Physically, I have lost my fringe, I look like I've got a nose job in that picture (but I haven't) and to my greatest surprise, I seem as though I've lost my baby face! Thanks to my hair, I am no longer bread face. *dances* :D
One month may seem like such a short time but looking back on it, many things have happened. I cosplayed, acted in a short movie, met new people, made plans for the future, embarrassed myself in public, bought my first wig, understood more about the fragility of human emotions, experimented with and challenged my capabilities, learnt new things, ate instant noodles for days in a row, put on fake eyelashes by myself (which surprisingly wasn't as hard as I thought), experienced a whole lot of things - both positive and negative. Everything has taught me to be a better person.
They say you can't feel the calm when there's been no storm. And that might be true, I may not be able to fully appreciate what I have right now. I'm guilty of taking too many things for granted. So foolish as it may sound, I rather look forward to the storm. I know I will regret ever saying this, but I seem to have this thirst to learn (not about things on the book). The things I write in this blog are things that fascinate me - the things that I learn upon growing up. I just want to experience as many things in life as possible. Right now that is a clear reason I can see for being alive - to get as much of it as possible.
So thanks for giving me the opportunity to dye my hair more than 7 times (i think), have different coloured eyes, try on emo/scene style (lol faker much), harajuku decora style, be a lolita maid walking down the streets, act in a video, have a pink wig, cosplay, have a multicultural group of great friends, perform on stage multiple times, be a cheerleader even though I can't dance, study in Melbourne, live in a four seasons country, write my first resume, scout for part-time jobs and got instantly rejected because I wasn't Korean, meet the blue-shirt underwearless man on the bike, spent the whole night clubbing and reach home at 7am, randomly yell from my apartment balcony just because the weather was so good, drink a bottle of wine on the rooftop listening to music, snuggle in bed while it rains outside, having to run from the train station to home without an umbrella and it was hailing like mad, having to stand for one + hour in the cold rain with our boots soaked in mud waiting for the bus from tulip farm on my birthday (also having my Dad panicking and almost calling the Victorian police to send a search team for me), my babies Gucci and Polo, my precious friends, and of course my family which I am forever grateful for.
So much more to list... Hahahaha. Anyway those are really some of the great memories. I just feel so alive!
Have you got anything you really want to do but never got to it? When's the last time you told someone precious you love them (look I ain't no hypocrite, I just did)? You shouldn't let anything stop you... Seize the moment, go for it. You're not just a certain age once, every second is only there once in your lifetime. It never repeats itself. So experience as much as you can :)
Look at this, another blog post! And it hasn't been long at all since the previous one. I promise to make this one less serious :D
I'm currently having a strong urge to go cosplay. Look at that picture up there! So beautiful isn't it...! I want to buy myself a pink wig too, since I can have two alternative cosplay characters, that is: Luka Megurine (Vocaloid) and Mayura (Matantei Loki Ragnarok). Their costumes aren't too complicated either, which is good.
I did go to a wig shop the other day and I tried out several wigs. They were blonde almost white, like Lady Gaga's hair colour. But they looked so horrible on me!! I looked like a witch. The fringe was weird, and hair flared to the sides. I guess it might be because the wig was new, just came out of the box. At least, that's what the shopkeeper told me.
But I'm looking at some wigs right now on eBay... never used eBay before. But it sure is convenient compared to scouting those wig shops in the city with the scary shopkeepers... I'm currently considering this item. It will be around $44, which is... not too bad. Since I have been saving a lot of money by cooking and eating at home. But recently, I spilled water in my bag again!!! Arghh! I did the exact same thing last year and destroyed my phone and iPod. Now my iPhone is damaged... the functions work fine, but the screen brightness cannot be adjusted. The lights are ruined, I reckon. I can barely see anything on the screen.
I don't know how much it will cost to fix that since I am too damn lazy to call the guy up and ask. If my Dad were here he would help me get this done... hahaha. Oh those happy days when you just sit at home and everything is done for you... tsktsk.
Can someone buy this for me as an Easter present? :)
A visit to my high school at last! From Uniprep, I went to TA (hangout place back in those days), met up with Ratna and the person I haven't seen in so long, Angelita.
We ate at Platinum beside Timezone, then went there to take pictures. Ratna and I then tried out this new game. A ghost-hitting game. Basically, we hit cute cartoon ghosts on the big screen in front of us using these hammers. Sounds easy but trust me, TRUST ME: it's HARD.
Ratna and I only managed to play till the 3rd stage. And by then, we were sweating and exhausted. And we vowed never to play that game again. Lol. Don't believe me? Try it. It's beside the DDR machine.
Before we could depart to school though, Angelita had to leave! Argh! T___T We are not fated to hang out together.
Angelita, Me, Ratna:
On the car to school, Ratna took out her infamous hair roller. She then explained to me its long history. About how it worked magic on Susan's hair, and made her buy one for herself. Curious, I tried it on...!
And the outcome...
Okay. No difference. I guess my hair is just simply too... unshapable.
School! We have arrived! After around 30 minutes of waiting, the bell rang and our classmates are dismissed from their last class.
Here is a candid shot I took (apologies to Janet. I didn't know you were there! I couldn't see you from that small glass window, but my camera caught a fraction of you! =) ):
A common saying comes into mind:
Why so serious?
People who are tired of that don't kill me please.
Here is a picture of me and Josie:
It's amazing how the sisterly powers work. Not only are we both wearing the bracelet Josie gave me, but it's also the same amount: 2. AND, we are both wearing striped jackets.
Finally, after some dramatic events and romantic greetings (nyehehe), Ratna and I went to her house to get her things for the spontaneously-planned sleepover we were going to have.
However!
Vina just couldn't go there and be decent. She had to do this:
Mwahah! It's Ratna's wig for her cosplay which she didn't get to wear (or rather, want to). It was so much fun putting it on. I felt crazy. High. Hahaha. Well, up to the point when her Dad suddenly came into the room and saw me like that.
...So fun we had.
Oh did you know that by putting the second blue-haired picture (the one when I am looking 45 degrees sideways) as my MSN display picture, I managed to fool quite a lot of people into thinking I actually dyed my hair blue?? My main fool-points are:
I told the hairdresser to dye my hair blue, but not...not THAT blue! It's too bright!
I'm so pissed!
I need to dye it back to black ASAP before Uniprep starts again.
Well, my hair in real life is not as bright as the picture. I editted that, so yeah.
And people believed me. Just like that. Very easy. They go all shocked. Then I show them this video Ratna took of me:
(For people with banwidth, don't worry, it's only 4 seconds long)
They go all angry. And telling me how dumb they feel. Mwahhaha! Fools! You have fallen into my trap!
What's with me and fooling people about my hair? =p
First it's the pictures of me having "short hair", now it's me with "blue hair".
^Photo credit to Ratna. Isn't it a nice photo? But my hair looks slightly short there.
I didn't manage to take any photos from the sleepover. We basically watched tons of movies and hit each other in bed. I mean... hit each other while on the bed. And not to forget, my classic moves of blanket-snatching.
But one thing did amaze me! And a picture of it I took!
Ratna ate my dog and its blood is all over her mouth.
Just joking, her lips bled. But that last photo is pretty creepy eh??? Damn I love photoshop! Haha! It freaked me out when I editted it.
Anyways, it's getting late. I'll see you guys around!
