I Just Did Facial!!!

In the mood to blog a bit but can't think of a title. Hee... But... I really just finished a facial. Bought a facial steamer quite some time ago from Mustafa. Finally thought of putting it to use just now. Steam a bit, squeeze some clogged pores and then a mask. Hopefully nothing will happen to my face. I can't remember how long ago I bought those masks from Sasa.. Hahaha.. Getting old... Shouldn't be too late to take care of my skin now.. xD

Just took a some glance round my room... Mess is building again! =X I tried my best to maintain everything really. Haiz..

These few days been tiring. Other than helping Jason to move his house on Wednesday, the rest of the stress came from throwing curry pok! =X Its Buffet War from Viwawa. Haha.. Quite fun game similar to Gunbound.

Figure is not going well with my pocket. This week he rob me to go casino again. Lost again! But not me.. Bcos I didn't bet.. I hope everything pick up along the way. Hopefully this is a prosperous year for me.

Just Updates...

Chinese New year is not over yet but at least everything is back to normal because my parents started working. Heee... My room is still pretty neat at the moment, I hope I don't mess it up too soon. And it's one of those days again... Feeling lethargic... Sloth-ing around...

Yesterday was officially the first date with him after Valentine's, though we did meet on Tuesday but it was too late to go anywhere. We ended up at the casino that night and I contributed 1k. Zzzz.... So anyway yesterday was supposed to be a belated Valentine's but it was not romantic at all. Quite pissful! He wanted to bring me go shop for a present but I don't want! I'm getting very sick of shopping for my own present everytime!!! You only offer that when you are filthy rich so the girl can get to choose anything!! If not, then you better go buy a present yourself, whether cheap or expensive but it serves more meaning!!

Went Kinokuniya at Takashimaya to shop for a magazine which I saw from a Facebook user. I want the freebie inside which is a self assembly TLR camera!! Out of stocks!! But I placed an order and would be here before March! Hee.. The funny part is - they said I can't cancel my order. Placing an order is only filling up name and phone on a slip without paying anything. What can they do to me if I don't want to collect it?! Dumb!

Dinner was at Ma Maison Japanese Western Food. Wilson was the one who brought me there. Took photos the last time but lazy to blog about it. Hehe...

He told me to take this pic of him... So hiao!


There's always no pic of me...




Take this and pay at the cashier...


Aiyo I like this pic.. Anyway its smoked salmon.


Scallop capaccio.. Love it!!


His omelette butter rice with beef stew. Don't look appealling but taste good.


My hamburger steak. Patty nice but sauce a bit too saltish.

I almost forgot that I went Botanic Garden on Tuesday. Wanted to go try out my 24-70mm on some flowers. Oreos and me almost melted! So damn bloody hot!!! I was lugging a bag and tripod around. We were expecting a lot of colors but only greens. Lots of trees and grass. Zzzz... Gave up venturing after 15minutes. Only shot a few miserable pics.

The only flower I shot..


Photoshopped!

Really love the hue in the 2nd pic. Saw a series of photos from a Facebook user and now trying to learn from it. It's quite interesting to photoshop photos of flowers because of the variety of colors. Hmm... I must make a trip to the Botanic Garden again another time...

I Screwed Up CNY!!!

First of all, Happy New Year!!!

Another year passed and I am still the same. As in unproductive.. Haiz...

It seems like every year I had to spend the eve rushing with spring cleaning. Past years had to rush overnight and complete by the morning of the 1st day. This year slightly better since I had my room revamped in 2009, not much of work. In fact, it's just the normal cleaning and tidying which I supposed to do regularly. Everything done by 11pm on the eve.

This year's CNY is by far the least interesting I ever had. Totally didn't feel like it's CNY. Didn't feel like it was coming. Don't feel like it is now. I spent the eve's night like any other night - punt and watch TV. That was how I screwed up! I stayed up all night and I slept all day when everyone was visiting my house!! Could hear my mother banging on my door a few times but I pretended I couldn't hear. =X

Mimi also dozed away with me in his gold kua....

Can't give a hoot to what they think about me sleeping on the CNY!! Tired, so sleep!! And sleep also got angpow!! =S Some left angpow for me before they left... Actually I'm not very concerned about getting angpows. Afterall I'm already grown up, take angpow buay paiseh meh?!

And so, I spent this year's 1st day of CNY sleeping. Well, I think I did this before... Not the first time.. =X Not to mention, that was also how I spent this year's Valentine's!! Zzzz... How boring!! Haiz... I hope to get over with everything and resume as usual soon.

iPhone Is So Amazing!!!

I know.. I know... I said the same when I had the Blackberry... BUT!! It's different this time!!! I'm head over heels in love with my iphone now!!! It's a damn amazing gadget!!! It can do better than what the Blackberry does and even more!!

