The mad love BLINK

The mad love BLINK


Hello guys, I'm back! It's 7 days, yah i know but I was busy traveling though. So here I am, got a good news for you ALL!!!! I finally bought a new camera after so long consideration and it's kinda SEMI-PRO camera even though it's not DSLR camera, but it's totally awesome. It's Sony Cybershot WX1!!! My previous camera is Sony T20 and I wanted to get a new different brand. I thought of getting a Panasonic Lumix LX3 with Leica len. Heard that camera is powerful too. Last week, I went to Plaza Singapura to have my dinner and since there was still little extra time til the dance class, i walked to the electronic gadget store. They were having some promotion period. There was a chubby Malays guy came to talk to me: "How may I help you, Miss" ME-"Oh, I wanted to look for a LumixLX3" -"Ok, it's over there. Are you using MF (manual focus) alot while you shoot?" ME-"Errrh, no actually. I just use AF (auto focus). But i like the Lumix LX3 because the photos come out are so clear, they have nice macro mode, soft skin mode. That's what i'm interested" -"Ok. But if dont use MF, then it's gonna abit wasted coz Lumix is more useful if you use those. Let's me show u the new one"
*******************************
He left me there camwhoring myself with the Lumix LX3, I was so mad happy snapping the photos of myself by that Lumix and thought most probably will get it. The sales guy came back with another model which is NOT Lumix, It's Sony Cybershot.
They have 3 different colors to choose: BLACK, SILVER, GOLD I was kinda disappointed and told him: "No, I have 1 Sony already, so i just want to get the Lumix". -"Ok, but this one is totally new and different from what you have. Just let me show u the differences" And yes, it's really different! Much more powerful, more functional, lighter than Lumix LX3. Not just that, it does have all functions that Lumix have but it's even more. Mad crazy is It's much cheaper! I bought it only for S$599!!! I always wanted to get a handy good quality camera for camwhoring purpose. The DSLR i'm having is just so unable to self-camwhore because it's bloody heavy and big. Somemore, it's not convenient to bring it out all the time. Most importantly, i need a good macro and soft shooting mode which Sony WX1 has. WX1 has cemos censor which according to the sale guy, it's the best sensor for camera nowadays. 10.2 mega pixels, 5x zoomable with G-lens, the best lens of Sony perhaps :D What should I ask for more? Ok, just leave all the dried technical numbers aside: Here is the HOTTEST stuff.
Bling time!
I think I'm kinda addicted to blinking my gadget, hahaha....Whatever i buy (handphone, camera, usb, lappi, usb...) my main interest is to blink them up. And here is how the work done. First, you need to pick up some swaroski crystal size and color that you want. There are many different colors which suit ur taste, just mix and match. I personally love CrystalAB (rainbown color)
Hot pink swaroski!
Here is the artistic close-up shot of crystals
And you need a good glue to zhng all these crystals up:
I'm using this Deco glue, powerful though. Sorry for my unpolished nails
You need a piece of paper to put on your crystal, a tweezers and a towel to clean up unwanted glue areas. That's all for preparation, and now, it's zhng time....
. . . . . . One hour. . . . . . . . . . Two hour. . . . . . . . . .I'm here now presenting to you: My new blinked Sony WX1
Mad chio and blink, isn't it :D
I didn't bring my other camera to snap my WX1, so i took it through the mirror :D I shall camwhore more my WX1 by my Canon450D when i'm back home then. Right now, i'm gonna tell you WHY i'm in love my new camera.
Photos testing time!
Non-flash photos never be blur. It's just super natural, ok! Even though, I was on the bus, moving while i snapped this shot. Super duper awesome!
Another shot of moving objection. You can never see the blurriness on the photo
The macro test shot! This is my most favourite!
Unknown flower nearby my house! The color is just super vibrant and WX1 macro mode is awesome. Mad love!
Who says only DSLR can capture my blink crystal on my fone? Sony WX1 can too! I swear i didn't do any photoshop work at all. The color is 100% real natural.
My chioest bag hanger! Never got to worry where to keep your bag while you attend dinner! Tadah~ Super dark test shots
Do you guys agree with me that shooting photos in the dark is extremely difficult for a normal tiny compact camera? You need a flash, but sometimes a flash either gives you a very harsh photo or it's not effective at all which makes you very pissed. I was pissed off many times i wanted to take dark landscape photo. It turned out so blur and dark still. So this time i wanted to test my new camera. And here you go!
A super dark shot WITHOUT flash. Can you even see the cloud on the sky? It's real clouds, excuse me! Sony WX1 has a shooting mode for FOOD too!!! So i tried anyway, since some people said i didn't shot any photos of food in my blog. Here you go!
Kailan with different types of mushroom. Made in Malaysia!
Tepanyaki slice beef! Made in Singapore :D
Both are yummy
Not food, but food menu. That's sushi! The camera even has the PET SHOOTING MODE. Wtf! Lolz...Shooting pet is usually difficult too coz they dont know how to pose and like to jump around. That's what this mode is made for. So if you have dog, cat, rat, snake, cockroach, flea, tick, pig, etc...just snap them off. Now, here are the most awesome function of this camera. It include UNDERWATER Shooting mode. Omfg! I was so mad love when i discover this. *Ofcourse the sales man didn't tell me so. I always love shooting underwater and this tiny camera even has recording movie underwater. Die die, hahahhaa...This gonna go with me to Phuket for sure!!! Wheeeee Not just that! There is one more incredible thing about this camera! Look at this photo:
What is that man? It's PANORAMA shooting!!!! When the salesman demonstrated to me this function I was totally stunned. Speechless! I knew I was sold. I wanted to take a look at the camera at first. But after his effort of showing me so many different things, I decided to buy a camera immediately. How could not I??? He even gave me extra PINK pouch besides the original one. and 8GB memory card Couldn't tell you how much excited i was and i was twittering like crazy along the way home. Movie shooting could never be better. It's so clear, clean and good lighting. Show you the vids later.
Random photoshot.
At sushi restaurant with Daryl after our photoshot!
Testing my camera zoom lens. Pre-blinked period!
On the airplane, waiting for departing.
Looks like i have my own private jet? lolz
Another self-portrait!
You have no idea how much photoshop i have to work on skin beautifying on my previous photos taken by my previous compact cam. But with SonyWX1, i didn't even do a single work. Soft-skin mode is great!
Landed after 1 hour. Babe picked me up! Couldn't wait to camwhore with him with my new camera.
Kong& Meng's wedding dinner 16th Jan!
Cam-whoring on the go! I dont know why my skin turned out to be so fair in the photos,lolz
Me, babe and the lucky groom of the night!
Me and my boy- Daryl. Our duty for that night was to give a best dance performance to the groom and bride!
Puiwan, MeiYee and Me. They were kinda surprised seeing me. I wasn't :D
Another couple shot! Bought for babe a new shirt in Orchard! He looked so mad happy and funny too, hahahha
Our table! I love Panorama, hahaha
Back stage photo before performance started!
One more!!!
Random: Babe's wine collection at home mini-bar
Random: Kitchen! White-grey color makes it look so clean. I feel like cooking when i enter the kitchen, lolz :D
What's a long post entry ever, lolz... I guess, that's enough to show you how awesome my camera is. I'm gonna try to take more clearer photos for you guys to see, i promise. No shitty, no blurry, no shady photos given. So bloody excited! Gotta back to pack my stuffs right now. I haven't packed anything yet and for God's sake, my flight is at 10pm tonite. I shall blog at the airport later then. Maybe :D P/s: For those who are curious. Total of big crystals on my fone are 348 pieces (not including the super tiny one around the lens). Total cost: Camera: S$599 Crystal: S$100 Glue: S$3++ Tweezers: S$2++ So you sum it up!!!

