Someone Finally Made It.....
The Black Senator Queen Amidala Kimono(?) Gown. Saw some shots at Cosplay.com and I'm very impress. But the Underdress for the 2 Handmaiden look a bit wrong in term of the material as the original looks like Thai Silk.

Okay, off to sew some more tunics, paint a banner and maybe even finish off the bottom of my Maroon Cloak.

Jean Posted This In The Forum For LOTR Show Hosts....
"Gil-galad was a rock-and-roll King.
Of him the drummers sadly sing:
Elvis, as he was know by men,
(He'd change his name every now and then).
 
His hair was tall, his twang was buff,
But no one would say his style was gruff;
the countless chanting fans would cry:
"Hooray for the King! Our favorite guy!"
 
And some say now he passed away;
As King, he wasn't meant to stay;
But I know better, (I'm so smart)
I saw him yesterday at K-Mart!"

LOL! XD Now I wonder if there is any teasing about his big nose (which was partially inherited by Haldir ;P )

AAAAARRRRRHHHHHHH!!!!! @__@

I can't remember anymore how many versions of the Palantir was made before WETA used a wooden ball with thick layer of laquer for the movie one.

Of all things, I DIDN'T wrote it down in the Show Host Manual nor my booklet.  >__<

SOMEONE SAVE ME!!!!!! >__<

Imagine This. . . . .

Anarion in an Ads for Nike shoes. XD

Every since I change to Nike's Orcs Fighter, I can outrun all the enemies in a huff.

JUST DO IT!

 

What inspired me for this? Well, the Behind-The-Scene Photo of the actor for Anarion wearing this Grey-Brown Sports Shoes with Orange Laces with his Anarion Armor. -__^

 

Now if only I can find the time to make the Ads.

 

Am busy scanning pictures from The Art Of. . . . Books for my Costuming Website and anything else. -__-

FUCK THAT DANIEL Surferdude017!
I didn't get labelled as Arwen, Ringwraith, Elven Archer, Boromir etc Raper/Molester for nothing! X-(

Of course I'm sure the shape of the Requeim Dress Sleeves is almost semi-circle!

He does nothing but argue with everyone's theory and keep saying he's rite! X-(

Revenge Of The Sith. . . . . .

O__O

Full story, READ HERE.

No, I don't think I want to read it as I'm trying to be spoiler free. And I'm still buried deep in Lord Of The Rings.

Haven't been reading Star Wars Insider for a year more or even gotten the last couple issues. Let me be amazed when I turned up at the Charity Premiere in my Armor. . . . .

Yes, I cannot escape my roots when Maul is making faces at me when I enter my room and Maul 12" sleeping beside me hugging his girlfriend, Padme Naberries Buddies and my SW Costumes hanging on my door!

When I Looked Back. . . . .
I wonder if I'll rather live my life as it is now or live the life of Eagle Power. To be just plain 'old human or to be different.

Just some random thots after watching something related today. . . . . .

I Will Not Do A Website Report On Citadel Guard. . . . .I Will Not Do A Website Report On Citadel Guard. . . . .
 
Was recommanding to Cat to label the photos of the Citadel Guard properly and she started asking how to split up the Gondorian Armor page at ACS-LOTR so way I got quoting from LOTR:Weapons & Warfare and started slightly explaining about that Armor.

"....The Citadel Guards carried the weapons of the regular soldier -sword abd spear - but like the Fountain Guard they had noshield....
 
The Citadel Guards wore the same outfit as ordinaryGondorian soldiers, but this was enhanced with a gold-edged blacktunic worn under the cuirass and a black cloak with gold embroidery;these would have indicated to all their elevated position within themilitary structure, as would their helmet, which featured a bronzestar device on their noseguard and the brass wings that had beenriveted on their sides...."
(Page 160-161, LOTR:Weapons and Warfare)

Now itchy to also do a page on the Citaden Guard and later the costume. . . .

