Getting Ready To Go Out Now . . .
Didn't go Arab Street in the end cause I woke up late. >__< Anyhow, I only need to get the fabric for the Trimming (something Fake Silk Velvet, Red Color) and Black Matte Vinyl plus Fray Check from Arts Friend. Maybe if I hurry now, I can still rush to Arab Street to get them cause I'm suppose to meet Yazid at 2pm at Douby Ghaut MRT Station. Nah! Think I'm better off go and settle my payment for the Kinder Surprise Toys today at the Post Office as I need to change the money to USD first.

Okay, off now to change and get ready to go out.

I Got Lots To Do But I Can't Do It . . .
Cat said I can send in the scans of my Barbie-Arwen & Ken-Aragorn Doll now so she can choose and upload them to the website. Roughly had figured out how to Zip them (the Full Body ones are at least 2MB Big) but my bro playing "Gumball" on the other computer so I can't zip it till later tonight. >__<

Will have to print out some pictures of the Arwen Mourning Gown Trimings instead.

Tomolo, I'll try to go to Arab Street & Arts Friend in the morning before meeting Yazid and Hazel to go to Spotlight Plaza Singapura to get their materials. Sheesh! I really must start staying at home to do Kheldar's Boromir Costume, my Ringwraith Costumes and the Fellowship Cloaks.

Also must meet Shuhui to get her to put in more money into my PayPal account; think will put in USD150 again as I got to pay for the Ear Tips and some Harry Potter Patch soon.

Okay, off to print some photos.

Went Out On Friday . . . .
Went to the Shops at Ubi with Parish & Lizzy to look for some cloth for Yazid's Fellowship Cloak, his staff and my Cleansweep (or whatever) Handle. End up only getting 2m of this Polyester Chiffon-Like Fabric that scream "ARWEN BATTLE OUTFIT SLEEVES LINING!!!" (SGD6.60), 2 Wooden Poles (SGD10) and 1 Plier (SGD2).

Later, went to Chinatown to take my wig and a new bombshell fall on me when there is no Light Blue Wig or Hair Extensions for me in the box (they forget to make one after making another based on my sketch using the wrong color the previous month). >__< What I gotten was my Galadriel Wig and the Hair Extension for my Haldir/Rumil's Wig. Darn! Like they knew I'm planning to cancel my trip to ComicFiesta 2003 due to lack of time (I see no point going to KL on Fri night, spend Sat at CF03 and go home on Sun afternoon! @__@ Like this where got time to shop around to get the stuffs I had been looking forward to get like more Mangas, Anime VCDs, Anime Music CDs, LOTR/SW/HP Stuffs and "special design" cloth!) and now kinda Funds. >__< Still haven't told Sarah that I'm cancelling my trip cause I had been too busy to even go to Golden Mile to ask for the Bus Tickets and Hotel price. -__-

Hai . . .hope my Arwen Mourning Dress will be ready within 1-2 weeks this Dec. Then again, I got my Arwen Rose Dress and probably my Ringwraith (am probably getting promoted to Witchking cause Hassan want to come as Sauron on Dec 17th) and Haldir costumes to fall back on. -__^ Oh! Galadriel will be worn by Jeanette as I ran out of ideas what to use for her Galadriel Prologue Dress.

Anyhow, later today I'll have to rush to Chinatown to place the new order for my Vanilla Wig and Hair Extensions (this time, am using ONE piece of paper with the picture of the Character and the Drawing of the Hair Style ON the same page). May also rush to Arab Street to get some "Fake" Thai Silk Fabric for the backing of my Arwen Mourning Dress Trimmings and Arts Friends to get my Fray Check. Around afternoon must go to my aunt's house for Hari Raya Puasa Visit and her youngest's son birthday celebration.

Okay, got to finish reading the mails from LOTR_Costume and then sleep so can wake up early tomolo.

Got A Couple Of Stuffs To Settle . . . .
Got to go Ang Mo Kio Central later to send my payment for the LOTR-FOTR Kinder Surprise Toys I gotten from eBay (USD20 plus shipping).

Then get some food for Arifin from Long John Silver followed by some vegetable shopping at NTUC Supermarket.