I love Christmas!

I love Christmas!


I had an awesome Christmas celebration! What about you??? Sorry for not blogging during Christmas as I was damn busy with many things and some unwanted things happened so I gotta settle thou'. But anyhow, nothing could beat me down the mood for Xmas. I'm super happy and indeed lucky! Two days before Christmas.... I received my personal name card delivered to my office. It's personally designed (*of course I was the one throwing the idea of how I want my name card to be) and the designer just worked out on it. They put things together, printed out and delivered. So here is the piece of art work :D
Purposely mosaiced my contact number so that those strange people can't reach me. I'm not free to talk crap with you and over the cup of coffee, talking about the weather. So do not ask for my contact. Love me? Read my blog and click ads!
One day before Christmas! I flew back Malaysia to have celebration with my boyfriend and to have some important appointments with some people. It was great even though we didn't really do much things like partying out but we had great time together every time I'm back. Wanted to watch Avatar but tickets all were sold out! *blerk. Hate it! Christmas day!!! Woohoooooo! It's about Christmas pressie opening time. I've tweeted many times about my super chio Christmas toy that i have had. This is the one.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Introduce to you....
Inside view!
So mad love with this little cute toy I have! Love the chio size, the swirly flower printed on, the pinky shading keyboard and it's so light. It's even lighter than my handbag i swear!!!
Super cutie, isn't it? Compare to my first lappie, they look like mother and daughter, lolz... Now that people asking me, what are you going to do with 2 laptops? Of course, I need both. One is for traveling usage, one is for heavy usage i.e: Photoshop, music and video editing. Can? Not just that, I even got these for myself!
It's neither hand-phone accessories nor key-accessories. It's 4GB USB ok! Damn powerful capacity in such a tiny body usb lor.
Last pinky toy!
Tadah it's mini-speaker.
I'm super in love with this burger-mini speaker. Dont judge it wrongly by seeing its side. Damn loud! Some more it's pink. Hahaha!!! You guys should get these! I think, they are cheaper in Malaysia than in Singapore. Oh i think that's enough to flood u guys up with all the pink stuffs. I had best Christmas ever with all my loves. Can't demand for more! A day after Christmas. The most exciting thing was I, my boyfriend and Ida (my wedding planner) went to look for my wedding gown. OMGGGG! It was so damn fun! I had my special wedding gown which I can assure it's super unique, sexy ever that no one ever seen before :D So mad love it! Sorry, no photo taken on trying out the gown as the wedding gown only be revealed on the day itself. So you guys gotta wait for it then. But i'm sure it's gonna shock people, lolz. That's all for now. Enjoying the holiday everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

