The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.2)

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.2)

Hehehe… Back by popular demand ;p I’m making a category specially for it.

Many requested to see the making love aka make baby aka woohoo, all these activities have same animation but only making baby will produce baby(I think… Can anyone confirm it?). Well… Nothing much to see, they did it under the sheet! *LOL*

See! Nothing to see at all! Finally she’s pregnant after 2 tries!


The the baby came. Last time they just had the baby at home with nothing much to see, you would just see the sims having labour pain and not long later a baby will be sleeping soundly on the mother’s arm but now there’s an option to go to the hospital. I selected this option and nothing interesting. You only got to stare at the hospital building until the baby is finally out and go home. *LOL*

Next, I’ll get them to make another child and this time I’ll see how’s the animation for having baby at home wakaka!

I realized that they don’t have a diaper changing furniture unlike the previous one. This time they just change it “in the air”. WOW! Very advance! Hold the baby up and viola! Diaper changed.

One more thing, you cannot plan the maternity clothing, they are preset. You cannot have fancy fancy ones, you can only make choices from what it’s given to you and only one for one function(everyday, athletic, formal, and sleep wear).

Will post again when there’s progress as I’m currently running out of things to blog and also exam coming soon… Time flies…

The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.1)

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on The Sims 3 – The C Family (Pt.1)

Finally got The Sims 3 last Sunday. Not going to tell you where I got it ;p I have my source. Don’t ask and thank you hahaha…

I’ve been playing The Sims since the very first it was introduced long long time ago, I don’t remember when and how. I think it was my bro who bought the game and that time he was only in primary school. We love to play the game so much not for the character building but to decorate a house! We never progress much in playing the game but kept renovating and redecorating the house only. The characters are secondary.

Sadly, my XPS cannot support the game very much -.-” I don’t have enough RAM, so I had to play it in 800×600 resolution and reduce many graphical properties. In fact playing with such setting is enough to slow my computer a LOT! The game hangs quite a fair bit unless I close all my browsers and MSN. It’s pretty annoying really but what to do… Actually I can still play full screen if I off everything except this game but I still need to do some other things on the computer, there is no way for me to solely play this games without attending to other matters as you know how much time playing such game can consume.

I was amazed by the new functions. You can customize so many types of designs on practically everything, from the colours to the patterns. Cool! The sims are smarter now compare to last time ;p Not only that, the furniture can be placed around with more flexibility too. You can also go shopping, attend classes, gyms, go to beauty salons, dine in a restaurant and more! Unlike last time you have to buy the extension packs.

Anyway, here’s my game screen shoots:

Left: The house, I didn’t build it, lazy, I just placed the furniture in and extended the house a bit. The money? From cheats of course ;p My sims will never need to worry about money therefore to make it an easy game, I’ll just get them to be money oriented in their traits.

Right: My sims, Clair and Craig C. Couldn’t think of any name, simply gave one. They were housemates and my plan was to make them fall in love, get married and have kids *LOL* Just very normal sims hehehe… Nothing interesting. Then I’ll renovate and extend the house when new sims comes.


Developing their love for each other, lots of kissing, flirting, cuddling, making out, and woohoo ;p.


Clair proposed! Hahaha… I wanted Craig to propose but then I couldn’t find the option.


24 hours later, they had a simple wedding ceremony. Hmm… I was hoping that Clair would change into a wedding gown but aiks… No… There wasn’t one. Wonder how to get her to wear one *LOL*

Previously in The Sims 2, when they got married, they will automatically donned wedding attire. For this one, I don’t know how. Still have lots to discover.

Next, will get them to make babies hahaha… Want to see how they make one? ;p

Then after I got bored with this family, I might ditch this family and build another character with different story line maybe… Provided I have lots of time or I’m too bored.

Wonder should I post about the progress and set up a new category just for this game? Hehehe…

Beware of Fake E-mails from Gmail

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Beware of Fake E-mails from Gmail


Yesterday evening I got this e-mail in my Gmail, I almost fell for it. I read it again and again and my first impression was how come Google is so lousy?!?! I didn’t even notice that the e-mail asked for password until later on. I decided to leave it there and went back to it again later then I suddenly realized that it asked for password so it’s not a real thing.

In case you got such message(asking for username and password or personal information) in the future, make sure you do not reply to such e-mail.

