jeng jeng jeng~ the lady in red +.+

Out of 67283027 pix which I took yesterday, only a handful turns out to be presentable after screening round @@ I have get used to doing all this photo taking and editing before I got to bed every night. If I left my picture simply untouch before that, you must be pretty sure that I will be restless all night! That shows how serious i am!

Time for more picasa-ed photos!

Sharpen the color to emphasize the oiliness of my favoritest puff, seriously you must try this, best eaten when hot, fresh from oven, jeng jeng jeng! The aroma of tuna is so tempting until menusuk hidung and tulang. Sad case that this will be the last ever puff I can eat cause for health reasons, I'm forbid from eating any fried, stir fry stuff or any sort of fast food.fml. laksa is exceptional item though cause there is simply no way I can survive without laksa!


No description


I bring out the "glow" in it =D


I left this photo untouch cause I feel that I look good. Don't scold me yet. And that's my personal opinion. You don't have to hate me.

Tinted blue.


Soft touch


Can you see what I'm seeing?


"Wanted" for stealing Dunkin Doughnut @@


Multi-facets of JLCL but they are all almost the same pose *sigh* I only look good on the right side and at 45 degree angle *sigh sigh*


I'm going to create some sophisticated design tonight. I already have a rough idea and concept what I wanna do. But in case i fail don't laugh, cannot laugh, try laugh and see! >.< And this is a stern warning to Mr Pitbull HCC version, STOP.CALLING.ME.LAU.BEH. i'm learning la wei, at least show some encouragement, a pat on the shoulder or some positive advice la wtf you so stingy for what -.-"...

p/s: Note to Pitbull, bring my Photoshop next week. tqvm.

Bye =]

Misc.

Just some quick updates on my Picasa craze..


This is where my work station situated in the office. Or rather call it Joy's Corner. I posted lots and lots of motivational phrases and quotable quotes to encourage my own self to work harder and be the best; nothing but the best ;) For this picture, I sharpen the colors of the original picture, thus making the color lebih menonjol =)

My typical rush hour lunch. This is what usually my mum prepares for me if I go home for lunch. Instant noodle with egg + luncheon meat plus ABC soup *wink*

I found this pic in Vic's phone (a.k.a my current phone) and edited them with slight soft touch and my own "creative caption" hehehe~


That's all for the time being! Will update more soon!

Road Trip with My Broadband

After blogging for years since I was in Form 5, the art of blogging has become part and parcel of life! Back then, friendster blog was the 'in' thing! It has become a habit that once I spotted something interesting I have to blog on the spot! Or risk forgetting all about it once I get home. Hence, there are two essentials (I call them life companion =)) which I couldn't live without:

Item # 1 My loyal companion, P1 wimax broadband
Item # 2 My baby HP Mini 210




Once I was driving back home to Penang from Kay Elle after attending an interview with Hilton in PJ. Along the highway somewhere in Ipoh, it strucked to me how beautiful the scenery was, how blue the sky can be and how I have neglected the beauty of mother nature amidst all the hustle and bustle of city life. Without a second thought, I pulled my car aside, grabbed my camera and took beautiful pictures of the scene. Simply marvelous! Just minutes ago, I was worried about the 'cruel boardroom interview' which I had attended. But a look outside the window from the car took away all the problems which seems to linger in my mind before that and I realised how silly I was! Without hesitation, I plugged in my broadband and upload those pictures to share with all my friends and spread the love for natural beauty that we often miss out =)

To sums up, blogging on road trip makes easy with P1 wimax.

Meanwhile, here's Episode 8,9 and 10 of Project Alpha Season 2. Enjoy! =)

Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS.

Trial & Error With Picasa

I'm falling in love with Picasa! It's really fun to take random pictures of almost everything and edit them, give them a new look depending on "feel" and feel really satisfying with the end results! I'm nothing near the pro but I feel a sense of achievement seeing "improvement" day by day, tee hee~~ Below are some photos which I took yesterday evening and started to edit them since 10pm up to...well..1am ++ See, I rather not sleep! It shows how enthusiastic I am at my new found interest! Wee~

 
This is a very normal car key of mine but it appears so "artsy" feel to me after adding "soft touch". Yes, that function is called "soft touch" under the tuning scheme rather than I usually describe them as "blur function".. Yala, I use layman term ma, u memblurkan the thing ma call blur button lor... *one of the 8995763 excuses I usually use to cover ass*

Another random picture of Pepsi bottle. Don't ask why I took from this angle. I just feel that the logo nampak sikit tak nampak sikit like that very cute wtf This one I sharpen the color. It might not appear very different from the actual bottle but if you actually compare the original picture, the you will see the difference.