Things that I can do the same with a Blackberry:
MSN as usual...
Twitter as usual...
Blog as usual...
Receive push email as usual...

Things that are BETTER than Blackberry:
Access Facebook with better interface!
Snap photos with better RESOLUTION!
Play games that are more fun and interesting!
Watch Youtube without error!
Install applications that are more useful and interesting!

Things that Blackberry CAN'T do:
Edit my photos and add lots of effects!!!
Log on to IRC which I wasn't able to do with my Blackberry for some unknown reason!!!
Play Bejeweled Blitz and Texas Hold'em Poker connected to Facebook!!!
Surf webpages that has flash contents!!!

There's so much more but I'm just listing out the things that are useful to me. Today, I just installed a damn amazing applicationon my iphone. A remote desktop client which I can access my home computer from anywhere with my iphone!! So useful!! It's like my iphone turned into a wireless monitor cum keyboard cum mouse for my home computer!! Can even play sounds from it!! I know there are remote desktop clients for Blackberry but I am very sure the kind of experience would be different. Blackberry has its limitations on many things.

I think I made the right choice to give in to touchscreen and try out the iphone. It really caters all my needs. Touchscreen adds inconvenience to typing but also new experience to using a phone. Without the touchscreen, Bejeweled Blitz and full remote desktop access can never be made possible. =)

Come to think of it... Now I can position my webcam in a convenient spot in my room... When I'm outside, I can remote switch on the webcam and spy Mimi!! Hahaha!! xD

Lazy Solutions...

As you can see... The photo at the Snapzshots on the top of the page has changed due to the resolution shot by my iphone. The way iphone post the photo also affected the alignments. So, I took away the frame and edited the alignments.

Decided not to change a new blogskin because I love that damn tree so much. You no believe me?! Really!! I even made the tree bigger than before!! xD

Okok... Too lazy to think of a new blogskin lah... Now with iphone, I can post Snapzshots vertically or horizontally and even at random sizes! Therefore, can't think of a creative design to fit in yet. Meanwhile just live with the current blogskin. Maybe until I get sick of that damn tree... =)


P.S. I really got enlarge the tree =Þ

i-ed and L-ed!!!

Used to come across my mind only for a couple of times, but had been seriously considering about it in the past few days... Though I don't like the idea of touchscreen, but just cannot resist the wonderful features and gave in to the idea to buy an iPHONE!!! xD

If not for only $48, I would never consider getting rid of my Blackberry. Was meddling with the new toy last night. Totally new concept and interface. Everything is fabulous except for the touchscreen part. Inconvenience to SMS in some situation and also slow down punting =X Haiz... I downloaded damn lots of camera application to add effects on photos BUT... Now I have problem updating the snapzshots on this blog. Argh!! Need to change blogskin to suit everything.. Zzz... Battery seems to drain pretty fast or maybe because I had been playing around with the settings too much.

Was at Paragon M1 last night buying the phone. Just next door is the Apple authorised dealer store. Went over to browse for a case. Didn't buy any because they are all so expensive!! Wtf?! My iphone only cost $48 but the casings are more expensive than the phone! Kaoz!! Now a bit regret not having a casing. The iphone seems very vulnerable to scratches and cracks if dropped.

Another new toy bought earlier this week. Very sinful one...

My first L lens!!!

Yet to go shooting with it!! Hee.. Sold my kit lens to Oreos. Both of us happy~

It should be a busy weekend for me, I hope I'm not lazy. =X Still not yet tidy up my room and CNY is coming. Xta's wedding videos... Edit blogskin... Bath Mimi... Omg.. Many many...

Shooting Trips

Been pretty enthusiastic with shooting photos recently because having Oreos as companion. Since yesterday, Oreos is officially known as Evilynn. She's really a very encouraging friend - over with me buying the 24-70mm! =S

Saturday shots at Chinatown... It's festive again.. Haiz..

Click to enlarge...

This time did some tricks on lightings for the candid shots to bring out the subject and darken the surroundings. I love this kind of effect but there's still much more I need to improve on.

Regret not bringing Nicholas to Marina Barrage when he was here. It's really a nice place. Went with Oreos, Xta, Tri and their two attitude dogs.

I love this sight. Looking up below a uphill field against the sky creating horizon. Must improve on my shooting and go take a better shot of this scene.

Click to enlarge...

Didn't really take a lot of photos over there. Overwhelmed with the scene.. LOL.. Crowded with human and kites!! Didn't know what to shoot!! Added a different hue to the photos. Next snapping trip maybe go shoot flowers!! Hee...

The 24-70mm is tickling me.. Argh!! I can sense a tendancy to commit sin.... =S