Hope by the time I get home, still got time to start on the rest of the Fellowship Cloaks (will do 2 more with 1 neck width 1" more than recommanded) and process some of the scans I did from the Lord Of The Rings: Weapons and Warfare Book.

Hmm, maybe I can ask Aisyah to see if there are any of those Greenish Velvet in Melbourne which I can use to make my Arwen Ceremonial Dress next year. Hasn't spotted Velvet in that color yet here. Wait! I'll need 8 metres so that means they can only cost maximum of SGD12/m! O__O

OMG! @__@ So Long!
Has written anything since last Sun; I been very, very lazy. -__-

Anyhow, last Sun, went to Clark Quay to look for stuffs and ended up getting another Easterling Action Figure making me on the way to create a Section of Easterlings as I now got 3 MIB. O__O Wish I can do the same for the Prologue High Elven Soldier but they ARE like the Gold among the LOTR Action Figures and Prologue Elrond like Diamonds. It cost me SGD25.

Also gotten the PlayAlong Ringwraith with Stealth/Horse for SGD15 and FINALLY the Applause Darth Maul Miniture (meant as a Christmas Tree Decor) for SGD25.

Later, saw Faiz at the shop he's working at and spend the next 1 hour talking LOTR and the stuffs inside my Lord Of The Rings: Weapons & Warfare Book.

Then, rushed to Cathay Orchard Cineleisure to get 25 Dec 18th 8.10pm Tickets for ROTK. Hope I CAN find 25 people for the tickets or I'll be in deep doodoo aka Bathan Poodoo. >__<

On Monday, didn't do much. Tried to tidy up the house for Hari Raya Puasa but it just seems difficult cause the stuffs clogging the Living Room is my Dad's. @__@ After Maghrib, went downstair to Pakcik Muslimat's house for the Kenduri and came home around 10pm after eating and interacting with Pakcik Muslimat's and Pakcik Hassan's Family.

Tuesday was Hari Raya Puasa and my aunts with their family came in the afternoon. Abang Moksin also came towards the evening and we had nice conversations. His Youngest Daughter (aka his first Child; the older 2 are his Step-Children) was very talketive and his youngest son a bit loyar buruk but they are both cute and we had a good laugh everytime they commented. XD Oh! His Stepdaughter is in SMU/SIM 2nd year while Stepson I can't remember ('O' Level I think). His Daughter in Primary 4 while son Pri 3.

Today, did a lot of scanning from the book Lord Of The Rings: Weapons and Warfare. If I had the choice, I'll scan all the pictures applicablen to my Costuming needs but it hurts pressing the book with my fingers (after 1 scanning and they are numb and locked in the flat position) and the patients I must have while waiting for the pictures to be reduced its resolution so I just scan the important ones. Remember that I don't scan at 100% unless I'm selling it off so it take quite a lot of time to settle 1 scan. Will process them another time when I'm free. I got lots of LOTR Stuffs to do rite now till Dec 17th. >__< Still wishing I can slip in part of Haldir's/Rumil's March Warden Suit tho' I won't end up as them till I loose that darn 30kg and successfully do Binding! >__< I WILL NOT INSULT THEM LIKE SOME IDIOTS DID OR IS GONNA DO! -__^

I would recommend that when you see Lord Of The

tissues ready because it looks like you're
going to need them and probably more than once.
The only other advice I can give you is: dont
wear too much make-up, especially mascara and
see if you can bring along a shoulder to cry
on.

Quick Notes . . .Quick Notes . . .
I had gotten my 4 LOTR Doujinshi yesterday and yet to "read" through it properly. Will leave Positive Feedbacks to the seller when I get home later.

LOTR Marathon and Dec 18th ROTK Tickets at Shaw Lido are SOLD OUT just a day after it went on sale at the counter! >__< This is TOO unnatural, way to unnatural to happen in Singapore when 4 cinemas are having the Marathon! I bet Scarplers are at work. >__<

Check Cathay Orchard Cineleisure and they say they got lots of tickets left so I'm going later to get the 8.30+pm one. That also means the costume parade is delayed to 6pm and we are going in the opposite direction. Hmm, meet at Orchard MRT Station, outside Popular there like what was done for the Harry Potter OotP Outing I guess.