This is yours truly with *big innocent eyes* Nothing much added to the photo, using the same ol' soft touch key as well! This button is really magical! You can make almost every non-presentable picture looks good with a click.
For this picture, yours truly increase the degree of "blurness" meaning the tahap kekaburan is lebih kabur wtf to cover pimples ma. As you can see the forehead part is like a cloud covering wee~ can you see? can you see? can you see?

 Miss Yours Truly with specs. Nampak macam lame saje, soin soin in Hokkien! -.-"..

 Lucky I'm in love with my best friend~~~ *it's just a song Vic!~ *
Next, I have created a few Collages using the software as well and now I know how to add words in those small frames already!!! *tears of joy* I know, friends my age know how to use this in Uni days already but I didn't have the time to "experiment" with all these back then cause I was a bookworm ma, I scared fail ma :( Anyway, let's see what I have came out with ;)

Here, I learn how to create Collage with solid colors background and adding old school frame in it. Ohya, this is specially edited for my baby as he loves to see the nerdy me with spec. Warning to Vic: See so thoughtful of me, next time see you still dare to go find "ikan comel" or not wtf *insider joke*

 A collage with four standard size mini photo, kua kua kua~

The many faces of me and I need to clarify something here. I'm not the spokesperson for Pepsi, I mean I would love to but I'm not =(

As you can see, "Sunday" is missing simply because I don't know where to fit in already, hahaha~ But, Sunday is definitely my favorite day of the week *wink*

I'm going to end this post with a phrase I read from a book recently:

It's dangerous to seek perfection in a world of imperfection.

A great insight isn't it. Well, it teaches us to be more adaptable to the environment.

"If we can't move the mountain to the side, we ourselves move across the mountain"

Believe in it and conquer!

One of the Regular Updates

As soon as I reached office hours ago, I received a sms from my friend, it goes:
"Aiyo gal~ Why overtake me? You scare the hell of me... So rush go where...wave at you also tak nampak -.-"..." Mana you now?" From xxx
 A friend whom I haven't spoke to for quite some time. Surprisingly I'm still in his phone book cause his name ain't in my list. I wouldn't reply if he didn't leave his name at the end of the message. Thus, here goes my reply: "Hi dude, sorreee..was rushing to office, need to clock in 8am sharp, hv a nice day! ttyl"    Ending with ttyl simply means we won't be contacting for the near future because I realize that after being separated for some time, we tend to lose topics or the chemistry in between no matter how close we want to get together like how we used to be. Merely acquaintance now sigh... I sound so evil and mean but that's the truth.

Anyway, here's a picture to justify my wrongdoing if you consider overtaking cars a crime la aiyoyoyo this is Malaysia la friend!

I know you can't see it here so here I'm telling you very the bad jam!!!

Excuse me, this is not EXCUSE.  This is REASON!!! Valid REASON!!! *damn defensive*

Go home. Hibernation mode ON!

The definition of Art according to Yours Truly

The subject of art is very subjective.  It's very difficult or almost impossible to define what's good art and what's bad art. To me, good art requires loads of passions and efforts. I don't call my current work "art" though... I'm just a newbie, trying to make sense of what constitutes good arts =)

Well, I'm still not good at it yet so here I just play around with the basic functions like tuning and the theme. For the first 4 pics, I use Sepia for the theme.

Next, I use "tinted" effect with a shade of berry pink to go hand-in-hand with the cheeky pose of me in the picture.


The following photos I was trying to create "artsy" feel hence I put a little "glowing effect" here and there, and mengblur-kan it abit to hide my flaws:)


I was trying to pretend that I wasn't digging gold, tee hee~



My loyal companion. Without it, my sight is almost non-existence. Nolah... I exaggerate only, maybe few years from now, the statement is proven then. *sigh*



The follow-me-around bear hehehe~ I bring him along everywhere I go in case people kidnap him -.-"..

For the last picture, I got to tense up with all those hours in front of the screen actually hence I just create a collage which automatically shuffle few pictures and put them together.


Nothing extraordinary though :(

Currently I'm planning for my next 'project', ceh wah~ I sounded so professional but hell no, I'm still learning. If it's for fun and ala facebook then should be no problem =) I need more inspiration! I need tonnes and tonnes of interest! I need a sound knowledge in the field! And to sums up the gist of it, I really need to spice up my creative juices!

Time to wake the brain up people!
