Sunday Afternoon in Photoscape

Posted on by mesyel

it was at about 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon that i decided to stripwash all my cds – well, except for the fitted ones coz i’m not using them anymore.

and why?

because cd mommas worst nightmares had happen to me! yesterday night, i noticed xavier’s bum had a very nasty rash. it was so terrible, i almost cried when i saw them. had to switch to disposable for the moment. this afternoon, rather than chasing xavier around, i decided that it is a very good time for me to do stripwashing. i end up washing all 20 of them (5 AIOs, 2 fleece pockets and the rest pockets) coz i don’t know which one caused the rash. i’ve never done it before, and i’m not really sure whether it is advisable to stripwash that many cds at one time. cd mommas out there, do let me know if this is a big no-no, ok?

right now, i am also experimenting on Photoscape 3.1 which i downloaded for free a few weeks ago. i never really had the chance to play around with until today and i find it very interesting. Photoscape is a simple photo editing software that enables you to fix and enhance photos. here are some of the pics i edited using Photoscape.

stripwashing

stripwashing 20 cds. come to think of it, i realized that i’ve never handwashed anything for the last six or seven yrs. no wonder my hands and back felt so stiff right now. and some of you might cringe to the idea of brushing your cds… well, i don’t think a soft-bristled toothbrush would do any harm here.

and after all the cds have been handwashed, dump all into the washing machine without any detergent, just plain water to properly rinse the remaining soap on the cds – again, i’m not sure whether this is recommended. while waiting, i took a few shot of my 2 "churen".

The Dark Knight

Posted on by mesyel

went to watch Batman : The Dark Knight last Saturday at 1Borneo. bless the ppl who invented the internet, we can now purchase tickets online and avoid the hassle of having to queue for it.

personally, i think it’s a great movie, not because of Batman but because of the villain, Joker! Heath Ledger played the role so perfect that i couldn’t help feeling all sad over his untimely demise. He could have been a very successful and wonderful actor. He was one of the promising young actors listed in the Next Hollywood A-lister List.

The Joker is so insane, crazy, so evil, a sick psycho freak that kills people just for the fun of it. he doesn’t even care about the money and he’s on his own. he pays ppl to help, but later on he’ll kill all those ppl too. Joker’s craziness has kept me at the edge of my seat during the entire movie! i haven’t even had the chance to relax. just when i was about to sigh for relief, there he goes again, striking another chaos. you should really go and see the movie.

This is my card. Call Me.

i am actually looking for the pic of Joker in a nurse outfit, the one where he’s walking away from the hospital but couldn’t find any. will post it here when i found one.

on a different note, no offense, but i found a statement that says "Maggie Gyllenhaal did a horrible job in filling Katie’s shoes". and for some "unclear" reason, i totally agree with it. i don’t know whether it’s because she looks too old to be Rachel Dawes, or because she was trying too hard to be Katie Holmes’ Rachel Dawes, or because there seems to be no chemistry (at all) between her and Christian Bale, or because Katie played the part better than Maggie, i don’t know…
