Fantastic 4

Fantastic 4. That's what Jin Hui called ourselves when we went out together again last night. The four of us - me, Jin hui, Haoyu and Gek Poh. Of course, this time there were 2 more guys, Qi Jun and Ronald who joined in.

Why "Fantastic 4"? That's because it's like the 3rd "karate outing" that involves us 4. Sometimes, trying to put together one club outing becomes redundant when the juniors don't reply and we 4 are the only ones who go out. Besides, the situation tallies with the characters of the story of Fantastic 4. 3 guys + 1 girl. Jin Hui is the one with the flaming torch, Haoyu is the elastic guy, Gek Poh is the rocky thing and I'm invisible girl.

Anyway, last night we went out to have dinner at Orchard. We had dinner at Coffee Club. Knowing I hadn't much money, I took the cheaper meal - Alfredo. It's creamy shell pasta with mushrooms and ham slices, baked under a layer of cheese. It's really filling but you kinda get sick a bit because it's so creamy.

Since, I haven't seen them for quite some time, I got the latest updates and gossip from them. After dinner and settling utter disgraceful and petty matters, we went walking around the malls nearby. One of the funny things anyone ever asked me came from Jin Hui. We were passing the clothes section in Isetan and he asked me why I don't wear a skirt or dress.

And, he pointed to a green sleeveless, show-cleavage" dress with black patterns all over it. I told him I don't even think that that dress was nice. It looks a bit like wearing a dress with polka dots except the patterns on this dress weren't circular.
Then, I said "I hang out with you guys. I'm the only girl. If you guys suddenly up and did some boyish things (I have no idea what they are), I will be very inconvenient. You know wearing a skirt or a dress, topped with heels."

Then, there were moments I'm just quiet. Guys and guys talking about army stuff. Ronald is always quiet. I don't think he's paying attention to it. And, I'm quiet. Later, these people noticed I was quiet and asked why. Then, they say I caught Ronald's influence. -.-

After Qi Jun left for his project, there was 5 of us. Haoyu made me call Joanne to ask her out. Dennis picked up the phone. For a second, I was surprised. Discussing what we do next, everyone ended up agreeing to go meet Dennis and Joanne at Boon Keng, her home place. All except Ronald, whose house is way too far and we were worried he couldn't catch the last bus or train home. We all sat at Mac. These time, the guys talked about more army stuff, with the addition of Dennis.

Well, I wasn't bored. I and Joanne talked. Talked about stuff; some clean and some dirty (you get the picture). What can I say? She's the only friend I can easily talk about such things =D

Overall, I enjoyed myself. Too bad we couldn't do more activities. We all were kinda broke. And, for the first time, I kind of want to take neoprints with these people. Yeah, I don't really take neoprints 'cos I don't think I look good in pictures but I think somehow it doesn't matter anymore. At the end, I reached home at 12am. I couldn't stay with them of course. But this time, I didn't sulk over that. Maybe I've become matured? Or it could be because I know my responsibilties that I got work the next day? I hope "matured" is the reason.

Good news is that my dad said if I'm going out with friends like Haoyu and want to stay out a bit late, it's fine but not too late and someone has to send me home. You hear that, Gek Poh? I've complained about that everytime we go out with the rest. I guess talking about my good friends and the people I mostly hang out with to my folks kind of got to them that these people are okay and can be trusted to a certain degree. I hope I can go drinking with them next time and just chat. I look forward to that day where I stay out late with Joanne, Dennis and the other members of the Fantastic 4 ...

Work woes and emotional woes

Recently, been benkyou o shimasu. Yesterday night, I slept at 2.30am just to complete masking for one of the characters in DCM Assignment 3; only to find out that there's no other solutions to mask the reflections on the marble floor. That means I gotta do a new mask from the beginning for the reflection on the floor. Darn SK's marble floor!

Now, I'm typing on this blog after finishing (for now unless there's changes) a script for a skit for GEMS Assignment 2. It's difficult writing a script. The topic is resilience factors for our GEMS class Psychology & Counselling. And, yup, I write it out so I gotta go dig relevant info. out. I must characterise the characters, create relevant problems, draw out resonable conclusions.

I'm already sleepy 'cos of yesterday but blasting Nickelback's rock songs seem to help a little. Too bad no help go to the "me" who was in Jap class. I was falling asleep. Besides, the share of assignment woes, there's the emotional woes. Nothing sad actually.

More like "given up" resolve and "can't be bothered" attitude is mutating into pure Distaste and people (or particularly the "Dramas") withdrawal symptoms. Tired of chasing after "Dramas" and fruitless attempts to reign control. Concerns and Determination to take actions are withdrawing. Tolerance for the first time sprung out of its usual place. Simple actions draw out the knot tying Tolerance down. And, let's not forget the discovery of the empty emotions. The "Hitori" feeling slowly fades away where Numbness takes place. An empty shell surfaces when dealing with the existence of the "Dramas". Mutation is fast evolving inside. Immunity to defend, in a sense, has been taken down. Soon, the System will reject "Dramas'" influence and aura. And, welcomes the day where the System is no longer distracted nor feels Distaste towards actions and words of the "Dramas".

Holy shit, what's that above?! Despite being sleepy, I typed out what I felt in the most unusual way. Emotions become real living characters in my description. I guess I haven't lost the touch to write weird stuff. Or should I say this is the first time I've written about things in such a manner. I guess Emotions are really something. They drive me to write peculiar stuff. Anyway, ganbatte to my System and Emotions. I still need you guys for the following weeks. I'll give a good reward during the holidays - 3 days of endless yaoi manga/anime reading/watching =D

Pieces

Broke my favourite perfume bottle, Glow by JLo this morning. Such a waste. It was my favourite among the set of 4 mini Glow perfume bottles. Plus, it was a birthday present from my half sister, Gail. Found out the actual price for a medium size bottle is like $61 or $69 near my place. Man, now I gotta use the others instead. Pieces ... can't be brought back nor pieced together again ...

Meanwhile, I've started watching a cartoon series I always wanted to watch but did not really have a chance to- Ben 10. Childish, huh? However, I think the story and characters are awesome. The main character Ben and his grandfather, Max are interesting characters. And, Gwen who is Ben's cousin, is my favourite character. She rocks in martial arts and magic. And, she looks hot in the sequel, Ben 10: Alien Force. Go, Gwen!

Killer wounds

On Monday, we had a bit of a mini practical make-up (cosmetic type) class during our Production Design class. It was interesting making someone look older, like a beggar, had a big gashing cut and a bullet/ cigarette burn on the arm. And, here are the pictures, taken from Kai An's hp (my hp low megapixel):

Our teacher, Jennifer Ang doing a demo and explaination


Sabo Suan Kai and he had to have this big cut "wound" on the back of his hand


Sam wound up with "blisters" derived from "burns"


Kevin had a burn on his arm


Kevin also had the chance to look older and like a homeless guy


Me and Oi Keat trying out on her arm. Didn't look convincing at first.


Adding the "burn" marks


Wa la! Our final piece! Not sure if we added too much "blood" ...


That's Oi Keat. After that, she didn't wash the "wound" off but succeed in scaring her hostel friends


Ahmad had a cut done by Zul. This one sure looks real ...


Zul managed to age so much with the help of Sharifah who applied the long moustache and beard on him

In addition, today's PVFX test is over. We made it through. An Zai managed to not get out of the room half an hour after the test was commenced. Hope we won't get too low marks. That's all I'm expecting. With low expectations, better emotion control =D
