Seifuku! | Cloth Hunting!

::20th Oct 09::
Got totally nothing to do so I decided to watch movies :) Like you know, for FREEEE :D My favourite thing to do when I've got nothing to do. Was supposed to watch "Imagine That" with Rebecca but I couldn't contact her at all! Because she left her handphone in her locker D: But she came down in the afternoon to get it back.
Rebecca later accompanied me to get the Japanese school uniform (seifuku) from the online seller at Bedok and also to meet up with ShunAn. And we made our way back to Great World City to play arcade and watch another movie, "The Hurt Locker", which I promptly fell asleep during the show. & I'm proud of it! :D
Percussion Master! :D
This is so much easier to play than Taiko drums, seriously!
DDR.
ShunAn vs. Me xD
Trying out the seifuku I bought :D
I don't know how to adjust the scarf properly :( Need more practice, I guess...
Bought it for $54 :)

-Flashback - Went with Jasmine and XueNi on the 13th Oct to meet the tailor, Lillian, for my AFA cosplay costume. Lillian also told me what type of cloth and how many meters I'm suppose to get for the costume. 3m orange cloth, 0.5m brown cloth, 16 inches open end zip and some strings. Feels like some kind of treasure hunt game!! xD
And now finally I found the time to go cloth hunting with XueNi. And I realized that I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO BRING A PICTURE OF THE COSTUME! That was so retarded of me :\ I went online on my handphone and downloaded the picture from Wikipedia. Thank goodness for technology.
The first stop we made was at Chinatown, People's Park Complex. I bought the zip and strings there, cost me $2.40 for both items. The cloth we didn't manage to find it :( Either it's of different shades of orange or wrong cloth material.
Lunch there before the hunt begins.
Next stop was Plaza Singapura, Spotlight. Worse... No suitable cloths at all and the prices are rocket high! Anyway, from the purple line to red line, we went to Raffles Place's Hong Leong Finance building to meet Joshua's mama to collect the zoo passes from her. Thank you and for the trouble ^^'''' Before moving to our next destination, we ate some expensive pudding thing called "Trio Chocolate Mousse with Berries" at the OUB building's Swissbake. I treated XueNi as well :D So nice of me? :X
One costs $3.90!~
Expensive feel, right? :X
Anyway, our next place to search for the cloths was at Arab Street. Woah! I was amazed by the number of fabric shops there. Though my head nearly explode from the strong scent of Indian perfume stuff there and also the crowded-ness of the place. But we managed to find my cloth there :D Bought both orange and brown cloth at $19.50. & I can't forget the line that the guy from the carpet shop said with his strong Indian accent. "Carpets for you, ma'am?"
And with that, I managed to buy all my materials!
Thank you XueNi for accompanying~

With the time left, we walked to Suntec City to check out XueNi's AuditionSea account at Asiasoft PCBunk. And also I spotted a shop that sells wings! I could definitely use it for my AFA cosplay. But then, it costs $39.90 :( I'll think about it. Still thinking...
When I was looking at the wings, the shopkeeper beckoned me to her so she could show me some colouring book magic trick. After that, there were two secondary school looking guys by the counter, probably learning magic tricks from the shopkeeper earlier. One of the guy wanted to show me a magic trick, the ring & chain one, which I already knew how to do it :X He failed twice before succeeding in doing it. I pretended not to know the trick and asked him to let me try as well xD And I succeeded in doing it on the first try. The guys were really shocked and totally owned by me! Awesome~ Anyway, after they left, the shopkeeper then told me/us that they wanted to get my/our numbers :X Aww~ Too bad for them.
Ladybug earrings I bought :D
After that, we went home from the bus stop near the Esplanade. It was a freaking long ride home for me :\ And I didn't bring my NDS or a storybook... Slept throughout the journey home, listening to my mp3.
Showing off my small collection of nail polishes! xD

