Photographers Might Find This Entry Useful 2008-03-24 10:48:26 i chanced upon this quick-n-dirty Light Tent project for photographing prototypes and appearance models. and you know getting a studio just to take photographs on objects and products is a pretty dumb move, so this genius came up with a D-I-Y Light Tent with simple materials!so this genius wdrwilson explained that he was inspired to do this project after seeing the PVC light tent, which uses a cardboard box, and some white material (Tyvek) which allowed him to take reasonable photos of products such as watches, jewlery, small objects, etc..blah blah. and the end product of an image turns out to look like thissweet, eh? Materials You'd Need:- Masking tape or other heavy tape (Duct, packing, etc)- X-Acto knife- Ruler- Glue Stick- semi transparent white material (Tyvek, White suiting/Ripstop Read more:Photographers

Who Doesn't Like Shopping?! 2008-03-23 08:34:06 i know 2 people who doesn't like shopping.my sister and my dad. they share almost similar genes i tell you! they'll either whine when i ask them to accompany me to the mall or the warehouse sales. the older one grumbles and gets pissed easily. on the contrary, i'm just like my mom! we look 85% alike, share the same taste for music, arts, hobbies like shopping although a pity she's no longer around; or else we'd have been best girlfriends!my dad gets pissed off because i keep on splurging. my sis grumbles because she just hates the crowd (sorry emo kid on the loose, my bad) so when it comes to shopping, there's only one person who comes out in my mind instantly. and that is ms sam.despite time flying in godspeed, and though we might be miles apart, we're still web-camming and still bitching Read more:Shopping
Thank You, Nuffnang! 2008-03-22 12:22:22 i've got to admit that i'm pretty stupid. approximately 4 days ago, Nuffnang sent me an e-mail congratulating me that an advertiser has chosen to advertise on my blog. i read on: "Please do not remove the Ad Unit from your blog during the period(s) of time above or you will not be paid the full amount for the ad."so i looked at my sister and told her that how awesome it is for some advertiser is going to advertise in my blog! so she stared at the e-mail and asked, "so, which advertiser?" i paused, then told her that i have no idea when the advertiser was actually mentioned right before my very own eyes! v_v OKAY.so anyway, i didn't realised it until last night when i was browsing Nuffnang, i chanced upon a fellow blogger who received the same e-mail as i did!taken aback and feeling really Read more:Thank
Ventriloquism 2008-03-22 01:30:57 think Ventriloquism is cool?i second that notion!oh-my-goodness.yesterday i managed to watch this amazing stand-up comedy starring a ventriloquist and his puppet friend. i laughed till i cried, seriously. i thought to myself: why isn't ventriloquism brought back to the mainstream showbiz?then the answer dawned upon me: because what we see is supposedly an 'illusion' and nobody pays much money watching a guy 'talking' to himself, isn't it? also, in my own opinion, ventriloquism can be pretty boring if the entertainer sucks at entertaining his audience.moreover, there are surprisingly decreasing number of ventriloquist as a career in the world now because many believe such entertainment aren't able help them earn sufficient money for their lives so many took ventriloquism as a hobby.there u

Wonderfully sarcastic dialogue, poignant exchanges between excellently crafted
The Hills Are Alive... 2008-03-19 13:35:58 with the sound of music...as we all know music was discovered way long before anyone was born and apparently, instead of the conventional speaking and other forms of modern communication, music in the past was actually a form of communication.as time passes by, people realised that music has more to than what meets the eye. music is a form of auditory arts! entertainment, in short. as they learn to speak to communicate, men created instruments to form more variety of sounds and music pieces and thus this has never stopped even now!music has became part of my life since i was 2 years old. my mom sent me for piano lessons at Yohan's Yamaha (the current Plaza Singapura) and i gave up when i was 5 because there were examinations and i freaked out. it was such pity because i picked up so well Read more:Hills

Guy Friend X 2008-03-08 00:44:14 this guy friend X, is a player.he loves one night stands and never misses to make new girl friends in clubs. gets their number, sleeps with them. and he so he thought women are cheap sluts and bitches with the V-agina but not the B-rains. when he opened up and told me he's a player, my jaws dropped repeatedly because i can't believe i'm speaking to an intelligent man(so i thought) who sleeps loosely! what a bastard.we used to chat about general matters and ending up in heated arguments without a conclusion. that was how our conversations last and how we actually appreciated each other's company. however once he opened up, he just couldn't stop yakking about how he conquered his land and how he dominated the world which really annoys me. it never stopped when...X told me he fell in love wit
Bad/Good News 2008-03-07 15:10:07 do you like hearing good news first or the bad ones? i always thought it's less hurtful to learn the bad news before announcing the good ones. it's always comforting to the ears to learn about the good news after the bad, isn't it?There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.some guy called Laurance J. Peterhe's damn right about it. as you can see my JPAE application is once again, unsuccessful. last night, i dreamt about my application was a success and i jumped for joy! however there's this saying that the more you tend to dream, the more it's never coming true. bloody hell, it seemed that nothing appears to be anything like my dream! ha just when reality smacks right at your face, God decides to play Russian Roulette with me. it's Read more:Good News

The Way We Speak English Sounds Weird? 2008-03-26 13:52:31 i came across this article about how we Singaporeans can't speak proper English
language for nuts. when i found out the people who had been criticizing this flaw that a handful of Singaporeans have, i sniggered away. like, hello! they can't speak proper English language for nuts too? the pot calling the kettle black? *clears my throat*i have to agree that a number of Singaporeans have problems speaking clearly to just a certain extent. perhaps speaking in one or more languages or dialects just makes pronunciation sounds incomprehensible. so whenever we speak, some words doesn't sound like what it's supposed to be. oh wait, we speak Singlish too! so don't expect us to be perfect! Singapore also made attempts to promote good language speaking; the Speak Good English Movement was launched to Read more:Sounds
