The Legend of Iggy Queen

Once upon a time.... there was a princess called Angel-Puppee from Angel-Land...

Back in Angel-Land, Angel Puppee didn't eat, instead only fed with love ! She only knew how to love and brought happiness to everyone she met.

One day, she bumped into a pretty, sophisticated, educated lady named Dr.Ele.

Angel was confused, why is this lady looking so sad?

"Hai there beauty, what makes you look so sad in this bright shiny beautiful day?"

"Errr... whattt thee?"

"Be calm.... I'm here to sooth you... take away your sorrows"

"Eh... Helllo... I just failed my experiments just now ok... I was supposed to create a super human clone, but everything turned into ashes... Now if you just..." Dr.Ele sounded very pissed off.

"Miss... Look at me.... " giving the most sweetest smile... making Dr.Ele's heart melt and forgot all her sorrows and heartaches.

They became friends.

Angel taught Dr.Ele to enjoy life, for instance, how to camwhore. Dr.Ele was a quick learner. She could then just strike a pose without much effort. And most importantly, Dr.Ele LEARNED HOW TO SMILE.


One fine day, Dr.Ele said "I still want to proceed with my big experiment... It's gonna be my lifetime achievement.. and..."

"Shhhh... say no more.... I am here to help you.... I will assist you all along... as long as it will make you happy" Angel said, again with the sweetest smile no one can say no to.



While working on the lab.... One day, there were thunder and storms and raining heavily outside. Angel was scared of thunder and lightning. She was so terrified, she started screaming and running around the lab...

Accidentally, she knocked on the sulphate crystals (blue in color), and the crystals broke into pieces and fell into the cloning cube. Dr.Ele did not realise that, as she was chasing Angel to cool her down. The chaos ended after a while, and they continued their work.


The BIG DAY came!

Dr.Ele's clone came into life! But to their surprise, not quite like what they had in mind. It looked blue and some of the tissues were not well formed. Since Dr.Ele was so into camwhoring, that was the first thing they did after the clone came into life.

Dr.Ele did not give up. She tried to look for ways to perfect her invention. That's when they found JaneDiva, the best plastic surgeon in town.

Janediva was appalled....

"This.. I mean... this is beyond my expertise.... She is totally.... a wreck.. I mean.. errr"

"Ouh... I know you can do something to make this look better... ouh please...." Dr.Ele begged, and Angel was beside her, smiling the sweetest smile again.

"Ok... I'll try"...

and the process began...

"Her skin texture... there's something peculiar... it feels like... an iguana skin... Ermm.."

"I used Iguana's DNA to fill in the gaps" Dr.Ele whispered to Angel.

As a result...

The clon looked stunning. Despite the imperfection..... it looked stunning after given some make-up boost. Clon was named "IGGY QUEEN"

Janediva became close to them... as she would make a weekly visit to touch up Iggy.

After some time.... Iggy realised JaneDiva was always praising Angle for her beauty and charm. Iggy started to feel envious.

Even Dr.Ele was very close to Angel and seemed to be mesmerized everytime Angel smiled. Iggy never got any praises but only sympatetic look from them.

That brought out the darker side of IGGY.

To make it worse, she overheard Dr.Ele's converstion with one of her colleagues. Dr.Ele just found out about the sulphate crystals and she remembered the accident, and knew it was Angel who caused the error in her cloning. But, loving the friendship they had, she kept it as a secret from everyone.

Iggy started to have grudge and hatred towards Angel. Seeing the special treatments Angel got made Iggy's anger deepened. She finally atacked Angel....

In shock and horror....Angel still tried to give her sweetest smile and pose. But Iggy could not be bothered, her anger conquered and she then destroyed Angel.

Dr.Ele was devastated by the death of Angel, but did not know it was Iggy's doings. Dr.Ele never smiled again. Iggy tried to entertain her.... but no.. she never never smiled....

Iggy's anger came back again. She wanted more revenge... And Finally.... ended Dr.Ele's life as well.

IGgy had no friends.....

Therefore she travelled across the lands.... and found a perfect match... the REd Ochy... who happened to be a clon made from Ostrich DNA.

Together.... the fight peace and superheroes all over the world.

THE END.

IN THE MAKING:
It took around 2 hours + for my make up. Jane was on the perfection mode that day... Every time she drew the lines using liquid eye-liner, I held my breath... Inhale.... then... after the thin brush lifted... exhale...