Gotten the Pyrex 500ml Container for the Kuih Raya from Takashimaya. Cost me SGD47.50 for the 5 and the 1.5L one was gotten free. Chosen the Plum Design as the Spices of Life design color too light while the Vegetables ones too Kitchen-like. Will get the money from my dad slowly as usual. -__-

Also finally gotten the Lord Of The Rings: Weapons and Warfare Softcover book from Borders that Asra had helped me to put aside. Didn't intended to get it as I want the Hardcover one but the girl at the counter kinda insisted after I ask to flip through the book. >__< Man! I still prefer Kinokuniya Free Browsing Policy over their sealed books.

Then at 5.45pm, join some members of mIRC Channel #starwars for some chitchating at Marina Square KFC and then Suntec to break fast. Nope, didn't get the meet Nick yet tho' Val is still talking about Anal Probe. o__O

Okay, got to get ready to get the ROTK Tickets, drop by Clark Quay to try my luck and get more stuffs from the Bookshop for Hari Raya as the Uncle and family going on a week or so holiday from this Mon.

Tonight, put the Kuik Raya into the container and do whatever else needed to this house. @__@

Quick Notes . . .
I gotten The Two Towers: Extended Edition yesterday for SGD139.00 plus 1 Free Double Sided X-Men 2 Poster (he insisted!) from Laserflair Ang Mo Kio Central.

Barbie and Ken had been displayed on my Bookcase. Now I really need to get some plastic to cover the bookcase to protect them.

Need to get the tickets for Dec 17th Marathon, ROTK Screening and Dec 18th ROTK Screening ASAP. Will check listing at Shaw Lido tomolo.

25 more days to ROTK and I still haven't finish a single thing! O__O

Gone to eat some Dengdeng now. -__^

I GOT IT! ^__^
I had gotten my Arwen Barbie and Aragorn Ken dolls from Magma Heritage yesterday evening. Gave the shop a call to confirm that the Dolls had arrived and the seller told me to come after 6pm but I managed to bargain for 5.30pm. Arrived exactly at 5.35pm and took a couple of minutes to choose the set I like the most. Gotten one based on the nicest box (!) but only realized that the sword had a little stain while in the MRT but heck care cause the Sword Ken/Aragorn held isn't Anduril.

While in the bus on the way home, took out the Cert to keep in my file and held the dolls for the first time. ^__^ At home, did some Computer Cam Photography and have a look at Barbie/Arwen's Feet.

Will do the full Scanning tomorrow; I may even ended up stripping the pair a bit to understand better how their costumes are shaped. -__^

Oh! Am going to recommand Faiz to do this Costume instead of the Mordor one as it's a lot simplier and I may be able to do certain parts for him cheaply and lent him certain parts. Will tell him this Thur if I do go for the #starwars Outing at 5pm.

On a different note, from Thurs onwards, I must force myself to go Internet Deprive 22 hours each day so I can do the LOTR Costumes. Hopefully, I can complete each costume within 1 week and less, before Dec 13th. -__-

Oh, Himi & Lizzy, if you are reading this, just want to tell you that I got something to tell you about somebody's attempt to get the "Best Group" Award. *Roll Eyes* Will tell you when we next meet. -__^ In the meantime, I'm gonna purposely forget about their proposal. ]:-) Muwhahahahahahahaahahahaa!!!!

Okay, got to go and Sahur now.

Ps: Of anyone need any help with their LOTR Costume, just SMS me or e-mail me okay? I'll try to finish the Boromir & Ringwraith Costumes in the next 2 weeks so have about 2 more weeks to spare to do the props, others' "sponsored" costumes and maybe even start on my Haldir/Rumil March Warden Costume and Rumil's Elven Archer Armor. -__^

Hmmm, think will talk about Durability & Costumer's Workmanship vs Cheap, Fast & Half-Pass-Six Results another day . . . .if I remember! -__^

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
AOL had released the full version of the ROTK Final Song "Into The West". I really gonna look like Mourning Arwen this Dec while my Ringwraith Robes (and the other 8's) will be used as napkins for others to wipe their tears. -__-

Here's the Lyrics, courtesy of TORN:

Lay down
your sweet and weary head
Night is falling,
you have come to journey's end.
Sleep now,
and dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling
from across the distant shore.

