Great day!

Phew, had an awesome day today~

It amazes me how 'kiasu' Singaporeans can be when it comes to freebies. Was waiting for Melissa at the Bugis mrt when I spotted three people giving out free bags. There was a sign saying "Get spotted carrying this bag and win prizes". Like hell I'm going to get a gaudy, super cheap looking carrier bag and carry it around Singapore just so I can spotted and win prizes. I'd rather drop dead than be caught carrying it. Seriously, how 'kiasu' can you be? Scrambling to get the bag and then snatching it from the person's hand before walking away, stuffing it into your handbag... =w= What's the point of getting it then? Weirdoes.

Melissa was late. No thanks to the crowded mrt which made her take the express bus. Some express bus. Hahaha... Stupid bus driver bluff her. XD Not pointing fingers or anything. I had my own source of entertainment so time flew by.

We headed straight down Victoria Street to look for this costume shop Melissa wanted to get a wig from. After much hunting, we found ourselves along the famous Arab Street. Famous because many of my cosplayer friends get their cloth from there. 90 Arab Street. That place is HUUUUUGE!! Finally, we came to Aliwal Street where the costume shop was. It was so cool!!! The number of costumes there! Melissa wanted to show me the fish head. Instead, we found Gingie from Shrek!! Hahaha... Kawaii!! The lady at the costume shop was kind of unfriendly though. So in the end, Melissa changed her mind about the wig. She was going to get mousse instead.

Headed back to Bugis Junction, stopped for lunch before heading down to Chinatown to look for a shoemaker. Because we heard that Chinatown had cheap stuff but good quality. Too bad. They made shoes, not boots. Damn. I did find some stuff that I had been looking all over for my ANBU costume.

Returned to Bugis. Haha, don't know why we were running all over the place. XD But it was fun. Got some bubble tea. Ahhhh~ Missed it so much. Hahaha... And then we went to this shop near Action City that sold some manga stuff.. As in tools you need to draw manga. I have this new respect for mangakas around the world. I never knew there was so much involved in drawing manga!! Like the screen tones, the cutting and all!! *kudos*

Dropped by Seiyu to get Melissa's mousse. Cool!! They have silver, blonde, red, brown and black. Now I can cosplay characters with different coloured hair!! Sugoii!! But one can of mousse is like $12.50, and with my length and thickness, I would actually need 2. T.T Oh, did I mention that she got (thinks...) I forgot what it's called already, but it's to make your skin tan. Hahaha... Cool!!! Now Melissa's seriously going to look her part!! *thumbs up* Can't wait!!! She's gonna be blonde and tan!!

We ran into her cheerleading captain and friend around Bugis. She asked me to join cheerleading. T.T If I weren't studying overseas, I would seriously jump at the chance to cheerlead. darn

All in all, it was an eventful day. My legs are killing me though. Tonight, I am so going to do my costume. No more procrastinating!! Cosfest is this Sunday!