French Lace, Toybiz & Gryffindor Phone Pouch. . . .
Went to Arab Street and Chinatown with Fiona on Sat afternoon. First we went into most of the shops before No. 99, Arab Street to look for White/Ivory Silk Paisley-Pattern Fabric for her Eowyn Shieldmaiden Outfit Chemise. Later, I showed her the lace I was thinking of getting for my Arwen Coronation Dress and after much debating and refering back to the reference pictures, bought the Light Green one. There goes my SGD50. -__-

After that, continue looking for the Paisley-Pattern Fabric and found a nice one going for SGD20/m. It's will be perfect shun for the color (which can be fixed with a dye job) but there is silver threads forming patterns on it. Decide that it's removable and tried to get a good price (trying out luck only) and got SGD15/m if Fiona really get 10m. Later, went to another shop and found the same fabric and the shop owner offered it for SGD100 if 10m is gotten. He even gave Fiona a sample and it's currently with me to be scanned.

We then proceed to more shops and I managed to show Fiona the Antique Gold Trimming I'm planning to get for the Arwen Cranberry Gown. Later, after getting 5 pieces of Mutton Murtabak, went to Raffles' Hospital Cafeteria to have dinner.

By late evening, we then took the train to Chinatown to check out for more options for the Chemise. Saw a cheaper alternative at SGD6/yard but it's bright white (probably due to the fact that it's Polyester Satin). Will see if Fiona managed to tea-dye it an Ivory color. -__^

I then dropped by Kinokuniya Ngee Ann City alone to get my Gothic Lolita Mook (Magazine Book) and English Fruit Basket Manga. Also gotten Galaxie cause there is a poster picture of Draco Malfoy and it shows the length of the school robe when down (had scanned it and will load it to my HP Reference Folder at Photobucket).

 
For yesterday (Sun), went down to Clark Quay to check out for any bargain. SpawnAsia had sold most of their LOTR Stuffs; only left 3 boxes of ROTK Fellowship Set (Discounted to SGD79.90), Aragorn & Legolas Posable Dolls o__O, Gollum Dolls and a couple of the Beast-Rider sets (SGD18.90 from SGD29.90 O__O ). Outside from Rebels Base I spotted K.O./Blue Shieldmaiden Eowyn and Arwen Chase Dress going for lower prices and ended up spending my last SGD40 on both of them (Eowyn SGD18 and Arwen SGD22 from SGD25).

Met Jean around 6.30pm and she bought for me a Gryffindor Handphone Pouch from UK (Thank you so much, Jean! ^__^ ). We then walked to Far East Plaza where she bought Anduril Miniture. Dropped by Simply Toys to check out stuffs and then we had coffee at Coffee Bean. Jean and I started talking cock and Jean was telling me humorous stories from her school days. XD

By 9pm, we left Coffee Bean and I made my way back to Plaza Singapura to get the Mushroom Swiss Double Burgers my brother order. Then, on the way back, guess who I saw O__O That MC guy from the LOTR Exhibition Roadshow; doing a roadshow for a shaver or something. Thot of dropping by to say "Hi!" but he was busy talking and I was in a rush to get home so leave it out.

Ringwraith No. 2 At Your Service. . . .

From The Thain's Book

Khamûl

Second-in-command of the Nazgul. Khamul is the only one of the Nazgul whose original name is known. He was once an Easterling - a Man from the far eastern lands of Middle-earth. Khamul was given one of the Nine Rings by Sauron and he was enslaved to Sauron's will and became one of the wraiths known as the Nazgul. The Nine first appeared as Nazgul around the year 2251 of the Second Age.

Khamul was one of the most powerful Nazgul, second only to the Lord of the Nazgul. He was readily able to sense the presence of the One Ring, although in daylight he became confused and diminished.

In the year 2951 of the Third Age, Sauron sent Khamul as his lieutenant to command the stronghold of Dol Guldur in Mirkwood. One or two of the other Nazgul were sent with Khamul.
In March of 3018, Aragorn brought Gollum to Mirkwood to be held captive by the Elvenking Thranduil. Khamul's spies later learned of this and Khamul sent word to Sauron around late April. On June 20, Orcs from Dol Guldur attacked the Elves. Gollum escaped from captivity, but he managed to elude the Orcs as well.

