SOY

Playlist

Whatever that random song is on Jason's playlist...

Yes, I know this is late. I wanted to wait for the SOY photos to be uploaded before I type this. Why? Because I have no intention of typing down every single thing that ocurred. I'm just going to recount the behind-the-scenes stuff that no photographer could have captured. Yes, that word hangs in the air. I dare you to vocalise it in front of me. Can't? Too bad.

Waited for Kaen for 2 hours. At the MRT station. I went to Chinatown straight after work on Friday night to buy the stuff we need. Good thing too, as most of the shops were already clsoing at 630pm. Super early, but not unexpected. Only a handful of shops were open due to the post Chinese New Year break they were all on. Most of the shop owners were really nice to give me generous discounts. Guess they wanted to start the year on a good note. Either that or they already had a windfall from the New Year crowd. Haha. I shop, according to my mom, like a guy, so I was done at around 7pm. So I waited for my uke (HAHA) at Chinatown, and later at my home's bus stop. Killed time waiting for her to fly down with our costumes and her rifle from Kai. Helped a few tourists with their ez-link cards, push prams through the barrier, direct more tourists to the correct train... SBS Transit ought to pay me.

We reached my grandma's place around 9pm. Yes. I had dinner at 9pm when my lunch for that day was... 1pm. I'm astonished that I did not faint or anything. Kaen looked... hilariously like an oba-san. What with the enormous Daiso bag and her bag and the rifle in the cardboard and her looking tired... I laughed hysterically when I saw her. Come on, I was tired too. Though I killed some more time mugging for my driving test...

At home, we started by slacking around, deciding on who baths first. Turns out it did not matter, as we ended up sewing and taping on my bedroom floor. We must have been such a sight. One taping leather straps and arranging it haphazardly while the other sews this ugly snake thing. Syuffed it with newspaper. Seriously ugly. Still, its accurate, as Dorothea's magic sucks. LOL. Went to bed around midnight as we wanted to reduce eyebags.

Woke up at 8am. I think its my internal alarm from working at MBA. Work strats at 10am, so waking up at 8am is ideal. Haha. Kaen had used her cape as a blanket in the middle of the night. Its expensive satin, so it feels awesome. Really nice. Smooth. I want a satin cape too~ Anyhow, while I was busy packing my house and getting my things ready, that girl was reading manga at my veranda. Ludwig. Yes, she said it was research, but it so obviously was her slacking! So we only started working at 930am. I assure you, that is plenty late for people who still have to cmplete boot covers, sew costumes, finish snake, make up, wig... We were suppose to lunch with Vivi at noon. We reached Ngee Ann Poly at 2pm. Two hours late. Cabbed there. Vivien even bought us lunch. Can you believe it?! Vivi, we owe you so much. Never again will I arrange to meet you when I have an event. Poor Vivi. We were running around my house to get things ready, hugging the dustbin to cut the wig... My make up was awful. I am getting a new eyeliner. Sochii-san has recommended some, so might try it out.

The event area was tiny. Made a new friend. Reina-san. She actually met the Pure Boys guys in JAPAN! In REAL LIFE! Apparently, she sings well too. Super cool. She met the actor of Tezuka from the third cast of Tenimyu. I have just forgotten his name. Anyway, she's really nice. Hung out with us for a bit and the both of us were going on and on about Prince of Tennis. Atobe-sama is love~. Celebrated Rinya's birthday. She's born on the same day as Dad and hyde. Another January 29th baby.

Kaen looked awesome. Compared to her, I just looked like any other meido running around in the event. She had a rifle. That counts for something. And she was in red. Which is quite a rare colour even in the most normal of events. Added to the fact that she does look hot... Haha. I'll be surprised if no one stalks her. I feel so proud of her. And my sewing skills as her straps did not split. Haha. Sochii-san was suppose to be there as well, but we never met her. So near, yet so far. Oh well.

Now the fun part.
I want to thank these people for making SOY a happy time for me...

Vivi and Choonie. Thank you for carting things, opening bottle caps, buying food, talking to us... Thank you for the time, effort and companionship. I shall never ever drag you guys to events that you are not participating in ever again. I feel awful. Serious. So you guys can rest assured that I'll look around for some way to take care of my belongngs from now on. Yep. I love you guys!

My family. Thanks for keeping the food warm, for allowing my friend to stay over, for allowing to go for the event, for not complaining about the mess, for not commenting on my costume, for worrying about me... THANK YOU! Love you guys too!

The cab driver. For being willing to pick up two crazy girls.

Kaen. You know why. LOL.

SOY... Yeah :)
