Application Review

Ichiro was dying to play on this, tapi once come near dia tak berani. Sbb budak2 kt situ melompat dgn ganasnya..hihi

This is me cam whoring, sorry mulut berminyak sbb baru jer lepas makan nasi beriyani. Ichiro tgh tido kt sebelah ehe

Family day Proton adalah tk best kerana saya tk menang any luck draw prize ponnnnnnnn. Tunggu sampai lebam tapi tk dapat. Arghhhh. Tensen haku. Hahaha. Mmg la target nk menang kereta kan. Tapi kalau tk dpt, busuk-busuk nak la jugak menang TV 40 inch ker…haihhh. Neway, tkyah nk citer banyak sbb tk bertuah pon, Ichiro jer lah dapat menang belon free banyak. Huhuhu.

Main stage utk kids activities

Kereta innovation. Tapi mcm I tk nampak kegunaan atap gelembung tu. Mungkin just utk sajer-sajer jer kot.

Dapat belon hijau bentuk love. Boleh lahh…later Ichiro buat asah gigi dia belon nih.

Tapi apa-apa pon, I’m kinda proud to be part of Proton actually. Ok am not the one yg kerja dengan Proton, my hubby is. Tapi, so far ni lah am in the opinion that Proton concern la jugak about staff’s family. Always family first. So, no wonder family day quite out standing. I tk sure la if ada company lain yg lagi hebat family day nyer, tapi to me this is the biggest family day yg I pernah attend. A lotss of activities such as paintball, go cart and many more (semua i tk try pon..huhu) , free foods, ice creams, tid bits and etc etc.

Tengah beratur for the tid bits. Nk habiskan kupon makan yg ada. Itupon terlebih2 jugak, ended up kami kasi ada satu mamat tu, dia kata boleh jugak la kasi dia kupon tu sbb dia nk amik ice cream lagi..hihi

Just like old times. Benda ni la yg buat saya tk sabar nk habis kelas n nk balik masa kecik2 dulu. Hehe. marukuuuu marukuuuu

Letih badut ni nk kene pintal2 belon, budak2 kerumun tk habis-habis…Tk termasuk mak-mak anda bapak-bapak yg kerumun sekali

Yang ni dah terpenat, so tertido. I’m blessed with a child yg senang nk tido walau di mana berada, asalkan penat or letih jer tido. Alhamdullilah….

Me posing time nk balik,  baju tk semengah, tergebeh2 kt bahu..hehe abaikan jerlah..

I hope Proton keep it that way lah. Tingkatkan benefit yg sedia ada (ngeh ngeh) dan berilah saya peluang menang kereta!

p/s: pictures were snapped using Instagram apps for iPhone. great apps! love it and the best part it’s free

Sorry I was too sleepy last night and missed to update my blog. I was actually wanted to publish a simple entry about my favourite apps (applications) for iPhone especially for camera and photo editor. Currently there are not so many apps in my iphone yet as I am still testing out some of the apps and prefer to do it one in a time. I don’t quite like it if my iphone cluttered with useless apps. To those who knows any good apps, feel free to share in the comment section. It’s lot better if the apps is free. Hehe.

Color Splash

I love this apps, since it makes my photo editing work lot much easier. I used to use photoshop to do the color splash effect, but now I can just edit the photo straight away after I snap it by using my fingers! Color splash effect is an excellent way to accentuate certain part in your photo. Here is an example of photo that has been edited using color splash apps. It’s not a perfect choice of photo for example, but good enough to showcase capability of this apps. Color splash apps is not free tho, feel happy to pay USD1.99. Hehe.

ToonPaint

I have been dreaming for all my life (bit exaggerate here) to make my picture to look like drawings in retro comics….like in those marvel comics. In photoshop there’s an option to apply the sketch effect, however the result doesn’t look cartoony enough to me and I can’t color it the way I want it to be colored (actually can, but bit troublesome).

So, ToonPaint is pretty superb and easy to use too. It will be much easier if you have slimmer fingers than mine. Mine are too fat for everything. Haha. Here an example of half way done cartoon picture of myself. I have yet to learn how I can save as draft and continue my coloring work later. At the moment, I need to finish up the coloring and save it. Can’t remember whether not this apps is free.

TiltShiftGen

This apps allow you to edit your photos like a fake miniature with soft focus and vignetting effect. It’s not as good as DSLR aperture or bokeh effect tho but you can get an outcome close to photos taken by DSLR, providing you know how to play with the soft focus point and brush/feather size. very well Other than that, you can also adjust the hue saturation of the pictures so that I would looks like it being taken in the 80′s. Cool aight?

One drawback, I can’t seems to be able to upload pictures from library / from my camera roll to this camera apps and edit the existing picture. I need to snap the photo using this camera apps and later edit it there and then, meaning u got to remember to use this camera instead of the standard camera apps and also quickly edit the picture the way you want and save it. And also it won’t save your original photos, it will only keep the edited ones. Pretty bummer huh? Because, I always prefer to keep my original photos as well. So  utk this apps, gambar yg you rasa tk penting and tk perlu simpan original version boleh la guna kot.