That same day, the Lord of the Nazgul began the hunt for the One Ring and the land of the Hobbits known as the Shire. On July 22, Khamul met the Lord of the Nazgul in the Field of Celebrant. Khamul reported Gollum's escape and said that there were no Hobbits living in the Vales of the Anduin. The Nazgul continued to Isengard and were directed north to Eriador.
On September 22, Khamul and three other Nazgul entered the Shire. Khamul went to Hobbiton seeking someone by the name of Baggins. He spoke to Gaffer Gamgee, who pointed him in the direction of Buckland. Khamul pursued Frodo Baggins and his companions down the Stock Road to the Woody End on September 24 and nearly caught them several times. On the second occasion, Khamul fled when he heard the singing of Elves led by Gildor Inglorion.
Khamul continued his pursuit the next day - September 25 - and the Hobbits saw him on a ridge high above them and later heard his cry as he summoned another Nazgul. Khamul then went to Bamfurlong, the home of Farmer Maggot and offered the farmer gold in exchange for news of Baggins, but Maggot refused. That evening Khamul saw the Hobbits crossing the Brandywine River using the Bucklebury Ferry, but he was unable to pursue them across the deep moving water.

Nothing further is known about Khamul's individual actions during the War of the Ring. After the unsuccessful attack on Crickhollow, the Nazgul left the Shire and rejoined the others. They pursued Frodo to Weathertop and on to the Ford of Bruinen, where they were washed away in a flood created by Elrond on October 20. They returned to Mordor and assumed new forms and were mounted on flying steeds called Fell Beasts. The Nazgul took part in the siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, where the Lord of the Nazgul perished on March 15, 3019. Khamul most likely became the leader of the Nazgul at that time.

At the Battle of the Morannon on March 25, the Nazgul flew above the battlefield. When Frodo claimed the Ring at Mount Doom, Sauron summoned the Nazgul to seize him. They raced to the mountain, but Gollum fell into the Cracks of Doom with the Ring. Mount Doom erupted and the Nazgul were engulfed in flames and were destroyed.

Other Names: Also called the Shadow of the East, the Black Easterling, and the Second Chief. He is commonly referred to as Khamul the Easterling.

Sources: The Fellowship of the Ring: "Three is Company," p. 78-79, 84-85, 87-88; "A Short Cut to Mushrooms," p. 98-100, 102; "A Consipiracy Unmasked," p. 109 Unfinished Tales: "The Hunt for the Ring," p. 338-39, 344, 348, 352-53 note 1

 
Ya, finally found Ringwraith No. 2's true name but unfortunate that he's weaken by light as I can tolerate light better than darkness! -__-

Mouth Of Sauron My Love . . . . .
Sideshow is releasing a bust of the Mouth of Sauron and Simply Toys is taking pre-order for it at SGD108 (SGD98 for members which I am). I WANT HIM!!!!!!!

Guess it's because the kind of stuffs to be released about him will be little; so far I only see the AOME (Armies Of Middlle-Earth) and Toybiz figurings so I could try to spare some cash to get the bust. But what if they release the statue next. . . . . @__@

Add to this the ROTK:EE DVD Gift Box which will have Minas Tirith as the gift (Woh! Jean's prediction had came true!) and me really wanting to get its companion, Minas Mogul which will surely cost as much as the full DVD Gift Box (USD79.90?).

Must start saving a lot like this. -__- The Yakult Coin Bank only got SGD140++ and Clefairy told me to put the money into my Darth Maul & Darth Vader Interactive Bank, Darth Maul on Bike and Ringwraith Coin Banks everytime it get full. Only after all 5 coin banks are full, then I can use the money saved. And I need to buy the lace (SGD50) for my Coronation Dress and SGD190 trimming for Arwen Cranberry Dress and maybe other Elven Dress. Throw in the amount I must pay for my ROTK Asst 3, Elendil, Elrond in Robe and Gil-Galad, Gate Of Mordor Set and Coronation Set, I doubt I can save so much for my Biker Scout Armor. >__< Was hoping to get a set by Jan so I can take my time assembling the parts and making the softwares myself.

Will see how. . . . . .

We Want It!!!!
Went to Arab Street yesterday to drool at the Bullion & Beaded Trimming and get more White Silk Satin for my Galadriel Cloak as I may use a Full Circle pattern instead of a cloak pattern.

Then, went to almost every shop to look for a lace that may be suitable for Arwen's Coronation Gown Upper Sleeves. Found a shop (No. 99) offering something similar and it was a French Lace. But the lace only comes in 3 Colors: Greenish, Pale Antique Gold and Gold and cost a bomb at SGD50/m. The cost is no barrier as I'm willing to spent a lot of money to get something that is very close but the color seems to be. >__<  The actual color of the actual lace is said to be White or Ivory.

