Entrance

My photography friend

Okay here. I used the feature ‘HDR’ in Photoshop to tune the exposure and dynamic range to make this photo.

It’s a combination of 3 photos, overlapping each other and then adjusting the exposure and gamma and such.

Simply put it, when you use a DSLR to take photos, unlike compact cameras, either;

The sky’s okay, but the land’s under-exposed.

The land’s okay, but the sky’s over-exposed.

Using ‘HDR’ under ‘File’ -> ‘Automate’, you can overlap the good points and fine tune them somemore! Love the function, but takes up a lot of processing, meaning, lag. Still the fruits are great.

Hope you like it!

Photos and descriptions together yeah? Makes looking at photos fun.

While everyone is snapping away at the lion/ dragon dance. I am taking photographs of people. Hope you can find the joy of taking the taking of the took.

Someone I don’t know. But is nice to see people cherishing what is happening around them.

Work at MS Color, have a Sony Pro Shop and using a non-Full HD camcorder. Haha.. No offence. That’s Willie.

MS Color de Product Specialist. You ask him anything he will say he knows nothing de. That’s  Ken.

Here is a little boy waiting for the dance to start. Benny!

MS Color won’t be complete without you, Pariah!

Well, I have to admit it has been a long time since I last posted. Sorry ah. Haha.. I’ve been busy setting up a shopping site which is most unconvenient to publicise here. So, keep looking.

It’s CNY soon, I’ve received my first ang bao already. And it’s a BIG start. Cannot tell more le.

It seems that we’re growing old too fast, and things are not getting any smoother. Just look at our current economic shit now. You think I am going into politics? Haha.. no way man.

Just wanna wish all my friends and family out there reading this blog, and those who ’stumbled’ upon this blog, a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Things are going well between my girlfriend and I. Hope she’ll be safe on her trip. I’m selling things! Once again!

Photos are ready, but I have no idea how to send it to everyone. Anyway, this week will be an exciting week for me. Helping Peiling with her school project and also attending a very important event.

The Dolls’ Affair

Haha.. It’s this Sunday, from 1.30-5.30pm. Tickets at S$12. No doubt, I’m there for photos and maybe some accessories for my doll. Oh ya, my doll’s named! She’s named Carmen. Little Carmen. Peiling got a lot of stuffs for her, so much that Joyce might be a little jealous.

Sneak preview. Please, for your eyes only.

Photo taken with my Nokia E71. I know it’s noisy, I don’t expect anything better than this.

I hope this term will be a better one, with less of everything. With that, I’m sure it’s more. Concert’s over, and it’s work and project time. By the way, Merry Christmas friends and family. When things can’t get any worse, it gets better.

Oh, I am ordering converters for Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones. Umm.. The audio jack ones. From the Nokia/ SE to 3.5mm pin. Meaning you can use your mp3 earphones on your mobile phones. Let me know if you want one or just to try out.

If there are response for audio splitters, I will place an order for them too. For all, it’s S$3 each. Contact me ASAP hor, I don’t intend to accumulate orders like for forever.

Life’s good, life’s short. All the best.

It has been a long time since I blog. Haha.. I guess it’s enough of not-blogging.

Firstly, I want to talk about my new phone. Nokia E71. I had it for about 2 weeks already, and it’s not bad. But not everybody should get it. It has a lot of features, and unless you need them, then you get that phone. 8GB memory completes the phone. 2.5 inch screen is quite big for a Nokia phone.

Nothing much about it, but it crashes once in a while.

Next..

School sucks. Still didn’t like it.

Girlfriend rocks! Love her. Though I still (accidentally) make her angry once in a while.

Photos? Anyone?

Enjoy k? Yum yum! All at Whampoa Food Centre.

Take a look at the screenshot I took while surfing the net.

Look carefully, I’m at the phone ‘Nokia E51 non-camera’ and look to the right – second last specification,

What is this? Haha.. No camera but can record. Freaky.

I’ve got 13 Body Shop products! Haha. Let me start breaking them down.

