Crazy week

It has been such an erratic week I've fallen sick again.. Maybe it's also because I shared dessert with him who's recovering from a cough when we met up with his group and told them about us. They were all shocked wahahaha. We watched ju-on and it wasn't scary for me, his reactions on the other hand were more entertaining than the movie XD

Started feeling sick on Friday so I went down to the event rather late on Saturday, actually just to see him cosplay a main character (for once not a masked guy or old man) then left after dinner to attend a friend's CO concert. I was dying of exhaustion already. 

Mum kept scolding me for packing my schedule so tightly but no choice... The quartet always has very little time to prac for the gigs. I agreed to go for the sound check from 12-1pm on Sunday despite it being the event day, thinking that I'll have time to prep in the morning and after the sound check. To my horror they squeezed in a practice session at 9am. I was dying from the onset of a cold but forced myself to get out of bed at 8am and do my base +eye make up... 

Was super sway and felt my period come while I was walking to the car to go school omg..... Had to sit sideways during the ride cos my pants were of all colours, white OTL went straight to toilet when I reached and sent an SOS to my cosplay partner to bring more pads and a pair of shorts for me. 

My make up for Sunday was alright but I had so little energy T__T didn't get the feel for the character, which was pointed out by 2 people... I will work harder and do better for the shoot and next event!!!! Rawrrrrr. 

Sunday was still fun XD he went back to cosing side characters. The Sunday character suits him a lot hahaha this ex-gangster cyclist who has a trademark scowl. I'll never be able to pull characters like these off. It makes me miss him much more when we're at the same place but not interacting with each other. I was just trying not to stick to him during dinner so he can talk and play around with his crazy group of friends. He mentioned before that he wants me to cling to him when we are with his group but.... Don't want leh.. I might have overdone it because I just stuck with the girls throughout the long walk back to the mrt even though he came by a few times hahaha

Monday morning I had to go school early for the performance at 10am and 3pm. The 10am freshies were much more enthusiastic than the afternoon batch haha. I was next to lifeless by 2pm and so the 3pm performance was quite bad actually oops, in addition to the quiet crowd. 

Looking forward to meeting the yyyys this week!! Janice!!!! I mish you!!

Hello guys

Bleh bleh bleh the cloth is so pretty but so much work T____T Hands down the toughest character I've taken on I believe. 

Started with the most easy part-- her side pouch. 1st attempt was nerve wrecking because I sewed the bias tape wrongly on one side and only realised when I got to the bottom. The sides were nice and straight but CMI even by my standards. I made another one the next day.

 

Had my eyes on the gelpresso liners by Clio for a long while, but the full size stick is too costly. Saw the 5 mini sticks pack selling for $25..... contemplated for 2 days... Then I bought them XD The limited edition pack has shinier and brighter colours and I'm soooo tempted but nope. -breathe in- self control -breathe out-. 

When it comes to daiso eyelashes though........... I am not as strong because they're cheap, and I need non-criss cross lashes for male coses anyway. Daiso has been stocking up on some really pretty lashes which I think will look really natural and are comfy as well. It's too bad I prefer dramatic lashes to natural looking ones since I only wear them for cosplay. Please let me try my stash of eyelashes on you don't be shy. I have roughly an A4 size tote bag full of them.

My nails last week, already removed in preparation for next sunday though

Another busy week

Had a mini grad shoot, went for a friend's business talk, went friend's house to get costume, arranged a song for the racial harmony performance tomorrow OAO, saxophone prac 2 days in a row, went for a surprise birthday party, tuition. 

Long story short, we were supposed to remind our prof to attend the ceremony but the lab senior we informed maybe forgot to pass the message down? Still our fault anyways and we felt super guilty when prof wasn't present during the ceremony. He also mentioned beforehand that he wants a photo of us. Since all the photos we took during the ceremony were cramped with lots of undesired background, we met up on tuesday to take a proper photo and print it out. 

The sun was so hot that day I was squinting in more than half the shots, even in the selfie haha our throwing cap shots were rubbish LOL very funny rubbish but how do people take those shots while still looking decent? We were all over the place chasing our caps. 