The newbie in Crystal's family

The newbie in Crystal's family


I had a bad and ugly day yesterday after I came back from Malaysia. There are few stupid things suddenly happened that destroyed my day. And believe or not, both work- love- life coincidentally happened at the same timing. *Pissed*. Anyway, it's already new day today. Hopefully today will be better. I'm back to my blogging mode now since it's been few days i ignore it. I just can't wait to blog for you about my new "baby" just joined the Crystal family. It's been so long I'm wanting "him". I planned my budget to take him home probably next month of a month after. But he came earlier than i thought and know what I got it as a PRESENT. A super precious present ever, I'm so happy ;). Take a look at my toy!
The CANON EOS 450 Just my dream ^_^
Don't be so envious at me. I promise with this newbie, I will have lotsa beautiful photos for you to view in my blog. Happy? The first photos ever i took with this new camera is on Pui Wan's weeding (one of my beloved students). You are so lucky Pui wan, hehehe....
Here! The happy couple! Finally tight the not after almost 4 years dating if i'm not mistaken. So happy for you both. I was very happy that night too to come back and see all "old" faces, lolz. Super fun!
The Shall We Dance studio Gang.
The super actors and pretenders hahahah. Credit goes to Tonny Gan on this photo. He just held the camera and ask bunch of us turn here, turn there, lolz. Damn funny
And here, can see my heart shape finger ;)
After wedding dinner, i had to rush to another party with my colleagues girls. It's always like that every time i come back KL. :D So nice to see them all
Cam-whoring before entering the Beach club ;)
The party girls as usual. We lack one of the angel here :(
And ME!
Pretty simple, my trip back this time. And surprisingly, just a bout 2 months i stayed in Singapore, many people saying the same thing that i look so much different, much better than last time, lolz...Perhaps, Singapore air is cleaner then :D

The pink collection: part II

The pink collection: part II


I know i should have blogged about this long time ago!!! These are all things i wanted to get it on my own. I still remember the last 3 years, i was telling myself that I will try to buy stuffs on my own without asking for money from my parents: my camera, my handphone, my lappi, etc... I was calculating how much it would cost me in total: it was around RM6k- RM7k more or less. And I was thinking i don't know when i could buy all these stuffs. But yeah, for the last 1 year, I did it. I really did it on my own :=). Let's see what i have here! First is my camera. I got it in 2007 if I'm not mistaken. I love Sony- those pinky stuffs just drive me crazy :D
The original one and after I blink it up ;). Sorry for the blurriness of the photo.I should have taken it with a pro cam huh? Second: My HTC handphone. I've been searching for pink PDA handphone for so long but it seems so difficult. Those pinky ones in the market don't really attract me that much in their functions. Ended up, i bought this: HTC Touch 3G. I know it's BLACK color, so what? I can pinken it up ok? :D Put some shining crystals on it too :D
I vote 4 stars for this phone lor coz it's so light, convienent and friendly user especially for a lady with a small palm like me :D It just fits to my hands. With a lot of functions: email, diary, internet wifi, traveling tool (i love this most) ^_^. So what u are looking for? Third is this one. My pinky lappi ^_^. Again, it's in black color but, hmmmm....I have to make it into pink, lolz. Here it is
It's pretty, isn't? rather than just a plain cold black color :D
YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me half of the day to do this cover. But i think it's worth :pSome of the lappi accessories that i've bought: Of course, they're in pink all. My pink earphone. Don't look at the earphone, look at my pinky crystal nails instead, heheheh e:D
Ok, here are they! The pinky USB hub ratti *love it. It's so cute*, pink USB, pink mouse, oh yah. I got pink cooling pad too *forgot to take photos of it*
A pink lappi bag, just so convenient to travel around with it.
I bought this too, the pink traveling luggage that i kept an eyes on it long time ago :D. It looks like couple luggage huh? :D And these are the things that i bought coincidentally : The pink hair straightener. It so damn hard to look for this type of hair straightener i think. Bought it on Ebay ;) Costed me RM100 ++
The pinky glasses, does it look good on me? ;) There are still plenty of stuffs with me that i've collected. It's not easy to collect those things in pink you know plus it's not cheap either. Haiz, but so far, i'm happy with what i got and still continiue collect my pink stuffs if i can :D Yeah, that's about it. Gonna ciao for dinner! Next post coming up soon! Stay stunned!
