up together. Roll it violently to bits. Chew it through thoroughly. Burn it with fire. O_O

Leaving Black wolves saga to one side, I started playing Akazukin. When I first developed an interest in japanese otome games at the start of the year, this was the first game I read about, and I was honestly very fascinated by it. I watched the opening sequence a few times and decided that it's one of the games out of my reach because I couldn't understand japanese. Then came DRAMAtical Murder and my recent discovery of all the translating programmes. So yeahhhh! And I don't think I'll be posting anymore on this game so i'll just dump the screenshots here today!

SHO CUTE DESHO!!! I squealed when they appeared. 

Get. away. from. me. That's all I thought when he appeared X____X Yusa kouji always gets the creepy characters.


Kitsune kun was really adorable!! The way he was jumping up and down out of jealousy XD kyahaha!!

So I think i'm quite close to completing Ookami san's good route and it hasn't impressed me much. Too bad.. cos I really like his character design and sprite, my favourite out of the rest.

He bends down to look at you in the eye while talking sometimes, very nice :) 
Ookami has some very sweet moments here and there which honestly resulted in me day dreaming in school, I even caught myself smiling LOL. But the very next day I was extremely thrown off by his terrible behavior which came out of nowhere. Can't be salvaged =/ 没救了

 So since motivation for this game is really low, I'll just be trying one route per guy because at least the voice acting cast is good XD

So I was looking through the photos kyou took and this one suddenly caught my eye! I need to practice my non-smiling expressions. But this one not bad quite cute right! Other than my face being a different colour from my hands X_X next time i'll try baby powder on my arms.. wonder if it will work.

Recess week

I finished one and 1/3 of my 2 reports, revised and watched macross frontier. Got myself two more otome games (more power to my backlog of games!) My slackest recess week ever =X

Won a giveaway on tumblr for Heileen 2 :D but I haven't heard from the wonderful owner after the first contact, so i'll post more after that whee~

Tuition has stopped and there goes my source of income... not good when I will be spending quite a bit for the rest of this year.... I've decided to go for Perfume's concert, because I will definitely regret if I don't :) 

Because of this, I've decided to not go for any of the AFA anisong concerts, giving up TM Revolution, Flow and Minami Kuribayashi........... Don't care much for the rest hahaha. If Kotoko came for AFA though, that would be a really tough choice. I might just choose Kotoko over Perfume XD 

Speaking of concerts.... NUSWS is having a concert on the 17th of October wednesday 7.30pm at Singapore Conference hall! It's a south and north america theme, which I don't quite get but the songs are really catchy this time, so guys please come and support :D

So I mentioned I started watching Macross Frontier, jumping on the band wagon rather late but better late than never lah. And I was already listening to macross music in the past, so I wasn't missing out on too much. It all started with the intention to cosplay Ranka Lee, but I got so interested in Alto, the male protagonist. So Alto it is XD he looks so attractive in his school uniform omg someone help me breathe. AND NAKAMURA'S VOICE ^//////^ It's a distant plan, but I hope i'll look really handsome hahaha!

Picture time! Not many new pictures so I'm just digging out older unposted ones.

This is a super old screen cap, but I was dating pigeons. Oh Ryouta~~ runs to his wings.

Nice membrane stain 

A cute spider I drew for tumblr stuff

NUSCAS cosplay photoshoot

So thankful for my free day! T___T long post coming up with lots of pictures!

And so NUSCAS first photoshoot was held last saturday at Utown and it was a very last minute plan but I went as Shizuo gender bend version along with a very pretty Izaya-- Terenz whom I've only met twice (once to borrow the vest on friday) but was soooooo enthusiastic and greeted me with a hug XD Kyou also came to take photographs. 

Our photographer was Nicholas, and let me tell you he was so patient and nice! I was very worried before the shoot that our photographer would be the cool and aloof kind-- scary cos i'm really noob at posing and all that but Nicholas was very easy going and went along with out antics XD and he took such great photos too! 

