More updates.

I found it really interesting to see people's reactions when I told them:
1) My long nails weren't fake nails.
2) I used UHU glue to stick back my broken nails (It really works!).
3) I could still do housework with them (Long nails don't grow overnight, so I've gotten used to them as they grow...).
I've cut my nails already, but it feels nearly the same as when they were long.


Feli gave me a turtle recently!
Named it Brioche, nicknamed it Ah Bi.
I think it's a 'he', but I can't tell yet since it's still too small.


Going out is getting more and more troublesome, despite having fun during those times.

I broke my naillllllllllllllllllll... *cries*

Yeah well, though I was extremely careful this time, I broke it while I was half asleep...
It was quite disappointing, but I remembered that Shawn told me that his friend glued it back together, so I decided to google 'what to do when nail breaks'.
True enough, one of the method was to use super glue...
Though it was quite frustrating and scary (since it's my first time attempting to glue a nail back), I must say that the results made me happy.

It bled and hurt a little at first when I broke it, and stung a little when I put the super glue.
Since it's the finger of my right hand, I'm going to train myself to be left-handed...

Update!!

Haven't blogged anything because, well, nothing's been happening recently.
Shall write about some stuff...

- A lot of people I know went/are going to China this year.

- Just filed my nails.
\o/
I quite like my nails.
Every time I meet someone they comment about how long it is and ask whether it's troublesome though.
I can still do type, cook, clean, et cetera with long nails, just that I'm slower, and they hurt if I'm not careful.
I do miss playing the piano though.

- Next week's the week when everyone's coming back~~
\o/
Can't wait~

- My room's really in a mess, in the sense that everything's already clean and in order, but there's a pile of stuff on my bed which I don't know what to do with...
My study room too...

- Cookies are still the best to be eaten with milk~

- Comic Fiesta's coming, and I'm not exactly hyped.
Don't really know what to cosplay, and I'm not really excited to think of what to cosplay or to do any props.
Probably a sign that I'm going to stop soon?
I still really enjoy looking at cosplay photography, admire the make up, costume, props and all that though.
*rolls*

- Bought some birthday presents...
A lot of people I know are born in December...

- Want to go for a manicure one day hehehe...
Want somebody to file my nails for me...

Alright, going to go shower, then clear my room up a bit.
I need to make everything in order before my mom comes home...

It's December.

I'm not too fond of Decembers, though I don't really know how to explain why.


Dad just went to China for a business trip, and would be back on Friday.
Mom'll be going to Penang on Saturday for slightly more than a week.
This weekend I'll be helping out at a public speaking course, of which I was a participant several years ago.
I fell in love with how the participants could change so quickly in a span of only three days, so I try to help out if I can in order to see the 'newer' participants.


I'm looking forward to meeting my friends again.

My nails are getting longggggg...

I want to go for a manicure one day.
*-*
Until then, I shall make do with my own crappy nail polish applying skills.

NINJA KITTY!!!

That aside, nothing much to blog about, hence all these random YouTube stuff...

Pac-Man!!

Whee~~~

Recently I've been reading Nurarihyon no Mago~
/o/
I've seen quite a number of its cosplay, but Xan finally got me to read it.


I'll be going out tomorrow, and maybe I'll be able to shop a bit.
...Hopefully I'll actually shop...
|D
I need some new shoes and stuff.

Blog playlist.

Whenever I set my playlist, I tend to avoid songs which are 'harsher', them being those songs which included screaming or swearing.
I don't know why I did it.
Maybe it's cause I didn't want people to know that my tastes are such?
Or maybe it's cause I wanted to let the readers and visitors to have music which are more 'normal'?
Or that I was scared that I'd be judged based on the songs I listen to?
Hmm.
Well, now I guess I don't really mind any more since no one listens to my playlist.
Made a new playlist and changed the design too, so that it's easier to browse.
Also shoved it at the bottom of the blog cause it's bigger now.


When I read my older blog posts, I feel like facepalming till my nose inverts or something.
OTL
I can't believe how immature I was...
OTL
But it's interesting.
See how much I've changed.
:'D


Ah, Sam seems to have reached UK.
\o/

Hmm.