Taken from Google (http://www.google.com.my/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=75061):

A phishing message is an email that tries to trick you into revealing personal information by appearing to be from a legitimate source, such as a bank (or the Google Team!).

Messages or websites phishing for information might ask you to enter this information:

* Usernames and passwords
* Social Security numbers
* Bank account numbers
* PINs (Personal Identification Numbers)
* Credit card numbers
* Your mother’s maiden name
* Your birthday

Phishers often ask for personal information in an attempt to steal your Google Account, money, credit, or identity.

You should always be wary of any message that asks for your personal information, or messages that refer you to a webpage asking for personal information.

If you receive this type of message, especially from a source claiming to be Google or Gmail, please don’t provide the information requested. Google will never send unsolicited mass messages asking for your password or personal information, or messages containing executable attachments.

In fact, this applies to other services that you sign up online also. So be extra careful.

My First Digital Scrapbooking

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on My First Digital Scrapbooking

I’ve seen many mommy bloggers doing digital scrapbooking for quite a while and I’ve been wondering how it’s done yet I never bother to find out.

Then last weekend I came across a link when I randomly blog hopped. It led me to a site related to digital scrapbooking. I thought there’s special software to do it but there wasn’t any. I read the tutorial and found out that all you need is Photoshop or other photo editing software.

ShabbyPrincess provides kits for digital scrapbooking for free(non-commercial use). You can download them, there are many types available.

It’s so easy to use. Basically the kit consists of various images/elements that you can place into the layers of Photoshop. Not rocket science at all hahaha… Silly me… Anyone that knows how to use Photoshop of photo editing software will not have problem doing it at all. The images/elements are in *.PNG

In fact you don’t have to download the kit if you know how to make your own designs. The kit is just to help make your life easier and for those that don’t know how to make their own designs.

I downloaded one kit called Harvest Spice that was released in October 2007 and here you go… I tried it out today. Took me 30 minutes coz I was doing some other things at the same time.

I know the photos are not suitable for this design ;p

Anyway, this gives me a gift idea for my friend’s wedding this year end. Since I’m invited to her wedding, I told her that I’m going to take lots of photos of her wedding ceremony and she said that she will pay me for it so I might as well do something nice for her.

I’m not so sure about the paying part, if she really pays me, then I’ll accept it. If she doesn’t then I don’t mind too. I told her I’ll just simply shoot, I’m just kaypo-ing, I’m just taking the photos for fun.

It will be my first time attending a church wedding. I’m not a pro photographer, far from that but she insisted to give me “ang pao” so I might as well do something better for her rather than only burn all the images(good and bad) for her.

Oh! This is not paid post!

Samsung Imagi.nation

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Samsung Imagi.nation

Found this interesting contest from Samsung. I decided to join in for fun to try my luck. Why don’t you join it too.

Here’s my blog post, you can click here to go directly to my post, feel free to leave comment ;p Hehehe…:

However, I don’t really get how this whole things work. Anyone got any idea? I’m provided with a chunk of codes to paste into my blog but it just doesn’t make sense, the output is odd. It shows my post but the author name is not my name. If I log out of Samsung Imagi-nation, it will show me errors. -.-”

The site is weird too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I found out that I had to keep switching between the high bandwidth and low bandwidth version else I can’t browse or click on anything. So weird…

I will reproduce my post here:

Can you imagine life without gadget? I can’t. You can?

I rely on the Internet to earn money, if you are going to take away any gadget that can let me access the Internet, I will be doomed! My career will go down the drain. OH NO!

Unless if you are going to pay me a handsome income every month for not using any electronic gadget.

Still… Even if you are able to pay me to live without any electronic gadget, my personal life will be doomed!

I rely on electronic gadgets to stay connected with my darling. I need the Internet, I need the phone. Only this way we can connect with each other.

Unless you can bring my darling back to me, be with me 24/7, and pay him a handsome amount of income by either matching his current income or more, then I don’t need any gadget anymore.

Life without Gadget is living hell! I will lost my career and I will lost my love too. So pathetic can! Please don’t take that away from me. NO! NO! NO!

OK… If you insist… Then be sure you can fulfill the above mentioned requirements before taking all my gadgets away. Hehehe…

Interesting, Tech Stuffs
