Of Genshiken and lifearts and me
Its 4am here and I just finished reading Genshiken. Granted its not the kind of manga I usually read but reading about the many antics of the "Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture" or easier known as Genshiken, has reminded me of my days in the Lifearts club.
Yes, I do drop by the clubhouse these days, but I refer to the times when I was there. How I joined the club. How I dragged Rahayu along. How I met Hong Chen, Richard, Bryan, Huijie, Maurice, Jojo, Simon, Grace, Shaun, Kelvin, Pearl, Xiao Hui and Jarvis, Jeff, Cheryl, Pei Boon and so many others as I practically lived in the clubhouse in my days at SP.
Reading Genshiken is like a guilty pleasure for me as I'm not as an acclaimed otaku as the rest of my friends are. I'm more into manga. But as I read the comic, the number of references which I understood made me feel ashamed and proud at myself. And thus I continued to the next chapter and onto the next and onto the next.
What I liked most about this is the many varieties of people inside the club. There's the plain but hardworking president-protag (Sasahara), the ultimate Yaoi fangirl (Oribe), the-I'm-just-hanging-around (Kasukabe). Then there's also the very enthusiastic but veryveryvery weird member (Kuchiki) which I think is a staple in every club. *laughs*
Those mentioned above are so very similar to the many personages that walked through the doors of the clubhouse. We all had our own interests in joining the club. But one thing for sure, none of us came out unchanged.
And we all became a family. I miss you guys. ^_^

When Cows bark...
My week has been hectic really. It was a depressing start with the death of my only grandfather left. We had to tell my parents where were on their nth honeymoon to Jordan. It was tough. Next day was the funeral which after that I had school.
I was moping around a bit, still putting my feelings in order. When I went to the lt for tutorial I was told I was an hour late. GOD! So I had like 2 hours until my next lecture. Btw, my schedule sucks. Start very late.
On Wednesday, I had my right bottom wisdom tooth removed. It was causing me nerve damage and a heck of a tooth ache. So yeah. The excavation cost me $400 but I can talk easily on that day itself. So I feel that he did do a good job. No bruising at all. Food for me though has been soft foods cause I can't open big and my other side hurts more than my stitched gums.
Thursday. School again but I had a meeting in the afternoon before my class.
Friday, today. Felt like more than a week has passed. My mother came back from Dubai this morning. Did a little research for my FYP (I think I found some things!) And went shopping with my family.
Plans:
Saturday. Mage as usual and date Huijie. *loves*
Sunday. Mage again to teach. New people, new faces and same hyper kid.

Steam Punk Quiz!
Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...
The Air Pirate
14% Elegant, 41% Technological, 23% Historical, 52% Adventurous and 60% Playful!
You are the Air Pirate, the embodiment of steampunk fantasy. Admittedly, you would probably be more comfortable in a pulp adventure or Eberron fantasy, but you are able to find your niche in the less serious side of the genre. You are probably somewhat light on your technological accessories, but the ones that you do carry have a roguish dash to them. Your clothes are most likely styled after those of Victorian aristocrats or loyal airship officers, the better to show off your wealth and the spoils of your raids. Chances are you prefer to be flashy and extravagant, and frock coats are perfect.

Of slacking around the house
Havent been updating this place for some time. Just that I've been lying around the house the past few days, slacking. I told myself to do my report. But after that draft, I kinda lost my steam. Sigh...
On the costume front! Really lost my steam here. I mean, I was honestly working hard making that armour skirt and then suddenly after cosfest I just didn't feel like working on it anymore. Whats more, whe I last tried it on, It didn't fit!!!
Yes! It didn't fit! Not because it small. It's because I lost weight recently due to me being sick and my back being what it was until the urut session. Seems like when I weighed myself, I found myself at 67kg. Well that was 2 weeks ago. Now I think it's back to 70. But my waistline's gone down. and I have to redo the skirt because of this.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad bout my weightloss... Sigh...

Update today...
I'm frustrated... My GOD! My costume cannot be completed because the cloth wasn't enough. So I gotta get more... 3 yards more in fact. I should have told her that I didn't care for the pattern much, just how good the exposed parts looked. @_@
And my helmet... just for a reference... how should I fix it? btw, I feel lucky that the craft foam did not dissolve away when I spray painted. I can't say much about my foam head though... its pitted away horribly!
