plastiKINGs (probably the longest post ever)

We'd first met up in my house, 17th June during the school holiday to crack our brains for ideas. Then we came up with the weirdest magazine name - plastiKINGs which meant the verb "plastic" in continuous tense "ing" or could also be deciphered as the kings of plastic surgery. It wasn't only the magazine name that's weird but also the theme we'd chosen, plastic surgery. Who in the hell would choose that?


Group members:
Tan Pei Sin Wendy reluctantly took the leader position and did a really bad job
did the featured article, mostly all the printing, drew the stupid culeiziii comic thrice

Ding Yan Wen
edited the picture for the featured article and printed it for more than 5 times, test yourself and heart to heart talk

Low Mian En
contributed the idea for test yourself, printed Yamada Ryosuke :) and did both test yourself and heart to heart talk

Cheryl Yap
tried her best not to plagiarize Juliana's Wonder, discovered her talent to draw lines :)

Soe Yuan Ting
did Feeling A Thought for Juliana's Wonder, tried all she could to print Yamada but unfortunately turned out to be a "litmus-Yamada". Also printed the front cover title and sacrifice her sleep to cut the letters out one by one even though I asked her not to do so if it was too late

Anyway, thanks everyone for the brilliant partnership. I really didn't know how to distribute the work because once did by different person, the columns would turn out to be really distorted. So I had to gather all the work and do it myself. I knew that I did a very bad leadership.

Low probably felt bad as I didn't accept many of her ideas, the speech bubble and sorts. It wasn't because her ideas weren't good, but creativity and taste were more to personal preference. Anyway, brilliant idea for "Where's her face???" Lol.

I bet SYT felt really guilty as she was so busy with her choir practices and all she could do was menial thing like printing. Yet her printer went wrong then printed out a purplish Yamada. That purplish Yamada finally found its home in YSE's file. At last, she could kill her guiltiness by cutting those really discrete letters late at night and dared not even complain about how late she went to bed, which she usually does.

For YSE, she probably felt the same way, only difference was she blamed me for being talented so I had to draw the comics. Well, she still discovered her new talent to draw lines with stabilo pens. Anyway, she contributed the idea for the title of the featured article - Dreams Come True - when she was daydreaming about Hey! Say! JUMP!

As for our high and mighty Ding Yan Wen a.k.a God, she too discovered her new talent to cut using a blunt blade. Rofl! I entrusted her with the featured article's picture and she did a fabulous job, not turning me down. As expected! *Dingnism sign*

I was, and I guess all of us were happy that we did not gave up when we couldn't see the light for the front cover. We were dumbfounded during the English class the day before yesterday. Everyone lackadaisically just let it be. I felt really bad for not doing my job properly, especially when witnessing everyone's frowning expression. Sigh. But anyway, it turned out good today! Everyone got their ass off the chair to complete the whole magazine. Today it really felt like a group work. And then we bid farewell to the our hardwork. Reminiscing the whole process, we actually lost confidence on our work when we compared it with the other groups'. However today... OUR'S STILL THE BEST!