1. All 3 of us (Shuh Jiuan @ Jane, Elena and I) fell in love with Ai Nam @Angel that day. She just looked soooo sweet as a bride. Jane and I tried proposing her... tapi kena rijek pulak. Uwaaa....
2. We all agreed that Iggy should audition for Cicakman 3... hahahha.. as the gufren role. Then guhfren turns bad and becomes the villain... haha
3. Being called Model a few times... i.e "Jane, ask your model to look here"... etc... sebenarnya dinda sungguh la tak model-esque hahahha...
4. Elena was our runner... thanks for the coffee... no wonder models are able to maintain slim... nak makan pun tak cukup masa... hihiihih... both Jane's models are Gila-Coffee and can kenyang with some coffee sips... so didn't crave for food.

At the end of the day, Shuh Jiuan received her Diploma in Professional Artistry, Fashion and Bridal Make-up from Stella-In... CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!

Was a great and crazy experience... Thanks BEBEH :D:D

I met Ratatouille

Appointed as an emcee again, this time in Bahasa. I was like… alamak!! I was indeed afraid as I have tendency of speaking extra speedy especially in Bahasa. Another issue was, most people who emcee in Bahasa use bahasa bunga-bunga, with melodious intonations, which I am not good at. I was informed, that particular event did not require all that, therefore thought it would be a good opportunity to improve my public speaking in Bahasa Baku.

For a first timer, was worried… cuak... hoping everything goes on well.

At the podium…while waiting for VIP’s arrival… That was the time I met Ratatouille

Fyi, it was a 5 star hotel… Suddenly I saw this tiny thing moving very aggressively and fast on the carpet. At first I thot… well.. must be my tired eyes.

Then later, there it goes again. Confirm! It’s a RAT… baby rat. It was having fun running around in front of the podium and towards the VIP table, which was still vacant at that time. Then it went running below the stage and in and out. Why was I the only one seeing this? How am I supposed to Emcee with a bebeh rat running around the podium area. What if it jumps on my feet while I was talking? Ohhh tidakk! Went to the hotel people, informed them. They looked shocked. Later some of them came to check it out… but all they did was, look whether there was a rat or not. Then, seeing none, they blah! Then I knew, I was all alone in this!

VIP arrived. Start emceeing. Dean’s speech, followed by V.C’s speech. While VC was giving speech, Ratatouille popped out again. I nearly choked. I looked at the audience. They were all hooked up, looking and listening at VC. The rat was running towards me… Ouh noo!!! But lucky me, rat-babe did not come too close. Gosh… help me stay poised. I tried to hide my scared, horrified face. A rat running around gleefully… and yet… no one else notice? After a while, Ratatouille ran to the other side of the ballroom and disappeared. Nasib baik, did not cause any drama. Hohoho... sorry, for the story has no climax :P

Maintained cool…and finished the job, then the dinner… wait… did my dear Ratatouille prepared these? *still a mystery*

Following day, event continued, while one of the Deans was giving speech, he mentioned, quote “I am distracted by this mouse running around in front of me….” Unquote.

Thank god… I was not hallucinating!

Smile with your eyes

as a wedding photographer... what matters most is capturing moments...

so it's kinda different from model/fashion photoshoots which I have no experience in.

I watch ANTM, and love the way they shoot... first.. their photo gadgets... then, the output where the photos always turn out superb... and most importantly, the models and how they model. I bet most of us who follow the series are familiar with Tyra Banks' favorite quote "Smile with your eyes" :D

So here's an Experiment on "smile with your eyes"

First One: not smiling with the eyes....

Second: SMiLin with the EyEs...


Make-up by Janediva :-P

Hahahha.... I have one week to prektis smiling with my eyes... :D:D:D

Pssst... I am powerful... I am noble... but it's a secret yaa... :P

Humility is a strange thing, Once you think you got it, You Lose it ~ anon

This was mentioned at the recent V.C’s yearly memorandum. Wow… how true, kan. Humility or to be humble is a tricky thing. The moment you congratulate yourself for being humble; you just lost it by contemplating over it.

