Busy May and June

Been quite busy since the start of June, I only posted the previous entry today.

Thought I should mention that the bf's birthday was on the week of the wedding and I gave him a pair of PC glasses which he planned to get. He seems really busy at work but that's definitely better than nuaing at his previous work place and not getting paid on time XD We wanted to eat xlb buffet and I didn't think to book cos it was a tuesday night and I didn't expect it to be crowded. Alas it was full by the time we went..... we happened to see hoshino coffee so dined there instead.

Mum was also not in SG during the last week of May (I didnt follow her to msia cos of the wedding) and I mostly dabaoed back but cooked maggie mee with egg and cheese one of the days. It looks better than it tastes :( I need to cook more.

Period cube got released in english shortly after I completed norn 9 and the bf bought me a copy. It's okay... but pales so much compared to norn9...... the art and music are not bad but plot wise...... sigh. I finished 2 characters so far, not much motivation to move on to the other guys

As May was a busy month, I pushed all my appointments to June and these are some of the food i've had. Met with my lab mates and we initially wanted Fisn & co but the queue was crazy even at 730. We took a risk and went to this cafe below the HDB, from a search online. Luckily it was open and the mains were not bad! The blue velvet waffle was especially yummy... so smooth yet chewy and fragrant. Also, I finally tried Let's Meat Up at PS and it was good! Will go back again. 

Relatives from msia also visited and I took 1 day leave to clean up the house on the day they arrived. Did so much shopping those few days, and switched on the aircons in the house. I couldn't sleep well though, it was too cold. 

Had some quarrels with the bf recently over the game and some misunderstandings but he is much better than before at saying sorry. Sometimes I think I also nitpick too much but honestly I dont pick a fight over nothing... If I feel so upset, it is always in reaction to something he did and I will assess how serious it is before flaring or bringing it up. One good thing is that he doesn't carry forward unhappiness to the next day (but I do) so it makes it easier for me to move on.

CONGRATS YUFEI AND CK

This is a super duper late post, had it saved as draft for such a long time.. I wish the blogger app was more stable then I'll be able to type the post together with uploading the photos without the app crashing..

Oh yea an update on the gudetama foot mask, it's very cute but not any better than the one I bought at sasa XD will not repurchase for my own use, but quite cute as a gift.

Because this post is so late, I have to squeeze in the part for the prep too haha we came up with the backbone for the games all in 1 night using google doc then just improved from there during our one and only meet up at HY's house. The best part of the meet up was drawing this board ahaha (though the crown dropped off on the actual day cos the board kept dropping and the hot glue couldn't hold the crown's weight after the repeated impact. Was quite tired during the prep meeting but we managed to get most of the game items yea!

Wedding day itself! I woke up at 4ish and did my usual make up and went downstairs to wait for the cab which was pre booked. Imagine my horror when I saw that the cab was at changi airport when it was 5 mins away from the booking time. The uncle was also quite apologetic and luckily the rest of the YYYs all stay in the west, if not definitely late le.. It was also yz's birthday happy birthday again yz!!!!

Anyways the time waiting for the groom and his bros to arrive just zoomed by. They were quite cheeky to send a representative up from the lift where we were all waiting while the rest came up from another lift and tried to get in. !!!! so bad.. The games went okay, we video called YF during most of the games. The guys perspired like crazy, I actually felt bad. We had a short AAR and know what to change for the next wedding le HAHA

After the games, YQ and I followed the couple to the CK's place for the tea ceremony where we drove past my house area and to my surprise, he stays at the same condo I had 2 of my love live dance videos shoots at! hahaha what a coincidence. Then we went back to YF's house for tea ceremony 2nd round before going to the banquet place. Totally knocked out in the car hahaha abit paiseh to the driver Kelvin. I actually brought another dress to change into but decided against it cos the table and chair covers are the same colour and texture LOL what are the chances. The bf met Jackson on the way over and came together, less awkward than during the NYGH shoot XD

YF looked so beautiful in her wedding gowns, figure very good!!! And her speech almost made me cry, i think the bf also (he cries more than me during movies usually) lolol I'm impressed by the banquet management, the coordination and service is one of the best I've seen. The lunch banquet also ended on time! Amazing, usually will end quite late and drag on but this was just nice, I'm impressed again. It's just too bad we didn't have more photos together, the whole YYY group.

