HOLIDAY REVIEW~~~

Yeah! finally i successfully cooked something! well, ok, this isn't my first time cooking, but i'm horrible @ it. put me in the kitchen & expect a fire engulfing the pan. that happened 2 days ago. a 1/2m fire got my pan burn. lucky my family came back to see it. got a heck of a lecturing from dad, but as if i listened. ok, so the whole flat (not to mention the block) will be toast if they didn't come on time. but i dun need the lecture 'cos i realized the danger already. dad's lecturing is = to nagging, i must say, so i dun really listen.

but now, i'm left all alone in this house in s'pore. they all went back, & i gota live here for another week b'cos of skool. the sec/pri skool kids won't start skool till the next 2 wks, so my bus uncle (we call our drivers that) won't be fetching jus for the sake of me, the only poly student in the bus (-_-). any kid would be happy being left alone in the house, but i dun really like it much. makes me feel lonely. i dunno. i don't interact much wif my family. but it's just too... silent in this house. not used to it? nah, i'm used to it. i guess it's jus my pms or something (others: pre menstrual stress. me: post menstrual stress). & i dun hav anyone to cook my meals or do my laundry or whatever. well, i guess i gotta learn the hard way, huh? like the survivor series. only this time, it's one wk instead of 30 days. that would be enuf, since it will be my first time staying by myself this long. GAMBARE NE!!!

oh yeah, haven't been updating u. the hols has been tiring, but fun, in a way. the tiring part is that i hav to go out almost everyday 4 the 2 wks, but it was cool. mostly it was mentorship & EMP grp meetings, but there was abit of cosplay outings too. the mentorship/EMP meetings were fun, bcos i have my closest mentorship & EMP mates with me. we stuck together like glue! yeah yeah! we've decided that even though we're split up (me, melvin, lareina & yanti in one grp, ann, justin, jojo & yana in the other), we'll do the stuff together, from performing, & discussing on how to do our layouts. but we'll have to do our presentations differently though). man, we ROX!

there was also my class' BBQ @ Justin's condo @ Casablanca. i came early @ 3 to his place after an EMP meeting & sit infront of the tv with him watching Spongebob Squarepants & World Cup music videos till our other classmates called for us to fetch them down. we got almost all of them together with the food & all & start the BBQ. it rained abit, but it didn't spoil our mood for the BBQ as it stopped. Irsyad was all over the pit incharge of the cooking (he IS our aspiring cook, after all), & i helped out on anything i can. I hate sitting ard doing nothing, i can tell u that. the BBQ was a total success, & it ended till late @ nite (11+pm). & bcos of that, i have to walk all the way home from the MRT station since the bus had stopped its operations by that time. but it was worth it, bcos i get to bring the whole tray of leftover BBQ chicken! YEAH!! FREE FOOD!!


the friends...

the FOOD!!

on weds was the Anbu Naruto photoshoot @ Fort Canning. Me, Spidey, Jes, Gem, Logic & Spidey's new friend Reen a.k.a Blaze came together to celebrate Gem's bdae dat day. Amenthyst & Doglover a.k.a Nanao (after the Nanao cosplay she did) couldn't make it @ the last minute, but that didn't stop us. we bought the food @ Plaza Singapura's Carrefour (we bought ALOT of snacks & sushi), got changed (me & Blaze jus sat @ the girls toilet while the others changed. We were kamekos for them that day) & hiked up Fort Canning. up there we while the 4 was doing their make up & putting their accessories on, Spidey engaged a conference call with Raina. All of us caught up on her doings & exchanged with our current updates. Apparently she got hooked up with a senior @ her skool SP, Dennis. She sounded so happy! Well, thats good, bcos she's been mopping abt her failing love life since i knew her. we began the shoot @ ard 4pm, roving all ard the park with them climbing on trees, stepping on ferns & up memorials to get the perfect poses. as usual, logic was our entertainer of the day, going on on his Hard Gay (he's a Hard Gay wannabe in our team. Hard Gay is a popular Japanese series, where a guy acting gay helping people with his gayish moves. Real funny! it's a hot topic for our cosplay team) & his crazy commentary on everything. after the shots, we played around throwing empty lemon tea bottles ard, chasing one another & to end it, all of us posed the Hard Gay trademark in the dark (hopefully no one recognized us in the pix). Gem had to go off early, and the others changed. Jus as i was abt to go off, my mom msged asking me to eat out 'cos she didn't cook. man, was i glad! get to spend more time with those ppl! after eating @ the foodcourt @ PS, we took cheapskate neoprints @ action city (basically sneaking into one of those neoprint machines & taking pixs with our own camera instead of paying $5-10 for prints from the machine) before we went our separate ways, & i went home with Blaze. We get to grill each other more abt ourselves. surprisingly she is like me in many ways, even though she's like 6 years older then me. so cool! & yesterday she jus made me & Gem her wives. i'm no fangirler, so i jus keep neutral abt it, but hey, it's funny! ahh.. strange habits of cosplayers.. connecting ourselves with one another with family relations... brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, uncles, aunts, etc. -_-||

