I was going to just copy pasta the link to Bae's Arrival/Box Opening over at the DOA forums BUT I forgot that they require registration for viewing. SO being a Lazy Ass, I'm copy pasta-ing the post here instead: 

( Bae's Box Opening (yes it is Damned Exciting especially costing what he does and having waited as long as I have) )

So that's him, all here, now and mine. I'm floating on the happy 8D There's some maintenance I'd like to do on him like sanding down the seams on his thighs and hands and removing that gloss spot on his cheek (thankfully not a huge obvious one). I've been reading up on sueding since I hear that makes him much more poseable. But that'll take a full free day or more, as well as supplies so I'll just concentrate on sewing like hell and doing things like wig stands or a bed. 

Gah, so many new crafty things to do and so little time. I like. ( ^___^)

 My room has an insane amount of IKEA products in all corners and I plan to have even more. Looking into the perfectly organised cupboard  makes me incredibly happy.Sense of Accomplishment and all.

After weeks of waiting, Bae Ryu is finally here. It's his name for time being until I'm really satisified with one. I'm none to fond of calling him his model name Luke all the time. 

He is beautiful. Obviously. I could nitpick about the imperfections here and there (I think DOD might have been rushing a bit to clear orders again) but none of them are major enough for me to make much noise about. 



It's not the best of pictures (and that damned wig from DOD is SUCH A PAIN TO GET ON RAAAR) but it'll do until I've done up a proper set of clothes for him. I had box opening with Papa Rox earlier today. 

Bae isn't very heavy but he feels nice and solid, about a kilo to 2 kilos. I was doubting my decision to do this until I opened up the box and started fiddling with him. Damned expensive? Hell yes. Worth it? Completely. I am utterly in love all over again.The first BJD I ever saw was DOD's Homme Ducan and I've adored their dolls ever since. Although I've seen ones from many other companies (in all shapes, sizes and colours) over the Net and in store, I've always liked DOD best. 

It's nice to finally get a doll from my 'dream company' instead of just hopelessly oogling over the Internuts. There's so much to do for him! Clothing, housing, the works. I've rarely meddled in the DIY side of handicraft so new materials and skills to look forward to. And endless research/reading and instruc I do so love being on a crafty-creative rush ^^

'UP' was even better than I expected it to be. I went all leaky bucket after the opening. Pixar is so good at making the audience feel, be it happy or sad. I'm so glad I caught it with Auntie Harizah. 

It may or may not be the cause of my melancholy for the rest of the day. The folks are away with the brother in Redang. School is starting tomorrow and I know absolutely nothing and nobody. 

EDIT: MY BOY IS FINALLY SHOWING ON SINGPOST'S TRACKING. ATTHE SORTING CENTRE AS OF 12.18AM TODAY. COME HOME QUICK PRECIOUS. 8D

I've been in limbo for the past week or so. Waiting for this, that and the other. Makes me feel stagnant. 

Waiting for my bank account to sort itself out so I won't be negative. 
Waiting for Uni to start also, with mixed feelings.
Waiting for Pop's highly belated birthday watch to ship out from the US.
Waiting for my boy to ship out from Korea. 

Yesterday, my money went positive, I got notice from the watch guys AND AND AND DREAM OF DOLL SENT ME SHIPPING NOTICE. LUKE IS COMING HOME AFTER WAITING 48 WORKING DAYS.

So, yeah. Yesterday rocked. I made another little owl. And all these things add up to take my mind off how depressing the world is lately and, good God, all the death.  

Shun Qi's birthday polaroids are up
And I'm spamming everyone with the link. Bwa har har. 

ALSO I'VE TAKEN THE LEAP. 
YES. 
I WILL BE THE PROUD OWNER OF A BEAUTIFUL BALL-JOINT DOLL IN 6 WEEKS OR SLIGHTLY LESS.
He's a Dream of Doll, DOI Luke. 8D
I have always loved their style (they really are dreamy) and thanks to a marvelous promotion they're having AND ROX MY LOANSHARK, IT IS DONE. (My love for you is rapidly approaching infinity babe.)

GLEE GLEE GLEE. I AM GLEEFUL. And terribly psyched.

I have uploaded my Japan roll to photobucket. Because it's less pain-in-the-ass-ish than Flickr. 

EDIT: I WILL STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE DEN OF ANGELS FORUM. I. WILL. NOT. GO. TO. THE. DOD. WEBSITE. 600. TIMES. A DAY. I MUST NOT WILL NOT CANNOT. KJDGVJKSXFBABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPOQ.

Finally hooked my debit card up to my Paypal account 8D And I'm rarring to go BUY SOMETHING AMAZING....Except I don't know what. I could just start legalising my J-Rock collection but getting them in the mail won't feel very excite. 

I am also sick. I think. Got the flu thing from the Mother who got it from the Father. It's not that bad considering that most of my runny nose days are 6 times worse and have me feeling beyond crappy/mostly dead. 

I was supposed to make pancakes 1.5 hours ago but got sucked into surfing the Internuts again. Sigh. Hungry. This is such a pointless post. I will go feed myself and do something productive like wrap books and clear my room.