So many people I have to meet up today! And I have sexy man voice :D
First stop was at Ikea for meatballs treat from Joshua :) This was for finally getting my driving license. He also wanted to throw in a side dish as well, a Daim cake! But I was too full from the meatballs :( Oh well, next time then.
Thank you Yehoshua kor~ xD
Next, I met up with XueNi at 3pm+. She is going to accompany me to collect my new passport! So nice of her, right? xD When we reached the ICA, the place was congested with people. It was really terrible. Why, oh why, do I have to collect it today... Oh ya, because of Audrey... everyday she would chase me for my passport number and I'll reply her, "No, I do not have it yet." Anyway, my queue number was 8892. There was a number that we can smsed to, to find out the estimated waiting time for collection of the passport. And my estimated time was 2 to 2.5hours. Thank you very much. Of course, I'm not going to stand there like an idiot for 2 and a half hours :X Neither would XueNi.
So... we went to Bugis!~ Firstly, to get our e-Amusement pass at TKA. We wanted to get an account for jubeat so we could record scores and get new songs. We proceeded to iluma's Tornado arcade to activate the card. But to our dismay, it was really crowded. Everyone was hogged the jubeat machines :( So we played Taiko instead, to waste the time away. I even set my handphone timer to remind us to leave the place in time and go back to ICA.
Blisters we gained from Taiko.
A broken fingernail I gained from Guitar Freak :\
After playing Taiko, I realized that my super old and dirty blue handphone strap was lost :(
So I bought a new one from Comics Connection.

We left the place and returned to the ICA when the estimated time of collection was 0.5 to 1hour. When we reached there, we realized that the place closed at 6pm. So we couldn't go in, only people can come out the building. We asked the security guard to let us in and we went up to collect my new passport. There was one guy who was very sarcastic to us because we didn't wait in the ICA building. :\
XueNi then continued to accompany me to The Cathay and she went to find her mama at Plaza Singapura. Puikwan met me at the entrance and brought me to the Astons restaurant. The queue for it was really really long!! Lucky for us, we have Audrey to queue up for us first. Audrey had to queue for 45mins before she could go in and book seats for us. & Puikwan didn't like my man voice :(
Saw this graffiti/vandalism on the floor, while walking to The Cathay.
Chargrill chicken + baked potato + fries
They ordered chicken wings for us.
But I was too full to eat any of them :(

This dinner was also to celebrate Alice and my birthday :) Hers was on the 1st of October. So after the dinner, they brought out cakes for us D: I'm already so full and they still wanna torture me!!!~ T_T
Strawberry, mine. Chocolate, hers.
Look at all the people still queuing outside! :X
Making a wish? xD
Took some pictures before we parted at the junction.Strawberry, mine. Chocolate, hers.

While we were eating the cake, Daphne brought out our presents as well :D
When she was doing this, I looked up from eating and asked her what she is doing :X
These are my presents from them!
Pink ribbon hairband and a pink star necklace :D
Thank you!~
We have to eat finish the expensive cake, before we could go off.
I felt like puking already D:
Took pictures before leaving the place.
People [left to right]: Daphne, Audrey, Alice, me, Puikwan & Lisa.
Perfecto~ :D

We went to the toilet and we tried to take a group picture outside the toilet by using the camera timer. A passer-by noticed us struggling to take a group picture and offered to help us instead :) So nice of him! :D
Group picture BANZAI!
All girls as well! Because the guys are in NS~ :X
The lousy shots!Group picture BANZAI!