I guess, technically, a humble person do not talk highly about their nobility or show it out with smug expressions. In some cases, people tend to blurt things out with no intention of showcasing their talents, nobility or achievements. So does that mean a humble person has to be super secretive or quiet all the time, not talking about past experiences? No, Not exactly. It goes back to the way we deliver our stories or share our passion over certain things/ issues.

Actually, I think most of us love to hear stories of people with great achievements, right? How they started and how they bloomed. From greatest achievers to some noble folks around us, Stories need to be told, examples need to be set, motivations need to be passed on. We need inspirations, don't we :D


Back to humility, we don’t have to try hard to show our humility.

Humility need not be proclaimed, it is self-defined; tied close with our personality, with every word we utter, every action we take. The way we treat people and the way we react to people. It comes alongside another value known as respect. To receive respect, first, we need to know how to give them to people.


Hihihi… I am not perfect. Writing this as a reminder to me, when ever I get lost in narcissism :P


Last year, in V.C’s memorandum, I was captivated by the idiom Resmi Padi: semakin berisi, semakin tunduk. It is a Malay idiom, derived from the nature of rice paddy plant. The more the grains grow, the lower the plant bows down. Hihihi... I hope I get this translation right :P (macam direct machine translation jek bunyinyor.. huhuhu)

Message/the Challenge: The more powerful you turn out to be, the more humble you become.


Can you? Can I? Can we?


It makes all the difference when your subconscious mind work in these 2 different ways

• “Ahoy… I’m doing this because I’m humble, dude…”
  vs
• “Ouh… it’s ok, dude… it’s nothing much, this is all I can do…”
  
  

So… can tell which one is humble which one is not aar?

opppppssie....my entry's title definitelty isn't!!! :P:P gimmick plak

its a plane... its a bird.... No.. its a tyrannosaurus

Last week... I had another craving... This time, the dinosaurs. Erkk... did u hear me rite? Yaaa... u did... Lazing around with astro, I happened to watch a documentary on mesazoic era... As a result, I was so dinosofied... I just... I just needed to watch /see more dinosaurs... Yaaa... I know... so geek rite!

I rammed over the Cd rack, but no Jurassic Park? I thot I had the Cds? hmm.. ayya... Then I tried looking for video streaming... but disappointed. Asked a fren who is famously known among us as taiko movie download... and he explained how to this and that.

selamat sejahtera

Usm kampus sejahtera :-D

Bb emme adalah daun, saya adalah bunga.... hohoho...

i heart usm :*

I'm a specky....

Huhu... I hate to wear spectacles. I love to look at people wearing them, but I don't like to put them on. I told myself I am not going to wear glasses, and if I really need to do so, I'd go for contact lenses.

Just like how I announced to people I would never use Nokia (because at that time, too many people using Nokia)... then I end up with Nokia... until now.. even when people start to opt for other mobile series.

This week... I end up making a pair of glasses for myself.

Out of confusion (from the machine test) it showed my power had gone high, and I ordered the glasses before the real test.

After the real test, the results came out like this.

Right Eye : farsightedness +25 astigmatism +50

Left Eye: farsightedness 0 astigmatism +25

Huh... Not so high kan... Do I need the glasses eh? Deep down inside, I wanted to walk out without my brand new glasses. But then, the reason I did the check-up was, I had problem reading from presentation slides and driving at night. Yes... astig! I wanted to get glasses to ease my eyes from straining so much. Vision... I can read words but sometimes they seem to be smudged. Even the lights seemed smudged when I drive at nite, need to squint my eyes.

Huhu.... contact lenses? No... I'm not ready for that... UWaaaa.... so have to wear glasses jugak!... waawaaa...

I hate to wear glasses coz I was never able to find a suitable frame for my face. I don't even own a sunglass for the same reason. Everytime I try to look for a suitable one, I end up disappointed. Too picky kot? Haha... so now... nak tak nak... kena pick one... Pilih punya pilih... I end up choosing this one, coz I think this frame with lighter color makes me look softer :P~ others make me look so garang... and ouh... it's PINK... haha...

opppss... ter-pose kontrol ayu pulakss..... bagi memastikan tak nampak garang gitu... huhu

Haha.. I plan to wear it only when I'm driving and attend classes/talks... and maybe sometimes when I use the computer.

Ouh... I know it's a petty issue... bit too dramatic... adoiiii.... But... uwaaaaa.... Me have to wear speck di... uwaauhuhu....