Why do weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
all of your fears will pass away,
safe in my arms
you're only sleeping.

What can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.

Dawn will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass.

Hope fades
into the world of night
through shadows falling
out of memory and time.
Don't say,
"We have come now to the end."
White shores are calling
you and I will meet again.

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.

What can can you see
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
a pale moon rises --
The ships have come to carry you home.

And all will turn
to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.

Okay, Here Comes All The Report Starting From Today Backwards . . .

Sunday, 16th Dec
Went to Clark Quay again today in hope that SpawnAsia had gotten the Wave 2 and above of the ROTK Action Figures but it was in vain. >__<

Anyhow, gotten a couple of stuffs when I thot I wouldn't"
- 6 Sabertooth Games Figures for SGD24 (SGD4/pc)
2 High Elf Warrior-Purple, Easterling TM Spearman-Orange, Haradrim Warrior-Orange, Nazgul-Orange & Guard of the Fountain Court-Orange)
Looking at the list at the Official Site, I still need to get Eowyn, Elrond, Boromir, Arwen, Lothlorien Elf Ranger, Lothlorien Elf Archer, High Elf Spearman, High Elf Archer, Witch King and Ringwraith (regardless of dials color as I'm collecting and not playing) to fulfil my wants to collect only those related to the Elven Soldiers, March Warden, Ringwraiths, Easterlings and anything else that I'm interested in doing or had done.
- Games Workshop's The Two Towers: Heroes of Helm's Deep for SGD30 (from original SGD40)
It's unpainted and unassembled so I'm in no hurry to open it and display them on my bookcase.
- TOMY Star Wars Figuring, Darth Maul vs Qui-Gone Jinn Scene SGD5
Spare Piece or gift to fellow Sithlings?
- TTT Easterling SGD25
Spare piece and as I said, I'll get it there and there as long as it's not more than SGD25, from the original SGD16.90.

Other than that, saw a set of 8 AOTC Japan Pepsi Bottle Caps for SGD9.90 or 9 for SGD15.90. Didn't get either of the set cause money is tight and am in no hurry to get them. Maybe I'll get them when I next go to Clark Quay IF I got SGD9.90+ to spare.

While at the same shop, this Caucasian was telling his Girlfriend that the ROTK Action Figures sold at the shop are steeply price (which is true at SGD35-45 each) and that he can get it from TRU Forum Shopping Mall for just SGD16.90. Well, I agree about the ridiculous pricetag but I wonder when was the last time he went to TRU Forum cause the last time I check (earlier in Oct when I gotten the Cauldrons), they are still stuck at the last wave of TTT Action Figures and won't get the ROTK ones until the TTT one is cleared. And if SpawnAsia haven't gotten the ROTK Wave 2, then other shops won't get it either. >__< Anyhow, I'm sure someone who got money to burn will get the ROTK Action Figures from that shop; King Elessar was already missing from the rack. -__-

Now that reminded me; I need to get my Arwen Barbie and Aragorn Ken doll later today if the shipment had indeed arrived at Magma Heritage. Will call them up once the shop opens to confirmed. -__^

Later, dropped by the Chinatown Wig shop to get my Wigs but found out that it hasn't arrived yet. The aunty only called me up to confirmed that the Light Blue Wig is mine. -__- Now got to wait till end of this month to get my Vanilla, Galadriel Wigs and Hair Extensions for my Haldir Wig.

When I got home, everyone had left for my Aunty house to berbuka Puasa so I enjoy breaking my fast alone. Watch Simpson a bit before going online.


Saturday, 15th Dec
Went to the LOTR Meetup and only 3 people turned up; Envinyata/Yiling, Damnation/Fariz & his cousin. -__- We first went to Caeser's Gun Gallery and then to Coffee Beans.

Later, I did some shopping at Carrefour and got home by taxi >__< cause my bro wants his food ASAP after Buka.


Monday, 10th Dec
Went to Magma Heritage to get my Arwen Barbie and Aragorn Ken doll but it was delayed so have to get it on the following Monday.

Ended up doing some shopping at Cold Storage instead.


