All About Photography

Posted on January 14, 2007November 10, 2007 By sweet surrender 9 Comments on All About Photography

Many bloggers are interested in photography. We bring our compact cameras everywhere and shoot almost anything with it. It’s worst when there’s a bloggers’ meet. Everyone can’t seem to stop snapping pictures. We are not pro, we are just bloggers and the most affordable camera to buy is of course a compact camera. We all know that there are many limitations in compact cameras. However, it’s not the end of the world yet. I found this article about taking Better pictures with a compact from a photography blog. Hopefully with the tips, we can maximize our compact cameras potential.

Here’s one more that is very interesting. Since CNY is coming soon… In about 1 month+ time, Oh gosh.. Haven’t do my shopping yet :P. Ok enough of that. Let’s go back to our topic. On CNY’s eve, I’m sure there will be people bombing their money into the sky. I tried desperately to take photos of fireworks last year and ended up with awful shoots. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Let’s learn from this article, How to photograph fireworks. Hopefully it’s helpful enough 🙂

Happy shooting!

Cut My Hair

Posted on January 13, 2007 By sweet surrender 20 Comments on Cut My Hair

Went to have my hair cut+wash just now. The last time I got my hair cut was June 2006. Before my hair cut just now, my hair length had reached my waist when it’s dry; when it’s wet, it’s much longer than that. Now it’s so much shorter with fringe. Haven’t had any hair wash session for more than a year (I think…) and decided to have it today. I was expecting that I’m going to pay RM35 or RM38 for cut+wash but to my surprised, only RM30! Got really nice upper body massage. Feel less “heavy” now.

I went to Rejuvenate @ Crown Square. This time, it’s not the boss that cut my hair, he has been cutting my hair for years. However, this time it’s a newly hired hair stylist (not that new actually, as the last time I was there was more than half year ago). -_-” I was worried that she might not used to my hair and I’ll ended up having a hard to manage hairstyle later. I thought… Well… Maybe… Let’s see what she can do, just take the risk.

I’m the type that usually let the hair stylist do whatever he/she thinks is necessary with my hair instead of me telling he/she how to do it. I told her that I wanted a layer cut and I want a fringe, the rest is up to her creativity. Then, I warned her that I have natural curls as she didn’t deal with my hair before the hair cut, when she came to me, I had just finished my hair wash session and the hair was still wet. Just to let her know, just in case.

Here’s the final result:

She asked me whether I want to straighten or curl, I said that I want it to be curled. This is my temporary curls 😛 After my next hair wash, we’ll see how my newly cut hair looks like.

I’m No Angel

Posted on January 11, 2007January 11, 2007 By sweet surrender 18 Comments on I’m No Angel

I don’t know but this is just me. It’s very hard to comprehend, very irrationale but it’s in me ever since I’m in this world. I don’t think I can ever change. You know… The kind of feeling when you meet somebody and immediately your instinct tells you that “Hmm… I like this person”/”Shit! I hate him/her” even before you get to know him/her or even before he/she utters the first word to you? He/She had never even offended you but you had already form negative feelings towards him/her straight away?

I’m this kind of person. I don’t know why. From then on, I will try to avoid being in the same place as that person or even involve in anything that related to him/her because if I do, my blood will boil without any reason and I can get really “TULAN” until I can be very hostile to him/her even boycott anything that related to him/her. So to avoid this to happen, I will stay as far away as possible with that person.

The good thing about this instinct is that most of the time, it protects me from getting hurt but sometimes the feelings will also affect those around me especially when that person is related to another person that I like. I really can’t help it. It happens to me now! -_-“

Not only that, I’m quite a revengeful person. If you hurt me, I’m going to make sure that I hurt you even more; If you are good to me, I’m going to be super duper good to you. It goes the same if you are bad to my friends or family. You hurt them, I’m going to hurt you even more. As simple as that. As a Christian, we are told to be a forgiving person but I fail miserably in this chapter. *LOL* I’m so sorry lar… I really cannot see those that are close to me getting hurt. Those that hurt my close ones stand no chance to be forgiven if they don’t change; If they do change, then I will forgive them.

You can see that these 2 traits are quite contradicting when it comes to certain scenarios. Nevermind about that, it’s very hard for me to explain. *SIGH* Due to that instinct, I guess I really hurt the other person’s feelings very badly 🙁 today. I really can’t help it! I can’t control it! What should I do? Apologize? Or act as if nothing had happened before? *SIGH*

Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara

Posted on January 10, 2007February 27, 2008 By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara

Let me get this straight! This is not an advert! I’m not paid to blog for this.

