HIATUS.

March 17th, 2010

HIATUS. FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS.

Two trips, back to back.

Kuala Lumpur – Melaka Trip:
Leaving Singapore 18th March on a 7 a.m. bus, ETA 12 – 1 p.m. at Bangsar Station.
Returning to Singapore 22nd March, on a 12 p.m. bus, ETA don’t really care.

Singapore – Los Angeles/San Fran Trip:
Leaving Singapore 25th March on a 9.45 a.m. flight, ETA, really, really long later.
Returning to Singapore 4th April, on a godforsaken-ly early time, ETA around 8 a.m. on Sunday morning.

See you guys when I’m back.

Well, officially 18th – 22nd is on hiatus, but I most likely will tweet so.

FUN TIEMZ NOW.

Alright boys, heave!

March 17th, 2010

I’m leaving tomorrow HOLY CRAP ITS SO SOON?!

My room is obviously still a warzone (it seems that way, seriously), but I’m almost done packing (just need to fix the cloth for my sword) and then bring everything downstairs for tomorrow. Sling bag also has everything, barring money and passport, and bloody hell I can’t forget those so.

All that’s left is. Hyuuga’s katana-straps and belt. Eyebrows (messy, guh), stationary, cloth (for the tailor), charger (for my battery-draining iPhone), and uh. PAPERWORK. GAH. I haven’t printed any of my paperwork (and I might just end up bringing actual notes down orz) and my references gahhh.

Brb not-so panicking.

I have Genesis of Aquarion looping behind me somewhere from my phone and [info]miura_mika THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

Somehow, something tells me, FINISH that bloody bottle of Merlot tonight, so I can rest easier tomorrow.

Vacations are never easy. Maybe I can rest easier when I’m on the road towards KL.

Everyone had their ghosts. And until Ayanami let go of his, he would be there.

I’m not entirely sure this is WIP but…

March 9th, 2010

I NEED TO SPAZ OVER THIS. LIKE NOW.

I got the propmaker who did my Snow armband to work on my Ayanami sword, because other options failed me epic-ly last moment. While worrying about bringing it past customs but…

I think every moment of worrying over it was worth EVERY LAST SECOND.

FULL VIEW IT. SERIOUSLY.

Oh GOD I have never seen such a perfect piece of work. Brb dying in a corner and flailing incoherently at the perfect-ness of it all <33333

The brilliant flag of the sun over the deep blue sky.

March 9th, 2010

I’m tired, really.

I have work in slightly under 3 hours, but my ulcer is trying to kill me, and I am really, really tired. I haven’t been eating properly, because eating is a bitch no thanks to the bloody thing on the side of my mouth and I’m honestly just surprised it hasn’t swollen at all and become oh-so-noticeable and everything.

Burnout?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Admitted I’ve been feeling better, but still tired. Eleven days to GACC, sixteen before I get thrown aboard a sixteen-hour flight to a place I’ve never been to before.These mood-swings are quite dangerous though, one moment I’ve had no drive to do anything, let alone live, and just moments ago while lying on the couch I decided that it would be nice if GACC could come a little faster, so I could see friends I really, really do miss – to the point that I’ve had an impulse to simply pick up the phone and call them, mind you – and just relax in a place where I can be alone and just alone without anyone constantly nagging.

Been working on the epilogue for the fic, it’s about time to end it, anyway.

And I’ve been staying home a lot, recently. Haven’t particularly had the drive to step out of the house. Except to maybe go to work, and do mandatory errands.

When did I become this tired, I wonder?

Suddenly I find myself with strange cravings even though I’m not eating properly.

I think I’ll pack tonight or something, put away clothes I want to wear for the trips or something. Haven’t worked on the gold wing-patterns either, mhn.

Sword gets shipped on the 10th. Wonder how much shipping will be.

In dreams, the mind wanders.

March 6th, 2010

Firstly, I think not eating properly on work days will be the death of me.

Secondly: I think I’m drifting the way of a certain violet-eyed silver-haired tsundere when it comes to work attitude. Which is not helpful, and also brings me to the third point.

Thirdly: I foresee I’m going to be nagged to death.

