It's been that long (maybe not) since I last posted on my lj. Very empty and cold here ne?
E-learning week is such a scam. It's just for professors to dump 1000 pages of text at us, and make us go nuts, because they can't finish the syllabus. CHEATERS!
So stressed over school stuff. I used to complain Level 1000 modules, how hard they are, but at the end of the day, at least you get something, even though you can't score well.... Now with 4 Level 2000s, I'm suffering even more, because they are harder than Level 1000 (duhh), and at the end of the day, you still don't get it.
I don't know what I'm going to do with Level 3000s in the next semester, HAHA. And not to forget I'm gonna lug SIX modules.
Great Eastern says: Life is Great.
I probably can't reckon so.
Cosplay-wise, I haven't been doing much since Cosfest, except for the following:
1) Official opening of my small business (NUS encourages entrepreneurship!) -
dearttolife@wordpress PLEASE SUPPORT!
- Basically I offer 3 services: tailoring, wig purchase/customisation, and wig trimming/styling
- Wigs are generally Kanekaleon fibres. There are heat resistant fibres too, but they are more costly (duhh). Character wigs are available.
- Wig trimming/styling starts at SGD6 for basic. Prices increase with difficulty and the amount of fibre to be chopped. If we are not confident in doing the style, we will reject the order.
2) First photoshoot - CCS.
- Took quite a number of shots, but only few made it to my selection via filter LOL. Maybe it's because I'm working with people I'm not familiar with AT ALL. Like, Tomoyo being the bestie of Sakura, but I only know+saw her at the photoshoot itself. What kind of chemistry and spark can anybody expect?
- Surprisingly, some shots that I thought might be screwed turned out quite well. I'd editted a few, and posted two, on my deiantART account, and currently in the process of updating my Cure account too. -
dearttolife@deviantART 優か@Cure- Special thanks to KM for helping out and tolerating some crap stuff. This is what NUS train us for, to tolerate as much shyt-stuff as possible, HAHA.
- Many things to work and improve on: repair my prop, work on my spastic smile, do something about the dying wig.
3) Planning of future plans
- Quite a number of things lined up, and people have to stop psycho-ing me to do this and that just for photoshoots, ROFL. I have quite a number on hold already, and my pocket will rocket-explode even before I can make it to the next big event for myself. Thank goodness while these people psycho me, they promise they will help me borrow some stuff that I can't get due to financial problem.
- My Pandora Hearts EOY team has grown, expanding to Singaporeans based in the States, HAHA. Most are budding cosplayers. I myself am a budding cosplayer too, so I won't say much. Hopefully everything pulls through, and none of my sewing will fall apart during the event and the photoshoot. First cosplay to be handsewn everything by myself, from the outfit to the costumisation of the boots. And I'm going to do quite a number of stuff for my members too *sweat*
- Photoshoot dates have been scheduled, and I think I'll die if anybody wants to squeeze in more. Once every week, how is that?
4) Contemplations
- I know my list is long, yet I'm still eyeing on certain characters.... It would be challenging, many things to customise, but it would be fun too. But height.... For once I am too tall for a character OTL
- Many many many tentative plans. Hopefully everything can be done, within budget, without having to starve myself or work as a slave.
Lastly, even though cosplay is now a very big-piece of my life and I hope I can excel in it, do it well and be one hell of a cosplayer, I still hope I can stay focus on my studies and for-goodness-sake pull my CAP up till something less shameful.
I need the power, the strength, the determination, the will. Oh Lord, please grant me all, for I am Your sheep.