After that, I forced myself to hang out with the bf at vivo until 8+ pm before going home to zzz. 

Bad mood

I've not been a good mood the past week.. Dreading the meeting tomorrow because none of my team mates have been around to work on the assignment given by boss. I have something but it's pathetic.. This only shows how incompetent I am..

Because of the dreadful meeting I've been in a poor mood and wasn't able to enjoy cosfest. Vesak day was spent working on the costume and the bf came over too. I couldn't enjoy the process, just full of dread.

Yesterday was fine, I didn't cos and just followed the bf around helping to take care of the bags and stuff. 

Today I cosed and met the bf earlier to do his make up. Was already damn sian when I woke up because I couldn't get the meeting out of my head. Went all the way to pasir ris. After he changed, he realised that the number on his jersey was wrong. 

This was something which totally could have been avoided. I had offered to cut the numbers to stick on the jersey and being very bad with names, he told me that he wanted to cos the 'angry senpai who has a bone to pick with the protagonist'. My bad for picking up only the angry part and I assumed that it was that particular character with the number 10. Turned out he meant the number 11 character. Which was ironic cos when he was at my house on wednesday, I already pointed out that he has the wig for number 11 but he wanted to cos 'the angry one' which number 10 is known for. The miscom might have already started there and seriously fish this sh1t and next time just tell me the name like WTF. On friday after I told him I'm cutting out 10, he just told me ' i dont know' like wth he couldn't verify. What is with this attitude. I wasn't angry then neither was I that angry when we found out this afternoon, but I was trying to tell him that we could have totally avoided this.

He fishing raised his voice at me and told me to stop talking about it. DAMN ANGRY. Still got to fishing do his make up after that. 

Then yuhsuan told us the good news on whatssap, i'm very happy for you and very touched also :') But back to the actual situation. I told csy that F1 proposed already, not like someone who scolded me and I stormed off. Damn angry serious, like happy and angry at the same time. Then I went to the toilet to look at the whatssap chat and photos and cry for a while. 

I ignored the bf the whole afternoon. When leaving, I totally just tapped in the mrt without looking back because all the guy could say towards the end of the day was along the lines of 'go home' (he was going home for dinner). It's not the first time he does this (talk about going home very happily) and I always feel sian because it sounds like he's just thinking about going home when he's with me. Am I such bad company I really don't care already. Super sad and angry. I'm like crying as I type this post. If you look at the selfie he took with me in costume today, I totally gave a fake smile, like wth you just raised your voice at me 10 mins ago. Now you want to pretend nothing happen and take photo with me. Seriously. 

I know it's probably that damned presentation tomorrow and I will be ok after that. 

Extra day of rest

Natsuhiko is very good looking. I wish his route was as good as his looks hahahaha completed all the routes and i've bought all the extra contents, will slowly enjoy. The extra stories are long and contain the final CG for each guy ^_^ very happy with the game on the whole. I was a the play store at vivo yesterday and saw norn9 on sale for only $38!!! that's like almost $20 cheaper than what I got it for.... Abit heart pain but nvm :D

We received a whole 1L bottle of fruit juice as part of the treats. I was too generous and gave it to the bf lol should have opened it and shared.

A great achievement in game... to get a 6 star double speed amour. The equally good news is that the secondary increments upon leveling up the amour went to speed, 3 times out of the total of 4. This is godly. Unfortunately my team is still not godly haha ////

Cosfest is coming, i'm super chill this time, only cosing 1 out of 2 days. My soccer pants arrived last week and OMG it looked so tiny. Amazingly it fits me just nice. Need to cut out some characters for the jersey and i'm good. Maybe think of something for the shoes too. Hope I wont look too skinny for a male character.

Had a great day out with the bf ytd. At first he made me so furious cos he took the yellow line from paya lebah, and went to the habour front direction. like dude!!!! you are not a foreigner! Cannot stand blurness seriously.