I only need about 1/2m for the Upper Sleeves and maybe U around the Upper Sleeves and probably 1m if I include the Circular Yoke around the neck. Will see if I really want to get it and when I do, must bargain it down to hopefully SGD40 or less (giving reasons that I'm just a poor student! -__^ ).

Hai. . . .my saving is getting less and less and at this rate, donno if I can afford the Biker Scout Armor next year or even apply for my POSB Debit Card. >__<

About Arwen Requiem Dress . . . .
 
One Pattern to Rule them All,
One Pattern to Make Them;
One Pattern to Bring them All,
And at the Silver Screen We Confuse Them!
 
It reads: Aiyah! All 3 Requiem, Blood Red and Coronation Dress uses the same sleeves pattern. Only different is the length of the part that dip downwards and the fabric/layer.
 
Must resketch what I find out about the Requiem Sleeves and send it to Cat. People are starting to ask on the Mailing List and I can't answer yet. @_@

Report For Singapore Starlight Cinema. . . .
It was average compared to Malaysian's. -__-
 
I want to the last screening day of Singapore Starlight Cinema at Fort Canning Park. The location is good for Toilet Breaks and photography (oooooo! Fort Canning at night. So pretty but eerie). There is plenty of dustbins around and nearby for me to dispose of my garbage and can drinks vendeling machines to provide the drinks. The ground not too wet too and I was feeling comfortable in my choosen location.
 
Then the screening starts. . . .and it's just like watching a movie at the cinema only longer. There were many ads; for the main sponsor itself Stella Artois Beer. Van Helsing only started at 8.37pm when it suppose to start at 8pm. -__-
 
Then when they started showing LOTR: The Return Of The King, things started to fall apart. >__< First, there was no sound and the screen went blank for a couple of seconds in the first 5mins. Then, the screen was blur here and there. And certain parts are skipped by a couple of frames. Frankly, the screening kinda below the standards I see at Malaysia's Starlight Cinema last weekend. -__- And it was a lot less audience so when the Malaysia one said it's the Largest Outdoor screening for Starlight Cinema, they really meant it. @__@
 
Oh yes, Haldir was there yesterday. I changed into my March Warden suit upon arrival minus the wig and the moment I went down the stairs, someone called me Legolas. >__<>Van Helsing finish, I quickly put on my wig and went home in it. Oh, little reaction from the audience here in Singapore. Not even from the Taxi driver. Maybe they are used to it.

Imperial Officer Darth Prion Anyone? -__^
 
Just have this urge (again @__@) to get an Imperial Officer Uniform done as part of my SW Character various position in the Imperial Navy. Think the last I check, she's still an Lieutenant Admiral (my creation. by rank below Grand Moff and above Grand Admiral but by authority, below Darth Vader as she's his only successful apprentice) of the Super Star Destroyer Terminator, station in the Unknown Regions. This will be my backup SW Imperial Costume in case I can't become a Biker Scout in time for EpIII release next May 2005.
 
Hmm, so that makes a White Uniform aka Admiral Thrawn and thank God, no cap. \/ -__^ Or should I stick with the Olive Uniform aka Grand Admirals and Admirals?
 
And with the instructions Kathay had wrote (and even though I do own the pattern), think to my Seamstress I will run IF she charge me less the SGD150 for the suit (Tunic and Pants). Now to get a not too heavy fabric for the Garb, probably Polyester Suiting. -__-
 
Maybe Monday I'll go to Arab Street to check out the fabrics. Need to drool at that SGD190 7.5m of Heavily Beaded, Embroderied Trimming again. Think I can use it for the Arwen Cranberry Gown. Then again, was the trimming for that Dress suppose to be Antique Gold or Silver. @__@

Must garb some sleep. Wanted to sleep at 2.30am but keep toose and turn instead.

I WANT THEM!!!!!
Check out what Mattel gonna release this November 2004:
 
"The rumors are true - there are more The Lord of the Rings dolls on their way later this year! Earlier in 2004, collectors quickly snapped up the Barbie® Doll and Ken® Doll as Arwen and Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings Giftset. Don't miss out on your chance to get two new dolls, Ken® doll as Legolas, and Barbie® doll as Galadriel from the first movie in the trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Unlike the original giftset, these phenomenal dolls will be sold separately so you can purchase just one or get both!"
 

