Why am I doing this?

Only after two days of actually going for classes at uni, and I’m so exhausted. I come back pretty much dead to anything else other than food, shower and bed. Lovely. No time to read any materials, but already we’ve got assignments. Oh joy.

I can’t think/blog/compute anything at the moment anymore, so I’m heading off to bed. It’s a long day tomorrow. AGAIN. Why am I doing this to myself?



In recap, and what’s next

I can’t really remember what I did this week actually; more of what I DIDN’T do. :D

I DIDN’T go for enrollment on Monday (because I had already done so on Friday).
I DIDN’T get up in time to go for a talk at the uni on Tuesday.
I DIDN’T turn up for more talks on Wednesday; opting instead to spend a good few lovely hours with the girls from ATP and their Blythes at Brunetti’s on Lygon.
I DIDN’T do any sewing for the summer themed swap on Thursday even though I haven’t started on much.
I DIDN’T complete the bikini sets for the swap yesterday (Friday) because I had to remake the tops three times (to get a half decent result) and I don’t have proper material for the bottoms.

Today, I shall head out to Lincraft again (just because I KNOW they have the fabric there) and out to Eckersley’s to get stuff to finish up my swap stuff. I can’t wait because it’s always been a favourite haunt of mine for model making materials when I was in Newy.
And tomorrow, I’m off to Nat’s for a good ol’ session of Blythe talk and customising!

Dear God,

I know I don’t talk to you often enough, and my mind drifts off during homily every week in church, but if you find me someone who’s willing to swap their tutorial time with me for Marketing, I will forever be in your debt (not that I’m already not). That and I will not use the devil that is E(vil)bay for a week.

Thank you for listening,
Me

Update: Great, now I have to NOT use Ebay for a week. But at least I swapped the tutorial. For one at an ungodly (oops.) hour.



I owe you guys one

A summer evening

I was out at the Osaka Twilight Festival (held at the Treasury Gardens) today and caught up with Natalie, her other half, Mark. She had her Blythe with her (Veronique), and so we tottered around the place taking pictures of the girls in the lovely setting. Around us, there were heaps of people just enjoying the festival; some were in the traditional kimonos, kids were in their yukata outfits, and whiffs of takoyaki and yakitori could be smelt from the tents set up around the area. I scored a lovely painted balloon in the yoyo balloon fishing game (total cost of one gold coin) and my sis and mom (who went to the festival with me) had similar goodies. :D

All in all, it was a lovely way to spend a summer Sunday evening.
