Arrival of The Tet!

Tet. 

Yes, you didn't read wrong.

Not Ted the dirty talking teddy bear, 

nor Tit the most interesting part of a woman!

After so many complaints about my CPU which I've tried to revived numerous time,

I've finally got it replaced - with a HP's CPU I named Tet.

Saw Oblivion recently? 

Starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

Those who haven't seen it...

*SPOILER ALERT!!!*

The Tet is somewhat an 

alien mother ship figure in a giant triangular station on the sky.

At the beginning of the movie, Tet seemed like the most brilliant thing an alien would create.

Its technology which leaves us imagine if-this-could-be-in-our-future-era thingy.

Wanting my CPU to be my brain - executing stuffz for me - it's gonna be my Tet.

Nonetheless... whose who watched Oblivion may remember the unexpectedly lousy ending.

The Tet is so brilliant that it can detect that Jack (played by Tom Cruise) is lying 

from his heartbeat and tone of voice.

But... could not detect the nuclear bomb he brought with him

that eventually destroyed The Tet so easily?

Although there are alot of question marks circling my head after the movie,

it's overall a not-bad movie... can go watch larhhh... 

Am installing whatever anti-virus softwares I can find now. 

My Tet is gonna die like that movie!!!

 Tet - "Are you an effective team?"

Joyce & HP- "Hell yeah we are!!!"

What's up Doc?!!

Ring ring!

I just came back from Cameron Highlands yesterday, and oh boy! I was exhausted !

Did alot of walking, a short trail of jungle trekking,

and did not get enough of sleep.

Am practically refraining my head from banging on the keyboard now.

*Nah... not that bad...*

But can see that my eyes are half opened though... keke!

I'm in need to get something off my chest today.

I've said this many times before, but I'm saying it again this time.

My PC is dead!!!

Yes I revived it many times.

Paid RM30 to restore the windows, reformat, and all the things that the Dr. PC does.

Worked for a good one week, then gone again.

I've given up on my PC, and am saving up for a new one.

So many blog post pending.

Can't wait to get my hands on the new CPU and blog my heart out.

For the next few weeks, it's gonna be less fun, more OT!

Should be able to save up then...

Gam ba de!!!

Psstt.. Went to many places to eat. Reviews and photos coming up sooooonnnn!!!

If want it sooner, get me a new CPU !!!!!!

Top 5 photo editing apps for android

Hi there!

With everyone having smart phones, androids, iPhones, being vain is inevitable.

Yes I'm vain too at times. What you expect? I'm a girl... duh....

With all the photos taken, there are some that I don't like to share it "raw".

It needs certain enhancement.

To cover up my panda eyes... pimples.. (yes all my imperfections).. To adjust the lighting.. To enhance the mood.. And many more!

There are a few photo editor that I commonly use in my Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPod.

But I'm just gonna talk about the Top 5 app that I love using.

------------------------------------

First essential photo editing app in my phone is..

 

1) PICK

It allow me...

a) To look great!

I love using the effects!

Using the right effect on certain photos eliminates fine lines, wrinkles, makes your skin looked smoother, and it added artistic value in the piece of work!

I personally love using effects such as Calm, Vintage, Toy, Tender, Romance & Memories.



Romance



 

Antique



 

Vintage



b) To celebrate!

There's special edition during celebration like Christmas, Valentines Day etc...

With the frames and stamps, you can always make an e-greeting card with it!

 



A Valentine's Day wishes for my buddy who stood by me thru thick and thin,
and still sticking around seeing the worst side of me.



c) To perform a virtual complete make over!

It's more to like cartoonize myself, but ain't this cute...???

You get to choose your hair too!

AFTER




2) PHOTOSHAKE

This app is used for photos compilation. It caters up to 8 photos in a frame.

I like that Photoshake allow us adjust the gap between photos, and the frames. 

Also we can play around with the edge of the photos. 

Not to mention alot of frame shapes...  

3) PHOTO GRID

Photogrid is another great tools to use!

It's similar as Photoshake, but it caters up to 9 photos!

And there are more layout patterns to choose from.

It also has additional function to rotate, zoom in and out, and tilt any desired photos after being put into the frame.

Comes with colorful background too...

 

This is a 9 photos frame. Could use colorful background but I didn't
want it to look messy coz the photos are colorful enough.



4) FOTORUS

This app is Photoshake & Photogrid alike, the difference is, it caters only up to 4 photos.

What's so good about this app since it caters lesser than the previous app?

The photos layout is different.

Look at this photo of me in gold palazzo pants jumpsuit.

Notice how the right frame is bigger than the left one?

Photoshake and Photogrid does not have this function.

But Fotorus offers very limited choice of frame you could use though.

Compiled using Fotorus and wording added using Phonto



Photos are first edited using PICK, then FOTORUS to
put into frame, btw, I snapped a white wall and made it into a photo as background,
and that's where I used PICK again for the Valentine's stamp into the white background.
A specially made Valentine's Day card made for someone I could still call my BEST FRIEND till now!
Loveeee youuuu!!!