Similar result can be achieve by using Picasa software also. Here is an example of photo that I edit using Picasa.

Here how’s the original (pretty similar to original, couldn’t find the real original, I might  have accidentally deleted it) photo looks like. Ada tong sampah, tiang letrik, kereta and gambar adalah senget sket. Ehe. And it was a bit dark too.

Camerabag

Currently my favourite! Why? Because it is super easy peasy to use. One rules to get the most out of this camera apps is to take a nice pretty shot. That’s all you need as the apps will do the rest for you. If gambar yg diambil mmg sedia tk berapa lawa, result pon ala-ala jer lah. This apps capable to give you different preview of the pictures for different effects, so u got to choose which effect you like the most and save it.

Here a sample of image with different effects. I always love Helga, Instant, Magazine, Cinema, 1974, Mono…o mannn seems liking it all! Haha. Camerabag is not a free apps. Need to pay USD1.99. But hey, it really worth the money. Good thing you can upload your picture anytime, apply the effects and it will also save the original version. Very cool.

So, I think am done for now. Hope that to those yang tanya-tanya I before this, which apps I use to edit my pictures berpuas hati , so far cuma ini sahajalah if later I bump into another good apps, will certainly share it here.

I’m yearning for Camera+ app, but it has been banned by Apple and only god knows when Camera+ will ever make it back on the market. But Camera+ used to be a top paid app, it was simply the best app ever created for photography purposes. Too bad I got my iPhone after it being banned. Hehe. My next hunt is watermarking apps and also photo layout template software like Photoscape

Wanna say thanks to James owner of Friedbeef website. He’s the one who introducing me to lots of cool camera and photos apps. I met him once during my homestay trip. He’s one of the participant. Never thought he’s the owner of such a famous website! I should thank my lucky star He blogs/writes about technology,  lotttsssss of tips and stuff like that. I like the web very much, since am really into gadget and applications. Unique visitor of Friedbeef websiteI assume must be around 18k a day or more. Salute!

Hey! I got a Facebook page for my blog already =) Heeee poyo tak? I’ve been neglecting the idea of having a page for my blog because I don’t think it is necessary. Not until last night when I was chatting with Aini (my webblog developer), she brought up the topic.

She asked me whether not I have a page or group page or anything on Facebook so that she could create customize tab for my FB page. I didn’t know that we can actually create a customize tab other than the default tab such as wall, info, photos, notes, and etc. Thanks to Aini who highlighted it to me.

Mr & Mrs Imran | Promote Your Page Too

The customize tab is pretty cool as you can actually paste of put in everything you like in it. It can mirror your blog tab also. Albeit I’ve yet to decide what are the tabs that I wanna include in, but since Aini offer to do it for me for FREE as a token of appreciation since I’ve introduced her to few of my friends who were looking for web designer in the past, so I quickly create a page today. Benda free jangan dilepaskan. Hehe.

So, jadinya am proud to announce that I have a FB page for Mr & Mrs Imran blog already. However, I refuse to call it a fan page as I think that we are all equal. I prefer to have friends rather than fans. Bukan tk suka, cumanya blog I ni belum tahap nk kata femes la, just that I dh lama blogging. Kalau ada otai page I prefer create tu dari fan page kot. Hahaha.

Come join me and the others on Facebook. You can click on the badge above or click HERE to join. Baru 11 org jer member buat masa sekarang ni..ehe. Takper baby step =) Thanks for joining!

Ok here’s the trick..hehe (trick la sangat kan), but it’s pretty neat as you can attach your latest tweet in your email or forum (as signature) and also on your blog or website. This is not a paid ad. I just feel like sharing If you guys “like” this simple tutorial, kindly share on FB or retweet (use my new and sleek share & retweet button above this post) so that I know there’s a demand and from time to time I can make more simple tutorial similar to this.

I discovered Tweetbars when I was lurking for “tetsuhighrose” Daily L.I comic thread in lowyat, read my post about the comic here. Huhu. Worry not, this is really a child play as you just need to copy and paste the code into your signature box and your tweet will shown up almost immediately.

Here is how to go about;

1) Visit http://www.tweetbars.com
2) Insert in your twitter ID as below image and click “get one”

3) After that..taraaa codes are ready to be paste wherever you want. Looking good aight? Refer below image.

This is example of my signature in email I don’t fancy attaching signature at the end of my entry as I think it got no use and definitely will require extra times in loading my page which will only hurt my readers who’s struggling to get connected to internet. So, I attached it in email and……

as my forum signature too! (featuring @kujie in my tweetbars)

So, sapa-sapa yg suka letak signature berbagai rupa bentuk, try lah tweetbars. But, tweetbars is only for twitter user lah. The best part is, your tweet display in tweetbars will continously changing as you tweet more. Meaning kalau hari ni I email you, and my tweet is for example “abcdef”, then tomorrow if you open the same email again, the tweet will change to “xyz” (providing you ada tweet lagi lah selepas your latest tweet semalam). Hope you guys get it lah, haku ni kadang-kadang cakap berbelit. Hehe. So, eh TGIF eh?

p/s: I got my first order for the chocs! Yay! Will update soon

Ok, I know am so degil, I suppose to sleep by now actually, but dunno what’s keeping me wide awake this late…haihh it really requires mountain of effort to change a habit. In my case, I wanted to sleep early at night and live long [as last few days I read an article in newspaper and it said that people who gets less than 6 hours sleep at night more likely to die fast...whaddaaaaa, confirm la haku mengelupur lepas baca tu]

So, am trying hard to sleep early, but till now as I type -obviously I failed. This is no good, I must try harder…err tomorrow.