Thanx Acha (alisa) and Aca (aisyah) sbb teman, bg pendapat dan beri sokongan moral!! :D:P~ *and Zue BB, tenkiu (huhu mcm mana bleh termiss-out nie,) :* biks...

Cap Ayam

Things which are not listed as branded, exclusive or cool-stuff, are known as “cap-ayam”. I never had problem with cap-ayams as long as these cap-ayams serve as much as what I have paid for. In any purchase, the more you pay, higher expectations you have for an item.

I do not crave for branded-stuff. Sometimes I can be totally uneducated about these things. Example?
“Gurllsss… Miss Lola has a new coach bag… yaddaa yadaa”
Coach… whose coach? Sports bag ker tu? Like a bag where a coach usually wears in a sporting event ke?

When others are impressed about the brand, I would be imagining something else… but of course… the female gene in me would quickly get excited as well with the fact that something female-ish has been purchased, and it’s new… regardless of the brand!

I buy branded stuff when the amounts of money I pay still make sense to my budget. Branded not for the sake of popularity but quality… then yes, I would grab it!

I’m a simple shopper. If a product I bought happened to be some branded or exclusive stuff… there’s nothing to be showcased about. If that product happened to be some cap-ayam, there’s nothing to be hidden or ashamed off. Most of these cap-ayams are locally made...kiranya, menyokong barangan buatan tempatan laah kan...

I do not have anything against anyone buying things any way they like.

But It makes me wonder… when

• Some people make a big deal out of a purchase especially the brand... It's not like it's in everyone's priority list... :P they'll make some ppl confused about the whole big deal
• Some people feel so shy about what they put on when they think it’s assumed not to be chic, what worse… to some… their confidence level tend to be affected by that
• Some people look down on others who are not as 'branded' as they are
• Some people trying too hard to catch up with trends, or buy things off their budget. Some even berhutang or berikat perut… huhu… sayangilah perut anda.. makan mesti kenyang dulu yaa :P~

I go for cap ayams.. but I have problem with things like Adidas translated as Adidos / Abibas… or Chanel as Channel or Guess as Guest? Wearing them just makes me feel pirated. Hihihik…

But all in all,

People have different tastes. You can’t force someone who loves LV to buy some local brand, and you can’t force someone who loves selipar cap ayam to switch to Adidas.

What matters, we should be happy with what we have/wear/use. Not too happy until you need to brag about it… but just happy enough to make you feel comfortable and confident having them around.

p/S:
With the current uncertainties in economy, we have to remind ourselves to spend wisely. If you can afford certain things… just proceed. If you can’t, do restrict yourself… (Eee.. but some items are just irresistible)… tahan.. bertahanlahh saya…

Bye Bye not Forever

People come and go.

Quite a famous phrase, eh

Friends...

• If you are one friendly person, by the age 26, you would have a huge list of friends.
• If you are more reserved, you'd prefer having less friends, only to those you're comfortable with.
• If you are nice and good to your friends, they'll always remember you and make a point to keep in touch with you.
• If you are evil and cruel, they'll remember you for all the wrong reasons.

How did I make friends? I did not jump schools, attended the same school from Standard 1 to Form 5 (11 years dat is). I remember I used to be lil reserved in primary days... coz most my classmates speak english (though manglish... but it was far better than mine - pronouncing Sunday as soon-die), so I was a lil shy to approach other kids. But after years picking up manglish and learning Not to make language a barrier, I opened up... and started to have more and more friends. And also, there's a chatter-box code in my DNA therefore I can't stop from "attacking" people I have seen for a decade in the same school.

Then, there's matriculation, Uni and social activities...

To strangers or people I just got to know... I am a bit slow though. At times, it takes some time before I really warm up to people.

But I am approachable and do approach people when supposed to. So i guess i'm friendly... but not tooo friendly... just moderate :P :P~

Am I a friend who comes and go? in people's memory... or am I a friend who stays put in their memory forever or long enough?

People do say I keep in touch with a lot people. I get nicknamed as the Hub, Router and Network-Line (computerized even for a nick name :P~) Yes, I do keep in touch. However, it takes 2 to tango. At times, I lost contact when someone just went MIA, or maybe I went MIA as well?

