OMG HALF DAY WORK ON SATURDAY AND SUN TEST SHOOT OVER THE WEEKEND. I SURVIVED THE ORDEAL.

Work ended at 1pm, so i had ample time to head to Sengkang for the meet-up with DaiGou to get the wigs and my bottoms. Didn't expect the package to be so heavy, pants were the heaviest -___-;

Rhoda was still rushing to finish up Sun Ce so i volunteered to help her get the spear tassels since the shop was at Bras Bersah and i wanted to go Art Friends. I lugged the DaiGou package to town and then back home ZZzzz

Reached home at 4+pm and wanted to take a nap, washed up abit and i thought might as well work a bit on my commission work and let it dry for the rest of the day. I ended up burrowing in for a nap at approaching 6..... I COULD NOT FALL ASLEEP AT ALL, I MERELY RESTED MY EYES AND ROLLED AROUND. Rhoda gave a me wake up call saying her wig looked a wee bit too dark and asked if i have anything for her to use. I avoid characters with brown or blonde hair coz there are way too many shades to choose from! My only characters with brown hair were Keiji, Okuni and Yukimura... Yukimura was the suitable for her to trim. I met up with her after 8pm to pass the wig and tassels to her and we also had dinner together. There was a presidential rally going on that night and i have no idea who that was ._.

Headed home at around 10pm and slept at 1.30am.......

Woke up the next day at 9.30am to get ready for the day's shoot, entertained mom by having her cooking for brunch before she drove me to Rhoda's place at 11.45am. I hated the amount baggage i brought over. THE SWORD WAS THE BIGGEST AND MOST FRAGILE BAGGAGE! Rhoda was still rushing to complete her costume when i reached while i.... lazed around and helped in whatever i can. Dragged my ass to do my hair and make up at 2pm. My hair decided to be a bitch to tie properly on that day -.-#

Spent almost half an hour getting it all gathered nicely but it still was not fully packed in, the sides were loose but i didn't want to care anymore! Make up wise, i drew my eyebrows ala smokey eye method and it was actually convincing! I could not stop giggling at the bushy ends XD
Contouring is spamming my shading powder, i resorted to outling the jawline with my eyebrow pencil... Eyes were a breeze, spammed my brown blusher like an eyeshadow and lined with brown eyeliner. Done. That took a total of 20 minuted i think. Next was trimming some excess hair off to get Sun Quan's rugged hairline, i took off half my sides and a chunk off the end of my sides. Rhoda also trimmed 2 inches off my back ._.

We packed up to leave at almost 4pm to Chinese Gardens and took another to put out gear together. Actually mine took around 30 minutes, Rhoda's armor were too fitting and the heat made it too tight to hold on. The velcro on her belt, arm guards and knee guards slowly gave way as the shoot went on. Yee Long, our photographer, and me took turns to pick her armor off the ground coz she could not bend down. Good thing i was able to do so... We did not take a lot of shots in the end and ended at 7pm, Rhoda's mood was too dampened to continue and sunlight was depleting like mad. So, this test shoot was more like a strength test for Sun Ce's armor.