I was blog hopping and read on a very interesting topic here about blog + twitter and facebook. Great post Millie! You shouldn’t let your blog berhabuk again cos ur blog has just added 1 more follower/fan —> me!

Picture source :  www.google.com

Ever since Twitter started to make a hit to social media users, many bloggers found that Twitter is so much easy and simpler than blog. No exception to yours truly as I do think the same too. Many said Twitter is the new blog, or Twitter is the new Facebook or Twitter is the new whateverrrrr…

I got my very own opinion on this topic and allow me to share okeh.

I love Twitter because..

• easy to update my status
• great platform to share small things in between major blog posts
• can make money also thru ads. tapi skang saya sudah malassssss mahu compose ads. hihi.
• easy to access thru handphone and pc software
• perfect media to stay connected on the go
• can share pic and video also, how cool is that?
• can simply menyampuk org lain punye tweet and make new friend instantly! even celebrities and perdana menteri malaysia. hehehe…
• sharing links thru twitter is brilliant! banyak org curious akan click and ur followers can retweet and their followers plak akan click and then retweet..u know spreading like a virus!
• hmm what else? the best part, it’s free la

I hate Twitter because..

• my readers prefer to comment on my entry via twitter [lucky I got the twitoaster thingy that could relay comment made on twitter back to my blog post, but some didn't get through] Tapi not that I marah la org komen via twitter, I ok jer…sbb kenelah akur dengan perkembangan teknologi heee, sbbnyer I pon kadang2 komen via twitter jugak. Cumanya I terfikir…kalau lah Twitter tidak wujud, sure tkder channel lain for readers to comment except blog kan? Lain lah kalau org rajin nk SMS and komen pasal blog. Hehe. Ada ker?
• Somehow it also lessening blog reader’s excitement towards new entry/post. Because often they will get mini updates [or sneak peek] via twitter. So mcm dah tahu or dah boleh agak, jadinya tk berapa nak surprise. From now on, no mini updates or sneak peek thru twitter lagi from me. Hee. Wpun adalah tidak tahan mahu bercerita….but l love my blog more than my twitter. Blog ada hmmm..nostalgic value
• hmm what else? I can’t think other than the above la…sbb saya nk cepat tido ni. Dah pukul 3.20am. Kalau korang ada benda nk tambah, silalah tambah ok.

Conclusion, I still prefer and love blog, since I think I can express myself better here. Macam kad hari raya tulisan tangan dengan kad hari raya versi SMS. Yg mana you all rasa lebih mendalam makna kata-katanya?

Surely kad yg tulisan tangan kan? Sbb nyer org yg tulis kad tu, takes extra miles to get the card send to you seperti mencari pen utk menulis, sekali pen tk jumpa, dah jumpa pen tkder ink pulak, terpaksa cari another pen, then tk jumpa, susah2 sangat gi kedai beli pen kilometrico baru, kalau nasib baik tkder aral lagi baru lah boleh tulis sepatah dua kata. Itupon kalau tulisan tk cakar ayam, boleh la buat sekali terus siap, kalau cakar ayam, nk kene padam 2-3 kali sampai lunyai kad. Lepas tu nk kene cari gam, nk gi beli stamp then nk gi pos…Panjang ceritanya beb..

And masihkah ingat pantun femes? Nostalgic ok pantun ni..

Pecah Kaca Pecah Gelas
Sudah Baca Harap Balas

To cut it short, it requires such a HUGEeeeeeee effort ok to get the card posted. Terharu ok, lelebih lagi bila ur chenta hati yg willing to go thru the hassle to send the card. Itu belum lagi kad buatan sendiri. Imran pernah hantar kad bentuk ketupat eons ago and I still keeping it now. Yer betul bentuk ketupat yer kawan-kawan, sgt tk lawa kad tu. Tapi I sayanggggg bangat!

But today, ucapan selamat hari raya dengan corak-corak meletup bagai [sungguh kreatif] boleh forward within few clicks jer. Kalau I dpt, then I delete or worst tgk kt preview inbox jer, kalau ada SMS yg sama before tu, tkkan nk baca benda yg sama over and over again yer tak? So, simply delete without reading.

Basically my experience using twitter ni…more to love hate experience la. Once in blue moon, I feel like deleting my twitter, but on second thought tk jadi…for now come follow lah me on twitter here is the link. Ehe.

To blogger[s] who’s reading this, I share mine already, what’s ur verdict?

p/s: blog will always be my creative outlet
