Restlessness

It's been too long. Can't stand all this staying at home and not accomplishing anything feeling. I need to get back on my feet and start doing something useful. God, please help me!

New Blogshop: i Heart Cotton.Candy

Hey guys! I've just launched a clothes blogshop HERE. Each design is handpicked to cater to the fashion savvy. Of course we'd want you to look good! ;) Do check it out and support us! ^^

iHeart Cotton.Candy

The theme of our first collection are floral printed dresses and blazers. I personally am a fan of those cotton blazers. Throw them over a tank top for that casual chic look, over a nice shirt for a smart butch look or even over a dress for a semi-formal look or just plain attitude!

Fun with the new Facebook profile layout

My first thought when I first saw the recent profile changes on Facebook was that there's less privacy as all details would be listed right on top of the page, just below the user's name. No way was anyone going to convince me to voluntarily switch to it!

But I've gotta eat my words now thanks to this article on Gizmodo.

Alexandre Oudin's

All I can say is brilliant. The artist, Alexandre Oudin, has deffo inspired me to attempt his ingenious idea :)

Excerpt from Gizmodo:

"For anyone who wants to copy his style, all you have to do is block the other photos you're tagged in and upload photos to your profile pictures album that are the exact size (yes, down to the pixel) of the display on Facebook and voilà!"

 Mine!

I had a bit of trouble understanding the tip at first and so decided to tinker around a bit. This was the final way I used:

First off is to block tagged photos and to make a screenshot of your Facebook profile. Adjust the screenshot opacity so that it's semi-transparent. Insert a photo, align it into the photo areas and crop the areas you'd like to use. It helps if you have a photo editing software such as Photoshop. Once you get this sorted out, upload them into your profile photo album and start tagging! Remember to tag the photo that is supposed to appear at the end of the photostream first.


Or if trying to align all the photos is too much of a pain, even this looks pretty cool :)

My first attempt

What do you think?

Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra

Saw these videos 'bout a month ago and am still addicted to to them! Ga-in is just too hot! :D

Summer Updates

Hi all! Disappeared for quite a bit huh? First off, I'm back in Msia!! :) Have been in KL for the past few days and will be heading back to the beloved island on the 28th. Thanks WK and XM for having me! :)

Prior to this I had travelled a bit to a couple of places in south England. Cornwall, Winchester, Cheddar, Burley and Canterbury to name a few. For those who know me personally, pictures are on facebook! For the rest of you, here are a few for your viewing pleasure!

London

It's a regret of mine to have not toured certain parts of Europe before coming back. The land of legalized weed, Amsterdam, especially. Places like Barcelona, Brussels, Greece, Malta and Turkey that were also on top of my to-go list were also given the miss. Oh well, I'm glad to have at least visited Berlin. Deffo one of best cities ever! I'd go back anyday! :)

Till next time! Adiós!
