CHRONICLE OF THE WINGS

this is a 3D paper stand that I've made while I was in office.
It turned out pretty well and pretty much satisfied with the results.

it's kinda fun to engage in such projects every once in awhile. =)
it's almost brainless and all i need to do is to just concentrate on using the pen knife to cut out the figures. the only difficulty i faced was probably that it's the first time for me to create such a stand and the instructions are all in japanese. i had my colleague help translate for me most of the instructions but to know exactly what to do, i guess i'm on my own. *sweat drops*

before i started work,
it basically came in a form of a brochure like manner.


chronicle of the wings paper craft

it consists of a few pages and then there were subsequently the cut out designs on each and every page. frankly speaking, i thought it was pretty well designed. the cutting out of areas like the hair and the more intricate parts are slightly more challenging. my pen knife can't do curved cutting all that well and every time i face a "hair" cut-out, i fear slicing out the hair and screwing things up. anyway, all in all, everything went well and it just so happened that i have paper craft glue with me muahahaha

oh. realised that i forgot to mention where i got this paper craft booklet from. i didn't buy it yea. a colleague handed it to me since they know i'm pretty much a handicraft person. *happy* and so they await the result to wow at the cuteness of it while leaving all the 'work' to me. not that i have anything to complain about anyway since i enjoy doing such stuff.

maybe if i'm in luck, i'll get another booklet of my favourite animes? hehehe i'm not exactly fond of chronicle of the wings.

on labour day, which is a holiday (duh!), wilson and i decided to ask some friends out for dinner.
we've decided for it to be a anti-bike day so we spent the whole day travelling on public transport.. which plaintively means - the bus. muahaha.

NO MORE WEARIN OF HELMETS!

but...! there's inconveniences as well. using ezlink is not all that cheap and it's much more time consuming when you're not on a bike... but AIYAH! hekki dayo hekki!

wilson and i took our time going places and finally we ended up in toa payoh to have botak jones. we were supposed to meet up with his friends there but when we got there, i sensed something not being too right about the place. as in, it's kinda "dead". then i realised that the entire eating house got a day-off cos it's labour day. DAMN. shld've guessed. it's located right next to SPH and a industrial area.

since wilson's friends were already in the area, we decided to wait out for them to arrive to them drop the "bombshell" on them. they were quite stoned haha. anyway we hitched a ride on their van and drove to AMK together to try out the other botak jones outlet.

my god lah.

the entire place packed until siao. the queue was ridiculously long!
wilson's gang not adventurous one!! *grumbles*

all either ordered same as us (which is cajun chicken) or fish and chips.
i thought at least someone might've tried the burgers or hotdogs or wadever. ceh.

i ordered cajun chicken and chilli con carne to share with wilson.


cajun chicken


chilli con carne

this is like a mix of beef and stuff and it taste pretty much like the toppings u get on chilli hotdogs. quite nice. wo xi huan (i like)!

oh yea. and our india office colleagues came to town last week.
*cough* good thing helen wasn't around. i couldn't find the parang.

they gave us a backpack with animax logo. i must say, it doesnt look all the bad and it's huge. pretty heavy too.



the next "present" i got was a bunch of tapes and DVDs. more work with crazy deadlines.
damn.

shoppings!!

i saw this bag from ESPRIT (brown; left) and went crazy and chiong home to steal my mom's membercard. nice eh? then subsequently bought a small bag from MUJI (green; right).



let me share with you my woes.

the stupid cashier forgot to remove the sensor tag from my MUJI bag. i realised it only at night.
i wanted to go back the next day, along with the receipt, to have them remove the tag but to my horror... my mom chucked the receipt that very morning while cleaning up the room. OMG LA. then she started panicking after having known that and launched multiple attacks at me to dissuade me from going back to the shop in case they suspect me of stealin things. *slap head* i swear i was so frustrated i nearly smashed something.. whatever's within reach. anyway, tks to karen i remembered that i could actually do a printout of my transaction summary via dbs online banking. so i did. made a call to the store before heading down.

guess what?

they did remove the tag for me. but they didn't ask to check for receipt.

WTH. oh well.

bought this magazine from MPH. $12+. quite cheap
it's about beadworks. some of the stuff are really nice.
will try out someday.

ching invited us over to her us to makan cha soba with herbal chicken soup.
kinda weird combination. we even bought chicken wings to add to the lot.
then there was noodles made by ching's mom. wah lau.

then when we got to her place i was a lil shocked.
plenty of people around.
and the baby that's uber chubby and good to huggle.
wilson's abit scared of carrying babies but we threw the baby onto him to carry anyway.
he didn't score too badly!
think he'll be a good dad.
i liked the look on his face when he played with the baby.
he just needs time to open up and love someone.

while he sits infront of the pc i came up from behind to snap a shot.



i think my gu looks quite handsome here *wahahahahaha* (自high)