Learnt so much from this photoshoot, including how to look like a guy because I totally looked like one lolol!! No eyeliner (falsies are ok) and thick eyebrows. Next time I know! :D 

Overall it was neither a good wig nor make up day, but the sun, good photographers and my pretty Izaya saved me! XD

I like this photo.. looking like a very cool waitress

Also I realised I need to kinda tape the wig down to my face next time if it has a tendency to stick out. It made my face look really fat :( The photos here don't show it cos I chose the nicer ones haha

Terenz told me that it's necessary to wax the stray hair so they don't peep out from under the wig. Why didn't I think of that OTL time to use some hair products, for wigs too. It was a pity I didn't get to pick up any wig styling tips from the rest but there's always trial and error hahaha

 We look so cute here! but kyou arh.. ppl wearing skirt leh XD

 Warao.... act fierce buay fierce

We took the inner bin out of utown dustbin and it was light enough for me to lift. This 'in pain' expression was natural okies d^_^b This Shizuo cosplay allowed me to try many other expressions compared to the usual photos where I only smile haha

He actually said it was comfy to lie on the ground hahaha

One of our first shots which turned out very nicely :D we had to trample on the plants to get up there and left 4 unsightly dents LOL

Yay!!! More photos on fb

aaaaannnddd....Onward to lab reports T ^T

Because I have no time

This shall be a picture post 

 Met up with YYYY (only one lah)

 Life's like that, we don't get to see Joshua in sunglasses.

Shalnark is looking at me and blushing madly after I kissed him on the cheek

and some camwhore.. This is such a disjointed post hahaha

It's week 4 already

Why are there so many cosplay events at this time of the year.. always. TGX is this weekend and nope, i'm not going down no matter what X__X sheesh.. need to study 

Past week has been quite happening, in and out of school. Sectionals have started and our tutor is still overseas so i've been taking sectionals, for two weeks and counting. A third week under me and he should be back then ^_^ reminds me of NJ times but of course it's less stressful. We have a bigger section this semester and i'm happy XD

I performed piano accompaniment for a saxophone duet at esplanade library last sunday. Made mistakes where I usually won't.... So regretful... but I'm getting another chance to perform next next week at another event so i'll be sure to do a better job then!! 

On the same sunday, I went for STGCC in the afternoon. It was such a last minute decision because of a double booking of the practice room-- the extra piano-sax prac was cancelled and meeting time was delayed. So I decided to attend STGCC alone. I'm such a loner I know. Didn't have time to dress up as anything so I went back to lolita. wahaha. Was fretting over my lack of eyelash glue so I used my blue contacts instead. IT WAS A GOOD TRIP. I knew Piko was attending the event, but I thought it was some concert at night and that I would never have a chance to see him. Was freaking happy and high when he had a meet the fan event and watched him perform two songs since I arrived in the middle of it. I totally got my entrance fee worth XD

Didn't buy anything.. and took not much photos. But these are my 3 ultimate favourites: 

NOIZ MY BABY!! I think I was the second person to take a photo of her? Asked if there was a team and she said that she was waiting for them. I waited too, was walking round and round, walked to the mrt twice intending to leave but my legs brought me back to the hall again to see if the team has assembled. -__- still.. after a while even Noiz disappeared T__T so I left the venue with a void in my heart.

AOMINE SAMA so good looking, so cool!!! I was too shy to take a photo with him. extremely inappropriate if I tried to zipai with him and I didn't want to just ask a stranger to take a photo of us using my iphone..ASDHKJDLASHJDL won't know how to pose either ^///^ nvm this will remain in my heart as a beautiful memory. The rest of the team stood around, chatting among themselves hahaha why they no pose :(

The first two cosplayers I spotted when walking to the hall. Stalker mode on. Also the reason why I missed Piko's first song hahaha Very very good cosplay! It's what I hope to do with Yz some day too haha they beat us to it. Nahh it's actually still a very distant plan.. Hisoka's hair is so hard to style and pull off.

The last picture was taken using my proper nikon camera and the colour is so ugly... I need to learn how to change the settings or sth....... Someone teach me please. It's so embarrassing esp when other more pro photographers were taking photos too and I was so afraid that they would see the hue of the photo from my camera screen and scoff. Too self conscious I know.. Anyways I just kept my camera and used my phone instead. But it's quite bad to ask a whole team who was slacking around to pose for your iphone -__- as a result I didn't manage to get photos of larger groups, mostly individual or couple shots.