Wednesday I went to K's house. I thought she wanted help with her report but she had already submitted it on monday! So I was just there to collect my costume and play play hahaha

My lunch. It tasted not bad and looked so pretty in the red bowl, I couldn't resist taking a photo.

Guys guys this is my wish come true. I've been wanting to cos a baseball series since I started cosplaying because I love Ookiku Furikabutte. Squealed non stop while trying on the jersey. Trimmed K's wig + my own. I can't wait to cos him!! Aug 3rd EOY here I come! Speaking of events, the second half of the year is choke full of events. I'm busy every single weekend OTL Just accepted another cos for september. I don't even know if I can finish her stuff in time..

Tried my hand at arranging a song for the first time. I had a little problem with the software but it was quite easy to use actually, just that I wrote the diff instrument parts separately and had to cross refer non stop , on top of the transposition confusion OTL It was even more stressful because I had so little time. The final scores turned out not as bad as I imagined hahaha feels good to hear the quartet play my arrangement. Performing at a primary school assembly on monday! I'm hopeful it'll be better than the pjc performance :D

Met up with him after prac on friday and had lunch + walk around clementi mall and west mall before meeting up with the rest for the birthday surprise. While at clementi, bumped into a band mate oops. Dunno leh, there's nothing to hide but at the same time we're hesitant about telling people. He said he wants to tell his group, but I wanted to talk to him properly about this whole thing before telling more ppl, so that was that. -_- but whenever we meet up we're just like floating around in happiness or sth and always never talk about serious stuff. This week I'll definitely talk to him about it.

So when we met up with our group-- people I'm more comfortable with, we walked off to get some snacks and again he said that it's okay if they see us holding hands. I was like 'okay'. But I chickened out when walking back -bish bish myself- I was too shy, and it just felt strange to let people know in this manner. Aiya I shouldn't think so much

Graduation and a really busy week

I've graduated!! The ceremony was more entertaining than I thought, wearing the gown was warmer than I imagined and it was so crowded OTL I could sense that my mum was delighted and proud hahaha my dad looks blur as usual and he didn't say much but I still love you papa. 

LOVELY FLOWERS from my parents and my band friends. It's the first time I receive such a huge bouquet of flowers, and also the NUS science bear bear which is so adorable I hug him every morning. My friends must have spent so much on these T ^T thank you so much I will treasure them all. Hoping to dry the flowers and keep them in the bouquet but I have no idea how??????? 

I thought I had a proper closure with someone but a well meaning friend told me that he hasn't given up... Seeing him look so nervous and happy to congratulate me on graduation day..... I feel really terrible. I just wish there's a painless way for him to move on.

The sax performance at pjc was okay only blehhhh I was extra stressed cos there was a brass quintet performing after us and they were sitting in during our performance. Aiya..... I kept thinking I was the noobiest player (which is true, just that it bothered me alot more since other good players were watching) and felt so so so self conscious. As a result, I missed more notes than I would have. And my low notes were flat flat flat omg.... I promise the next school gig will be better. T_T

Went out with lab mates yesterday to hunt for a birthday present and I ended up getting this pair of fake diamond earrings HAHA I wore my mum's pair of real diamond earrings for a bit after forcing my ear holes open and she got quite naggy after spotting them carelessly left on my table OTL so I got my own pair. They're cheap.... given how shiny and pretty the crystals are. And comfortable to sleep in so I'll keep them on all the time (Y)

The first time I'm posting photos of us up on the blog.. I've half a mind to make this blog private.. but we'll see how. 

Our selfies so far! Everytime I see these photos I start laughing XDXD especially the middle one because it's really lao ah pek

I'm graduating today! 

Been so tired lately but I can't fall asleep when I'm in bed :( usually I drop off within 10 minutes but since last week I've been just tossing and turning and sleeping so lightly at night. I might be too excited over recent events XD Relatives came last thursday and I was the tour guide,  went shopping everyday, visited gardens by the bay and it's lovely as usual. 

