Milestone: Driving

Posted on by

Getting a driver license is a big part of a teenager life. Getting it represent… freedom! Well not really, getting a car means freedom.

I got new respect for drivers! While the passanger were sitting comfortably in the car eating, sleeping.. the driver have to focus on the road!

Earlier this evening, Nick and I was on our way going home from KK to KB. When we reach the Petronas gas station at Tuaran he stop and said, “ok change!” I was like ” Nooooo! I am not ready!”. But I was just saying that. In my mind, it is now or never. I don’t want to be depending on him all the time. We change seat.

Nick: ok adjust tempat duduk. selesa ka? Ok jalan…

Nick: terlampau tepi suda nie.. Masuk sikit..

Nick: Steady jak pegang tu stering…(singing to True worshiper song).. tu moto depan tu slow tu..

Near Tengilan..

Nick: Mau terus sampai KB? or ganti?

and I change seat again with him. He is asking because after tengilan it is hills road all the way and he said, save it for another time. Nick was very thoughtful. He drives slow from KK to Tuaran so that I was not pressure to go fast. After we change he gave me a few tips and keep on saying, ” buli suda tu! mau confident lagi skit” Smiling :)

I just hope I look pretty at the same time LOL

Nerdy me. Edited using the PhotoWonder application on my phone :D

Instagram: My Top 6 Camera and Editing Applications

Posted on by

Whether you are like Chegu Carol, who used the Instagram build in picture editor or like some of us who used other picture editing applications. All of use love and enjoy pretty and nice pictures.

There are a lot of photo editing application you can download for free and and although some you have to buy but.. there are always Blackmart ;)  Here are some of my favourite picture editing applications and camera filter for your smartphones.

1. PicsPlay Pro – Absolutely in love with this applications and it has 200 filter to play with or you can always manually adjust your picture. 

2. Pixlr-o-matic – Also have tonnes of effects, overlays and frames. A blogger friend, Michel Sung is also using this applications.

3. PicFrames – put 1,2, 3 or even 5 of your pictures in 1 frames!

4. Camera ZOOM – It is a camera application but I also used this to edit other picture taken from the normal phone camera.

5. Justgramm - Have something to say? Type your words in and pick a background. You can put your picture too!

6. Textgram Pro - The word “Pro” said it all. You can select you fonts, colour of your wordings and adjust the words and picture with more detail.

The above is my favourite application for editing. As a bonus let me introduce to you another one that you might be interested in :)  

Cymera – Cymera is probably a Asian rendition of Instagram but because it is in Korean, you probably can’t login with it. But you still can edit your pictures in it. As Korean is well known to it plastic surgery so it is in this application.

You can adjust and slims your face using this application with just 1 click. Makes your eyes bigger and perfect that smile. Much more easier than Photoshop! Don’t over do it tho or you end up like a plastic surgery barbie doll below LOL

Sawadeekap! ;)

Instagram: Pictures and Tips

Posted on by

[Warning lots picture ahead] 

I’ve been bit my the instagram bug quiet hard. For you all that owns a smartphones or iphone I guess you already knew about instgram. For you that does’t, Instagram is a photo application that you can used to edit and also share your photos to other social medium for examples Facebook and Twitter.

Below are the pictures I took and publish using Instagram.

These are my favorite.

Some pictures of yours truly and also Nick

Those are just amateur pictures by me :) but there are many professional photographer using Instagram to share their work. It is a community of artist and friends.  

For an example some pictures from @nala_rinaldo, LOVE all the pictures! I screenshot her profile btw :) I guess she must be using DSLR for those wonderful pictures. and you can! But I won’t and have no intention of doing that but the point I want to make is that photographer can use Instagram as a medium to share their wonderful work.

To learn the basic, there are tonnes of tutorial at Instagram’s support pages.

Below some basic tips I found on the net.

Down here is also some tips for instgram in video

YouTube Preview Image

Some of the tips above are just the basic. My personal favourite is using other application to process or edit your pictures to boost their look. Other than that, it is great that Instagram has its own build in camera but for better picture use your phone camera instead and don’t forget to experiment! 