He was lucky we bumped into a friend working as a make up artiste at etude house and I bought the new lip tint at a huge discount. My friend very kindly offered to trim my eyebrow and while she was at it, gave me a make over too. In a super good mood after that hahaha. Bought a choker and a pair of spider earrings at $2.5 each. The choker is too long but I probably can shorten it myself. After that, can just get pendants to customise it! wooo~

Another week flew by

Met up with teh YYYs on good friday for a long K session and we had yoguru featuring yz's $10 in mass yogurt on the right hahaha

 

I reluctantly agreed to be the vice president of the guild to help out with administrative stuff like opening the boss battle and purchasing of boosts when the head forget or isn't awake yet. I thought it would lessen the fun of the game with this additional job but so far still ok, and I kept stressing to my friends that it's purely administrative. Hope no politics come with this.  

Finished masamune's route and it was disappointing.. I find certain endings, even for the other guys, where they escape from the ship without meeting Aion to be rushed and not satisfying. Masamune seemed like the dependable and sensible type and obviously he would have a hidden side.. Unfortunately the contrast just wasn't there and it's not developed enough. Did not make me go kyaa

Ron....... his route was quite special and had a dark choice affection. Sugita's voice was unexpectedly nice, I was expecting to hear Gin san, which I still did, but totally different feels. The happy end still had a tinge of uncertainty. Nanami seemed to fall in love with him very suddenly, over a single sentence he said which touched her. I just feel that they were looking to each other for release and it was a matter of convenience and dependence. I didn't get to see Ron's face much throughout the whole route ahahaha. I chose those 2 screenshots cos of nanami's -_- expression at Ron's statement haha

  

I really love yoogane... second time eating it and it was with the bf this time. The chilli killed me even though I already asked for less spice. My ulcer wasn't helping either T_T the bf said I looked like I was suffering but noooooo I really like it, just that it was so spicy and my ulcer very pain. He perspired like mad while eating and kept reaching for the tissue to wipe his sweat... Guess he will not be agreeing to eat this again T_____________T Im sad

???

My first time trying a foot mask-- it all started with the gudetama foot mask I bought in tw cos it was so cute. When I showed my mum, she exclaimed that her feet was so dry from all the walking and so was mine.. I grabbed these from sasa and they fit well. The smoothness did not last, sadly. Will also take photos of the gudetama one when I use it.

 FML ITsuki................. I cried for both his good and bad ends. Wasn't expecting much from his route cos he always appears at the back and seemed like just another character with an average story. He's a strange guy... flirty yet distant and contradictory. I was so touched at his letter in the good end, and his will to protect the heroine even when he was at death's door, but mostly the letter. The bad end T______T my poor baby was finally serious about something and putting in effort to pursue his happiness. T_T he tried so hard to make the heroine happy right till the end T__T alot of tears shed over him. 

Visited the JR cafe and received the Missha line lip balm! It's a light pink in colour so prob won't be too pigmented. Will look good with concealer on the lips first. 

Also couldn't resist getting this from miniso at $3.90 only. The design for Leo was cuter but only Capricorn's fragrance sat well with me. Small enough to bring about. I shall vary this with my etude house one.

 Welcoming my datiangou hooray! Drew this around 12midnight which is rumoured to have the highest SSR rate. It also makes sense mathematically, more ppl draw, higher turnover and SSRs get drawn faster. Anyways I'm very happy with him though I currently do not have good amour to give him and a good summon with average amour is just as bad as an R summon. Shall just stare at him and be happy

Just 10 minutes ago something came over me and I used all my tickets to summon-- the real time one. Was brainlessly releasing tickets and suddenly this came. I was already on a string of SRs and looked down at the vibration and saw the name !!! Forgot to take a screenshot at the moment though haha. Not going to complain that it's a repeat but anyone would have liked a different summon of course XD Will decide whether to feed her or keep her. More practical to feed, but keeping her makes my SSR stash look more impressive hahahahaha

Anyways... the main point of this post is about work.. Some little shit happened which involved the director of another department. I will be meeting the company together with this director and my middle boss to discuss some stuff. I have also been drawing data again and took so long to process cos my excel skills are terrible despite taking the course last year. I still owe my director and big boss some stuff. There isn't much things pending, but i'm owing important people work..

