How to become Jesus in less than an hour. (Although we took 4. XD)

1. Google "Jesus" to decide what look you wanna go for.

2. Go buy some cloth. I got 3 meters of white and 1 meter for maroon.
PS. You can actually get a bit more. Don't be stingy like me heh.

4. Do a little planning. :)

5. And some measurements. :)

6. Mark out the important points.
Eg. Sleeves, where to cut, where to sew till.

7. Test it out on paper so you don't waste cloth.

8. Cam-whore with the prototype. (optional)

9. Cut away!

10. Sew away!
PS. I started with the sleeve then moved on to the main body thingy.

This was our first failed attempt at using my great-grandma(?)'s sewing machine.

The bobbing thread was probably not put properly. Heh.

11. Fix your error. (probable)

12. Continue sewing!
PS. You might want to just sew it by hand if you plan to take 1 hour to figure out how the sewing machine works.
PPS. Yes, that's the reason why we took 4. long. hours. that. stretched. into. the. wee. morning. of. 3/4 am.
PPPS. Which led to lotsa clumsy accidents like pricking myself. And bumping my head everywhere.

Note: It helps if you have help.

13. Figure out how long you want the sleeve to be so you know where to join your sleeve to the main thingy.

14. Have a break, have a Kit Kat! ;)

15. Continue sewing. Again.

Can see the AWESOME stitches. Hehe.

And here, our almost completed tunic-ey thing Jesus wears. :D

16. Cut a V so your neck can come out.
PS. I cut a small slit first like \_______/ before cutting the V in front so the back doesn't have a weird/inappropriate V shape as well.

17. Flip it inside out so you don't see the stitching.

18. Cut a paper beard out!
PS. I was supposed to use yarn. But I couldn't find it. So IMPROVISE!

This is what it looks like. You can poke two holes for strings/rubberbands so that you can, you know, have a beard without having to hold it all the time.

19. Try it on.

20. Go crazy! :DDD

My trusty sidekick / awesome friend / Yong Sze in the Jesus costume.

So yeap, there you have it! A Jesus outfit ready for anyone to rock in, all in 20 simple/brainless steps! I'm sure you can do in within the hour...................... if you have a functioning sewing machine that YOU KNOW HOW TO USE.

Just so you know, there was a best dress kinda thing at the event (Chao Wee's 17th Birthday; gosh I feel so old) and I came in second. For my mini performance, I did a lame ass (cause I can't/suck-at) hip-hop/shuffling thing like the Jesus in LMFAO. And for the finals (lol), I was asked to do something for 5 seconds.

I said, "Turn off that music! Youuuuuuuuuuuu people want me to do something for 5 seconds??? I gave you light (okay, I know God did, not Jesus, but people got me hehehe), I gave you the sky, I gave you the birds, *this is when the crowd started lmfao-ing I think* I gave you the trees; NOT ENOUGH AH? Want me to do something for 5 seconds... you think I not tired ah?"

When the crowd cheered, I just bowed politely and left. LOL. I wanted to say, "Hell, I rose from the dead *again* just to come to this party okaaaay." But I forgot. Hahahaha. #fail

I came in second, behind Cat Woman. Wan Lin (the girl in the shower; no, she wasn't naked, she was wearing a bathrobe) came after me. For the guys, it was Dr. McDreamy (Darren?) who faked a CPR on another guy, then ... Michael Phelps (Sebas) who did like that fish/worm breakdancing thing after "plunging" into the water (ground) -- damn (Y), and then the Muay Thai Boxer (Gim Toong). The transvestite (Cavyn) might have been somewhere... can't remember! But it was an awesome party. Thanks Chao Wee the Black Swan! :DDD

So yeap! That's that for now. See you folks again soon! ;)

PS. Me no bring camera so no pictures. Mebbe I can grab them from FB. Will see how that goes! Till next time! :)
PPS. I drove on the highway for the first time yesterday. #fail
PPPS. Today was my cousin's wedding registration. Like omg she's finally married. Hehe. (Y)