Sunday, 9th Dec
As I had posted before, went to Clark Quay to hunt for some stuffs that I want. I have no idea what to wear so I ended up throwing on my Trinity Trenchcoat. Hehehee, a lot of people recognized me as at least from the Matrix. ^__^

Gotten Applause's The Ring Of Barahir and Vilya for SGD45 altogether and upon arriving home, opened The Ring Of Barahir to try for size (it's said to be Size 7). Hmmm, if I can loose some weight around my fingers, I can wear the ring easily on my Pointer Finger like Aragorn did in the movie. My fingers seems to be Size 8-9 currently. >__< Anyhow, when I'm gonna have it with my Arwen, think just gonna hang it on a Chain to be like the Novel Arwen. -__^


Saturday, 8th Dec
Attended the Singapore Star Wars FanForce The Matrix Revolution Outing.

Went to Danny's house at 2.45pm with Yazid and his girlfriend, Hazel to settle Yazid's Trenchcoat first and waited at his house till about 5.30pm. O__O

Did I Mentioned That I Had Gotten . . .
My Neo and Trinity Shades from Replica Collection on Wednesday? The Neo one is a little let down as the frame is very thin but I'm a relatively careful person so it'll survive. The Trinity one is great. Had e-mailed them asking how much I owned them and to what ID I should pay up to. -__^

Hai . . .I owned a lot of report. Will try to write them out tomolo or the day after. The point is, I'm trying to get away from the Internet so I can do my costumes and props. Will try.

Ps: My Notebook Wallpaper now is that of a Gollum-like Frodo. I think I missed my Darth Maul wallpaper that has his scary face covering 70% of the screen. -__-
Pss: Am on LOTR Wallpaper Making Spree.
Psss: Must do the same with Star Wars soon
Pssss: Why am I smelling food at 2am in the morning? Who's cooking bread and roast chicken and so many other good food? O__O
Psssss: I Need to go to sleep now.

I Had Found It!!!!!! ^__^
I had found the MTV Alternate Council of Elrond and The Two Towers Teaser Trailer/Sneak Preview in FOTR:EE DVDs! ^__^ Had tried to carry out the instructions on how to access them and they works! ^__^ Am so happy now. -__^

The MTV Alternate Council of Elrond was hilarous! XD I'm laughing my ass off as I watch it and it just reminded me of what the Past Century Boneoman did to his little brother. XD

The Two Towers Teaser Trailer/Sneak Preview bring back memories when I first saw it online after being given the link by a member of sg_starwars Mailing List. And this is the trailer that first show the Arwen Blood Red Dress which I later fallen in love with and suppose to own by Dec 2002 (Stupid Ex-Seamstress! >__< ).

Heheeee, now can delete that slow Teaser Trailer that I downloaded from WotR.Net and watch the trailer in all its glory. -__^

Okay, got to put in more character photos into the LOTR: The Singapore Project 2003 Website now. Hopefully, I can officially launch it by end of next week so more people (minus a buncha idiots X-( ) can see it and join my team for Dec 18th. ^__^

Hehehee, I think the one LOTR Armor that I want to own of all is Gil-Galad's. -__^

You are mRNA. You're brilliant, full of important,
interesting information and you're a great
friend to the people you care about. You may
have sides to you that no one understands. But
while you understand more than most people,
you're only half-there most of the time.

Am Tired Right Now So Some Quick Notes. . .
I had finally own Applause's The Ring Of Barahir and Vilya. Cost me SGD45 for both; should had bargain for SGD40 instead. >__< Gotten it from TFH Bukit Timah Stall.

Will open The Ring Of Barahir later so I can wear it with my Arwen Dress later. Yes, doing it if being Book Accurate. -__^

And no, I'll still not pay SGD35 for ROTK Battle Aragorn/Elesser or SGD38 for King Elesser Action Figures.

I Trashed Trinity Tonight . . . .
Okay, frankly speaking, I wasn't really Trinity for the FFSG The Matrix Revolution tonight.

