It is 30mins to the end of today as I typed this. Marks the day I end my supposedly GPA pull up semester. 4 Papers in Two Separate days. As much as I feel throughly proud (for nothing) that I end my paper just when the rest starts on theirs, I felt exceptionally bored and empty after my Finance paper ended. Despite telling myself that I can finally get to play Dota until my eyes get tired, the truth is nothing is fun when you do not have friends to play with you and those games did not help me feel better. Well, what happened after five rounds of Dota was that I have decided to do something else more productive to prepare me for the upcoming semester. On a side note,I also felt quite sad when I realise that I always have time for people when they don't. When they do, I don't. (._.)

It makes me wonder if I am destined to be a loner. lol. No. I didnt laugh.

Planning catchup sessions with friends are tough for me because I do not know how to account for going out. That is when I realise, if I had fulfilled my basic responsibilties then I probably won't have this probem of feeling guilty to go out. Negative Reinforcing is what my family unconsciously have been practising.

It's time for me to be more 'self monitoring'.

*Okay, random photo I took of a cat cleaning itself early in the morning.*

Now that midterms is over, I decided to try making a pic with PS by following a tutorial :)

The Original tutorial was supposed to be like this




HA! Want to play spot the difference?

Some of the takeaways I had in this practice,

1. Patience is needed.
OMG. Do you know how hard it is to click pixel by pixel?? I had to zoom in alot and count the squares. That itchy feeling when you are trying to aim to click on the right square. Its like that itchy feeling you get inside your body when someone points on your forehead while you are sitting on a chair and you try to stand up. (Do you know its damn difficult to stand up if someone presses on your forehead ??? Try it ) Im not sure whether there is a easier way to draw but I have definitely done it in the hard way. Creating images pixel by pixel is really like trying to draw Mona Lisa by shading  your OAS/Bubble sheet...or maybe drawing using the chinese foolscap paper.


2. Troubleshooting is important. 

Are there any easy ways to resize what i have drawn?? After clicking a thousand clicks, I realised that I have drawn the BE logo too big. I tried to resize it but then it seems to have a blurish effect. ... :(
And each time I drew wrongly, I always tend to click a few more pixels to try to make the wrong pixel dun look so off ...like an anomaly, but then I will end up still wanting to delete it. Hmmmm..  Ctrl Z doesnt really work well...I have to go to History to delete wad I have done wrongly a few steps before.
Lesson learnt. Always correct your mistake on the spot. Dun wait. 

3. Math gone wrong. Well, in case u didnt realise, my meter bars frame actually have a small darker shade of dot every 5 pixel. I didnt realise that I counted wrong and did one part with 6 pixels in between and then the rest of them went off. :( So I had to redo. Since when my math so bad ah?
Is there any way I can programme this thing such that it will color for me by following formulas or sth. LOL.


4.An eye for details. 

All those photoshoppers out there must be really meticulous ppl. I didnt realise that my color bars actually have so many details. So many different colors and shadows and highlights when it looks really simple on the outside. And the brown leather strap as well. And that folded corner of the paper...and the colors for the chain. 


5. Color Combi matters. 

Well besides being detailed, one must be good at choosing colors eh? A different shade makes a difference. I tried so many colors just to create the BE logo gradient effect which is not well done but then I had fun. Its the only part where I dun follow the colors suggested by the tutor because it is not in his/her original pic u see.
Oh yes and the books and pencil, I drew it with freestyle. But I did redo it many times because the books look really ugly. I wanted to do a open book image but it is too hard to draw and I cant imagine it in my head so it ended up liddat. The pencil as well, I wanted to draw a slanted pencil then again it is too difficult to create it pixel by pixel. Afterwards, towards the end as I am about to save this pic,  I realise I can actually slant this current straight pencil (which is much easier to draw) just by rotating. ._. But Im too lazy. LOL.

6. Text and Fonts matters as well

My text looks blurry because my comp, for some weird reason, is unable to load the Small font as suggested by the person. Any suggestions to how I can have sharper looking text??? 

7. Copy-and-Paste Wins

I thought I finished everything then I realise I didnt draw the paper for the Study and BE logos. And I know that I cannot simply copy the one that says GPA and CCA and stretched it because it will look blurry, I am lazy to redraw again.
Thus, me the genius decided to cut up the pics and copy paste copy paste copy paste until I get it bigger.


Thats it to this post. Oh, I love the cursor by the way hahaha. I wanted to create one that points middle finger instead HAHAHHAA BADASSS......but nahhhh. Lets not be so crude. 

YAY! I have decided to Redownload the Blogger App, which solves my solution of wanting to blog with photos in my phone yet ever so lazy to upload them online.

Today, i mean, Yesterday, since its past midnight now (as I draft this), was a rather fruitful day in which I had many pleasant moments.

Going in Reverse Chronological order

1. I finished my problem set 4 in 1 hr.

This is probably not a feat for many of u but it is for me. Considering how I spent about 3 hours for the first problem set, I have improved!!!

2. Met Kangbra and Irene at PS

HAHAH THis is the first time I squeal when I met my friends. The first thing I wanted to get done is to take a photo. She took out her cute camera which I was very amazed at how small and toyish it looked. It actually can take photos and has a digital screen?
I think Kangbra must be too overwhelmed with happiness that her hands trembles as she take photo hahahahhahahaha. To see me. HAHAHHAHA. Just kidding.

