Yesterday and Today

HAH! Impressive how two neighbouring days can be the complete opposite of each other! 26 August 2009 is arguably one of the best days I've had this year, whereas 27 August 2009 is perhaps one of the lousiest days of my life.

26 August 2009
Ragnarok was progressing well. I've already completed the basic shape of the sword. And I finished that in 3 hours. The only thing left was to wrap a layer of paper around it to hold the foam and paint it. But I had an appointment that day, so I had to save the wrapping for the next day. Oh well, I made great progress that day. A whopping 37%. Pure estimation.

At 6pm, Kazuki came to fetch me and we went to Town Steamboat Restaurant (or something like that). They said it was a farewell party for me and I'm really grateful.

We took our sits and started chatting while waiting for Max. I learned quite a lot about them. Kazuki actually has a lot of ties with the CF committee. That is seriously something. He is also the founder of a new otaku group called Malaysia Cosplay Toshokan. However, Michelle is the president since he doesn't want to lead. And Sumire is Director and the editor of their online magazine.

And here's something. They're planning an event in Time Square, Penang next year with the help of Animax and some CF committee members. Sadly, I can't help or even attend since I'll be gone next year. Sigh...

Max came to join us a little late, but once he arrived, boy did we make a lot of noise. Max brought us more stories of his 5-week stay in Japan. He got a FREE air ticket to Japan. The stories were seriously seriously epic. That whole country is twisted, I tell you! Anytime y'all wanna hear some of the stories, just ask.

I received the uncut version of our video too. And they're planning to remake that video and title it "How the video should have been". So, any cosplayers out there! Lend your support please!

Finally, Max dropped me home. I realised that he lives VERY close to me! I can't believe he lived a stone's throw away and I never met him till last Sunday! It really SUCKS to meet new and potentially close friends this late! UGH!!!

And I forgot my camera!! :(

But yeah, that day was excellent. Sigh... now there are times I wish I wasn't going to Ireland. Tch! Dammit! Look forward, Move forward!

27 August 2009
Let me start by saying @##@!%$$&^$%$@$@$ WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS GODDAMN DAY ABOUT!? FROM WHEN I WAKE UP TILL THIS MOMENT WAS SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT AND BLOODY HELL MORE GOD DAMN SHIT!!

Ahem...

10am, woke up feeling sore all over for no apparent reason. Struggled to get out of bed but couldn't until 11am.

11am, cousin came to visit, which means noisy morning. I had a foul mood so I just left him and my lil bro alone to play, replying with grunts whenever they called for me.

11.30am, started working on Ragnarok. Thanks to my aching arms and legs, the wrapping sucked. I redid it 3 times and still didn't get what I wanted.

1pm, got a somewhat satisfying result at last, only to ruin in after gluing the wrapping paper on by folding it a little. I was already too lazy, so I didn't bother fixing it. Then, I thought, "Ah well, going to Pikaby's place later. Things might not be so bad after this."

3pm, arrived at Pikaby's place and immediately started off with Wii Sports Resort and I got to try the new Wii Motion Plus. Not that it felt any different, but supposedly the Wii-Mote becomes more accurate. And of course, I got owned bad.

4pm, mom SMS-ed me and told me to come home. "WHAT!?" I had to go and pray at my grandfather's grave. It had been raining the past few days, so we couldn't go. So, I reluctantly accepted it and went home. And you know what happened? IT RAINED!! Halfway home, it rained! And stupid ol' me didn't think of turning back because all I could think of was "Finally, I can go pray at grandfather's grave before I leave!" Sad, but true.

4.30pm, got home and my mom told me, "Heavy rain. Cannot go already. And don't you even think of going back there in this weather!" And all hell broke lose in my head. That was the last straw. I went straight to my room and just continued my futile attempts on completing Ragnarok.

7pm, at dinner, my mom saw my sulking face and gave me a lecture, "It's not like we did it on purpose. We didn't know either. Besides, you have chosen to go overseas, so you should have been prepared to part ways with your friends." I understood clearly. I wasn't even blaming her or anyone except myself. "Why didn't I turn back when it started raining? WHY!? I'm about to leave the country for 2.5 years and I spent 1 MEASLY HOUR with my best friend!! WHAT THE GODDAMN BLOODY HELL!!!!???"

10pm, cooled down a little. Started settling registration things and found a lot of troublesome procedures that have no explanation. Stupid website just leads me in circles. Site A>Site B>Site C>Site A>Site B>Site C and so on and so forth.

Sigh... I'm still really sore about Pikaby. He'll be leaving for KL tomorrow until Sunday, so I won't be seeing him at all for a very long time. I pray that our paths will cross again soon. Or I'll be forced to rake up my phone bill with another 2 hour call! Hahaha.... Sigh.............

Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Kazuki is supposed to show me that wig shop after all.