Choose not to take out my Mock Turtleneck T-Shirt as I know that stupid scar will show up near the collar area and the weather today was also cold. And I didn't get my Trinity Shades from Replica-Collection.Com today either (are they really serious about had sent out my Neo and Trinity Shades before I can pay them? O__O I thot, pay first, then get it item. What? They follow Kedai Emas Kampung Melayu Slogan is it? "Pakai Dulu, Bayar Kemudian". Anyhow, since I'm kinda a honest person and I still got the cash, I'll pay up as soon as my shades arrive this Mon or Tues) while me wearing my Track Pants & Combat Boots, and my hair isn't combed or sleak properly. So I just be "one of those Ship Crews" although everyone was calling me Trinity tonight. -__^

Anyhow, Revolution was good and I have to force myself to go for second rounds again in my NEW Neo Coat. Yes, Precious; I now LOVE both my Trinity Coat and my new Neo Coat (Version 1.1 actually). Will write more about what happened just now (Sat) later today, probably after Berbuka Puasa. Lots to report actually, especially that hardly anyone actually read my Blog -__^ and this place is the place where I pour anything except my Darkest Secrets (like why I AM Jessica C. Power ^__^ ). Learned lots of stuffs today and they are to be kept as something between us ONLY.

Oh! Because Danny drag us later than expected -__-, didn't get to get my Barbie Arwen & Ken Aragorn. >__< Will do it on Mon (early morning?) and quickly get home to scan them and also a few more fabric swatchs. Oh great! Make the scanning on Tue; I still got to go to Ubin to find some cheapo but appropiate fabric for Yazid's Fellowship Cloak. -__-

Will talk more much later today or tomorrow.

Where Is My Shades . . .Where Is My Shades . . .
Hope it arrive before noon tomolo or I'll be the very inaccurate Trinity. >__< Already don't have the pants or boots or gloves and hair and now the wrong Shades. Why can't the company reply faster and so can send it to me earlier? No, no way I'm gonna pay SGD30-39.90 for that Rubies Shades. Not fair if I buy a real sunglasses for SGD15 and pay SGD39.90 for a toy one rite?

So tomolo, I must:
1. BRING Tickets x11, Doll Receipt, Black Tie, Camera and 1 extra film, Tissues, Wallet, Cards, Namecards, Mirror, Face Powder, Measuring Tape, Notepad, Pens, Black Glove, 3 Revolvers, Sewing Kit, Trinity Coat, Nep Shades;
2. WEAR Black Track Pants, Long Sleeves Mock-Turtleneck T-Shirt, Boots
3. CARRY the stuffs in a small bag with coat in Plastic Bag. -__^

Must bring as little stuffs as possible as I'm carrying also the Barbie Arwen & Ken Aragorn Dolls. -__^ And if The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare by Chris Smith is already out at Borders or Kino, I may also buy it there and there. ^__^



Oh! Sun must go and get my Vanilla and Galadriel Wig. There goes my SGD58. >__<

Got to go through my e-mails now and do a few other stuffs before catching a quick nap before sahur.

Later Today, I Must. . .
1. Get Midget No. 1's Shades from Bugis Village
2. Go To UBIN to find some cheapo fabric for Midget No. 2's Fellowship Cloak
3. Snap photos of me in my Ver. 1.1 Neo Coat and pre-trying of my Trinity one
4. Get home in time for breaking Fast
5. Pack stuffs for tomolo (3 Revolvers, 1 Black Tie, 2 Shades, Money, Cinema Tickets, Barbie Doll Receipt, Camera & Film, Handphone, T-shirt to wear on the way and in the cinema, Makeup, Clefairy & Haldir or Padme & Maul . . . o__O )

Okay, got to catch a quick nap before Sahur at 4am.

Ps: I had won another LOTR Doujinshi! ^__^

I'm Singing In The Shower . . . .Singing In The Shower. . . . ^__^
I had received the 12 buttons for my Arwen Mourning Gown from Cat today. Am sooo happy now. ^__^ Will e-mail her tonight to say that I had received my buttons safely.