Cause bun asked me to blog more, so I shall try to.
\o/
I've probably mentioned a couple of times before, but among my friends, I was one of the latest to have a blog, but everyone else's blog has died...
-.-
I've nothing much to blog about though.
Life is as usual.
Sam's flight is tonight, and she won't be back till December.
She left me with tons of songs though...
Haven't managed to listen to all of them yet, as I didn't transfer all to my MP3.
Got hooked to the song Pieces by Red (one of the songs Sam gave me), which I've been looping for about four days now.
Hmm doubt that Sam would read this, but I've already been looking forward to December.
A lot of my friends would be coming back then.
Hmm.
I want to meet everyone again.

Interestingly, I've cosplayed Miku the most too since in my opinion, nearly anyone can cosplay Miku.
Been a long while since I did tags.

Makeup and soft toys.

Cause bun wanted to see everyone's makeup kit, and I may as well show furu my extremely reduced pile of soft toys.
I only use make up for cosplay reasons, and I don't think nail polish and coloured contact lens would be considered as 'makeup', but I'm going to add it in anyway.

...Honestly, my first reaction was '...THERE'S MORE THAN I REMEMBER.'.

Close ups...

Two kinds of foundation, two kinds of powder and green base.
The foundation are of different shades and the powder on the right was given to me by my mom.

Eyeshadow.

Blusher and turquoise eyeshadow which I use to colour my eyebrows whenever I cosplay Miku.

Sharpener and brushes which are either spare, or rarely used.

Black waterproof eyeliners (some are new, some are finishing), black non waterproof eyeliner (which I use for practice), white waterproof eyeliner and green eyeshadow pencil which I used for AHS Miku.

Black waterproof mascara, dark brown waterproof mascara, black waterproof mascara which adds length and brown mascara.

Lip gloss and lipstick.
I rarely use lipstick, and prefer lip gloss much more.
My mom took one of my lipstick...

Fake eyelash and the white bottle with the silver cap is the fake eyelash glue.
From left to right, top to bottom, the pair which my parents bought for me when they went to Japan, the pair which I'm experimenting on halfway (hence the odd colour for one of them), the next two pairs I got it during a promotion and the dramatic pair which I don't really dare to use.
Next, the pair which I got during the same promotion as the previous two (bought this one cause it's different from what I normally prefer), my first pair which bun gave me, my favourite pair at the moment and the last two are the less obvious and more natural type.
Most of them are the crisscross kind, cause I feel that it looks more natural.

Oil based makeup remover, nail polish remover and water based makeup remover.

Cotton pieces.
\o/
Decided to add it in since it is used during makeup.

My nail polish collection, nail sticker decorations (one more set was downstairs when I took this picture), fake nail glue, fake nail sticker and fake nails.
Coloured and shaped only some of the fake nails.

Some of them are repeat colours cause they are running out.

Bought them recently because of a promotion...
OTL
Yes I know it's a lot...
Shall wear contact lenses more often...
Top to bottom, left to right, pink, red, green, purple, blue, another green and silver.
In the case, plano red, green and brown.

And here's some other stuff which I forgot about until later on.

Black non waterproof mascara and fake lower eyelashes.
I also have an eyelash curler, but totally forgot all about it.

Makeup stuff which I want/plan to get later on
- Lip liner.
- More eyeshadow colours. I want more obvious colours. D:
- Nose shadow.
- Natural type of fake eyelash.

And now for my soft toys...

orz
They're all buried, so it seems quite little.
I used to have more, but my mom made me give them away.
Shall introduce some of them.

Black teddy bear which I bought when I was in Singapore with bun.

Kitteny.

Brownie.

Okay done.
\o/

Kimchi

I used to not like it at all, but recently I'm starting to have constant cravings for it.
orz
I've a feeling it's going to end up like how I feel towards pizza, durian and sushi.
Evade it like the plague at first, but come to start liking it.
OTL

Also, I drank nearly a whole kettle of water in the form of green tea today...
I don't normally drink much water...

Strawberry cake from Feli~~

Wanted to eat strawberry cake for quite a long while.
Thank you Feli~~~
TwT

Update.

My lips look as though there's chocolate stains on it, but it's actually dried blood and wounds.
OTL
Recently I've been biting my lips quite a lot...
Also, I've drank more water, and as such my lips STARTED GETTING DRYER!?!?!?!?!?!?
I don't get it.
orz
But really, after I started drinking more water, my lips got very dry, and my skin got quite bad...