"Wife of Celeborn, grandmother of Arwen, High Queen of the Elves, Galadriel is said to possess unparalleled beauty and wisdom. Barbie® doll makes a breathtaking Galadriel, wearing an exquisite gown complete with "shell" medallion and glitter printed satin ribbon belt. Shoes and a crown complete the beautiful costume. Her long hair covers pointed elven ears. Simply stunning!"
 
 
"Son of Thranduil, King of the Elves of Mirkwood, Legolas is a master archer offering protection to the group. Tall and fair, bright-eyed and noble, Legolas is unforgettable. Ken® doll as Legolas will be equally unforgettable in his wonderfully detailed costume, long flowing blond hair, and pointed ears. He even comes with a decorated bow and several arrows, perfect for protecting against unwanted danger!
Ken® doll as Legolas and Barbie® doll as Galadriel will be available in mid-late November at Walmart.com, Toys "R" Us and toysrus.com, through authorized Barbie® doll dealers, in the Barbie® Collector catalog, and online in the BarbieCollector.com shop."
 
 
Yeah, baby, yeah! Barbie as Galadriel and Ken as Legolas. Not the proper pair (well, maybe because now Barbie have a new boyfriend o__O ) but just look at the quality and accuracy of the costumes. They are both a beauty!
 
Will drop by Magma Heritage today to ask if I can reserve or be notified upon arrival for both dolls.
 
Must start saving about SGD140 (based on the Arwen & Aragorn doll that cost me ~SGD90) so I can get the doll the moment it arrive in Singapore. ^__^ And maybe, I'll be the one who scan the dolls for ACS-LOTR again.  -__^

A Birthdat Greeting . . . .
To Calum Gittins who played "Haleth" in The Two Towers.

Oh! "Rosie's" birthday is in 2 days time. -__^

Arwen Gown Anonymous
I must confess; I'm such an Arwen Gowns Addict. :-P Today I had the urge to print out the writes up on some of Arwen Gowns and I printed out the ones on the White WETA Gown, Cranberry Gown and Arch Dress.

Now I really, really want to get at least one of them done soon and feel like getting the fabrics and trimmings tomolo and sending it to my usual seamstress. Or better still since all 3 has the same design and cut, all 3! O__O

And I got the sudden urge to do "Coma" Jibrille from Angle Sanctuary Dress too as I'm still yet to see someone do a PROPER replica of it (all 4 I see are so inaccurate or too simple).

Okay, okay, I must remember my pledge to make my own gowns this year. All 3 actually have simple and straight forward design so why should I waste SGD200 per dress to have it done by my seamstress when I can make it myself? And my pile of cloths is not getting any lower (READ: I still got lots of costumes to finish) so I shouldn't be adding another 50cm to the height.

Hai. . . .I'm really an impatient person. -__-

Oh, FYI, I think I should be going to the Starlight Cinema this Sat. Will probably be Haldir, with a more shiny hair as I had gotten the Olive Oil to soften the wig. Must remember to trim my eyebrows today (thank God, Haldir got a thick eyebrown and not thin like Legolar or Arwen -__^ ), shave my sideburns tomolo and bring the hairnet. Nah, my ears is still recovering so no pointy ear. -__-

Report For 10-11th July . . . .
As was made known, I went to Kuala Lumpur's Starlight Cinema screening of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy last Sat.

Took the 8am Grassland Coach and arrived in KL at around 2pm. After slacking at Sungai Wang looking for Mangas and Anime VCDs which in the end I didn't find -__-, took the taxi to Bukit Kiara Resort. Almost didn't get a taxi in time as there was a huge jam along Sungai Wang (should had taken the taxi on the other side >__< ). And in the taxi, the driver started rambling about Malaysia Politics blah blah that I was relieved to finally arrive at my destination. -__-

After quickly walking toward the screening area, I immediately made it to the mobile toilet. The first one had a small frog behind the toilet seat so I want to the 2nd to change. After much twitching and cursing, got into my Haldir March Warden suit and make my way to the entrance to buy ticket. On the way, I was interviewed by the Video Crew and introduced myself as Haldir. ^__^ And when the fellow ask wherther I'm interested in a date with Gollum, I said, I rather go on a date with Lady Galadriel. Also pointed out to them my plastic sword that got a note saying "I owe you a sword --Glorfindel", inspired by the cartoon did by Criz, Julia's Friend.

