cheapskate la you!

how do you define a cheapskate?

1) pergi outing takpakai perfume, 1st thing, singgah kat kedai perfume terai2 buat2 nak beli tapi sudahnye tak beli pun dan cukup untuk jadi wangi satu hari.

2) stay kat hotel mesti nak kutip segala tiny bottles dalam bilik air n kalau lebih dari sehari stay, pow jugak so that nt dpt new tiny little bottles lagi. drinks tu sume jgn lupe, gula pelbagai jenama tu especially. oh. laundry bags juge!

3) kalau makan ramai ramai mesti duit jadi terlalu besar atau terlalu kecik n topap2 keatas proses pembayaran dengan dialog 'eh aku ade hundred ngan lapan ringgit je?' then hulurkan lapan ringgit tersebut walaupun meal kite sorang ialah namblas ringgit. tige posen.

4) masuk utan bwk minimum requirement seperti berus gigi ngan shower cream saje. dah plan ubatgg ngan syampoo nak pow junior. pow secara berjemaah pulak tu. kite makan same tido same mandi pun same same ape nak bekire lagi dik~

5) kalau dah suke satu baju tu, pakai yang tu je manjang, tak sempat simpan, asal basuh kering je terus pakai lagi. dah sizen sangat kaler pun dah washed out tapi stil tamo letgo. feveret la konon. orang lain feveret kalu, mesti beli lebih lagi!

6) kalau ade promotion terai2 makanan ni mesti nak. takcukup sekali, dua kali, ahh kenyangg~~ sedap taksedap sejak bile pernah berkire sangat. janji free, boleh?

7) bile pegi kedai for haircut, request supaya kasik pendek dr desired length agak2 dua minggu baru dpt the desired hairstyle n dapat sep duet dr nak pegi trim lagi to keep it at the right length. ade leh celen ke perangai cheapskate cani skali?

a ringgit saved is a ringgit earned.

sroot~~ cough cough~~

menurut pengalaman kite mkn ubat taun lepas,
lunch nasik (shj aku berbuka) - mkn ubat - peluh peluh - bole buat keje skolah n so on - rase siihat yg last about  3-4 jam - then sejuk balik - masuk lam comforter balik, hibernate - then kol nam cam tu dinner drelivered - mkn ubat lg ngan cycle yg sama repeating

so skang if laju2 g bli n mkn ubat, then mandi, then bergegas nek tren ape sume, sempatke smpai umah within the given time frame?

eh jap. makan plak belom. 

see. mkn ubat ni x lojik kan?

sedih uh demam sorg2 kat umah sewa T_T

new: guest book.

so i da tambah feature baru kat page ni.

it goes by this simple rule;

sesape yg shout dekat shoutbox kar seblah ni, ada tendency untuk i linkkan secara manual (ikut mood rajen tu bape kerap die datang baru i updet) dalam kategori Guest Book.
i kira, ini adalah satu bentuk apresiasi lawatan sambil belajar u all kepada blog i ni. terima kasih.

walaupun link anda bermotifkan jelas kewangan, politik atau keagamaan, atau masih ragu ragu dalam mencari arah tuju blog macam blog i jugak, i xkisah. kalaupun i tanak bukak, mane tau ade insan lain seronok nak anjurkan lawatan sambil belajar ke blog blog u all pulak. i suka gak sukan bloghoping setempat ni >_<

kaedah ini i percaya berkuat kuasa setakat 2 page shoutbox ni yg lates latest aje. walaupun u all still leh klik direct dr shoutbox berkenaan, i saje nak prepare mane tau tetibe i datang perangai nak spam shoutbox sendiri, daah terkeluar carta shouts u all, dahhh ilang pulak link aritu, kan~

so jangan malu jangan segan, kalau u rasa u ada link yang senonoh untuk i pamerkan disini, mohle drop link2..
eh lupe, kalau drop comment pun ade link gak kan? haa.. nanti kalau rajin i linkkan yang tu skali. kalau ada yg xsenonoh tu, kalau perasan i sengaja la takletak. jangan pulak u all sengaja sengaja aje letak, takkan nak calarkan image anggun blog i ni kut!

ok tak idea i ni? i harap u all suke >_<

rise n shine!!

ok kali ni cite bes sket. sketla.. aku rase terhibur bila aku fikirkan 'i have to blog this, one fine day!' ok. tipu la pulak, bila masa hati aku berkata kata dalam bahasa english macam ni. not lately.

