I have been running around like a hamster in a cage for the past few days. Like a hamster, it doesn't feel like I'm going round in circles. But unlike a hamster, I know I am. An exercise in futility as Whitby says. I cannot agree with him more. Anyhow. Updates are in order.



I attended the Distant Worlds Final Fantasy concert on 23rd May, here forth known as FF concert. With Vivi and Kaen. We had Subway for dinner at Raffles City. At least Vivi and I did while Kaen was flipping through Jimmy's illustration book. Nothing noteworthy about dinner, the highlight most probably sating myself with proper food after some 6 hours. Oh. We saw LY, JC and SY. Out shopping? I have no idea. Bought HF her birthday present as well. Was not what we intended to get, but better. HF, if you are reading this, you better like your present! HAHA. On the way, we went from early to nearly late as I was sidetracked in Charles and Keith. They are having a sale, and I wanted the boots for Lulubell. I'm not sure if the colour matches my costume though. The matte version is slightly brown, while the black is patent. Patent is definitely out. All that remains is if I should get the matte. I know it wont be there anymore if I wait until July. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Should I get it? Its pretty cheap. Can someone help me decide? Thanks! :)



ANYWAY. We were at the Raffles City underpass to the Esplanade 5 minutes before the concert started. I know how Cinderella feels. When the bell chimes in the underpass, the echo effect is enough to make me sprint to the entrance. Best part, it isnt the first time either. Stupid me made us late, and we couldn't buy the FF concert art book. I know Moster's friend said that it wasn't worth getting, forty bucks and super thin, but hey! A piece of memorabilia would have been nice. Ok. Nicer than the weird looking tee shirt and a CD that doesn't seem particularly attractive. Ok. To the main topic. The music was awesome! The composer himself came down to attend! The conductor was hilarious and funny. The orchestra.... Eh. It was generally good, except for now and then when the double bassist hit the music score stand, when you could hear someone placing their feet on the floor, when people were moving around backstage... Distracting. But the quality is there. The three singers ruined a portion of the performance though. They should have stuck to the choir and the orchestra. Much better. Of course my favourite piece was One Wing Angel. I cheered so loudly that I lost my voice when the conductor announced it during the second encore. I cried with joy when I saw Sephiroth's face on the screen during the song. I know. I'm wacko about my passion. All in all, the concert was nice. I will definitely attend again.



Met Moster and some other familiar looking cosplayers during intermission. Believe me when I say that almost every other teenage girl in the toilet was discussing Cosfest costumes. Gah. Its so obvious how the cosplay community is getting increasingly mainstreamed. The attention is good. But when every other person is a Lavi, Allen, KHR character, Lelouch and CC... Things get boring. Fast. I'm not trying to be elitist, but could these people get a measure of pride? Just because you cant join an established team as a character of your choice does not mean that you have the right to overpopulate events with multiples. Spawns. Yech. Pick something more interesting? Dont just buy second hand costumes and commercially available costumes of the most epic series. Yeah, your costume is likely not to have errors. But what does it say about you? That you picked the easy way out? That you have no real pride as a cosplayer? What else does it say? I shant say it out here. Its for me to know and you to find out. After all, information, especially information that provides self awareness is the most expensive thing in the world. I dont run a charity dearies.



Moster, Viv, Kaen and I went for supper after the concert. The sheer amount Moster eats... No wonder he is a guy. One of the primary discerning criteria is the ability to consume copious amounts that will feed half a nation as a 'meal' and still maintain their body shape. Yeah. I am deadly jealous. It doesnt help that he has amazing complexion. Super fair to boot. Some days, I really wish I was born male. I can withstand NS. Its nothing much. Physically daunting in a way, but hey, its not THAT bad. Its not like the Korean and Iraqi NS. That would be tough. Took the last bus home with Viv. I find that I prattle a lot when I am with her. Not sure if its a good thing. Vivi, you should tell me if I'm getting irritating. I often realise it way to late. As usual, dawn comes too late. Still. Bus 857. Just like a month a go when we went for CATS. Had a happy time then too.



Queen just sent me my Dorothea photos. I promise to attempt to upload them soon. I know I still have loads of photos which need uploading. Most probably they will all go on Facebook. Yeah, Dorothea photos on Facebook is not a good idea. Maybe my deviantArt account. If I can somehow figure out how to use it. I dont want random people stealing my photos. At least on Facebook, I can limit who can see it. Or rather, I know how to use it. HAHA. I mean, its ok with Queen uses my photo as her wallpaper. I dont think any of my other friends will. Yes. I know you guys think I'm egoistic enough. HARHAR. Not funny. Meanwhile, you can jolly well stare at my MSN dp. Its the only one I wont mind my colleagues looking at. HAHA.



I wonder what things will be like in another 3 months. As of now, work is lessening. Japanese elementary 2 test is next week. My driving skills seem to be stuck at the beginner level. Belly dance lessons begin somewhere in mid June. I'm desperate to get my hands on my costumes. Oh yeah, this is a reminder about the boots issue. Please do give me an opinion.



Sigh. Somedays I wonder why there are so many stupid people out there with high paying jobs. I mean, they lack common sense. They arent imaginative. I think I know why. The academic type. They score in exams and are employed, although they have little social ability. Those who lose their wallets the moment they get off the airplane. Wait. I think they lose their money to those who commit daylight robbery. Ah. The simplicity of life for those who live in the world of numbers and definite rules. Where everything is black and white. Where new things are considered BAD. Oh well. We need stupid people in order for the world to function.
