I've been missing since... forever.
Anyway, I had to rush like it has never been rushed since the Gold Rush on Monday.
I started rendering my exterior view at 10PM (Yes, the time is noteworthy and very important in this story).
At 3AM, in between my very screwed up model making, I run upstairs to check on the rendering.
"Rendering 0% 18353s"
I think, "Oh my Lord"
Despite the 0%, there was about 10% rendered and it was STILL BAD.
I start panicking.
At 7AM, it was about 40% rendered and I lose my cool.
I call Ray and panic, only because his tweet was the last one and I thought Clairey was already sleeping and I needed somebody to vent to.
Ray goes, "Okay okay, I'll go get ready and come over with my laptop okay? My laptop is new so it's fast"
I go, "I love you"
A little while later, he arrives while my Mum was trying to calm me down with breakfast (which kinda worked since food has as much magical healing qualities as Ivan does.. and he has alot).
He sits for his second cup of coffee while listening to me rant on and on like a baboon-loon afterwhich, I interrogated him about his random New Year breakup.
Then, we head upstairs for him to help me render my stuff. He helps me decorate a unit too which I was grateful for. I love him more now.
-I also owe him 12 polystyrene cups of Starbucks now-
-I told him one a month-
Anyway, his renderer on Sketchup is so much more awesome than mine.
And it really made the entire 3D kinda 'pop'.
By the time I was done with my presentation board (threw together haphazardly) it was already 5:30 and we went over to help Clairey. The aforementioned render was still not finished.. believe it or not! It took Ray's computer only 6 minutes to render the thing.
Then we headed to the printers at 7PM while the heavens unleashed its dam waters.
By the time I got home, it was 9PM and all I wanted to do was die.
Tuesday! This was the day that made my past two weeks a living hell but it was worth it.
I rushed like a sleepy baboon-loon at 9AM because I wanted to hand up my models fast.
I reach school with brother in tow (in my dress and all) and went to the Drawing Studio only to find NO note at the door. I called Clairey, she said "Check the sixth floor?"
I check the sixth floor and there were NO notes on the doors.
I called Clairey and she said "Check the staffroom?"
I check the staffroom and Ms. J says "Models don't need!"
I go "What?"
She says "Just your presentation boards, because there's no space"
I didn't need to rush then.. cause my presentation board was at the printers and Clairey and Ray were gonna help me pick it up and pin (which I owe them for, too).
So me and brother rush over to the registration place and we walk in to find both families up and about, dressed up and happy.
The moment we arrive, we were rushed into the room where my sister signed papers and officially became entitled to a second name - Mrs. Lee.. and in 50 years time, she'll be entitled to Madam Lee but we shall leave that for the future.
I kept looking at my Dad to see if he was gonna cry but nah, no tears on his account.
In fact, no tears on anybody's account - Good job, guys!
After that, we had a short photo-taking session courtesy of Anna (my sister's friend and photographer of the day) before heading over to lunch at Tai Thong in SS2.
DIM SUM! :D
My brother said "Is that Loh Mai Kai?"
I replied "No, it's Loh Your Kai"
A response which I immediately regretted because nobody let me forget it after that.
Anna told me I suffer from the same thing as her - Verbal Diarrhoea.
Yes, I agree.
Oh, I wore my never before worn zebra-ish dress. I liked the fact that I got a chance to wear it.
The next time you'll be hearing of this marriage is in December.
After the marriage was officiated, my PohPoh turned to my second sister and casually asked "When's your turn?"
I think she's on a grandchild-getting-married high.. particularly because my cousin also got married last year.
I'm glad that she laid off the fact that I am not even bothered to date.. which she didn't last year... XD
Today, I slept.
No, really.. that's all.
Oh, and I changed modems because apparently, my old one just decided to give up its very worthwhile existance.
I took my Dad's new AzTech which was ditched because apparently, my brother was having wireless problems.
He asked "Does it work?"
I say "Yes.... Can I keep it?"
Like it's a stray animal.
Well, it's MY stray animal and the lifeline of my life.
I'm going to crash, burn and EXPLODE tomorrow at the presentation.
My model is so unsatisfying it doesn't even have enough to leave much to be desired.