kehidupan pagi aku agak menenangkan sebab da bleh g keje lewat lewat skit dr orang lain. takpayah nak pusing pusing ruang tamu-dapur-bilik-ruang tamu tunggu osmet2 mandi (bilik air tu share 3 orang je padahal, tp aku x suke tunggu)

n aku dah x naek ktm lagi skang ni. route yg ideal untuk g keje adalah bas je. ktm adalah x reliable! frekuensi adalah every 30 mins (kalo shuttle ade 15 mins la, tu pun kalo ade. kalo tade, tade la. ETA pulak within 15 mins dah bleh sampai KL. tapi diam2 die bleh take up to sejam. walopun singgit je yg apparently murah dr bas, aku xske menunggu camtu kot.

ok ok. bas yg aku naiki ialah jenama metro. depan taman bawah flyover. bas ni die bukan lalu, tp die tunggu. die sync ngan earlier bas yang gerak dulu, so that by the time die sampai kat ayam golek tu, another bus tu dah ade kat situ n bleh switch bus yg akan save time so that tapayah pusing satu lembah pantai, n dalam ketidak-jeman tu, leh sampai CM in more or less 30 mins, 20 mins camtu.

then dr CM lak, jalaaan sampai dekat2 masjid jamek da, for the next bus. ada 3 jenama bas yg menuju ketempat kejadian. n x macam da bertaun2 aku nek bas lam kl pakai number as a guide, aku tanye je instead. labelling pun kadang kadang boleh ikot tapi nak senang tanya je terus.

aku xdela particular mane pasal jenama jenama ni. kasut ke, kain baju ke, gejet2 ke, asal serve the purpose, agak2 serasi ngan aku sket kire jadila. bas ni plak, aku suke kalo gaya pemanduan yang agak agresif. sebab rase cam cepat sket sampai. tido? semenjak kejadian lmbat masuk keje kat ttdi sebab terlajak ke OU tempohari, aku agak berhati2 nk tido lambas skarang.


selain tu, hiburan juga salah satu daya penarik.
rapid kl salunya pasang tv. aku xsuke music ads yg ade awek bola ke apetah tu. saket pale kot. kdg2 volume seeeeeelo gile. bese takde trus.
metro paling up dalam aspek ni. radio kalo x hot, sinar. ok la, not bad.
lagi satu jenama yg aku baru kenal, selangor. yg ni pasang radio india. bukan nak racist tapi aku kan memang xsuke dengar lagu yg aku xpaham n xleh sing along. time ade arwah fon dulu, dengar lagu sengsorang sendri je, so tadehal la.

yang paling aku suke, xramai orang. most of the time, aku leh duk bersimpuh atas seat. atau duduk gaya santai tepi pantai mengadap sunset~

ahad yg malas

pada malam ahad (ahad malam, or malam senin, menurut perkiraan yang lebih melayu) yg renyai renyai..

*kriing kriingg* (ekceli ringtone takdela mcm tu, just that aku xbother pun cane die ekceli bunyi. what matter most is die bunyi. name pun fon pinjam sebab arwah fon saye tatau katmane skang)

aku : (dalam sore serak2 bgn tido) elo assalamualaikum
pemanggil: waalaikummussalam, ade katmane?
aku: orang kat umah
pemanggil : kate nak balik sini arini?
aku: ouh emm memang aa.. tapi pagi tadi bgn lewat, mlm td orang balik umah lewat
...

jawapan tak berapa nak mithali langsung. dan aku berazam balik umah stret jumat malam pas blk keje nexwik. semoga azam saya menjadi sesuatu yg senonoh. sebab bape kali da nk blk sabtu pagi tu ialah phail!

disaat aku stat open page new entry ni, aku bukak rhytmbox dan dan2 lagu melancholy hugh grant mendahului playlist. dan kuketuk2 'previous' disisi kibod untuk back ke lagu yg same 2-3 kali. (oh ini mcm button aku rase die detect heat ketuk2.. sampai skang aku kagum ngan mnde ni. kihkih)

no-rush rule for distro upgrade

yeah. i've been living that for this time around. the latest ubuntu release is last April for 10.04 version (pretty obviously, 10 for 2010 and 04 for April). being new in this arena, i always found myself eagerly counting days for the new releases. butt. eh but! (thanks to despicable me. good watch. book ur tix now!) early stable release also got bugs! i used to have thoughts like only alphas and betas got bug. butt (not again.. anybody got the full movie download link already?) but, i got the whole system messed up during one upgrade i has to revert everything back to previous version.

now i'm here hopefully wiser and lot more cool-er. i only did my upgrade on june and it works just fine. yeay!! for the world~~!

actually i was thinking to have a full makeover of my lappy.. like spring cleaning or something whereby u know, put everything in order, partitions are neatly arranged, swap space is sufficiently set up, like u know.. girly box summore, mak mentua tengok boleh pleased teros, kihkih~

eh here's the tip! remember i once happy for easyLife for fedora? (psst, its here!)
now let us spread the happiness with a much alike (or is it much better? kihkih)
the step is like as easy as abc. once the install is finished, download the script and run and allow some time for the completion (very much depends on ur preferences and connection speed)
download here, now!

