JC/UNI/dolls

I was reading my previous posts and realise I DO miss srjc days alot. Hahah the stupid things we did the really retarded nicknames we gave people. The encounters with this people. Friday being potato salad day or something because food from that cafe is relatively expensive. Staying late in school to supposedly study. Ah yes good memories JC was really a great part in my life and I am happy to say so are the friends. Currently definitely still in contact with this awesome bunch. I remember going to school to supposedly study even during the holidays so that in reality I can just meet up with my A2 pals and hang around. I remember I did not really mind secondary school ending as we all have to move on but omg...I dreaded the last day of JC life. Still we all have to move on. Now I am seriously dreading the last day of uni life. Every semester that ends brings me closer to the last day of uni which I am totally not looking forward too.
Uni life have definitely been freaking fun too!!! Very very different from JC life. We definitely have more freedom. We can actually bring drinks into the class! I have to say staying over at friends hall creates one of the best memories. I seem to forget the workload. In uni it is really quite bad. OMG...the essays, the presentations, the readings, the tutorial preparation... What often happens is, I would stay in NTU or go to Jurong point with my friends and only reach home around 7pm and I would then rush my work until 3am, sleep and wake up around 9am to prepare for school. That kind of explains why when school starts the days pass by very fast....because I seem to be speeding through it. The only thing I am not really looking forward to in uni is actually the workload...sighs..
Now that I think about it, I swear it is the friends and me wanting to socialise more that actually made JC and Uni life this fun...just my opinion though.

On to a totally different topic. I found this Japaneses like dolls very cute! Apparently it is called a Kokeshi. I have a yellow one as a handphone keychain.

I remember going to expo on a Sunday not too long ago to get popular books that were on sale. The sale was held at one of the expo halls. Can't remember which one. Anyway, they were having a cosplay event there too. I could see that the cosplayers really did put in effort in their costumes. The cosplayers aside, I saw 3 to 4 guys carrying dolls like the one seen in the pictures below. One of them was even combing the dolls hair! The thing is these sort of dolls can be very expensive and so is their costume. I am not trying to be judgemental here but I think these geeky guys really need to get a life. From their appearance, it is pretty obvious they spent more on the doll than tidying themselves. I mean seriously grown guys playing with dolls! Them being on the heavy side is not the problem but they looked rather unkempt...their dolls were definitely in a better condition than them. and I am pretty sure this geeky guys do more than dress their dolls up. I think I am being judgemental....whatever..Next we will have these geeks wanting to marry their dolls like that guy in Japan who married some game character.

By the way, that is real food in that bento.... Apparently, the doll blogs too...seriously WTF!

Here's another one. I can understand if a girl buys these dolls. I mean we all enjoyed dressing barbie when we were little girls. I have to admit these dolls do look more interesting than barbie. I, myself would not mind getting one if I have like extra money to spend. I think it would be fun to dress this dolls up and place them in the cabinet like a collectors item. The thing is, I can't help but feel that there is something seriously wrong for a grown man to be playing with dolls.