Will post on my favourite photo and camera application for Instagram next time, this post is already too long. Btw, what is your favourite pictures or camera application? Do share in the comments below, so that I can include and tag you on my next post ;)

 Thanks for stopping by! :D Lets make wonderful pictures together!

Canon Powershot S100

Posted on by

Presenting my baby the Canon Powershot S100 :D

Well this is not a review, I am not an expert in cameras, so this would be just an introduction of my new baby. Its like introducing a new family member (This is how I get attach with my things, some of you might remember my previous laptop, baby Thosi ?). I’ll show you some of the picture that I captured using this camera. But first…

This camera comes in two color, black and silver. Mine is black in color.

Key Features of the camera

  • 12mp CMOS Backlit Sensor, 1/1.7inch
  • 5x optical zoom lens – 24mm – 120mm, f/2.0-f/5.9
  • 3 inch screen, 460k dots
  • Optical (Lens based) Image Stabilisation
  • i-Contrast and HDR modes built in
  • Burst Mode: 10fps at full resolution
  • Built in GPS
  • Manual Control, RAW support
  • Lens control ring
  • ISO 80 – 6400
  • 3cm Macro mode
Now lets see some pictures! Please be inform that I have not edited any of the picture below. Maybe just the first one where I put the circle for you to see the zoom features of the camera.
The 5x optical zoom lens not bad at all! That is my front lawn.
Some of the micro shots. What better way to shoot micro other than using food :D
From my trip to Sarawak last March.

Night shots. The night shot are not that bad too! Although using flash, it look natural.

Playing with build in filters

1. Super vivid : Can never paint my nails right

2. Color accent


3. Toy camera Effect 
Self timer! Group shot of my class with our tutor for our charity work -Car Wash! I just love this picture of us :D
Last, portrait shot of yours truly ;) Sorry no make-up there

Conclusion?

Like: The image quality is outstanding and with the build in filter. It is a pocket camera that comes with quality. One of the best compact camera in the world to date (as seen in many reviews). My best investment ever :D

Dislike: The battery goes flat quickly if you forget to turn off the GPS function.

Retail at RM1490 with 8G memory cards

I bough my camera at VISION CAMERA SERVICE, Alex Liew (camera specialist). What I like about the store is their customer service. They don’t force you to buy the camera. They fully equip you and make you understand what your camera can do for you and also teach you how to use and take care of your camera.

If some of you are interested, below are the details:

ALEX LIEW, VISION CAMERA SERVICE . HP: 0123552393 TEL: 0888-447252

NO. M-0-22, GROUD FLOOR, CITYMALL

They should pay me helping them promote, even one of my friend bought a camera from them too :P

Updates! Long Over Due

Posted on by

I know…. I know… I have not been updating as much as I wanted too :) but you know I have a valid reason for it right *puppy eyes* LOL

I just got back for Sarawak last Sunday and due to assignment over load, I did not had a chance to update my Kuching plus School Based Experience where I had my first teaching experience :D  

There are many more things that I really wanted to share with you. Have you met my new baby? :D

That is my New baby Canon Power Shot S100 casing. I have been using it for a few weeks now and absolutely in love with it. Will do a review/update on it later

One of the feature of the camera, color selection! Only selected color are shown and the rest are in black and white :D

Haven’t seen this guy here in a while right? Just so you know he is still around :D

Yours truly had gain a few pounds due the cheap food and generous family in Sarawak. Now I wonder how am I going to lost that weight and never finding it again ;) I am now trying Melilea Organic to wash away and clean my intestines, but as who ever tried it before you’d know how gunky and gooey the thing is and I don’t know how am I going to last taking it. Any other suggestion anyone?

As you can see, I changed the theme again. It is really hard for me to find a suitable WordPress Themes. I don’t have time to do it on my own.  I am not familiar with the coding of WordPress yet. Anyone can lend me some expertise? I would be grateful :D

That is a short update everyone :D Thanks for reading!