At the entrance, the person asked if I'm a Lotrien but seeing no one else from the club in costume, I lied that I'm not. Anyhow, it was only a RM15 for the tickets, which comes to about SGD7, less than half the price of the Singapore Starlight Cinema.

After walking towards the front (and causing a couple of heads to turn and me being called Legolas @__@), I saw a nice spot that should be more than enough for me. And after I set my stuffs down and lay the plastic tablemat, I saw the Lotrien Gang. :P I think I recognized a few from the photos online (especially someone who was wanted for porno...I meant potention photography at the LOTR Exhibition) sitting rite in front of me. Buat tak tau initially cause I was shy and scare some of them will recognize me from the LOTR Exhibition. Then one of them introduced the group to me and I act blur and said haven't heard of the Lotrien. None of them was in costume as promised anyway, and from what I heard from the organizer later, they said their costumes too expansive to wear outdoor (Hello! Ringwraith Costume and some of the dress is the most comfortable around if you had covered the ground properly like me. Anyhow, Ringwraiths are meant to get dirty! @__@ ). Ya, as though my Haldir is not expansive.

Ya, ya, I know, I made it myself for the 2 straight nights before setting out to Malaysia but the cloth did cost a lot. The Cloak was SGD8/yard, the Outer Tunic SGD8/m and Inner Tunic SGD6/m after much bargaining. Throw in my SGD39 specially ordered wig and the money I spent to get the tunic raw edges overlock. And I still got a layer or 2 to add to make it like the original.

Okay, back to the story.

Before the show starts, I gotten some drinks and got to know my neighbour who took a photo with me. -__^ The FOTR:EE started slightly before 8pm and as usual, I started mouthing the Galadriel Prologu Speech and squeek whenever Haldir or the Ringwraiths goes onscreen.

During the 10mins break after FOTR:EE, I gotten some sandwiches from Starbuck and went back to my seat to relax till TTT:EE starts again. And when Haldir died >__< I made silent "NO!!!!!" with every stab he gets. >__<

Later, once TTT:EE ends, I went to the toilet (the one slightly away from the screening area and is a permanent toilet). More heads turned and more people calling me "Legolas" O__O (I AM HALDIR!!!! LEGGY BOY DON'T WEAR ALL GREY LIKE ME!!!). The line for the toilet was long and I missed the Gollum Backstory and part of Isengard in the process (but it's okay cause I had seen ROTK so many times).

Around 7am, the movie ended and I slowly made my way to the exit and authograph the "I Survived Starlight Cinema LOTR Trilogy Screening" Board. Wrote "Haldir Was Here -Haldir" and after everyone had left, took a few photos with the board, still in my Haldir costume. Then off to hunt for a taxi to go back to Pudu Raya and wait for my 2pm bus.

At Pudu Raya, KFC was closed till 10.30am so off I went to hunt for a MacDonald and saw one slightly away from the area. Ordered Bubur Ayam and Milo and slack there till 12pm. Slowly remove my Elven Ears, repack my bag and write more what I can remember while working as the Condition Reporter for the LOTR Exhibition. Was almost dozing off but I tried to tahan.

At 12.15pm, I made my way to Swiss Garden Hotel to catch my coach. Almost lost my way when I walked in the wrong direction but got there by 12.45pm. Waited for my coach outside the Hotel and it finally arrived around 1pm. Took my seat and start slacking till I had given my ticket and can start sleeping (3 Nites didn't sleep enough u know!).

The Coach arrived at the 2nd Link (hmm...first time I came back from Malaysia and gone through the 2nd Link) around evening and it was a smooth ride through the custom. Arrived at Golden Mile Complex around 7.15pm and walk back to Lavender MRT Station since the day is still young and I still got strength in me. :P Arrived home by 9pm and off to check my mail and such.

Overall, I had enjoyed the trip as it was my first time going to Malaysia all alone backpacking. Also nice to had met my fellow Lotrien tho' I didn't introduce myself. Will have no problem doing it again. -__^

Now, I'm planning to go to Singapore Starlight Cinema this Sat, again as Haldir. Interested anyone? -__^

Doesn't Sound Like Me. . . o__O



Think the part about I live for the camera as I don't. I do a particular costume or armor cause I love the story it's from and the costume/armor.

