April Doll Meet 12/04

It is hard to believe that today is 15th April and I took 3 days to post a handful of pictures.
Wonder Why? Followings are the reasons:

• - On sunday, I spent the whole day in bed as my back was aching like hell. Can't sit/stand long.. -__-"
  
• - On Monday, as usually "Monday Blues", I was dead tired from work and my back have not recovered fully....
  
• - On Tuesday aka today, I stay behind in the company till 11.15pm to accompanied my aunt who was having a conferencing call from oversea as she was the only one in the office Creepy, If i were to be alone
  

So this post is based on "Flashback" :)

Introduction
April, 12 was a rainy day thus it was held in the indoors. I was surprised to see the numbers of doll owners upon my arrival! a lot are new faces. But it seem awkward for me and Xue Ni to walk to the area as we can sense looks from general public as well as doll owner. Keke~ Luckily Jasmine waved at us, at least it got some tension off from me..

So K.I.S.S [Keep it short and sweet], Here are the pictures : sigh age catching up
(only took afew, back was aching then, i was concentrating on my back than on camera )

My first experience with sewing machine

Went to Xue Ni's house on Sunday to learn sewing from her mom.
It was our first sewing project is sew a yukata!

LOL~ I didn't manage to take the pictures of the process as i was too busy with the clothes that are assigned to me. So we start from drawing the pattern to the sewing of every pattern together. We started our project at 5++ pm and I ended up staying at her place till 11pm and have only completed the clothes. (^^" belt excluded due to time constraint)

The next day, after i got back from school, i quickly set up my mom's sewing machine using the "trial and error" method. I have faced some problem during the first 2 hours as the thread kept trapping after first round of sewing... Sigh~
And after much struggling, I finally found my way!!

So i manage to complete it with the belt. (but the belt is still not complete)

So here is my hard work. (^^ Xue Ni's mom helped me with the collar and the rim at the sleeve end, was hard for me as a newbie and time was running out. Really want to thank her alot)

Instead of Japanese Costume, it now looked
more like Chinese Costume. ^^

I made some modication to make the belt more Chinese Looking~

Behind the truth of CNY

While i was enjoying my Chinese New Year Celebration, I have to face with the cold fact that my examinations are around the corner.

YUP! That means to K books during CNY. Sigh~ What a miserable student life....
So here are some picture taken in the National Library:

It's is the incident that i lost me whole note of file.
It was a comedy~
Will post it up to share the laughter! So stay tune ;)

Chinese New Year!

This year, Chinese New Year was a bit different from the previous years

Due to the fact thats projects and presentation ended just 2 days before the first day of CNY, I hardly have any time to buy any new clothing. So with some nagging from my mom, I lazily got myself a black jean from downstair and a blouse from G2000 at nearby shopping mall.

For me, buying of clothing is always a headache because it's the only time i shop and buy my clothing. This is probably due to the difficulty in searching for the right size and it wasn't my habbit to shop for clothes *sometime it just make me wonder if i was born as a girl...

So I couldn't find any clothes to my liking and have decided my last resort.... to buy formal wear from G2000, i don't give a damn if relatives are going to say I looked old or what....

But to my suprise i found something to my liking and it has my size!!! Regardless of the price, i brought it!

Other than the design, I brought it for another propose... *grin*

Saw it?
The originally ribbon for my blouse was black
but mom said that it looks like attending a funeral wake
so i change the ribbons to red[which we have at home]

LOL~ Other than this, I also did some crazy stuff during the eve...

I make a mini bag for my doll to put his oranges...

Look at the comparison~ *Grin*

I also did some crazy during new year the first day itself~

Paying respect to the elders

Guess what~

He got Ang Pow from grandfather, dad, aunt, grandaunt and grandma...
*really his*

It was quite an enjoyable day for me and Louise ;) My relatives were feeling funny yet helpless at the sight of me. keke~

Doll meet at Vivo City

Kitty organised a doll meet at VivoCity, Pacific cafe.

At the beginning, Xue Ni and I were panicking as we are unable to find the venue [there was a change in Venue]...and felt tired of searching for the people [*we don't know anyone except Kitty, so it was hard to spot one person in a big shopping mall], we were technically search for anyone who is holding on to dolls on their arm. And finally we spotted 2 and later we proceed to the area after they made a phone call.

So because of this doll meet, I was able to meet up with many doll lovers to learn and gain knowledge. What's more, lovely dolls to see of course :)

So here are some pictures taken..Enjoy~ *there are 70+ photos, can put them all up...*

Adrian is back

Hurray~ Adrian is back from PS's house with new knitted cap, shirt, pants and shoes! <-- Picture will post up soon~

Thank you, PS and her mom!

When Adrian came back home, what came into my mind was to wash Adrian's hair.. Funny indeed, I think this is probably due my wig care and maintenance research for the past few days.

So here are some pictures of Adrian after his crow shower [he look like he's crying when I'm try to wash his hair just now... ~aww]

Adrian: Da ta! I'm all clean~ Need to put my clothes..
Jess: Wait~ i need some shots.
Adrian: .... ok

~Posing~

Adrian: Are you done? Get this towel off me..
Jess: Coming~ Coming~

More pictures of Adrian...

Adrian: One and only hor~
Next time I charge u $$

Adrian: Thanks to this comb,
my hair is neat again ;)

Bad Hair Day

This curly wigs came as default when I bought Louise...

Yeah~ I know it's a girl wigs, but it couldn't be help as H say there's no more stock for male's wig. I mean it either to take or leave it scenerio, so for anyone with logical mentality, you would definately take it.


Thinking that curly hair are just like straight hair, I combed the wig as it a little messy but it turns out to be even worse after the comb. So after some research on the web, it states "Combed curly wig with your hand gently" Hoping that I was wrong, I rang up pam to double check as she had perm her hair once. YUP, I was reassure that I'm wrong..


So have been thinking way of dealing with it. So this is what i came up with:

Using the method similar to dying of hair, I used small pieces of aluminum foil to separate each distinctive curl as doing it with just a pair of bare hand can't seem to separate the curl.

Just Started to separate those curl...

Currently half way through..

Things to accomplish:
Once I'm done with the separation, I will remove the foil one by one. Then I will soak in cold water with shampoo as the web states that by gently shaking the wig in the water and it will curl back to orginal. After the washing, dry it naturally"

So from this wig, I learnt the hard way- Normal comb are not mend for curly wigs.

Wish me good luck~