Comments on the buttons, it's pretty gold IMHO. I thot that it should have more of the Antique look to it but it doesn't. Well, it's okay; come worse to worse, I'll like leave it to the elements to give a more antique look. -__^

Will scan them and the cloth swatch for my costumes tomolo. I'm starting to do more on my Costuming (yes, C-O-S-T-U-M-I-N-G and not C-O-S-P-L-A-Y-I-N-G) Website so will want to put on more stuffs in the pages. Will also have to analyse what others had told me and give the website a proper Elvish (Quenya or Sindarin) name. Frankly, I think the name "Forsaken Innocent" kinda reflective of me who in my early days, had forsaken part of my childhood just to grow up (and of course, also due to my early puberty >__< ). Oh! I must remember to create the Icon and small banners for my Trinity Costume cause technically, I got her.

As for my Trinity, in the last e-mail, the Shades sellers said they had sent out the shades on Fri (without me paying for it first? o__O ) so it should arrive around this Fri or Sat if they also used USPS Airmail. Well, if I don't get my Shades by Sat noon, then I have no choice but to wear my Neo-like shades. For the Gloves, will just wear my Black Satin Opera Gloves. Unless I suddenly want to pull apart the White one which is damaged and use it as a template for my Vinyl Gloves. -__^ No, I'll not pay SGD50 to have a pair made by No. 1 Costumes Costumes.

Okay, got to go to the shop now and get some stuffs. My PODCard is ZERO now anyway. -__-

Hmm, feel like just throwing on my Neo Coat to go to the shop. -__^

What Was I Thinking? O__O
On Monday, I did something very, very, very wrong . . . . O__O

Will be a "Proud" Owner of Barbie Arwen and Ken Aragorn this Sat. It cost SGD90, SGD20 less than the listed price and gotten it from Magma Heritage.

Strangely, my Finance Officer Mini Maul is jumping with joy about the 2 addition to the family. @__@

There goes the Cambridge Diet or my Elegent Gothic Lolita Dress. >__<

Will take and show pictures more later. Celebro acting weird again cause had been on since this evening.

Report For Sun, 2nd Nov . . .
Went to Clark Quay (am trying to make it a weekly affair) to look for whatever I need or can use. Arrived at around 3.30pm as I had to settle lots of e-mail and reply to posts online. -__-

While there, did the usual walk through and gotten the following items in sequence:
- 2001 Burger King's FOTR Figuring Arwen SGD3(5)
It came with a different Arwen Card inside, No. 24 of 27. The one I gotten last week came with No. 22 of 27.
- 12" GI Joe Blue Sleeveless Coverall, 12" Strider or Legolas' Fellowship Cloak (in Green o__O ) and 12" Zam Wesell Rifle SGD15 (SGD5 each)
All 3 for Maul tho' Clefairy is the one been playing with the Rifle. Anyhow, I'll need the Rifle later for my Zam Wesell Rifle making (when is Caeser's gonna offer that 50% Discount of Vintage Rifles & Guns again so I can also use my SGD50 Voucher?). Thot of getting more like the Death Star Trooper's Helmet and Body Chest or Anakin/Luke Lightsabre or AT-ST Driver Helmet etc etc but the seller refused to lower the price of the items even when I buy a lot so had to take what're important first.
- TOMY Star Wars Figuring, Darth Maul vs Qui-Gone Jinn Scene SGD5
Finally gotten the set. SGD5 from the original SGD9.90 and able to get the figure I wanted was great. -__^
- Loose 2001 Burger King's FOTR Figuring Gimli & 1 FOTR DVD Postcard SGD3
I forget that I already got a MIB/MIP Gimli at home. @__@
- 2001 Burger King's FOTR Figuring Strider, Saruman, Ringwraith and 1 Loose Psyduck Figuring SGD11
Tried to bargain the BK Figuring as each suppose to cost SGD5 each and gotten all 3 for SGD10. Psyduck was SGD1. So that means I now got 5 of that 2001 Burger King's FOTR Figurings with 2 having doubles.
- TOMY Pokemon Reversible Doll Clefairy SGD3(SGD4.90)
Now Clefairy got 7 "apprentices". ^__^
- Japan Pepsi Bottle Caps No. 48 Geonosian & No. 31 RIC-920 SGD4
Joining the other 4 that I already have on display.
- 2 FOTR DVD Postcards, 2 Harry Potter Postcards & 1 PotC Postcard SGD2
Buy 4 Get 1 Free.
- SGD20 Deposit for 6 Rubies Elven Brooch
With The Falcon Hanger Bukit Timah Outlet.

