The Big O~~~~

at wheelock, opp nydc. it's supposedly sister of nydc, so weird to have 2 competing sisters right opposite each other.

anyways, i went there for desserts!

Spike D, durian cake with a layer of choc over it. it's heavenlyyyyyyy!~ omg e durian is so surprisingly thick n flavourful, and e choc is not too much of a shock to e overall taste! a must-try!
.

Batman Returns mud pie, also a splendid dessert. i tot it's just a block of frozen ice cream, but it actually has a thin layer of cake in between, giving e mud pie a whole new texture. yums!

will go back again! hee~

i need more time!

lately i feel like i have an acute shortage of time, it's like....

if i have a long lunch, i'll have to knock off late.
if i knock off late, i'll have no time to go yoga.

or

if i knock off late, i'll have no time to meet beefie.
if i meet beefie, i'll have no time for tv or online.

or

if i meet beefie, i'll have no time for my friends (but my friends have been pang seh-ing me lately for unknown reasons, so tis problem is not tat acute).
if i have time to come online n blog, i'll have no time for facebooking or msning.

when on e train,

if i watch 下一站，幸福 on iphone youtube, then i'll have no time to whatsapp lu

or

if i watch youtube, i'll have no time to reply my social emails.
if i reply my social emails, i'll have no time to play iphone games.

if i get engrossed w my iphone, i'll have no time to read a novel or newspapers on e train (i havent been reading e papers since i've got my iphone).

then on wkends,

if i iron my clothes, i'll have no time for yoga.
if i go yoga, i'll have no time to do pedi/mani/facial.

conclusion: i need more time, for all these immaterial things tat dont earn me money. lol.

photoshopping is my new-found talent!

sequel to my prev post!

hurhurhur actually i juz noe slightly more than normal ppl, not exactly veriii pro. mostly e basic stuffs i noe.

using e viet photos as examples, to brighten an otherwise dark and heavily shadowed photo...

go to Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight. Shadow would be to brighten shadows in the photo.

n this is wat u get after brightening e shadows:

damnnn cool huh.

.

this too, has shadows brightened:

.

hehe this is one of my fav part of e trip, love e sampan boat ride!

for e Highlight function, i mainly use it on photos which are overexposed:

me n lijun's faces are almost white-faced lorz, e viet sun is too bright lol.

juz slightly better. usually im curb my zeal on using the Highlight function cuz i'll look too artifically dark n chao-da if im too zealous on Highlight.

Brightness/Contrast is also another common yet useful tool in Photoshop, it makes similarly whitewash-ed photo (due to overly bright sun, again)

returned to its original vibrant colours. veri slight diff cuz e background will be overly incandescent if Contrast is too high.

i learn frm xiaxue's video as well, about how to make my eyes more defined n also to create colour-contacts-looking eyes. original photo:

after:

i also whitened my teeth tho not v apparent due to e small surface area.

comparing before n after:

.

tink e photo look mad fake after. so nw u can gauge hw xiaxue mite look like w/o photoshop! lol. forgot how exactly i did it, but u can learn frm her video.

.

note: photo quality can be better if u save it at a higher resolution. i didnt to speed up e uploading process.

hehe im so grateful to sissy for helping me install photoshop a zillion yrs ago (he prob cant even rem installing it for me)! thankew, u helped nurture e latent talent in me!~ wahahaha~

guess wats so special abt this photo???

all hail qian e photoshop pro!! MUAHAHAHAHA~
