Good morning Upstate NewYorkers and Singaporeans!

We all know the early bird catches the worm, but does that mean the late worm misses the bird? Well, all we know is our ladies C & S were late again for their recent trip to Becker Farms for their Haunted Hayride! Lucky for our ladies, the people were friendly enough not to turn them away.

We hear our ladies had fun, S overcoming her fear of haunted rides and C having a ball of a time! They were joined by other friends from Singapore and had a blast!



For more pictures of the ladies, check out C's facebook album!

"Cherlynn is upset and needs to vent."

What a waste of my time and effort. I seriously don't even want to fight for anything now. There are two sides to every story and there was the false hope, the false fear.. Do you see the 2 sides?

I'm being deliberately cryptic. Not many people know what I'm talking about at all.. Only maybe val, steph, and some of the people here. It's so irritating. Yet again, there're 2 sides to every story so I'm feeling so confused right now.

But I know that there is definitely a feeling of depression and despondence. Which kinda helps me understand how I really feel about everything, and helps put things in perspective.

Some things are really untimely. So so so so annoying!! sigh. #$%^&*()(*&^%$%^&*!




I can only end with this: "Opportunity doesn't knock twice"


In short, I think I'm really pissed.


Don't understand? Never mind. Not intended for most people to understand anw.

Spotted at Letchworth State Park, our ladies C and S with 2 new friends enjoying the sights and sounds of Fall. Sources say the ladies shivered in the cold until they met their new friends who joined them and helped them along the hike, taking hundreds of pictures on the way.

We hear LSP is the Grand Canyon of the East. Did our ladies have fun? From the looks of it, they sure did!

More colorful, yay! But looks fake eh.. Hmm


Haha. Will tell how to do.. MAYBE.=D

Will blog again soon =) IF i see more tags. What's the use of blogging if no one reads right? Hmph.

another photoshop effort
Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Like this photo? More to come below! Heh.

as the title says, here's another photoshop effort of mine heh. Now, you may be wondering, why so many attempts on Photoshop? Well, I like to keep my career options open, though I think i'm really looking into deejaying as my line of work, I'd like to contribute more too and these things on Photoshop that I post are good additions to my portfolio of stuff (i used to do blends, which I think are nice too heh). Also, the more I do, the better I get at it (more or less) and the more techniques I learn! Ooh and also coz sometimes I'm bored haha.

Joce asked me, "Why use yourself as the subject?" I do realize it's odd but firstly, it's difficult to find celebrities to edit the features of because they're generally quite perfect, or well-photographed or photoshopped already so no use. Then if I use other people or my friends, it's just weird! I tried it before and really, not easy. For their pics I only do color editing max. Coz you don't usually see the flaws in your friends and even if you did and had the choice to change everything on their face, you won't know where to stop or where to begin, coz you don't know to what extent will be 'good'. So I work on myself, because I know where I'm lacking and what extent I want to change my features coz I still wanna look like myself, just cleaner and more polished. Heh.

So anyways, here's my newest attempt, and this time, I made sure to save them step by step so you can see the small minute differences heh. But first, the completed work, the original and the side-by-side comparison! =D






Yea it's actually a very weird final product, especially the eyes la. Couldn't get a good eyelash brush that was nice and fit =( Ok here's the step by step for those of you who wanted it:

So from the original pic above, I liquified the eyes and the face shape and got the below image:


Then I smoothed out the skin. There are a number of ways to do this, manually or by using filters so really depends on what you wanna do. For this one I used a median filter and got the image below..


Yup. Heh. Ok next up were the eyes. Just added eyelash brushes lo. Not very nice though.. Ignore la k heh.


Uh huh.. Yup then after that I edited the teeth! This one I do manually one lo.


Hahas. A bit fake and white hor. Coz I forgot to adjust the opacity sian heh. I will come back to the teeth later so yea. Next, I added some blusher:


On one cheek only lol! I couldn't get the right color for the other cheek sian. Haha. Actually can la but lazy. Hee. Anyways, then lipstick..


Yup yup.. Then I edited the hair color haha but it's a bit sloppy lol.


Next I went back to touchup the teeth using liquify...


It all looks like not much diff right haha. Anyways then after that I gave myself cheek lifts with liquify again!