no key then get key

when i run this
sudo apt-get update
i got this
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6E871C4A881574DE
i google and it leads me to here
to fix this. run
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 6E871C4A881574DE
and this
gpg --export --armor 6E871C4A881574DE | sudo apt-key add -
then try again
sudo apt-get update

ayem so lazy these days, this error been encountered for like few days already.
happy luciding everyone!

last day as an unemployed happy lady

1) and that's about it.
2) i am going to start work tomorrow..
3) office hour is 10am-6pm
4) i'll travel by train n bus or bus n bus but i'd plan to make myself walk more for the love of my heart. i am pretty much of a heavy secondhand smoker
5) location is in kepong. but i'll stay at my current place as going nomad too frequently is not convenience.  as much as i kept my stuff at minimal volume, they happens to expand themself quite significantly. thanks to those free shirts n stuff. wakaka~
6) i'll have a five working days per week and on some weekends i have to be put on standby with the offdays in weekdays  so yeah sounds fun that way
7) as always, this later part of the year, i am looking forward for endau rompin or any other environmental education job.
8) kensel no 7 above. it doesnt seems to be in place.
7) replacing the above 7. its not a civil engineering related job. at all. pretty random of myself, as always. you know what they say? the nawaitu of study just for getting a job is not right. but of course, this past five years i have developed deep love in this field, i just wanted to have fun while im still young to do as many things as i wanted, insyaAllah i'll have my own learning curve and i will put my best at any decision i made. regretting is always just another option.

so say hi to a brand new eena here :)
may the force be with me oo yeah~~!

photo :: urbanscapes 2010

held in KLPAC in sentul on 26th of June 2010

i went there in the evening because i had another meet up in UM earlier.
Akay and Teng were volunteering for the event thus they had the free concert tix! while the rest of us, kak syikin, farah, pian, adam, nikamir and myself just having goodtime outside the area. rm40 for just few hours is ridiculous! haha
first we got in, wander around the market area , got some usual art stuff..

and we had two whole ayam golek fivestar fresh from pantai dalam! ahaha epic! with free (redeemable) soft drinks summore.
(also ciggy, but not many of us smoke, lol, this fact makes Teng very happy)
after that, we went upstairs to watch the most awaited movie of the decade : muallaf!  by late Yasmin Ahmad
it was actually a medium sized room with the projection on the wall as the screen and free scattered seating on the floor
duhh i got blocked by the people in front of me (i blocked others at the back too~) would be nice if they had cushion or pillows!

the rest of the story, i get my camera out of my bag.. so let the picture speaks for us and the event itself

friends in action



the fireball shot

see! it really is a fireball

they must be trained very well to be at this state

one shot~!

double shot~~!!



got enough story?
actually our day did not just ended here.. continue reading on http://penjelajahjujur.blogspot.com/2010/06/sos.html

hope u enjoy my work!

photo retouch :: potraiture


potrait retouching method

cara saya adalah seperti berikut

1) select muka area, kalau perlu, tangan skali atau apa saja kulit terdedah.. selection tools kegemaran saya ialah masking je,
2) unselect details seperti mata, kening, hidung, mulut, garis garis tangan (kalau kedut2 nak reduce tapayah unselect)
(magazine melayu biasanya agak tergopoh gapah dalam hal ini, saya selalu menjumpai kening licin.. tanpa bulu)
3) feather kan selection, supaya border antara selected dan unselected area adalah kurang jelas.
4) masa untuk gebu! guna kan selective gaussian blur sesedap rasa. jangan terlampau gebu sehingga nampak artifak. try n error supaya jadi just nice
5) colour adjustment pun sesuai juga pada masa sekarang. focus kepada hue-saturation.. semakin putih, semakin gembira perempuan didalam gamba!
6) kesan kesan spot yang obvious dipadam menggunakan clone tool

agak agak keadaan kulit dah sedap mate memandang, teruskan kepada yang seterusnya, gigi!

7) dan mata putih! langkah pertama,unselect all terlebih dahulu.
8) buat selection baharu menggunakan tool yang lebih precise seperti lasso. select gigi (sahaja! bukan gusi atau bibir) dan mata putih (sahaja! bukan bulu mata atau hitam mata)
9) menggunakan hue-saturation konsep sekali lagi. reducekan saturation sehingga putih bersinar!


tips.. always work on duplicated layer. kalau terlampau, boleh reduce opacity aje, nak undo ke nak double lagi ke lebih senang