Another way of keeping in touch, is by asking. For instance, you can ask Miss X who's actively in touch with Miss W about her. You can also ask Miss X, about Miss Q, who is actively in touch with Miss W... Sending regards / kirim salam is also a good way of staying in touch. SMS and calls are even better... or maybe a poke in facebook ;-)

There's lots of ways to keep in touch.

But... we too... need to be more "visible" and "alive" to be remembered. It's not fair to expect people to remember us when all we do is sit back and hope other people make the first initiative to call. Like mentioned... it takes 2 to tango ;-)

Wehhhhh.....

all i wanted to do was post some farewell gathering photos... and I end up crapping! duh.. so me!

OK......

THere have been some series of farewell... and series of farewell makan - makan. From Mas, to Ruby to Bullert. Here's a photo from Bullert's farewell.

Klik and Kebooooffff

Mari kita lakukan sedikit magis!

Gambar pertama:

Zam zam ala kazammmm..... keboooofffff !!!!!!!!!!

Adakah Jessie telah dibawakan khas dari Kalifonia menggunakan lampu ajaib?

how we wish eh?

Zaman sekarang lampu ajaib susah lagi untuk didapati di pasaran. Tidak mengapa, kita kan sudah ada stok tak berkesudahan magis - magis berbentuk digital. Magis kali ini dinamakan Adobe Photoshop. Versi ke berapa itu tidak menjadi isu utama.

Marilah kita sama-sama mencuba magis ini.

Pertama sekali... jika ada gambar yang ingin dimagiskan dengan kemunculan orang baru... harus mencari ruangan terbaik dan juga gambar ter-sesuai untuk dimasukkan. Sebagai contoh, gambar di atas tadi, dan juga gambar di bawah ini. Di mana kita boleh mengduplikasi Jessie dari sudut yang sama.

Oh ya... jangan lupa buka Adobe photoshop nyer dulu. Ok... marilah kita memulakan operasi pengklonan XYXX#$2331...

1. Buka Fail gambar yang nak di-sunting... gagaga... edit=sunting kan?
2. Buka Fail gambar yang mempunyai gambar yang ingin di"extract" @ di-ciluk.
3. Pergi kepada ToolBar.. dan cari Ikon (Clone Stamp Tool) ini:
   (dibulat merah)
4. Di atas pula akan keluar seperti ini, sejurus memilih ikon itu
   
   (Brush: 33) 33 itu adalah saiz berus untuk melakukan pemberusan. Parameter ini boleh diubah mengikut kesesuai imej. :D
   (Mode: Normal) Kalau opsyen lain, susah sikit mahu memberus
   (Opacity: 90-100%) Opacity akan memberi nilai ketelusan. Lebih rendah opacity, menjadi lebih telus @ "transparent". Jadi untuk pengklonan yang baik, pilihla opacity yang tinggi atau maksima.
5. Berbalik pada file gambar kita. Tekan pada papan kekunci Alt dan Klik pada titik fokus imej yang ingin diklonkan. Akan keluar tanda seperti dibawah dan sebaik kita melepaskan klik, ia akan menentukan titik tengah itu sebagai titik permulaan pengklonan.
   
6. Kita boleh mulakan pengklonan. Pergi kepada gambar yang ingin kita sunting, dan mula memberus pada kawasan yang ingin kita bawakan imej klon kita. Semasa kita memberus, seperti contoh di bawah, suatu penanda + akan bergerak secara selari dengan arah berus kita. Ia akan menunjukkan titik - titik (pixels) yang sama sedang diberus.
   
7. Memberus dengan teliti akan memberikan hasil yang lebih baik. sebaiknya gunakan saiz berus yang lebih kecil ;-) Yaaa.. dengan itu.... 7 langkah anda berjaya membawa sesorang ke dalam gambar anda dengan mudah sekali.

SELAMAT MECUBA!

p/s: jangan aplikasikannya untuk ke arah tujuan negatif yaa. Contoh aplikasi yang tidak membawa kesan negatif adalah gambar kumpulan foto. Pada ketika tiada jurukamera tambahan dan ketiadaan tripod yang baik. Kita boleh mengambil dua gambar sama dengan orang berbeza menjadi juru kamera. Boleh lakukan pengklonan kemudian. Contoh:

Can u tell who's been cloned? I was the first photographer and the second photographer took this photo. Later, I cloned her. I am so glad I need not use chemical substance / formula to perform Cloning :P~ gegeggee
