While everyone's stuck in the university studying, here I am free to run (period). Life has been contrary to what I had expected, I haven't been able to reach the state of boredom yet. The past coupla days I spent yanking out all my clothes clogging up the tiny wardrobe and folding and stacking them nicely so that my sister could have a share in the wardrobe space. One wardrobe to two girls seriously... does not make any sense. Anyway, that aside, I spent almost at least a few hours on the playstation playing Kingdom Hearts II everyday. There are still a number of missions, mini-games, leveling up and bosses to fight so that's been keeping me quite happily occupied. And when I'm done with that I could always move on the Final Fantasy XII. I just managed to beat that pesky Sephiroth today. I confess, my palms start to sweat and I get all fidgety when I attempt to fight him but with more levels and new skills yes, I quite delighted in watching him get whack by Sora's keyblade. You go Sora!
I met up with a friend just a few days ago and we talked a bit about anime and games and what we liked so much about them, what we liked to see in them. And I just had to go on about the primary school kids I had to relief teach for two days. Kids these days are surprisingly not all as different as us than we think them to be. I decided on relief teaching as much as I dread all kinds of work so as to earn some money to hopefully eventually be able to buy a PS3 when I'm all alone in Japan. I need a companion! So far I've worked three days, that's $65/day deducting the 20% for !#^$%*# CPF that's just above $150 far from my target of $717.60 and strangely I'm having so many appointments with people lately, I don't think work is very possible in the days to come. Speaking of days to come, it's almost CNY and I've gone back to the online forums to find stuff to complete some outfit in mind.
Oh right, I went to the Zouk flea market with Fang and Justin (like why in the world he wanted to go.. beats me) and I bought a topshop shirt in size 6 for $8 that fits pretty well. My sister hates it and Justin thinks its something his grandma would wear, my mom says she likes it (lol which reaffirms his point) but that's what it's supposed to be like I think, vintage print. I got a nautical looking elastic belt, well worn judging from its elasticity and general appearance, that screams Captain America/ Wonder Woman because it's blue red white horizontally striped.
See? My life is exciting right?
Moving on, Justin and I went to Penang Place for dinner one day, can't quite remember which day that was, but I just completely exhausted my stomach's capacity, which is quite normal for me to do so at Penang Place. Auntie Hannah was so nice, I got to eat for free in the end, which defeated the purpose of having dinner with Justin since he was supposed to pay.
Let's move on to the present shall we? I saw a notice on sgselltrade looking for size UK10-12 girls for an indie-styled clothes photoshoot just yesterday. The post says the models get to keep the clothes and get paid $125/day. Since I suppose it's Joanne who's in charge of this; Cheryl knows her and she's pretty nice too, judging from some miscellanous emails I exchanged with her in the past, I thought well why not? I think I fit the bill too. The last time I 'spoke' to her, it was about gothic clothes, I had something of a goth craze at that moment in time, hyped up enough to think about getting a dress tailored in the style of Sena Robin.
Oh sheesh, I'm being bitten by mosquitoes as I speak. I woke up a few days ago with two itchy red blotches, one on each cheek of my face. It's clearly my turn to suffer the wrath of these annoying insects; my mom and brother complained of mosquito bites previously while I was quite happily undisturbed by them for some reason.
More CNY shopping in the next coupla days to come; I've bought an Urbanoutfitters jersey skirt, waiting for it to arrive in the mail together with my brown houndstooth Forever21 shorts. I've been needlessly stocking up on long-sleeved clothes, since it would be Spring when I arrive in Japan. I hope to stretch the $105 my mom gave me as cny expenditure, anyway, meeting Fang at Ikea for lunch tomorrow (meatball goodness!). Peace out!
