Quadsuit Looks update

Alright so... the whole day it's been bugging me. My outline of the quadsuit looks... like a cat! Not a Tiger..

Sooo.. I spent another hour taking pictures of myself in a position most suitable for a Tiger. It was hard XD I had do numerous positions because they're either too uncomfortable but perfect shape/position for the Tiger's body, or too comfortable but does not match a Tiger's body at all..

Sooo I decided to go with both. Half half. Usually in this position, it may wear you out because the front-to-be-stilts (for front paws) is too short, therefore lowering your top half which can be very tiring.. But I can get used to that so it's probably alright for me :) I just hope my completed suit looks like this but yeah.. doubt it. Probably look somewhat close.


Look like a Tiger now? :)

Quadsuit

Here it goes again :P

I've been yet again, inspired by certain people on their quadsuits.. it's just bloody amazing!! And because of that, I'm so pumped up I'm gonna try to make my own. I've estimated that it will take me about 5-8 months to finish it, or probably a year.

What is a quadsuit you may wonder. Know those fursuits? like the Easter Bunny one. Well those are fursuits, where you put on the big face mask and stand upright. Quadsuits on the other hand, requires you to be on all fours, with the headpiece attached to a helmet which of course goes to your head.

Now, they are really expensive.. a full fursuit one can cost up to $1000.. as a mascot.

Usually work in progress ones sell up to $200, with only the foam and exoskeleton. I've estimated.. that I'll be spending well over $300 on this, but hey I'm pretty sure its worth it XD I know I may sound immature and weird, but I love acting as animals.. even my little brother sits on my back and I become his "horse" for the time being (Damn he's getting heavier.. don't think I can keep that up) And I'm pretty good at running on all fours - For the few [about 3 people] that have seen me.. you know what I mean ;) -

OKAY soo I'll only upload this one image, and about in a years time or so i'll upload the finish product roflss. Along with the images and videos I would have taken along the way.

Colour? White and Orange. Animal? Tiger. I don't think it will turn out so good though. I have no experience what so ever, so I've decided to do this to improve my creative skills and imagination. Also to move me away from anime and games =)

Here's the plan. Don't worry about the shading, that's just my foam planning... XD

Dang.. I've just set my goals too high here

Tired...

I've been so tired lately. After school, I would fall asleep for about 3-4 hours, everyday. I seriously don't know what's wrong with me :( Due to this, I haven't been able to complete school work properly either...



Improvise?

I must be out of my mind. Last Thursday I went and bought mince beef... and mushrooms. And I've forgotten about them. Today I remembered, and now I'm thinking.. why did I buy that for? I have no idea what to do with them.. and tomorrow is it's due date.. so I decided to improvise and.. make SOMETHING out of it. Not sure what I'm making.. but if I end up with a bad stomach and toilet problems.. I'd know why XD

And so I washed the mushrooms.. chopped it up, took out the mince meat, mixed it with oil, sugar, salt and pepper.. I just added random amounts. Still don't know what I'm doing :) And lastly.. I found coriander in the fridge so I chopped them up too, and some onions, which I chopped up till there were about 1x1mm in size =D In the cupboard I found some umm.. what are they called.. ahh those soft tortillas or something.

I guess.. what ever the meat turns out to be.. i might be able to eat them with those tortillas.. maybe I should make some rice too.. -shrugs- I seriously hope I don't food poison myself :P

Edit 1 [Cooking] : So I managed to cook them all.. and I actually forgot to put the onion in first.. so I just chucked them in somewhere halfway through :) To my surprise.. it actually smells kinda nice! But.. we say looks can be deceiving.. I'm gonna say "smells can be deceiving.." I've placed a lid on the pan so that the flavor can umm be absorbed? Iunno.. I shall check it again in a few minutes. There seems to be quite a lot of liquid in there. Might put it on simmer till it condenses..

Edit 2 [Tasting] : .. omgsh... It actually tastes quite nice! I was too afraid to try it first.. So I scooped a bit into those small sauce dish, and gave it to my mum. She she tried it.. and she was quiet for too long so I got really nervous XD Then she told me it was pretty good. Ahhh so glad.. went back to the kitchen and tried it for myself, and to my surprise I liked it :) It wasn't awesome or anything, but it's pretty decent and edible. Time to fry up the tortillas!!

Edit 3 [Final] : Mmmm... I like ;) Here's the pictures. Everyone else ate it with prawn crackers =)

Update Summary

Alrighties.. so I can't be bothered typing out what happened in the last few days.. but to sum it up..

After school on Thursday I went with Jolly, Stefani, Melissa, Swissanah, Jessica L,  Megan, Cindy and Grestine to celebrate Jolly's 17th :) We went to stockies and.. well the plans went astray and some stuff happened.. which wasn't so good..