After that, we decided to walk to Suntec City/City Hall or something. On the way, we noticed that all of us have a hairband. Well, except for Alice. But I have two! xD So we decided to take another group picture. After 12473274862 shots, we were still unable to get everyone in the picture :( Oops, I exaggerated. We only took 4 lousy shots before we got a passer-by to help us out.
Perfecto~ :D
Lisa, Audrey, Daphne and Alice walked on to Suntec City to take their buses, while Puikwan and I went to the bus stops at City Hall to take our own buses back home there.
Thank you for the Astons treat and also for the birthday present :D

::8th Oct 09::
Yay! It's the day that I decided to buy the craft materials to start on my Pokémon "props". Yep, it's a wee bit early xP But still... I want to start making it!! :D Met up with XueNi at Parco Bugis at 12.20noon. XueNi wasn't there yet when I've reached, so I went to get bacon & cheese takoyaki! One of my favourite food~ (I think I have takoyaki and meatballs withdrawal sydrome D:)
Anyway... XueNi reached and we made our way down to Art Friend at Bras Basah Complex. Stopped by some other art shop to get some glittery pigment paint thingy for XueNi's dolls. I bought felt cloths and other materials there for my Pokémon "props". Even a styrofoam ball to try turning it into a Pokéball! xD
For the cotton, we made our way down to Plaza Singapura's Spotlight to get it :) And so, my Pokémon "props" materials costed me $16.70.
The materials!! xD
Tried on this white fedora at Spotlight xD
The time was around 3pm then. Still very early!! Because my next appointment was at 6.30pm at central©. There's still lots of time before that! So we decided to... watch a movie! :D Using my complimentary tickets, of course. The movie we decided on was Shorts. Because it was something I have not watched yet and also the timing wise as well. The movie ends at 6.20pm :X It's okay to be late when others will be late too :)
Went walkwalk before the movie. Toy stores at level 7!~ I bought a small keychain plushie at $1 in Toy Outpost. And also I finally got to eat Chippy - British Take Away's fried Mars bars! :D Shared it with XueNi. It was really yummy :P
Bat cat or Cat bat?
@_@
4 fried Mars bars + vanilla ice cream + chocolate syrup!

At 4.35pm, we went in to watch the movie and requested for blankets as well. Their theatres are still as cold as ever!! The movie was fun :D Really original. Cole Black, acted by Devon Gearhart, is so cute!! He looks like an Eurasian version of Hibari, IMO. And I also like his sister's name, Helvetica Black.
I cannot find anymore pictures of him in the movie :(
The rest are him with blonde hair.

Apparently, movies don't actually end on time. Due to credits... :X So we were considered late. Going to have dinner at central©'s Waraku with Sally and my cousin, Jeremy! XueNi couldn't resist the temptation of Waraku so she decided to join us as well :X When we reached Clarke Quay, Sally was late. Jeremy waited for her at the MRT control station, while XueNi and I went to the restaurant to get seats first. Hurray!! Finally I got to eat at my favourite pasta restaurant~ And... Sally and Jeremy were going to treat me dinner as my birthday present :D
Appetizers.
I chose the half and half set. 2 pastas BANZAI! :D
Corn & Butter pasta and Bacon & Vegetables soup pasta.
The bill :X
Now Mr. Botak has parents!! :D
Birthday present from Jeremy and Jorina, my other cousin.

After that, we went to walkwalk around Clarke Quay. I got to explore the pubs and clubs area of it :D I saw a pub called "The Clinic" that uses the concept of a hospital wards! Wheelchairs, drips, partitions that are used in wards and the lights used are... the operation threatre lights! Too bad I didn't manage to take pictures of the pub :X
Jeremy, acting cool :X

And also... they forced me to buy ice cream from this Turkish ice cream shop. Well, since Jeremy will be paying... I decided to do it. I do felt a bit embarrassed with all the people watching me getting prank on by the ice cream seller :\
He refused to give me the ice cream, kept snatching it out of my hand!!!
Not once... BUT ALOT OF TIMES! D:
Finally ^^'''

From there, we walked to Liang Court and went up to Kinokuniya bookstore. Jeremy bought for me the second book of Harry Potter!! The Chamber of Secrets :D Thank you!!~ He is such a nice cousin~~ :P And we head home after that. All of us took bus195, except Jeremy who took taxi. AND Sally followed me home O_O! Heh. To see my birds, before going back to her own home :)
Now Mr. Botak has parents!! :D