I Had A Dream Last Nite....
Actually it was Sunday after I came back from KL (will talk about that later).

I dream that I was in the LOTR Exhibition Hall again and doing the Condition Reporting as part of the Dismantling Team. Had took down Gil-Galad and Haldir's Banners and was crading it looking for a mobile table to place it on. Then Az (the Te Papa Lady) call us into the Movie World to be briefied as there is a new team (and I was from the old team? o__O ) which was a lot of people (about 10?). I asked her about where I should place the Banners and she told me to use my own judment as before.

Then the new team members got onto the stage (?) and some were wearing the Star Wars Imperial Royal Guard Costume/Armor with the helmet off!

Of course after that, I was rudely awaken by my Grandma. -__-

Hai. . . .I really missed the LOTR Exhibition and still can't forgive myself for scanning the wrong manual. Should had done it on the Condition Reports rather than the general setup one! >__<

From My Outlook Express Mail Collection. . . .

[25th.]

Your birth on the 25th day of the month (7 energies) modifies your life path by giving you some special interest in technical, scientific, or other complex and often hard to understand subjects.

You may become something of a perfectionist and a stickler for details.

Your thinking is logical and intuitive, rational and responsible.

Your feelings may run deep, but you are not very likely to let them show.

This birthday makes you a more private person, more retrospective and perhaps more inflexible.

In friendships you are very cautious and reserved. You are probably inventive, and given to unique approach and solutions.

**Pisces
February 20 - March 20**

Sometimes I Wondered If I Could Had Done It Differently....
It had been 3 weeks and 2 days since I last came in contact with the LOTR Exhibits and I had been whacking myself for not doing 1001 while working at the Exhibition itself and later doing the Condition Report.

Here is the list:
1) I should had read and scanned the Condition Report instead of the Manual! >__< The pictures, the infos and even Haldir's banner picture were in those manuals all along. I know they weight a tonne but I could had carry 1 file home each week (since the file isn't needed till the condition reporting time) and scan them. And now, all chance of recording the infos had slipped through my fingers like water. SO STUPID OF ME!!!!! >__<
2) I should had taken measurements and photos after a month working there very early in the morning. I know it wasn't entirely my fault as I don't owned a Digital Camera in the first place but the measurement part, I could had done it. Now I'll regret forever as I can give back important infos to ACS-LOTR as it had given to me in the past few years.
3) I should had been caution and eagle eyes concerning the visitors. I found today a person posting blury photos from the exhibition in her blog and that shows how much I had failed!
4) I should had control my temper more concerning offendors. Well, maybe I shouldn't regret it as I was never a frontline person so I was just being human.

Okay, the other 997 are about the exhibits and my failure to sketch/measure/photography/stencil/take a sample/color coding etc.

On a good note, reading through my little Neon Pink Book, I discovered that I had jotted down some more infos about some of the costumes and props I examined on the first 2 days of my condition reporting. And a buncha random measurements. Will have to categorized them, compare to ready infos at ACS-LOTR and send all new infos and sketches to Cat (and for my reputation sake, maybe using a nickname that only I'll know. Hmmm....my Elven name in Silvan or Teleri or Sindarin? :P ).

I Missed The LOTR Exhibition....A LOT!!! >__<
Anyhow, I had a weird dream related to it the previous night.

I was back at the Exhibition hall and it was still on BUT with many of the items packed away. @__@ Some of the items had been shifted around to fill whichever shelves that had been emptied and visitors are still going around the hall.

And the weirdiest thing of all, the Gandalf Chair/Scaling Interactive was still functioning with the Background CD missing so we had to put some kind of weird-modern-day-backgrounds instead. And the camera was right in front of me (easily adjustable some more) with the photos printed on A4 size.

I saw remembered telling Natasha (a fellow Condition Reporter) that Az will need us the next day to finish packing the remaining stuffs although our contract had ended the day before (or something).

And I was telling a visitor (Malay Man?) that he should had come earlier to view the exhibition, not now that many of the stuffs had been packed away.

Boy, I really missed the exhibition. -__- Wonder when I'm gonna get my Dosages of Anti-LOTR-Exhibition Depression Medicines. -__-

Okay, off to try to sleep now....