And I was finally able to buy my watch.. A casio one, for the price of $119 ^^

Hmm.. oh yes! Today in hosplitality, we made Meat Pies!! Mmmm.. it was yummy! But there was something off about the flavour lol. Overall very nice. I put it back in the oven when I got home because it was soft XD

Left to right from top then bottom: Megan, Diana, Melissa, Rebecca's and mine =)

-sniff-

I'm sick. So sick that I'll post about today tomorrow after school. Omgsh.. I hope I heal up for bio tomorrow.. I'm trying to draw out my final copy of the model and it's so hard when I can't see properly because my eye is swollen.. and it's so annoying that I have to reach for a tissue like.. every minute or something cause of my blocked and runny nose. The reactions to a many cats.. xD Such bad luck for one who loves animals. Why the allergy.. WHYYYYY!!....

Fight!

Still gotta pull my act together. I got my Maths results back from Ariel and had 75% so I'm pretty please with that. I just need to do even better now. For English I got.. 65%.. same as usually.. BUT I can do better still! :) And For religion I got 87% so that's like.. heaps good. Should try and keep it at that level, or strive for higher results, if it's even possible for me ^^

I'm still disappointed with me, for being unable to keep to my timetable.. as in doing homework and assignments properly.. I was literally saved when bios' due date was moved from Monday to Friday.. and I still have PDHPE which is due on Wednesday, which I still haven't completed. I planned to finish it yesterday (Monday) But I kept on falling in and out of sleep xD Didn't get to work on it. I wanted to have Dana check it too... :'(

ALSO, my sleep time if still in holiday mode. Maybe that's why. I keep on ending up going to bed around 12.. and I should be sleeping at 10, waking up at 6am everyday.. gonna force myself to change my sleeping patterns :)

AND I have calculated an estimate of this year's spending fee for me..
 $225 (group BD) + $500 (Special Occasion) + $480 (Parkour) + $1040 (Dog food) + $45 (Jersey) + $30 (Parkour shirt/uniform) = $2320... and I haven't included dog vaccinations, worms/tablets.. groceries.. food.. and etc. Looks like no shopping for me this year :) Must cut back on buying things I want (Watch is an except) -sigh-

Dear Certain Dreamer

That weird and unusual dream you had about me, and what happened in it or what I said in it. Well.. I was shocked because I was thinking along those lines in the holidays :) But who knows now! Depends on the circumstances, if anything happens or not.. good or bad.. it might happen and it might not.

SMILEE!!

Last day of Parkour Foundations for Flow program

:( I'm happy and sad! :) Today was great. Although I fell and landed head first (back of head) and got a little dizzy.. but everything was find afterwards =P (from a height of 1m. Thank god it was that soft tyre-like floor at the park..) I shall be continuing every Tuesday and Fridays (Definitely Fridays) but maybe not always Tuesday. Depends if I got time on my hands. Shall be getting the Parkour 9 Lives t-shirt. Yeah it's a uniform =)

Awesome day

I like today :) I received my studies of religion assignment back and.. I got WAY better than I expected! Sir called me up and the only thing that went through my brain was "oh shit I failed.." because.. truth be told.. Religion is one of my weakest subjects.. but then.. when I got there.. he showed me my marks and congratulated me, and said I did A LOT better than last time. So I improved :) He was right afterall.. that last assessment we had I failed it and he told me he knows I can do a lot better, and maybe I should move seats.. cause the people I sit next to bludge in class to ahahas. But I didn't move anyway... no way XD

Pretty good for completing and understanding it the night before. Two friends scanned my work for the info. I wonder how they went :P

Dreading the English one..

Fan

Gah~!!
I swear I am going to buy a FAN. Either a small table one.. or one that can fit somewhere in my room. My room is seriously the furthest from the aircon... and its so bloody hot!! I'm like.. dying in my room.. even with the windows open there isn't much difference..

CNY

Happy Chinese New Year! =)

Not much happened this year. Due to certain employees that "dumped" back their work on my parents because they HAD to do stuff for Chinese New Year, my parents spent their entire day in the garage working on their employees job. I didn't see much of my dad today. He went in and out of the house delivering stuff to other people. I spent my whole day in my room either TRYING to work, or falling asleep because I was tired for no reason. It was very difficult, since every time I try to concentrate my head starts hurting then I feel so sick and dizzy. I should have stayed home yesterday, knowing the weather was so hot and.. I do get sick easily :) So.. my grandma did the cooking.. and no one really cleaned the house up. It was normal. Everyone was doing their own thing. We didn't eat dinner as a family either. I heard the fireworks, but didn't see it. All I saw was my work. My dad came in and took my work table so I had to use my other table and it was so small!! They gave it back after the traditional praying thing outside. Gave back my table with candle wax all over it rofls.

Well, looks like I'm up late. Why is it that around this time, I start to get better, THEN I'm able to do my work.. I slept for 4-6 hours during the day.. and now I have to stay up late to study a bit of pe for the quiz tomorrow, and finish off bio holiday homework (yeah.. I have completely forgotten about that) XD