Yup... Then after that I edited the colors to get:

And there you go! Heh. Not my best work so far though. I don't really think very well of this job heh.

Anyways, hope all those who were wondering how I do this are satisfied with this semi-tutorial thing! I still feel the thing i'm best at is editing color of the picture in general. Hmm what do you all think? Haha.


On a similar topic, I'm sure people have noticed www.yearbookyourself.com and the awesome stuff that came out of it... I tried it out myself and had lots of fun! Here are some samples lol:






I love the short tight curls!!!



LOL I love this afro on me!

I look like my mom in this one (above)!!! In her younger days!




LOL. A whole lot of fun. Go ahead and amuse yourselves! It's really fun. There's a section for guys too so I might go try it later hahahahaha. Wheeee. Once again, the webby is www.yearbookyourself.com so go have fun!


Ok, GossGirl styled blog entries coming up. Event-blog will all be carried out in GossGirl style k! Heh.

loveciao!

(i love this pic of my eye)

lol yea i'm making an effort to blog more often ok!

So anyways, I've had an idea that from now on my posts are gonna be in GossipGirl style.. Like the one below.. Heh so not so many lengthy entries to come yea. Okay so back to blogging. The day before yesterday, after I did the pic wit steph, I did another pic:

Original pic, Tomoka (my roomie) and I on our way to SubZero

After liquifying (like not much diff, hmm dunno if it's the right image heh)

Final edits! Edited eyes, teeth, added some blusher and edited overall color =)

And here's the side by side comparison

LOL. Yea. Don't ask me how I do it. I might not tell. Heh.

-------------

Anyways so yesterday was a great day. We went to Allentown for a walking tour! Steph and I were late, so we had to go to the Allentown metro station ourselves (together wit steph chai, angela, jielong and jayden after running into them on the bus).. We caught up with the group though, and had lots of fun!

Gorgeous buildings...

Gorgeous trees (as Fall arrives..)


Tree? Building? Gorgeous anyway.


Lovely weather and scenery (and clothes =D)

And lovely friends =D

In short, Allentown was everything you'd imagine of a beautiful little town steeped in historical significance, architectural marvels and lovely people all around. I really do wanna live here when i can! SIGHS.

After Allentown, Steph and I went for the Bulls Football Game! But before that, we stopped at the Student Union where I grabbed some quick materials from the Graduate Studies Fair.. We then met up with Anita and went to the stadium for the game.. UB vs WMU (Western Michigan University) It was a great time, at first we sat at the wrong side, but didn't get sun at least.. Then we swopped sides and kenna-ed sun, which caused us all to feel really tired, and Anita gave up and went back to the dorm to rest.. Bulls were leading 21-6 for a long time, until like the last quarter, when WMU caught up and the score was bulls 28 wmu 20.. Then last 3 minutes they touched down, scored 8 points! Then extra time, they won!! =((( Damn sian.

Exhilarating experience all in all... I had fun and Steph and I really loved looking out for my lao3 gong1 haha. Well actually one of my classmates did really well in this game so first I was like, hey that's someone I know (coz they will mention the names each time something happens), then the next time they mentioned his name I was like hey, that's my classmate, then the next time I was like hey, that's my friend.. So it kept 'upgrading' lol. So we were like, sooner or later become boyfriend, then hubby hahaha. Anyways, here's that friend who was in the game and did really well: Domonic Cook. Another classmate of mine who was in the game: Josh Copeland. Also, the star quarterback, Drew Willy, is also a classmate of ours in our PR class! Super cool!! They really treat their sports here really seriously.. The sports people here are like celebrities in school kind of. Heh. So fun.

Walking there from the Student Union... South Lake is really pretty!!!

The awesome stadium!

Cheerleaders=)

Band - Thunder of the Wind

Video screen!!=D We loved the 'kisscam' thingy...

Night falls and lights blaze..

We got down to ground level - closer to the action!

Yup!! Then after that we went back to dorm and I don't think anything too bad happened ba. Heh. This morn was cool, i got up early to skype my extended family... My cousins took a cyber tour with me via webcam of the whole building hehe. So fun =) Then we went for the "Boys can cook... and Girls can eat" brunch organized by our RA Ali.. And I sat in my room doing homework since that. It was fun =)


Days are fun here people. Heh. For more pictures, go to facebook albums ok.. Many many pics there. Here're the links!
