Sakahiro Takarai's Be All Right

Its official! As of 11am this morning, I never have to put on a school uniform again! Last paper. Literature in English. Paper 3.

It was not as difficult as I thought it would be. The Unseen was a poem and a play extract. Both were comprehensive. I chose the poem in the end as I know how to analyse a poem more than a play. All thanks to the beloved Mr Whitby. As for compare and contrast, I compared Owen and Murder. Issue was the presentation of uncertainty and doubt. Did the essay on recount by older Marlow. Most felt it was a weird question. So I don't know. I might fail. I felt it was pretty alright. Which is either a good thing or a bad thing. More likely to be the latter. Means that I am absolutely dead. Oh well. Leave and let live.

Went to town. There was this sense of emptiness. Not because of the company, Viv was like the highlight, but rather, I think it stems from the realisation that there is nothing left. Just waiting. On the surface, you rejoice, but deep down inside, you start wondering what you are going to do. I'm looking for work, but hardly anyone seems to be hiring. Is it the economy? I sincerely doubt so. I guess its just that people don't want to hire kids. And that due to the JC curriculum starting in February next year, the market is saturated with people looking for work. Sheesh.

I want to do dance. Will most probably join the IP kids. I want to shoot. Will most probably join Kaen in her archery. I want to learn Spanish. Will most probably attempt it with Viv. My parents want me to learn to drive. I have no idea if I am mentally prepared enough to do it! Haha. So many things, so little time. I still need to go to the tailor for my Dorothea costume. I still need to buy Code Geass Monica's costume. I need to wrap up the various details of JJR. I need to start thinking of the design and colour scheme of Aoi's costume. I need to assemble Lulubell's clothes! Whoever said that cosplay was for little children, whoever said that its a frivolous and meaningless and easy activity has never done it. Its hard work. Well, unless you have all the money in the world to splurge and spend. Unless you have a palace of servants to clean up and source stuff for you. Like I said, unless you path is paved with money... Even if it was paved with money, its not easy. And the costume is only HALF the battle...

I shall not scare the poor kids out there who might be interested in cosplaying. Yet, it is true. behing the glamour, the momentarily 'cool' factor, is hard work. Lack of sleep. Headaches. Craft sessions. Sewing sessions. Travelling around the island. Being made fun of by others. Social stigmas. Stereotypes. Empty piggybank...

I love it. Always have. Always will.
