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…

Ethical Hacking, Hack Legally

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Ethical Hacking, Hack Legally

We all know that hacking is bad. It causes a lot of problems to businesses and end users. You might risk getting your confidential data stolen or might get your system go crazy. Everyone hates hackers but not those that hack ethically. It’s known as Ethical Hacking.

I’m sure some of you might be surprised about this. Is there such thing as ethical hacking? Yes, it’s very common in ensuring tight IT Security. Ethical hackers help companies identify and fix the loopholes in their systems to ensure users are protected from unethical hackers. If there is no such experts, we will be in very vulnerable state as we rely so much on the Internet.

In fact becoming an ethical hacker is something very interesting. I know some friends of mine are crazy about hacking. They hack to improve security and not to jeopordize security. Most of them do not have special certificate for this, they did it just for the fun of it. However, if you are really interested and would like to be certified, you can sign up for a course to be a Certified Ethical Hacker. This job can pay you really well. If you are certified, you will have better chances of getting hired.

As you know, the economy nowadays is bad and many got retrenched or even pay cut. This is one job that will ensure you will stay on the job and still get paid well because you are very important to the company, they cannot lose you, if they do, they will get themselves into huge trouble!

Besides that, there are also courses such as Security Fundamentals, Penetration Testing, Computer Forensics
, Disaster Recovery, and Secure Programming on offer. All these can pay you really well. I’m sure those who wants to venture into much more exciting IT field will find these very interesting.

As an IT graduate myself, I’m aware of how important these professionals are to the IT industry. I urge you to venture into these fields if you can. There isn’t many professionals like this, do something different and make yourself stand out among tonnes and tonnes of IT graduates. You will stand a better chance to get satisfying job with satisfying salary.

Facebook Games

Posted on By sweet surrender 14 Comments on Facebook Games

I’ve been seeing people playing games in facebook for quite a while and I did not understand and got no interest at all to join in the bandwagon.

Then few days ago, I was feeling not really in the mood to study and then I got nothing much to do, actually there are but I’m demotivated by somebody’s attitude and I’m mentally and emotionally tired. I decided to check out what those games are all about that are making so many people went crazy about. On that fateful day, I too got stuck with the games! OH NO! ;p

First, I tried Restaurant City, this is the most addictive! OH DEAR! You know what I do? I log into the game, supervise a bit, let it runs on its own, and I do my revision. Guess what?!?! I revise better and faster. Weird eh?

Then, when I’m done with a part of my revision, I will check back and see whether there is anything that I need to do to improve my score or just to add something here and there. After that, I will go back to do my revision again.

Hahaha… Before that, my revision pace was so slow but now it’s fast! Actually I’m not the kind that can do my revision in quiet environment and only do revision. I have to watch TV, listen to radio or at least do something else I won’t be able to revise anything.

By the way, seeing them move around is quite fun also. Kinda cute hehehe… I could sometimes stare at the game for minutes to see them move around *LOL*

Next, I tried Happy Farm. Not so addictive but fun enough.

There isn’t much to do but wait for most of the time. You have to wait for your plants to grow and sell them. Once in a while, you will need to kill the weeds and worms or water. Sometimes if I feel a bit restless, then I will go steal some veggies from my friends or help kill the weeds and worms or help watering the plants for my friends.

Lastly, it’s Pet Society. This doesn’t give me much excitement, I think it’s quite boring. You have to keep entertaining your pet else there is nothing much to do. A bit too much work for me since I’m doing my revision. ;p

So that’s all for today. Any plan for this coming weekend and long holiday? All I know is that I will be having exams on this weekend. Then… jiak kaki I guess… How I wish my darling is here with me… Anyone wanna date me? ;p

La Beauté Expo (LBE) 2009

Posted on By sweet surrender 3 Comments on La Beauté Expo (LBE) 2009

Just a quick update on this. I went there last night to catch the stage show, Maison Monica – Makeup Show.


Before we went in, we had to register ourselves. There are many booths not only from local merchants but also from outstation. Kinda impressed with it at first. Later when I reached the stage, it was disappointing -.-”


Anyway, I’m given with TRADE sticker instead of VISITOR hahaha… In fact I was kinda blur actually. Simply filled in the form and left my name card and automatically they gave me this sticker. I should have just tell them I’m there for a visit only ;p Don’t care…

Also got a SISTERS magazine, April issue. I thought it’s May issue duh~ They have 4000 copies to giveaway for first 4000 visitors.

Oh! One good news for Loreal users, go get your products stock up if you want because they are having 20% discount!! Not bad. I would have get something there but I don’t have anything to stock up now so there is no point to buy.

There’s still today and tomorrow. Go check it out if you want.
Date: 8th – 10th May 2009
Time: 10AM – 9PM
Venue: 5th Floor, Permata Exhibition Hall, Kuching, Sarawak

Lots of photos from the stage show to filter, will update about it when I’m free. Having full swing class today -.-” No public holiday for me. As if public holiday got anything to do with me, holiday or not, makes no difference to me now.