Of course the highlight was Cosfest last weekend and I had so much fun!!!! Though it's the first time I attend cosfest without cosing.... Abit sad :( Helped the dw team on saturday and slept over at the chalet (slept badly), helped M&M with moving props for the competition and stayed for the bbq at night though the original plan was to return home to have dinner with relatives. Both days he cosed ah pek characters LOL it's super funny to see the photos and selfies. I had dinner with him yesterday and we walked many rounds inside west gate, jem and Jcube. So happy XD

I also got roped into playing for a sax gig this friday during pjc assembly. After a year of not touching the saxophone. I started practicing on tuesday night and oh man I kept lou-ing feng towards the end. Yesterday was better and today I didn't lou feng at all. The actual performance tmr will be good I hope!!!!!!! Only one per part so I got to play well!! Quite stressed though. 

Guys I have let us down, I let him hold my hand during cosfest even though he didn't ask face to face for me to be his gf. It's like 都这样了还要他问就 abit forced lah.

No photos here (all on fb) cos I'm super tired and am going to take a nap now

Kitty cafe

I went to a cat cafe kyaaaaaaaa~~

Guys the cats at this cafe are really sweet. While at the entrance, I peeped in and saw this unbelievably marshmallowish kitty sitting under a table by the window and it was love at first sight. I chose to sit at that same table without hesitation even though the kitty had left by then.

My friend and I then proceeded to squeal over the cats and spam photos. Cats are cats lah, they don't quite like to be stroked. The complete opposite of zaizai and almost every dog I've encountered. It was a fun struggle to get the cat's attention and keep her from moving away. I was literally making the strangest and most embarrassing sounds trying to catch their attention and draw them closer. Scratching the floor works, meowing back at them doesn't hahaha

One of my favourite photo.. Playing with this kitty and all was well then all of a sudden she extended her claws and bit me. The claws were painful so I went ouch! And my friend captured that magical moment hahaha -gives award-

Later as we were having lunch, marshmallow kitty came back to the table!! Hehe I was right to choose to sit there!!! Marshmallow sniffing at katsura

She even went back to the same spot where I first saw and fell in love with her. My friend snapped a photo

                                               

HAHA marshmallow looks incredulous here

Met up with the YYYYs on wednesday night, grats to Fei for starting work!! My turn soon I hope hehe janice should already be back for our next meeting! 

updates

I'm so broke!!! I need to earn some money!!

I knew something like this was going to happen when my friend said "Hey let's go to Faceshop!" It was only $2.90 -cries- it's so cute! Guys let's meet up on a nice day and do make up + nails for each other. I have a lot of fake lashes and nail polish

From funan anime matsuri.. First day was quite bad for me because I was hoping so hard to get a selfie with Hana and Baozi-- because it's Aoba and Koujaku!! I didn't even get to go within 1 meter of them even after camping outside the meido cafe they were eating at lolol. Second day was much better cos I saw more cosplays I was interested in, but I had to leave early to celebrate fathers day at my grandparents' house.

            

I also realised that I won't be able to go all out during cosfest in July because my relatives are visiting... They were supposed to come last week but kept delaying until the dates right smack clashes with cosfest. It's no one's fault..... But I'm still angry. Come on....................... My mum got so rudely adamant that I bring them around. I was so irritated with her attitude. Now that things have come to this, of course I will bring them around and take care of them hello am I that disrespectful or blindly engrossed in cosplay? At the same time can't she understand that cosfest is a major event in the cos scene and can't she try understanding my disappointment?????? I had planned to stay over at a chalet and even paid for it ages ago, my plans are being disrupted now okay..... 

I guess it's a good thing I didn't have plans with any teams during cosfest (too busy during FYP to join teams), I was feeling oddly unsettled before but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise :/ Actually I can see things working out.. I'll bring my relatives around during weekdays no problem, shop at orchard on saturday and my mum can take over after she ends work in the afternoon. Then I'll go down to the event see see look look and sleep over for one night and go home on sunday afternoon.

I'm not so upset about not being able to cos for the event, but if I don't get to see and hang out with my cosfriends that weekend I'll feel terrible hehehe it's like being left out from the party. Not to mention, there is news that this will be the last cosfest before some major changes take place.
