Some interesting sites...

Found a special blog as I facebooking recently. The blog owner promoted his blog in one of the fan page that I followed. I like his idea of doing this. (I think it’s he, not she, just my guts feel.) He draws pictures, or I would rather say the story board for the songs that he chose. He does attach the actual MTV from YouTube and then his art work with the lyrics. These pictures are very nicely put matching the lyrics. Check it out! 歌&漫, by Zinc. http://zinc-sketching.blogspot.com/ I tried to mimic his work using MS Paint. Hehehe… Probably this is a good hobby to do during free time, or busy but bored time. :) My sketch...

I am not sure since when I started listening to Coldplay. This name is cool, that’s my first impression. And their songs? Even better! I heard of Coldplay, but didn’t actually “make effort” to listen to their song. Until one day, Tanya Chua, a Singaporean singer is having “Yellow” in her album… Or maybe it’s because of “Viva La Vida”? I also get to know his other songs from YouTube. “The Scientist” and “Clocks” are some other songs that I love. I got their update in my Facebook wall, so I clicked to their page to check out if I missed out anything. There I saw one of the entry saying this, “If you don’t have it yet, you can still download Coldplay’s terrific free live album, LeftRightLeftRightLeft…”! I got my first free album from them. What about you? :) Like them on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/coldplay To download the free album : http://www.coldplay.com/lrlrl/lr.html

I was looking for movie making software. Somehow, I was unable to install Movie Maker 2011 in my laptop. I gave up, and search for other alternative. In one of the search result, and somehow, this website attracted me, Shape Collage. I saw my friends posted photos similar to this using Picasa, however, I really do feel Picasa is not so user friendly, thus I gave up using that apps. I do found this Shape Collage very easy to use, it automatically generate the pictures based on your selections and settings. You can even specify how the picture collages looked like! If you would like to edit the picture, you can save it in PSD format, and edit using Photoshop or GIMP. (If you would like to use freeware all the way, GIMP is your choice!) One thing that confused me while I am using Shape Collage is, the review button is to view the shape of the picture collages, not to view the end result. You’ll have to save the file first before you can check it out. And one great thing is, it sup...

I was looking for direction to go to Max Pavilion last year. Then I found this website, and find it quite useful. I tried to search for some places in Penang. Penang Island is so small, yet the website divided Penang Island into 2 sections, timur laut (Northeast) and barat daya (Southwest). What about Northwest and Southeast? I search for Young Hearts from Penang timur laut. No luck. Guess it’s not a significant spot in Penang. Later I tried Straits Quay, no luck as well. However, I do find Island Plaza there. Finally, I can think of another big spot, that is Queensbay Mall! It’s with the barat daya region. Why? Anyway, overall, if you are looking for big-named places (for Malaysia map), you can use this web site. I would prefer the selection to have by state, instead of all, or select a region in a state. http://my.streetdb.com/ (Would it be using Google map better? I am having 2nd thought, though I got this website from Google.  )

I am tired of all kind of write ups, I just want to blog. I was looking for 2010 movie list from GSC web site, somehow, I was unable to find any movie database there. So I googled for it and found this website. http://teaser-trailer.com/ It has not only the list of the movie in 2010, but also some details on the movie, for example movie trailers and soundtrack details. It also has the best movie list. I intend to go through the list to check out the movies that I wanted to watch. :D

I wanted to blog about this site for quite sometimes. It was introduced by my dear friend. She plans to go to Europe or US to further her study. My plan? I don’t have a firm plan. I used to dream of studying in Japan. Alright, I was just dreaming of staying in Japan for a year or two, have a taste of being study abroad, or stay abroad for some times. I am thinking of taking this more "seriously", so I start to look for scholarship. Probably just by doing some observations, not taking any action. I am not that daring to make changes in life, despite I have been changing job for 4 times within 10 years. Starting from the Seed Hunter, then this scholarship listing page, I recall the very first idol I have when I was very young, Madame Curie (居裡夫人). Thanks to 人文與環境 subject. I am not sure because she is a widow continue the research that she and her husband were working on, or was awarded Nobel Prize (I just recently realized that she got 2 of the Nobel Prizes, both from diffe...

I’d like to introduce a blog today. The blogger, 雅晴, is from Taiwan, and just released books on 100 kisses in Paris. I didn’t have a chance to read those books, but I admire her for dare to dream, and dare to work it out. Before the books were released, there are people who admire her, and of course there are people who criticize her. It became a place of argument in her blog whenever she has a new post. She closed down the comments for a short period. Recently, this blog mostly write about her activities, and also her dog, and some of her thought. She seldom talked about her boyfriend now. Today her blog is about some happenings that she’ll give a public talk. If you just happened to visit to Taiwan during that period, you may want to consider meeting her there. :) http://www.wretch.cc/blog/angelduck777 Oh yeah… I forgot to mention, she is a pianist! :)