3. Drank Starbucks Java Chip for 4.90

Er, I had a fun time hearing the barista shouting my name. LOL

4. Meet the Googlers

Totally didnt regret signing up for this for I see hope in my future career. After attending FTW workshops sometimes I thought my life has GG because unlike my peers I do not have a clear interest in any particular field that I like.
Well sometimes I guess it takes time for one to discover where your passion truly lies. 
From yesterday's session, I was really impressed with the confidence and friendly aura from the representatives. 
The only area in which I can speak so passionately about probably will be when I share korean drama's plot to my friends hahaaa. 
Oh and to note, it was nice coincidence to meet Elisa in the session.
Always nice to bump into friends from your alma mater. ( Did I use this phrase correctly?)
Ha

Now as I type this it is already one day after what I typed the above.

Finished my Finance Midterms paper...Well...I didnt exactly complete the paper.
I found out that I am really bad at qualitative MCQs.

I hope MS midterms will not be that bad.

._.

What a nice way to find blog post pics. 

*A housefly just landed audaciously on my arm*

Anyway, It is APP sharing time!

Yesterday, when I was walking with Zl and Song to Koufu, we came across a bunch of ppl holding white transparent balloons.

Apparently, if you download the Application and sign in with your facebook account, you get a chance to pop a balloon of your choice.

So whats the fun in thad?

Not much fun actually but you get to win money HAHA

With only 8 dollars left to last me for two meals yesterday, I downloaded the app which takes me only a short while thanks to the fabulous network speed, and the person taught me how to use the app.

Its called Spotted, with a orange color logo with a white S on it, and you basically play spot the difference game with a time limit. You get to earn money with this game!
So just update your bank details and they will cashout your points into your account.

So I got a chance to pop a balloon and won 2 dollars. *supposed to be quite happy but the girl beside me won 10 dollars so .....meh.*

Yeap, that was quite greedy of me but I am still happy that I have 2 dollars more for my meal fee.

The end.

Have fun :)

That day I was walking to my grandma house, running an errand for my mum with my back pack, laptop, two bags of food tupperwares. It was quite a hot afternoon, but I made it a point to walk slowly and steadily to prevent food from spilling out and also to prevent myself from perspiring that much. Never had I felt so aware of my motion, such a steady pace I am maintaining despite the 5kg backpack seems to grow heavier in weight. Suddenly I though myself as a courier, a Dota courier, LOL, if only i had those wings I would fly. 
Walking at my own sweet  not so sweet pace to my destination. I think its quite funny. Like how the donkey always seem to be not in a hurry despite all the 5 heroes fighting their lifes out downing towers. 
If I am that courier I might have wander around because it will be so bored waiting at the base, but I might get killed right? LOL 

My sister shared a story how she bought alot of couriers that time and make them go around in circles. Another time, her friend created this line of courier and they flew in in a straight line to the enemy's ancient ( they were winning of course) like machiam some ceremony ushers.

I haven't got any motivation to blog lately. Perhaps I should do a research study about blogger motivation for my MPW project LOL.

It's okay if you do not get the joke. The only one who will probably laugh at the above is..me.

No photos, I am too lazy to upload photos.
Follow my instagram if I allow you to.

heh.


Anyway congrats to myself for succesfully bidding FTW in which I really persevered to the last minute and bidded for it.

And here is pic of what I created after following a tutorial...

#ifyouaskmetorecreatethisIprobablycant




#ineedsomeegoboost...

Random song that I came across on Youtube. I think my summer sound like the background instrumental behind. Boss bidding season coming soon and I haven't plan my schedule yet. 
Once school starts I might delete my games if Im drunk. Oh. I don't drink.
Upcoming post I will share 2 apps!

Sometimes I look through my emailers and I wonder why some fonts are so pretty. Then again, I wish there are font detectors that I can use conveniently to find out what these cool fonts are called.
So I downloaded from the Chrome Store, an extension I guess, called WhatFont.

Basically once you activate it, while hovering your cursor, they will indicate what fonts and color and font size and font family and line spacing that particular word is. It is quite amazing.
Too Bad that they cannot detect fonts on posters and pictures. Cause most of the pretty ones that I want to find out are on pictures. :(

But it is still a good start. I can start practicing recognising fonts which I thought it will be a cool skill to have. :)

On my smartphone, I suddenly remembered I used to have an app called Google Currents during JC days, because I wanted to read up to rescue my GP. After A levels I deleted it because I need space for games HAHAHA. 

Now that my predecessors bestowed a new SD card to me, I finally have space for more apps. YAY. 
But sad to say that it is now replaced by Google Play Newsstand or something. I didnt like the interface that much because Google Currents was really sleek and chio. I feel so artas reading up through Google Currents hahahahah.

Through Newsstand, I found out about the new security bug called Heartbleed. hmmmmmmm.

Anyway for those that have not discovered the amazing Telegram app. Its okay. I forgive you. I love Telegram so much. It keeps me awake in class. At least I won't fall asleep because I have something to preoccupy my brain, to let it procrastinate once in a while so that I can continue to pay attention in seminars. :)