Been watching YouTube videos of...
...I don't know how to describe it...
Of people playing horror games?
For those of you who know, it's 4PlayerPodcast's stuff.
Here's one of their many videos.
(Will probably include swearing, also it includes a lot of screaming.)



One of their many many many videos.
It's really entertaining to watch them playing horror games.

Going out this Saturday together with Sam, Hans, Feli and Shawn.

...I don't know what we're going to do.

I want to play ParaPara if Shawn allows.

:<

To be honest, this time I'm blogging for the sake of blogging, not really because I have something to share...
Somehow I notice that for blogs, games, stuff like those, my friends would start on it before I do.
Then very much later, I'll start on it.
Then my friends would give up/ stop.
However I'll still continue.
...I guess I don't know when to stop?

C2AGE and Bon Odori

Attended those two events today~


C2AGE was alright, I guess.
(But then again, I'm there for the friends.)
Cosplayed Alice Human Sacrifice.
Thank you to those who took the apples~
Sorry if they're damaged/spoilt.
OTL
I think it rolled around in the basket too much...

AND THANK YOU TO THE RANDOM STRANGER WHO HELPED ME TODAY.
I borrowed Mirai's shoes today, and when I was walking alone, the sole came off.
And a random person came up to me and ask whether I needed glue.
Not only did she give me some, she even applied it for me.
OTL
THANK YOU A LOT.
I WILL REMEMBER THIS.

Another interesting thing regarding the shoes (or my feet, actually), was that near the end of the day, when I removed the shoes, I wiggled my toes a little, AND IT GOT CRAMPED.
OTL
So I leaned on Shawn for support.
After the cramps stopped, I took a few steps, AND THE OTHER FOOT GOT CRAMPED.
OTL
So I leaned on Shawn for support again.
orz
Luckily he was conveniently next to me.
...I should wear heels more often...
...I can't feel my toes...


As for Bon Odori...
I guess I don't know how to appreciate such an event yet.
D:
Went back quite early.
Met people whom I wasn't expecting to meet, and didn't manage to meet people whom I was looking forward to meet.
orz
Then after that, Xan misled us (key word is misled) to have a late dinner.
...Epic experience is too epic to be written out.
I shall just say that I shall never want to drive my friends around, ESPECIALLY XAN.
When I learn how to drive and have my own car, XAN, YOU'RE BANNED FROM MY CAR.
I SHALL USE MY INSTINCTS INSTEAD OF YOUR EPIC DIRECTIONS.
*ROLLS OVER XAN*


Special thank you to Belle for allowing us to get ready at your place~
m(_ _)m
Sorry that we made such a mess.
The eyeliner stains on my feet aren't fading.
Thank you to Shawn too, for the usual.
orz
Thanks Mirai for buying the apples~
I can't really remember everything, but thank you, everyone, and sorry for all the inconveniences~
orz

Synchronicity shoot!

Old shoot is old...
We had this shoot on the first day of the year.
OTL
Thanks to Razrig, Shawn and Linkin for being our photographer as well as driver~
 

Getting ready at the venue...

Synchronicity Miku is really troublesome...
The long wig which kept getting tangled, the gloves made of smooth material which made holding things difficult, the shoe ribbons which kept falling and made it hard to walk, the prop, the skirt...
There had to be someone following around to take care...

Teto's dancing...

......

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to put Miku into a kneeling pose.

First, summon the helpers.

Tadaa.

Now to move to a lying position.

Covering up some more.

More adjustments...

Finally done.

Now go bring me my sandwich.

This pic...

...Was actually like this.

Everyone teaching Rin how to dance.

Miku: YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG. *slaps*

Miku teaching Rin Indian dance.
(In actual fact, Miku WAS telling Rin how to pose...)

 Wedding picture.

 Rin: *facepalm*

 FURRY LITTLE PUPPY IN A BLACK SLEEVELESS LEATHER SUIT.

 SO ADORABLEEEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~

 Miku's counting her fingers.

Len being sexy.

 Teto approves.

 Rin: ......

Len: It's okay. You don't need to be scared.
Rin: ...Are you sure?

 Here's a small tribute to the photographers...
(Don't kill me.)

 ...WHY ARE YOU TWO WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES?

 OTL
Sorry, and thank you for going through all the trouble in order to take our pics...

Having a conference.

Okay, that's all.
See you~
Next Synchronicity shoot during end of the year!!!!!!!