Other than what I had bought, I also wanted to get The Matrix Rubies Trinity Shades but SGD30 (for SGD39.90) is too much for something so Halloween Quality. Anyhow, told them that should I really need it, I'll come down to their shop this Fri or Sat to get it.

Also saw this necklace (from Korea) priced at SGD12.90 that will do for Eowyn's Necklace but none of them has Green Gems so gave it a go.

At a shop, saw them selling LOTR Action figures:
ROTK Gandalf SGD35
ROTK Eowyn Armor SGD35
ROTK Aragorn/Elesser SGD35
ROTK Eowyn K.O SGD45
TTT Easterlings SGD35
FOTR Ringwraith SGD45

Gave all of them a go cause too overly priced. If it had been SGD25 each, I may get it there and there and if SGD30 I may consider if I desperately need it but not when it goes over SGD30. I'll rather buy another LOTR Action Figure with that money.

When I get back to AMK, gotten NIVEA VISAGE Whitening Day Care Pack for SGD8.90 (discount from SGD9.90), NIVEA VISAGE Whitening Deodorant & Facial Squares for the Toner. Must start on the attempt to get fairer and clearer Complexion tomolo onwards till they runs out. Will get the Loreal one one bottle by one bottle since it cost a LOT.

Okay, got to go and sleep now. I can barely open my eyes now. -__-

Reminder To Self Should I Forget About It When I'm Done . . .
1) To thank those who had helped me in the construction of my costumes
2) To thank those who gave me encouragement to continue with my projects; either by e-mail, SMS, forums, ML or physically/locally.
3) To thank the shops that had helped me obtain my materials or help me make my costumes.

Why am I saying this? Because of Moomba's reply to my post about her egoistic post:
"hmm.... i dun remember whether i took that info from somewhere or not actually, so i can't give any credit to anyone. most sites i researched on didn;t TEACH you exactly how to make wings, so most of it were my original ideas. it took alot of brainstorming, that much i have to say. there're more sites on 'Selling wings' than 'Making Wings'. and most reccomended using wires for the wing base --- i didn't"

What a SAD thing to hear, isn't it? I gave her all the trade secrets I had learned and there she is saying she figured out everything herself. For it to come out of the mouth of someone who is 18 years old (17 when I offered all the advices and tips to her) is very, very sad. -__-

I still remember who (Sentinel) recommanded to me to use Acrylic Sheets and Door Hinges in the (future) Contruction of my Adam Kadmon Wings. I still remember who told me the way to make the wigs a lot light (Serene) by using Plastic Poster Board as base. I still remember Stephine Princess offering me advice on what I should not do based on her experiences making her wings. I still can remember where (Cosplay.Com Forum) I read on using Muslin to cover the base of the wings that'll get covered by the feathers. I still had stash away the links to websites that offer tips on the contruction of wings.

And since those people hasn't crosses me, I will give credits to them when I'm done with my Wings.

Same goes with my costumes too. Will find the names that had directly or indirectly offer me tips and reports on how my costumes should turn out into.

Maybe it's just that many local cosplayers are getting too egoistic these days. >__< Or they choose not to pay attention to knowledge based research while doing their costumes and props. Even when I asked Bright, Rinka, Stephy Snowheart & Yuanie what they used for their costumes, I don't get as precise answer as compared to when people asked what I did and what I used for mine. I'm too much a Costumer, ain't I? -__^

Frankly, the one thing that keep me going and helping others who I think will appreciate it, is my love for being caring & friendly, my love towards Costuming and what Teresa Hsu said in True Courage when it was shown a few days ago. -__-

Hope to close this case with the starting of Nov and me starting to fast.

On a happier note, I had gotten back my Neo Reloaded and Trinity Reloaded Coats. Turned out good enough for me (since I'm using a normal seamstress) and will don them for The Matrix Revolution Premieres here. Hmm, I don't think I can wait till Nov 8th to see Revolution so maybe I'll be itchy and get a ticket for Nov 6th early afternoon at Lido or Orchard Cineplex too. Hmm, wonder if I can try to exchange the extra ticket I got now for that show. But I'll be going alone -__-

Will see how later . . . . .