I started to wear Maybelline Unstoppable Mascare since last year end. I had taken photos of it when I reached home after bought them from Watsons but strangely I couldn’t find them anywhere hmm… so I had to look for photos from the Internet.

Maybelline claimed that this mascara can lengthen your eyelashes as much as 50%, and it’s smudge-proof. Many girls sure wish to have lengthy eyelashes, they go all way to get it such as getting eyelashes extension, fake lashes or using mascara to achieve the effect. I’m not that crazy about the length of eyelashes however I cannot deny that long eyelashes with nice curve are pretty. The most important thing for me is smudge-proof.

Carol applied this mascara for me last year for my photo shoots at Alvin’s. Black color was used. Amazingly… It didn’t smudge at all after the mid-day shoot in the studio and after one whole afternoon under the hot sun. I was sweating profusely and the makeup melted but I didn’t get panda eyes at the end of the day even though had it on since the morning! Cool! From then on, I told myself to get this mascara when my old one finished or when it’s time to chuck away.

I don’t always apply mascara unless I need to attend functions or meeting clients(only when I have enough time to get ready before meeting them) else they are bare. I don’t use eyelash curler, usually I only apply 1 coat of mascara, sometimes 2, depends on my mood.


I applied 1 coat in this photo. So… Does Unstoppable lengthen my eyelashes? From the photos… It seems no difference. What do you think?


How about this? Seems lengthened a bit but not 50%. However, I was surprised by the curling effect. I didn’t expect it to curl my eyelashes but it did! Without eyelash curler summore!! Oh… It’s dark brown mascara instead of black. I’ve been using it for quite sometimes now and I dare to say that IT IS REALLY SMUDGE PROOF!!!

Girl Stuffs, Review It!

About Sweet Surrender v8.0

Posted on January 9, 2007 By sweet surrender 5 Comments on About Sweet Surrender v8.0

This new blog using WP is up for 2 weeks already and I had not said anything much about it except complaining about how hard it was to upload and also the lack of idea on the design. Till now, I still don’t have any idea yet for the design yet -_-“

If you had noticed that I have quite a number of Commercial Breaks in between posts. I know some of you might not like it but I have my reason. However, if you still can’t accept it, well… I guess you can leave. No one forces you to stay anyway.

I had signed up with PPP because I would love to blog for money as I don’t get fixed income with the job I’m doing currently. I’m self employed and as most of you know that I work as a web designer/developer or whatever you called it, basically I’m providing web developing related services such as selling domain names, hosting, develop websites etc. to companies/individuals. Sometimes, I don’t have any income at all in a month. Therefore, I have to find a way to make extra money. Even though I had sign up for PPP and I can take up any opportunity offered in there, I still make sure that I don’t take it just for the sake of making money from it. I still filter them and only take up those that are of my interest; that I understand and related to me. If you would like to be part of PPP, you can sign up here

As for Adsense, it’s been there ever since last year. Just that this year I have more. Again… I’m attempting to make extra income. If you want Adsense too, then sign up for Adsense here.

Also, see the PixelAd on the right? I’m sharing this PixelAd with Jimmy. So, if you do buy it, you will have your ad display in not only my site but also Jimmy’s. His traffic is way much higher than mine. You can advertise in 2 sites with only one payment and we have different type of audiences too so your ad will be exposed to wider group of people. Kill two birds with one stone, why not?

I’m thinking of putting the Paypal Donate button too but I don’t think I will do that as it’s just not me. I don’t feel good by accepting people’s donation for not offering anything back. Hence with all the ads and PPP in my blog that at least I’m offering something back rather than getting money without doing anything. *LOL*I don’t think anyone will donate anyway 😛

I will get my Cafepress online shop back up when I have the time to do so though I only manage to sell two things only with the profit of USD4 for so many years. My USD4 is still stuck in there until now as the minimum withdrawal is USD20. If you are interested to be one of the member too, feel free to sign up and sell your artwork there! 🙂

Enough about making money. Actually I still have a lot to blog but I don’t have the time yet. If you noticed all my posts are kinda short with mostly photos that do the talking. There are too may things to settle.

Long winding post huh? Hate me if you want to. I’ll stop here.*BLEK*

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
