Roll the dice.

Playing cluedo just got more hi-tech. And no, the games stays the same(we are not finding the murder through state of the art technology.) But, the process of finding out clues just got more fun! We no longer need to use the dice to move about the different rooms!

You'll see what i'm talking about: I got a new ipod touch joining to my gadget family about a month ago and her name is terylene! Super happy to own this little thing that can serve the net and allow to watch movies and listen to music on the go, what's more, it totally look like a iphone. I kinda pretend it is one! Back to the topic: I installed a roll dice application which you have to shake my ipod to roll the dice. How fun is that!

Meanwhile, I have been good by scrapping and using the papers I have bought to submit a layout for a competition at my workplace. I do not know whether they allow me to post this here, but you can peek at this closeup or choose to go and find me and look at my layout! Haha...

Still, not forgetting that I have a huge mess left at my table and I haven't clear it at all. Plus, you are looking at part of it only! Sigh, where is the technology to put my tools back into my drawer, throw my itsy bitsy scraps away, sort the bigger scraps into my scraps folder by colour and arrange my table nicely? It probably will be up to me then.

reflections.

well, its been a long time since I've blogged so I'm just gonna sum up my life in this post. Now, I am pretty happy working in my happy place, weekly shipments are like opening presents but you just have to count them to make sure you get the correct number of presents. (that's what I'm thinking whenever I'm doing stocktaking) then, the displaying before the new arrivals day are like showing off your presents and making sure that NO ONE can touch (or buy) them till the right day! Ha ha... but must say nicely of course. (let's hope this involvement in the scrapping scene can so make me scrapbook!) Mum says that i should have worked there earlier since i like it so much. Well, another reason to work now and be really busy with it, would be because of the release of results! It is making me real nervous, so the only therapy is to work and work and work, and cross my fingers too.

I scrapped again!

2nd layout of the year! I'm a happy though it was like so much simpler than my usual layouts. This seems so much easier though it still isn't easy to start like the last time. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my self working at my most happy place in the world, my friend calls it my '2nd home' and this means i am so much closer to the scrapbook scene! Hope for more scrapbook mojo...

Learning from photography.

I have been asked by people I know about photography, how to take photos in what setting, what this means and how it affects your photos and the most important question is how did you learn all this. Well, i started learning photography from my secondary school art teacher i owe her much in helping me discover the joy of photography. And the discovery of scrapbooking even boost my love for photos even further as it combines my childhood interest in crafts and new found love for photography.
I am really not an expert in photography and the first time i hold a DSLR (not mine) i did a pretty sucky job as a "paid"photographer from very friendly fellow scrapbookers but i did not give up. Looking for inspiring always keep me intersted in photography. Here's some websites i would like to share (hope that is doesn't count as copyright infringement):

The photos that mostly amaze people are photos from newpapers and magazines and this website is outstanding in telling a story by showing a picture for an event happening. Something that interest me would be hpw these photos could mean so much. The high resolution photos made it more atonishing.

This is another photographer which goes around taking photos which i totally admires. He kinda inspires me to hold that huge black heavy gadget and be so proud of it. Being name a family photographer means a lot now. Loads of my friends want to take shots that are candid or natural but it is hard to get: this website shows that you can.

Without doubt, a female photographer who share knowledge on photography, loads to learn from her blog. Don't know what the hell is aperture? Here you know.

Okay. That's it. Perhaps next time i'll share my own tips on photography if i have any. :) Pin It

Organised.

Been cleaning my room, and clearing away clutter and organising stuffs and re-cleaning again and painting my door and re-cleaning again till I'm satisfied. Apparently, there is just soo much to do to prepare the Lunar New Year! I don't remember that happening last year because i did not touch any of my scrapbook stuffs due to piling school work. The only thing i did was stuffing in all my notes into the cupboard, away from cleanliness-conscious eyes, and it did look clean that time, but this year it was done more thoroughly and with hard work. I even bought some new stuffs to organise my scrapbook stuffs!

Here's something I had no time to present to you guys until now: A really challenging origami that is made up of 12 pieces! I think its called modular origami, and its fantastic! You can push the centre of the origami to reveal a new pattern and be "pushed" again and again. I'm not very good at explaining how it works but you can see the photo animation i made above and you'll know what i mean! A very special thanks to a very inspiring and good-instructions-follower ex-teacher who never gives up in this kind of fun challenge! It took us around 2 hours to finally get the hold of piecing it together, after that, I could even remember the steps! That's why i did this one in colour paper so it could be seen clearly!

I have more to posts about this exciting new year which the fun together with such a Huge family never stops. (on the first day of new year, I already visited 8 houses! no kidding!)

I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous year in the year of the Ox!
