Nikon D3000

I bought a Nikon D3000 a week ago.... cost $988 and bought it from courts.... yes is an impulse buy... I actually wanted to wait for another 2 or 3 months... until i have saved the FULL amount.... really.. i was really going to wait...

until that night...

We (Lim and me) went to courts for a walk... you know.. looking at cooking .... stuff... then made a detour to the camera section... and it caught my eye... "0% installment plan..."

Why should i wait for another 2 or 3 months when i have have it now?! And is not like i can't pay $82.33333333333333 per month.... you know... why not?

i know... there are interest and stuff... the whole "0%" thing is a bullshit as it is already counted inside the price.... but is like why should i be broke after getting the camera? right? I am spending 82 dollars per month for a year and not 988 for that month.... ... ain't that bad.... see, after getting the camera, I still have enough money to go diving genting or save a few hundred and get a dry cabinet or some extra lens...

..... heck... give me that camera! I am buying it TODAY.... They threw in a tripod, camera bag, 8GB SD card, a lens cleaning kit and plus a huge kick ass umbrella....

I'm a happy girl.... hoo!

Took a few test shots, and spend 2 days reading the manual...

Then I got shots like these...

yup... you must be wandering why i have my signature at the lower right hand corner of each photo... I am planning to sell them at shutterstock.com..... it is about 0.25USD PER DOWNLOAD...

so if I get 1000 downloads i get 250USD.... not bad right?

and maybe sell them in my website in the near future...

I mean, you never know right...

yup... still working on it... above is a small screen shot of what the index, aka homepage, will look like...

Of course, my pictures are not that great... still a noob....and this is a really good platform to help me improve... and who knows, I might be able to get my first 250USD from shutterstock 6 months later.. (I'm being optimistic here... ) :)

and is better to take pictures with a purpose you know... and not just take and keep them in your hard disk for the next 2 to 3 years... is like a motivational force... coxing me to take more interesting photos... 

Life goal

I add one more life goal... I wanna travel and see the world...

Enter museer du louvre in Paris...
Sistine chapel
Angel falls
Maldives
Grand canyon
Uluru in Australia
Angkor temple in Cambodia
Taj mahal

Lim don't like the beach sea and fish

I always thought my boyfriend likes the sea... How I know??

He says he chooses maritime because it is related to the sea...

He spends at lest 15 to 30 mins looking at fish and corals... And even tell me the names of the fish....

One of his favourite pass time is fishing...

He LOVES to eat fish...

He can name most of the fish and ships he sees

So I thought... Why not let's go diving on his birthday... And I will sponsor his trip... And guess what he says...

"huh...don't want la... I want to try the free one before I decide"

Nice....

If he propose to me I am going to ask him for a free trial before i decide... Further more this is marriage... Not just a simple diving lesson....

"no offence"

I don't get people who says "no offence"... is like they are going to offend people, and they know they are going to offend people just that they are doing it polietly... and hopping that the comment they make is not that offending...

if some one says to me
"eh... your top today very ugly leh..."

I will wanna slap that person...

but if that some one says
"eh.. no offence... but your top today very ugly leh..."

I still wanna slap the person... and slap him ten times harder then the first person... why? because he knows that by saying that sentence, it will offend me... and he tells me that he knows that it is offending by saying "hey... no offence"

Seriously... by saying "no offence" does not make that particular comment any less offending...

.... no offence.... but these people really need to grow some brains...

The making of shisquare.com

I am lost... I have so manythings I want but I am not m very sure how to do this....




Right now is just pencil/pen sketches and researching on the codes and see r these thing possible.. These r the things I want...

a search bar on the website
Rss feed for each catagory
Bookmarks using share button
A flash table like jk rowling's site
Showing the latest post for each catagory..
Showing all that particular catagory on a unique page
Google ad
Naffnang ad
Facebook link
Twitter live updates on site
Shopping cart for lifestyle page (I'm selling my clothes and other stuff)

The best thing is.. I have no bloody idea how the word press works and how I wanna intergrate everything into shisquare.com

I am pushing boundris.. Learning new things.. Stepping out of my comfort zone.. Roar!!!!

shisquare.com

I am moving....

to

http://www.shisquare.blogspot.com/

I gave myself a dateline.... i will launch shisquare.com on May 25.... on my 5 years anniversary with lim... I believe is a pretty lineant dateline...

not only this will serve as a blog, but also design portfolio. so my post will be catagorised into different catgory.... like personal, design, work, tutorials and stuff...

yes tutorials... I will be giving free photoshop, illustrator, php, css, html, flash lessons... but it will be at random... which means if I learn something today... so will you... :)

I suddenly have a burst of ideas....

first portfolio and then my blog... then i am thinking of planning photoshop lessons... having a proper modules and lesson plan where people can download and view the lesson plan... and proly maybe can tick and choose what lessons they will want and thus custom make their lessons.... etc etc... then also prepare notes for them as well.. and have proper teaching setting...

not only that... I am thinking of having a shopping cart as well.. selling away my clothes and other stuff... like un opened make up and hair dye.... and further more, I have some idea on how to use php to create the shopping cart.... hur hur....

BIG MONEY BIG MONEY!!!!