5) PHONTO

Last but not least, an app that you could use to add in wordings.

With selection of fonts, Phonto is very useful to add, edit, change size, tilt writings.

So well, have fun exploring with all the recommended apps!!!

Some Christmas lovin'....

First time in Christmas I gotten some love from Santa

Last Christmas Santa visited me,

And he brought me toy!

The toy is too big to fit into the chimney,

And so Santa put it in a red bag,

Dropped it on my doorstep,

He rang the bell,

But did not wait for me,

I answered the bell and saw beside the door,

A big red bag with a snowman on it,

Tied with it a red card with a picture of a shinny green Christmas bell,

The card says....

"Something to SNAP OUT of your depressing past,

To CAPTURE all the best cherish-able moments in your future,

To RE-LIVEN your food blog with mesmerizing pictures that tell tales of joyful delectable delights".

I almost shed tears reading the card,

To be receiving love from Santa,

But what does he mean?

I anxiously opened the red bag,

And found myself a another big bag-pack!

Inside it... a camera,

DSLR Canon EOS 1100D!

Was speechless.

All I could say was "THANK YOU, SANTA!"

Will make good use for the camera,

Taking photos of beautiful things in life,

To treasure and cherish things my eyes couldn't see,

But those my camera shutter can... haha!

And of course, I'll continue to be a good girl... :) 

Canon EOS 1100D as big as my face! ;)

year-end wishlist!

It's Nov and it means bonus is coming soon!!! Prolly in another month or two but it's still not too early thinking about what I want yeah?

List from 5th to 1st priority...


#5. Watch


I love watches ever since I know how to read the time. I remember collecting so many watches last time. Either mum bought it for me from pasar pagi, pasar malam, supermarket etc.. and regardless of where it is from, or how much it cost, I still love it just the same.

Just gotten a new watch from Titus few months back, and yet still thinking of a new one. Greedy me.. What I'm looking for now is something more stylish and BIG! Well, not that big.. but at least it's bigger than the width of my wrist! I have too many lady-like watches already and wanted something different now..

But I gotta bear in mind that the watch is a WANT, not NEED. And since I have so many watches already, I might as well put this on hold.




Love the last watch in black. From Mont Blanc. Could never afford this. But no harm in dreaming high... :)


#4. Mobile phone


Ya ya ya... people that knows me would say "Hey you got 3 phones already! Not enough ah!!!".

Well let me explain, one is my personal phone, which is an old looking Sony Ericsson J105i. Another ancient Sony Ericsson W850i for office use, and another one is an iPod (with no call function at all)!

How I wish I could combine all 3 of that into a phone! Would be alot easier as I do not have to carry 3 gadgets with me all the time!

So... Could it be Samsung Galaxy S2??? Or an iPhone 4s?!!! Bet Siri would be a great PA for me!! Haha!!!

Well this is something in my list, but I haven't made up my mind about what I'll be getting..







#3. Room make-over with IKEA roller blinds and mosquito net


I've started the make-over one year ago. I have replaced all my furniture into a new ones. Just gotta tweak a little bit of here and there.

Wanted to buy roller blinds as I don't like glaring room. And I need my room to be completely dark when I'm sleeping. So this is more to a functionality than decorative item for me.

Saw the roller blinds at IKEA with choices of black, grey and white. I would prefer white ones. Looking at my 6 window panels, this could cost probably a few hundred!

Hope I could get it soon when the money goes "ching ching $$$$ " in my bank account! ;)









#2. ASUS Eee Pad Transformer 2


WOAAHHH!!! This is something I'm eyeing on now! How convenient it would be for me to online/check-in/blog etc if I have an Android that has the size of an iPad but with a detachable keyboard dock!! Both combined give a good serving battery time of 14 hours!!! Woah woah woahhhh!!!!

But woopss... Currently it has not been launched in Malaysia. And no one have ever confirmed if the ASUS Transformer 2 have a 3G version with it. I'm actually thinking of getting a data plan so that I don't have to rely on wi-fi connection wherever I go. Wifi in Malaysia is not as easily accessible as other country.

I really hope to get this soon! ;)




#1. Puppy


Woof woof!!! Something I haven't been able to get since I was young. Still top priority though!!!

Looking for a red toy poodle now. One that is few weeks old so that she is young enough to be toilet and home trained. and I also wanted her to get used to me as her mummy since she's a baby.

Few weeks ago I saw a kid play tent in Carrefour. The tent looked so cozy and cute! I almost buy it there to motivate myself into getting a puppy to live in it.

Ahhhh... how sweet if this could ever happen. feels like having a puppy now would actually complete me as a person.. Deep inside me, I'm so hollow, empty and lonely! (Trying to be pathetic to gain some sympathy from mum).






Looking into my wish list few years back, it seemed like I'm still looking for the same thing. Always puppy, watch and gadgets! Never about luxury bags or branded clothing / shoes etc.. Had just realized I've got more tomboyish traits than feminine one! *swt*
