here's what i really dislike. in random order, purely out of the top of my head.

1. sending someone a request, and getting it confirmed, but never seeing it done
2. see above, even with reminders
3. being late for things
4. people turning up late
5. buying your family things to share, but they don't seem to be touching it
6. initiating a meeting for maybe once in a while but getting rejected
7. see 6., if it happens a second time
8. see 6 again, if it happens a third time
9. knowing the postman was here 20minutes before i'm home
10. trying to call singpost to realise their line is engage
11. trying to call someone with a engaged line, and realising later that i have the outdated number
12. wanting to use the toilet but someone's cleaning it
13. resending something you have already sent
14. actually, redoing something you have already done
15. having your boss forget that you're actually on leave, and remind you for the umpteeth time about the live date of the website
16. and you explaining to him for the 10,000th time why it's still not up yet, with the same reasons as the previous 9,999th time
17. having him tell you to create another report when you already have something similar given (on your holiday)
18. giving my credit number for the 3rd time because it doesn't go through for some reasons
19. people asking the questions you have already answered - please, read your mail for god's sake
20. trying to kill the same monster again and again and getting kicked into the bloody hole.
21. this monster actually takes 2HP at once (fyi, i only have a max of 6HP)
22. what's with lighting up all the bloody fires that can only be lighted for 2secs??
23. knowing i'm facing #1-#22 today, and i am only halfway through my day.

24. and then, having your idiot brother message everyone on your office msn when you're supposed to be on leave.

on a side note, i actually have some stuff to brighten my day.

1. checking my account... and holy cow, it's just increased by 20 fold!
2. getting a registered mail when you didn't pay for it... and so fast!
3. knowing i didn't turn out quite as ugly as expected. but still ugly.
4. all the slashes up there... knowing they've been reciprocated.

well, i'm still counting my fingers. let's see the list when the day's over.

ooh my weekends have been rather fruitful.

saturday morning was spent coloring my blades so i can wait for them to dry later on.

Photobucket

afternoon was spent cutting this rabbit for val's teito. needs stuffings to complete. messaged her, then realised she's already at CF. kinda pissed off momentarily at frank's lie, but oh well. sometimes i should just not be bothered at all.

Photobucket

and late noon to night, the turtleneck.

Photobucket

then i spent about 1.5hours sewing all the buttons and hooks on to conceal the ugly zip while watching bakemonogatari.

Photobucket

Photobucket

woke up the next day with tired right arm and right leg. hmmm not sure why it is only this side. -.-

sunday - continued working on my castor. managed to piece the scythe together and colored it. went out to buy some materials in the morning.

Photobucket

Photobucket

tried to figure out how to make my butterfly armour using the foam + cloth wrapping method, but it turned out horrible. post later.

walked around house and ended up trying out the new philips blender bro had bought for mom, and made apple yogurt smoothie. yum! then blended the carrots and chestnuts, and mashed the meat, prawns and spring onions with them. sat down to wrap the dumplings while watching another episode of bakemonogatari again. dinner was great! i should have photographed all the ingredients and stuff, but i was too lazy with my dirty hands. oh well, next time maybe.

went out to causeway after that to get some more materials, and bought a whole box of chiffon cakes for my family. tomorrow's breakfast is gonna be good.

continued with epoxy-ing my scythe, and managed to saw out the top part of the specs using a saw! yays! castor looks quite ready to rock! even though i feel that maybe i'm not even needed for the group, i have to do well if i'm going to solo (since the rest were all ready to drop out just a few days ago...)

Photobucket

i feel like just flying a kite now...

by the way that cat bouncing around is pretty strong. it helped me kill off some t-rexes while i was screenshooting. not bad. although i did faint once or twice from stupidly moving to the poisoned waters.

do unto others what you want others to do unto you.

that's why i'm getting my retribution now, in a tenfold amount.

maybe before i start hating them for it, i should hate myself first.

I HATE MYSELF.

i swear, this embroidery is my most painful experience ever.

1) tracing from the computer onto a clear transparency (actually used my leftover folders... easier to cut!)

2) cutting out the stencil

Photobucket

3) cutting the cloth and seaming the edges (so they won't dethread when you are embroidering ya?

4) stenciling onto the cloth

Photobucket

5) cutting the backing and sewing the backing on

6) embroidering... and it takes about 15mins to complete one part of the pattern. looks the same as if it wasn't embroidered. ughhh i have to convince my self the results will be good.

since there's no news from our leader... we have to fa fen tu qiang ourselves. good thing i'm so self-motivated.

used those foolscap board for the base, wrapped satin and the bishop cloth. effect not so good since the surface is very ruffled.

Photobucket

decided to do another one using a white paper bag i found and wrapped bishop cloth over it. ironed the cloth before i wrap. not so bad!

Photobucket

i'm getting infected by val's uhu glue sickness. this is wholly uhu glue. cut the shape from some paper, wrapped cloth around it and uhu-glued it onto my turtleneck. wanted to stitch it on... but it seems to look better without the stitches!!! well i might consider stitching it just to prevent the paper inside from disintegrating later on after wash...

put on the carvings for kurobara's pincer weapon too.

Photobucket

clay keeps cracking like crazy. painted it silver, then white, then mixed with silver again. also repainted the body a darker color.

Photobucket
yes finally started on castor! eventhough i'm not even sure if i should wait for the main one from frank to be done... but i think i won't make it in time if i keep waiting anyway. so just started it and maybe make amends later on. haha.

the robes all look supersize now, but when it's worn, the drapes fall down and it actually looks not so bad.
