31st December 2008

In a few hours, its gonna be a whole new year. The new Muslim year has already started so what's the fuss about? =p

Resolutions! Anybody got them? Me nah? I just make long term plans.

Speaking of which I don't really quite remember what I did during the course of the year. O.O

Tony Roma's...

...was delicious! Except for the Buffalo Wings. The vinegar and garlic taste was too sharp making it just not nice. Really. That's what I love about being in the UAE. I get to eat things which are not halal in most of the other parts of the world. 8D

So, in a few hours I'll be flying off back to Singapore. Flight's gonna be at 10am, so gotta be at the airport by 7am, meaning i gotta wake up in 3 hours time. =_= Will reach Sg at 2125. So if anybody is thinking of fetching us, you can just come by! XD

Hopefully I've packed correctly.

Gah! I forgot to buy the sweets! Dx

*photoshops* 8D

Nah. Meh...

Me is currently at Fujairah. Where you ask? Its an hour and a half Drive away from Dubai. =3 Came with my sis, living with my father now. Holidays are fun!!!

On a side note... I love spending for clothes in Dubai! XD So Different from SG!!

EOY EOY EOY

Rawr for EOY! Things I've learnt while making the Cao Ren costume:
1) Using craft foam as platemail is just asking for it as its not heavy enough just to weigh it down.
2) Wire mesh works wonders and you can go bbq later! 8D
3) Ugh... I need a better medium to work with... T_T

Things to do: REDO COSTUME to make it more EPIC!

I NEED TO DO MY WEAPON!!!

Its 3:06 am...

Experts and teachers say that when working with metal, you should wear safety glasses, have proper equipment, practice proper safety.

Hell. I'm glad I wear glasses... and that resourcefulness and sheer grit can get you anywhere.

Might post up pics later.

Of White sticky liquids...

Talking about white glue that is! ^^ Currently doing my DW6 Cao Ren costume. Honestly, I don't really know HOW to make the armour parts. I just make it up as I go along. Plans never really did work for me. ^^U

I just bought the chicken wire (Everyone avoided me as I walked through the market). A nice woman helped me pick out the scissors/shears to cut it. Now then... How can I not make it poke me too much.. Hrmz...

Now playing...

Samurai Warriors: State of War, PSP

Fun...