& last fri was the Jap Cultural IG (JCIG) tea meeting. me & Zhang got together & walked to skool, getting to know each other personally. Yes, that's our 1st meeting. & all this while we've been talking on MSN. It didn't stop us from being awkward, which is cool. @ the tea, we got to played abit of bingo where we have to get others' signatures. it's an icebreaker, to cut it short. after that we were split into groups & had a quiz (man, the seniors really put some JRock most of us totally dunno abt. I only get to ans one qn for my grp, & that was "Who is the director of FFVII-AC & Who are the characters on the main movie cover" ANS: Tetsuya Nomura; Cloud Strife & Sephiroth son of Hojo & Lucrecia. Well, as a FF freak i would naturally know. we had to create a Kamen Rider Henshin move & presented, & then it was tea time! FOOD!! the food was great! looks like our JC is rich. during eating, me & Zhang discussed on our cosplay future, regarding his Sephiroth's Masamune which i will be doing, & also of him joining my Rozen Maiden grp for Cosfest as Jun. He's a real fine chap, nvr cosplayed before (only got to find out abt cosplay on the net), real cute (& that can be real irritating, depending on me on everything). yeah, he's cool.


our pix @ the Woodlands MRT station. he had to bend down alot to fit my height. !_!

when we separated, i went out with rui & raina chinatown. Raina has jus bought a new yellow wig for her Steller GSD costume @ a shop @ the Ppl's Park Complex, which sells any kind of wig for jus $40! & also some other stuff like bells, bangles & lacey gloves, all @ a very cheap price! must add this to the cosplay resource list! while she & rui went to the toilet to put on the wig, me & Dennis, who she brought along, get aquainted with each other. he was a funny & friendly chap. we got to click right on the spot. of course when the girls came back, i announced the warning to him abt the team (namely me, spidey, rui, jes, gem, logic & others) beating him up if he doesn't take care of her! haha! he gave a shocked look & laughed. rui had to ciao early to meet her cousin @ bugis, & the remaining 3 of us got on the MRT, them back to school for a practise performance, me back home -__-<<

me & Justin went to the Streetfest yesterday(finally!)& worked from 11am-5pm. We ate @ Burger King for breakfast, then head to the office hut to start off. we were given black t-shirts for the job too. our 1st job was to carry tables & poles to the stage @ Cineleisure, before we were assigned to give away books on the Streetfest to the public. we went along the whole stretch of Orchard Road giving away abt 30 books, targetting school kids collecting donations & teens. After that, instead of going back to replenish our stock (there was @ least 150 more), we slacked off & sipped on milkshakes from MacDonalds until our mentor Melanie called me for us to be stationed @ the Youth Park for the Battle Of The Year (BOTY) Breakdance competition. it was the finals. i had to become the one taking attendence for the 4 final crews, and Justin had to do video recording on the whole show. we get to stand behind the sound people, taking in whatever we can to be applied for our EMP project, basicly the mixer & stuff. i still dun get why the mixer board needs so much spinners & controls for the sound. while Justin have to record the show, i jus slacked off & watched the competition. HAHAHA! man, even slacking off was tiring. in the end, Radical Forze won the competition, having to represent S'pore for the BOTY World Breakdance Competition @ Thailand later this year. I'm proud, b'cos one of my skool seniors is
in the team! I took some videos for our classmate Joel, who is also a breakdancer. He loves breakdancing to watch enuf videos! we get to go back earlier then xpected (we thought it was until 10pm, but WOOOPIE!) & i went straight home exhausted.


Justin sticking out his tongue while reading the Today newspaper on the MRT home. HAHAHA!

hmm... during the hols i spent alot of time with Justin. From the EMP meeting, mentorship, class, cool! he's a cool friend.

guess i'm abit happy now, after looking @ my long collection of pixs & listening to my songs. cool.... haha! today can't sleep late as usual (that would be 4 in the wee morning) bcos the hols is ending & skool starts 2mrw...jus when i was abt to have my rest..... back to presentations & RJs & whatevers... but i'll be looking forward to meet my classmates! ^-^
