Happy Birthday POPS!




Today’s my dad’s birthday! Guess how old he is?


I ain’t gonna tell.



I finished my last paper today. It was World History, two papers. Yesterday was English, 4 papers. I’m exceedingly delighted that it’s finally over. I have two weeks of holiday now!!!


I have no words to describe how happy I am!


I am blasted-ly blissful!

I’m ecstatic!


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I have a huge list of things I want to do during these two weeks.
Guess what one of it is?


Getting my braces off!


I can then finally smile without having second thoughts.

My teeth will gleam once again (I’m not sure if it ever did though)
-_-“


I’m at school, but I’ve got nothing do to.....


School starts back on the 17th of August.

Final Assignment for Digital Photography and Graphics

Weird Flower & Building – The effect that I intended for these two projects was to make it look like a drawing but realistic at the same time. I used a bolder brush to make it look like it had an outline and then I used a smaller brush to fill in the details. I also used a brush with a low opacity and a darker colour to create an effect of texture. I chose these two projects because I wanted to show an example of drawing cartoons with GIMP (the photo editing program).

- Brightened and sharpened the picture
- Create new transparent layer
- Outline with thick brush
- Drew details with smaller brush
- Deleted first layer
- Colour the objects
- Gave special effect by using Sand Dunes brush

~Weird Flower~
~Building~

Eclipse – This particular project was pretty simple to make because all I had to do was edit the picture by making it darker and sharpening it. After that, what I had to do was use GIMP Filter named Cartoon, This filter made the picture look like it was a cartoon. I wanted to post this picture up because it really made my dog Eclipse look like a cartoon.

- Darkened and sharpened the picture
- Cropped picture
- Used Cartoon filter for cartoon effect
~Eclipse~


Meyshna & Me – This picture was also easy to edit. I edited both pictures to how I wanted it, then I added the picture of the sky to the first picture as a new layer after that, I lowered the capacity of the sky to make sure the first picture could also be seen. I used this picture up because I wanted to show our friendship is as beautiful as the sky.

- Edited both pictures, brightened and sharpened
- Added sky as new layer to first picture
- Lowered sky capacity
~Meyshna & Me~


Hot and Fade – These two projects were supposed to convey their meaning of their words. Hot was made to look hot and Fade was made to look as if the word was fading away. For fade, I gave the background a sky to make it look more interesting.

- Made words of different layers with different colours
- Added pictures together
- Lowered opacity and moved it a little to make it look like it was moving
~Hot~
~Fade~

Girly – I put this picture of because I really liked it and because it really does look girly. I tried many different filters for this font and this is what I liked the most. I also added the background in to make it look even more girly.
- 2 layers
- Background, paint brush, dots
- Gave more contrast to the words
- Added soft glow

~Girly~

Apple – This project was fun to make because I got to experiment with different filters for example, Van Gogh, Cubism and Weave. I put it up because it’s a really interesting picture.

- Each apple had a different layer arranged in different places
- Gave each layer different filters

~Apple~


Boxes – I liked this picture because I got to experiment with different brushes. I really liked the square brush because when I drew the box, it gave it a 3D look with was really nice. I also used different colour to make it look more interesting.

- Coloured background and gave it texture
- Used different colours for the square and drew boxes out of it.

~Boxes~

Abstract Art – This one is my favourite. I love abstract art and this assignment let me make my own design. And I love the colour combination. I used red, bright green, light blue, white and black for my abstract art. I choose this colour because it would go well together; the other reason is because I wanted it to look bright and cheerful but not too bright. To tone down the brightness, I added the black and red to add some balance to the bright green and blue. I used the Ellipse Select Tool, the Rectangle Select Tool and the Free Select Tool to form the patterns.

- White background
- Used Ellipse Select Tool and Rectangle Select Tool, and Free Select Tool to form the patterns
- Filled it with colour

The world is full of sadness

A cat in my backyard cat died. It died yesterday. It was horrible. I'm going to skip the details....


You know that saying, “You don’t know what you got till it’s gone?” That’s how I feel for MJ. I know I’ve always been a fan and supported him all the way but, there are some people out there who thought that he had ACTUALLY molested those little boys. I bet they fill guilty now. He has touched so many people’s hearts, so why on earth would he go and molest children? It doesn’t make any sense. There was a gathering at OU on Sunday for MJ. I heard people cried and there was a banner for them to sign and send to MJ’s place. It’s amazing. I should have been there.
He left without saying goodbye. They showed the video of his rehearsal for his tour. He looked so good. I was so excited when I heard that he was going to perform again. My mom and I plan to buy his CD, to help him pay back the money he owes people. I’m sure they’re going to release new copies of his albums. I can’t believe he’s gone. Why couldn’t it have been someone else?


He was like a gift from God.


We’ll miss you.


Michael Jackson’s memorial was yesterday. It was so sad. Why’d he have to go?


Rupert Grint, 20, well known for acting as Ronald Weasley in the Harry Potter movies has been hit by the swine flu while filming in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But, he has now recovered! YAY HIM!


My mother was stopped by a policeman today, when she asked, “yer, apa encik?” he replied “nak tengok licence je, tak nak kamu tingalkan baju atau apa lah cik.” If I were my mom, I would have been like, “EXCUSE ME??” I swear I would have smacked him. What kind of policeman has no respect for women? ARGH!


Hitz.fm was giving out free Harry Potter and the Half Blood prince movie premier tickets just now. I had just come back from EYAA and when I heard it, I quickly shouted to mom and Ron, “ Hitz.fm road cruises said they are in Bandar Sri Damansara at the Shell station, let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!! GO! I screamed while running down the stairs. I was so excited! The bad point is that Bandar Sri Damansara had 4 Shell stations! We went to all of them and they weren’t there! No, we didn’t get the PREVIEW PASSES! *sniff*

So sad.


Sad, sad, day.
