putty in their hands

engaged the help of abbie for my CP yesterday night and his com crashed while printing my stuff halfway... yarghghghgh

couldn't help feeling responsible for it so i agreed to help get his lappie repaired today @ sim lim square... yeah, so i did well for my computing module... but IT stuff still freaks me out... sim lim too... plenty of people there who would take me for a carrot head *tok* hahaha... and on top of everything, i'm bad with directions....

naturally it's a terrible idea to send me there on my own...

but wait, abbie has an even more horrendously brilliant idea... why not get his parents to come along with me...

wow, so re-assuring to have 2 people watching me while i buang all over the place...
anxiety attack anyone? besides, i've never been alone with his parents before... isn't that gonna be weird? :/

anyway, i was so freaked and insistent that i do this alone that abbie relented...
but well that's only according to what abbie said...coz today's agenda went as planned - by abbie's parents -.-

they're supposed to drop me at sim lim and that's it... but some how his mum just came along with me into the bldg... i was like zomg... but in the end, everything went well... i'm just over-reacting, as usual...

i thought they were gonna drop me off at some random mrt coz his dad was asking me if outram or chinatown station is more convenient for me... i was spamming "all's good as long as it is a train station"...

but dunno why, while "sending" me to a station... they dropped by some china town market to eat lunch (even though i told them that mum has cooked me lunch)?
they bought me duck rice with dumpling soup and offered to packet lunch for my sis also.. i was like huh???...

and then they had to buy fishes and veges from the wet market afterwards...
they also bought me some frozen shrimp dumplings

so did we go back after that? wrong, we didn't... we went to another dept store to look at stuffs
and then his dad drove us to some other place to get some fabric for sewing...

i knew his mum has a med appointment sometime in the afternoon... was already expecting myself to be waiting at her clinic when i realized that we were heading towards bishan -.-

overall, it wasn't weird and not horrible like i imagined it to be...
it's rather nice in a weird way, almost as if i was going out with my aunts back then when i was very young...

i felt like i was being taken care of (babysit) and being taken out for a trip... a trip whereby i'm detached from the things that they are interested in... and was totally compelled to put my best meek behavior on (because i know that's how i should behave in front of elders). it's painful if i have to sustain it over a prolonged period...

i want to be able to say lewd things, bold things and weird things if i feel like it.. or pout and stuffs... more control over where i want to go and what i want to see... but i can never make those decisions when i'm going out with parents and stuffs... haha -_-

transformers

not a big fan, but i finally watched the movie today... courtesy of abbie, i think... coz i don't recall paying :S

overall quite nice... haha although i don't recall liking the first movie..

anyway i don't know the characs too well and i didn't really understand the cartoons back then (when i was younger)... which probably explains why i don't like transformers in general... confusing eh?

but i think for now i kinda like:
the little bad guy who got his wheel stuck on a mouse trap while tinkering with the safe...
and the crazy room mate... he's as funny as hell...

today's output

completed my aunt's maltese...


ran out of thread a few days ago so it was left limbless for about a day or so...

i also made a bigger scarf for nezumi bear

coz sissypoo was like saying it looks too small and weird on it... the smaller one went to the maltese

added in some fluffy thread on the edges :]

more amigurumi pics...


and more cute pics (of abbie) :D...

i like watching abbie sleep... peaceful

although i don't like him sleeping that much in my presence... he should be conscious at least? so that we can spend more time together :S

i also started on sheepu's head...


too tired to do the body... very little allowance for mistakes coz it's almost impossible to rectify errors... fluff also makes it hard for me to count the stitches...so i'll need to do it when i have more energy :/

amigurumi count:
1 sheep remaining and maybe a frog (for myself) to do until my amigurumi career is over....
i made so many for the people around me but i haven't any for my own... abbie's the frog prince... i'll make it so that froggie has real long limbs and all beefed up with more stuffings... lol... it should sleepover on abbie's pad for a couple of weeks to get his smell too...

sewing count:
1 monkey

battered

ever wondered what it's like to play with abbie?

he's not a vampire... but here's the takeaway from the 5 minute friendly bed tussle we had yesterday evening...


haha, can you imagine if we did that for 1 hour... maybe people will think that i have an abusive boyfriend :x

outcome of tussle: abbie landed on the floor, head first...nearly missing my needle pouch (which has erm, needles and scissors and other odds and ends) he's not hurt... which was real lucky (hitting the head's fine... he's lucky to have missed the pouch)

sissypoo was like warning us that this could end badly one day... given that my bed is too small a wrestling arena and given that its just right beside the wall, i could hit my head...

i also happen to have too many dangerous objects lying around (embroidery and yarn needles, scissors and 2 mm hooks)... hmm but well, what can possibly be more dangerous than abbie... i really think he can subdue an average person with a single blow ... i would die from one, of course...

mum was really alarmed by the green bruise... she thought i had kidney failure... or something like that... eeesh

haha, ok enough with the morbid entry, i suppose i could have devoted more time to CP than taking pictures of my bruises... but whatever...

anyway, let's look at some cute pics :D

major to-do list before school starts

today - spring clean and chill
1. clean up my room... promised mum that (and fold the clean clothes)

2. chill and think about what i can do for CP

3. add kpmg people to facebook so that i can tag them in the photos

tomorrow - CP day
4. plan out time line for CP,
- when the draft should be out
- when the final report should be out
- when the ppt should be out and
- rehearsal + the earliest date we can tell the companies we're ready

i think we haven't much time left...need to stir up the dust :x

5. email linkers for an update

6. think about how to deal with TI's request

7. email the group what I can do for them, as of now, I can offer to do all their ppts for them, which is 3 sets of ppt altogether...

since it's an important presentation, i think i should spend at least 3 days on each... also depends on the length of the presentation of course, may not need so long...
bleh don't know if that's too much or too little... maybe should offer more just to be sure...

of course still doing the editing, proof reading and suggestions... can't edit, proof read nor suggest when there's nothing out yet.. hahas.. hoping all 3 reports don't finish at the same time... eeesh lol

friday
8. meeting in school with prof hum... not confirmed yet, as of now...

9. look at my finances... and set meetings with friends, most likely after the 15th of Jul (that's when i get my pay for this month :S)

self enrichment/entertainment (if time permits)
A. learn how to cook more dishes
- leek dish (abbie's mum)
- frog soup (mum)
- bak kut teh (abbie's mum)

B. learn sewing
definitely have to learn from abbie's mum...
i want to make
- a stuffed animal and
- a quilt blankie with cute prints :D

C. crocheting
abbie's mum asked me to make a scarf for her... but i only have brown thread... gotta think of how i can spruce up the colour scheme...

oh but the more important thing is that i don't even know how to make one... yet :x

D. exercise more
feeble attempt to encourage myself to -_-ll

E. play facebook...
lol
