First Attempt at Photoshop!

I’ve never really used Photoshop much so my editing skills suck obviously.  Just tried my first "major" attempt at editing a photo and I’m definitely feeling proud of myself.  Here’s the original photo: And this is the edited one:   Sorry for the small pics… had to balance my usual dilemma over being recognised versus […]

Healthy vs Healthful

This was something that I learnt in school but still struggle with because the wrong usage is so pervasive in what I read on a day to day basis.  I often read articles saying, "this is a healthy diet" when it should be "this is a healthful diet". The words healthy and healthful are closely […]

My friend’s sis-in-law is expecting a baby and my friend’s parents were hoping to get a granddaughter as the first grandchild is a boy.  During the sis-in-law’s recent check up (she’s in her first trimester now), the gynae said, "There is nothing to suggest that it is a boy".  When this was conveyed to my […]

Homeplugs

Just got a great tip off my friend’s blog.  (Forgive my lack of geekiness).  For anyone who has been having problems with wireless Internet connections at home, you should try using a “Homeplug”.  It essentially uses the power lines to run the Internet connection around the home, as though it were a lan cable.  Fantastic.  […]

Afterthought to the Fireworks

The fireworks on New Year’s day was a bit disappointing.  The fireworks were shot from further away from Marina Bay (probably ‘cos seats were sold at Marina Barrage on top of the usual Marina Bay grandstand) so I didn’t get the usual feeling of the fireworks blooming up close – as though they were going […]

Okie… here’re some of the photos of the fireworks… don’t have photoshop (gosh, I really shouldn’t be doing this in office but first day of work… damn sian lah!) now so you gotta bear with the smoky images… only managed to use Photoscape to crop out some of the “Exit” signs on the photos…   […]

Where did all the Thumbdrives go?

Haven’t had time to edit the photos yet… crap… just realised my Toshiba thumbdrive’s gone missing too so now I can’t transfer the fireworks pics from my office pc to my home pc.  Grr…

Armenian Church

Attended Old Goat’s wedding at the Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator 2 Sundays ago.  It was my first time visiting this National Monument and it’s really a lovely place.  It’s apparently the oldest Christian Church in Singapore.  I was quite fascinated with the tombstones there so I took a couple of photos of […]

The Ultimate White Elephant Gift

Saw this on Kid’s Meal’s table… not sure who but someone from her clique in office gave her this for Christmas. If someone gave me this, I would wonder if that person had really poor taste, or if that person really hated me… (The handphone pouch is just to give you an idea of how […]

1 Jan 2009 Fireworks

Please forgive the “Exit” sign…       If you know what freeware I can use to remove the “Exit” sign, please let me know…