In the Bath

Ginger [Anti-dandruff Shampoo] – The first time I used it, and I saw the effects immediately. I’ve used ‘Clear – Anti-dandruff’ before and instead of reducing my dandruff, more appeared. The Ginger shampoo was great. Dandruffs reduced after just one wash. And on the 2nd wash, no more. No more (visible) dandruff.

Passion Fruit [Shower gel] – Well, it’s a soap-free cleanser. What do I mean? There is no soap content inside that is invasive. After the shower, you simply feel fruity.

Pink Grapefruit [Shower gel] – wanted to try something else after I finish the Passion Fruit (above).

Out of Bath

Tea Tree Oil [Facial wash] – What the hell is Tea Tree Oil? OIL?! No la, not oil. Tea tree oil is, well.. a content from trees. But what’s so special about it? It kill germs, non-invasive and best for treating pimples and after-effects (scars, etc.) This is the cleanser.

Tea Tree Oil [Toner] – I have no idea what is this step for. But I have it, and applied it. Haha..

Tea Tree Oil [Mattifying moisturiser] – This is a moisturiser for use in the day. As stated in the name, it’s ‘matt’. Meaning no oily look or feel. No one can tell. Hehe..

Tea Tree Oil [Blemish Fade Night Lotion] – This is for night, who cares how it looks like when you’re going to sleep. Haha. It reduces the visibility of scars left by pimples. Best for those who squeeze pimples.. And improves the appearance of blemish-damaged skin.

Tea Tree Oil [Blackhead Minimising Mask] – This mask is quite rare. It’s a type of ‘applied on’ mask, and have to wait for it to dry before peeling it off. It definitely minimise, the removal is very subtle too. Not painful or anything.

Before bed

Facial Sponge – For S$2.90, it’s quite a good buy. I used it with my toner and it’s soft and very porus. Nice to squeeze. Haha..

Papaya Puree [Body lotion] – It’s not food. It’s a moisturiser for body! Papaya flavoured. I simply loved it. Makes me more fruity after the bath.

Comb! – I got a comb from The Body Shop too.

Eye Mask – This is the best. I use it to fall asleep. I will put it into the fridge like 1 hour before I sleep and then throw it into the freezer for 10mins just before I use it. Then I put it over my eyes over a towel and then go to sleep with it. Can be used warm too.

———————————————————————————————–

So, here is my whole collection of Body Shop products. And I think it will expand. TOMORROW! Haha.. There is something magical about Body Shop products. You get one, you used it and you will feel the benefits of it and get more.

In case you don’t know, all products from ‘The Body Shop’ is natural. No animal testing. Bottles are made from recycled plastic, in a programme called ‘Community Trade’ (fair treatment to 1st level industry – farming).

You will feel good using their products. Don’t know why too. Try it out. it’s good.

Let your eyes do the drooling. Sheer clarity. Only prime lens. For this time, it’s Sony 85mm F1.4 Carl Zeiss lens. Nothing less than perfection.

Cameras. This is what it’s built for. Art, beauty and perfection.

First, a photo taken by Ivan’s Alpha 300. With Carl Zeiss 85mm F1.4. NOTE THE CLARITY. More pics coming!

1.944. That’s my GPA, and I passed.

At 0806hrs, something shook my pillow. As I reached out for the phone, I thought it was just Peiling sending me a morning message, but it was actually a SMS from NYP.

The message seems messed up and needed quite some reading. Here is what it wrote,

‘Your exam results are

IT2837  C+
IT2838  C

I am happy, that I passed what I shouldn’t have. EC. Okay, results are okay, I believe my holidays will too. Ha.. Mood also better. When I thought I had failed, you know? D is fail in O levels, and I am sort of all worked up and couldn’t think straight.

I actually called Xiang Yun and Ivan, but the 2 lazy bums didn’t pick up. Haha. After I checked my results online, I called Peiling! YEAH!!

SMS Received at 0806hrs
Laptop Auto shutdown at 0808hrs

Just pure coincidence?