And lastly: I’ve been having strange dreams recently, sometimes it makes me wonder what they mean, considering they’re so odd and just too suggestive.

The other evening (I fell asleep in the afternoon, actually) the strangest dream hit me, and I actually woke with a question on my lips because that was the last question I was rather frantically asking.

Air Gear – The Road of KINGS

March 4th, 2010

Air Gear – The Road of Kings

Spitfire: Lacrymosa
Kazuma “Kazu” Mikura: Rukariel

Photographers: FarizAsuka, Hitoribocchi
Helper: TheFuzzy (Fuzzy, go get the bag! XD)

Finally lol. We spent about one hour on this shoot? Couldn’t really do much more because I was dying under my jacket, and Ruka was melting in the pants. Kindred souls dying in PVC guh. Went a bit later than expected, was HOT. No wind, WHY.

4 photos under the cut.

Burn until there’s nothing left, huh?

March 3rd, 2010

I actually burned out somewhere over the last two days, and that familiar old sensation of craving death just somehow managed to seize me again. [info]sairenmizuko says it’s most probably a psychological thing, not that I really want to die but just disappear and drop everything though, so mhn.

Been entirely out of fic ideas, instead having very, very strange moodswings that seem to come and go like well, a swing. Makes things a little more awkward, but maybe some quieting down somewhere will help, who knows? It might be because of the fic I’m writing, and maybe because I haven’t had much else to occupy my mind, especially since not much in terms of props to work on (just left one necklace, orz), and fic is idea-less, again.

Unsure of where to start, what they should do, how it should end. Good job Gwen, you forgot to think about those things again.

I’m sure I’ll think of something.

Reading so many AU 07-Ghost fics recently, in Chinese to boot. Mhn. Still no inspiration though.

Gotta go meet Lee today too, maybe that’ll take the edge off all the darkness that I’ve been feeling these days. And the strange, odd dreams.

Mhn.

The end of the gold-lined caper.

March 1st, 2010

I think I’ve been pushing myself too hard, too fast, and finally burned out in exhaustion. Gah.

It probably might have something to do with the fact I need something to occupy my mind, else my mind will just… run wild. Guh.

I’ve gotten my shoot photos, and looking at the other photographer’s stuff makes me feel just a slight bit better about it. I’ve not been satisfied with the shoot, so meh.

Anyway.

Yesterday I posted an entry with a WIP of the hat. 1+ hour the other day doing JUST the paper mock-up for the edging, and 5 hours yesterday for the majority of the rest.

The hat though, is finally finished.

Paper mockups and brilliant gold.

February 27th, 2010

WIP for my GACC costume. No cookies for guessing who I’m doing lmao. This is really a LOT of work, and I’m barely even half done! I’ll get started on my other GACC costume stuff tomorrow maybe, if I don’t have to go out or anything.

Gold trim on the edge of the cap. Paper mockup, actual gold trip, and then on both sides. The handicraft glue seems to be holding up well, but I’m not entirely good with working with it, so the right side looked a bit weird at first. The glue, actually.

Drawing draft -> Paper mock-up -> Actual gold trimming -> hat brim done.

Barsburg Logo, which is a downright PAIN in the ass to do, and I’m not even remotely done because of the bloody snakes that don’t seem to fit well in together. The mockup itself took a while because it was just HARD to get both sides of the logo symmetrical (ARGH BARSBURG why can’t you just have a NICELY SYMMETRICAL logo argh. Why couldn’t you guys be like the Raggs Kingdom, their logo is so much simpler…)

Drawing draft -> Paper mock-up.

The snakes here look fine, but they look absolutely horrible when done in gold, so bah. Will re-work, guh.

End result:

The snakes in the centre are missing, and I haven’t glued down the entire logo yet. Might need to make the arms there more defined or something, iunno. Not gonna do anything more on the hat for tonight though.

In other news, shoot today was fairly productive. Fairly. I was mostly dying in heat so badly, and a move to run up the wall = fail. Then again, Spitfire’s not the run up the wall type lollll. Somehow, sunrise shoot wasn’t as sunrise-y as I’d liked, sun was out and I was melting HORRIBLY. My jacket is still drying out now, guh.

I’ll update about the shoot when I get the photos, at least.