My director asked me to meet him for a short while this afternoon.. I figured it would be about the work I owe him or about the little shit which happened. Surprise! It was about my contract. Even after the meeting, I can't decide 100% if it's good or bad news..  probably good news lah. After considering all factors, the management decided that I'm the next in line to get a perm position. The perm posting that I am considered for is across the whole division and just happens that it is not at my current department. If I am keen, I will be transferred out and prob work for a bit more before they convert me. Ever since my contract got renewed last year, I had planned to look around and get a new job at another place or sth aka I have the choice to apply for what I want and the freedom to leave whenever. Now this takes me by surprise and I don't have a choice (take it or continue my current post with no conversion to perm, no idea when the next chance will come). The choice is clear lah, transferring is the better option. I just feel so unsure of myself and worried because it will be a completely new job scope, and I don't know how the culture is in that small team. I do know most of the people in the team including my potential new immediate boss because I have worked with them 2 years ago when rushing out the nightmare of an event. It's quite a social job and i think (?) need to organize events of various scales and purpose. Not desk bound I suppose

My current bosses are super nice and I have gotten used to the culture and am satisfied with it. A change could mean something similar, better, or worse. So much uncertainty (what even is the job scope LOL). The uncertainty is what's bothering me. If I leave and find myself not liking the new role.. what will I do? I can't turn back anymore once I'm there... Anyways this is just preliminary.. I am not transferring next month or anything. For now will just enjoy my pay rise and be glad that this opportunity has come :)

Thursday

It's been busy at work since I came back, big shit small shit, seems never ending and the week passes so fast i'm exhausted. Just hope to survive this shit, they always clear up, i just need to tough it out.

Some cosmetics I got in tw-- a flower colour changing lip jelly and a sponge tip lip/cheek tint. I've been using this combination everyday since I went back to work. 

The flower jelly is so smooth it almost feels like I'm applying nothing, it also doesn't stain my lips (good thing), unlike the reviews of the real kaijumei flower lipsticks. Tbh the flower in this also not very pretty lah, the testers were all in terrible conditions so I just anyhow took one shade without trying, the shade I took turns a generic pink XD The sponge tip tint is something I will never buy in Singapore cos this kind of applicator feels unhygienic.. always damp and you dab it everywhere? lolol anyways I bought one cos the pen was a holographic pink which looked very nice, I like the p[roduct colour too. Actually I really miss my etude house tint gloss which I just bought also, I'll probably go back to using it XD the pink and shimmer is one of the prettiest i've seen, but wonder how much glitter i'll eat if i use everyday, can be digested i hope.

Continued playing norn9, I can't bear to finish it...... so far only Heishi made me cry but the other routes aren't bad too. Itsuki will be my next guy, I'm finally at him :')

Just more rambling about tw. After much choosing around at a random anime shop, i was going to leave without buying any hxh stuff but the bf offered to get this for me. It's a phone stand and Killua's on the other side XDXD

Long story short, I saw these range of adorable gudetama x holika holika blush in the cosmetic shops in tw but there were no testers. I was searching online for the swatches and the first link was a shop in Q100 selling it for SGD$8.90 ??! I was still determined to spend my twd and buy it in tw, but the price in the official cosmetic shops equivalent of watson and guardian was around SGD$13 I think, so i hunted around in the non official stores (tw has alot of those) but couldn't find any. I stayed strong and only ordered it when I was back in SG. It came 4 days in the mail after payment ^__^

 The colour is sweet and a light dab with the sponge already picks up the colour. Only sad part is the sponge which is torn at one side. Then again, I don't even know if it's a free gift so I'll take it :)

Goodbye my old blush from etude house. The inside is gross so I won't show it here haha.

Last week April 1st was the 3 yr anniversary with the bf and he was very sweet to suggest that we go JB. It's the first time we went jb without attending any cosplay event. So it was purely for fun and shopping. The queue at the customs was shocking cos usually at that timing the hall should be less than half filled. It was only after I got home at night that my mum told me ppl queued for 9 hrs cos it was qing ming. I was like OHHH no wonder. We were considered lucky that it only took us 3 hrs to reach jb,

Anyways the plan was to sing Karaoke and have the karaoke lunch. We reached at noon, rushed to the karaoke place and sadly the slot ends at 2.30pm so I only had 2.5 hrs to sing. Not bad lah, but I sitll didn't manage to sing all the songs I wanted. Amazed at myself hhaha. After that we walked around the shops and wanted to go for an early dinner at tony romas. Maktub the waiter told us the kitchen had some problems and they weren't accepting guests, so we went to nandos instead. The food was soso only :X We didn't get gifts for each other cos the tw trip had just passed and that felt like a celebration already :D
