Learn something new every day

and learn it here!

I love this website to bits!

Do you know that high heels were originally meant for men? And that there is enough fats in the human body to be made into 7 bars of soap? And the King of Hearts is the only king who doesn’t have a moustache in your poker cards while Mona Lisa has no eyebrow? And the creators of Adidas and Puma are brothers??

Oh oh, and how about this: You can’t name a folder ‘Con’ in Microsoft Windows! What the!!!!

Learn new quirky facts everyday and what’s best – you can choose to have them printed on t-shirts. Hmm, I’d believe there will be a much higher appeal if this gets expanded to a whole range of products such as mugs, puzzles, greeting cards, canvas prints etc etc? yes no maybe?

Let’s all be inspired

Getting inspired is soooo energising I believe we ALL need in order to keep us sane in this world of rat race everywhere.

My heart palpates, mind goes racing, eyeballs almost pop out when inspirations kick in, and especially so if I find like-minded people whom I can exchange ideas and interact with.

Without motivations like this, my (already super uber duper ordinary) life will only fade into inexistence, and succumb into living like a walking zombie :(

Only a handful of people I know make me feel like this and I thank them for whatever insights I gain from chatting with them.

Thank you.

Sleeved Blankets

This is really useful in the freezing cold winters. Not like Singaporeans get that, but I miss the cold so much! Sweltering heat in Singapore is simply intolerable – maybe someone can create something  like a walking aircon capsule? So that when we go for lunches under the mid day sun, we can be enclosed in individual bubble-looking thingy and not run the risk of getting heat strokes. My oh my.

Rubikon – DIY Pinhole Camera

Hands on doing your own pinhole camera – Rubikon with just a piece of paper (98 x 70 x 68 mm)!

And at the same time, refresh the fundamental functional principles of photography as you get your hands dirty with the cutting and folding etc.

Love the sample picture. Reminds me of the one I took at Nice, Italy in 2008 with Ikimono 110 Camera. Am totally in love with the grainy, dreamy effect created.

GAP-IPad App is cool

Wow, the kind of interactive catalogue I would like to ideally have for themannequeen. Users can browse a lot of (branded) denim content, celebrities and designers videos as well as music. Also, consumers can probably purchase straight off from the app too. Cool eh.

I guess I can only dream on….

On a slightly different note, Gap has also developed a FB app called Lookbook which allows you to pick and match your outfit and then direct you to the Gap online store.

One disappointing aspect though – I would think it’d be better if the redirect actually points to the respective chosen apparels’ pages rather than the generic lookbook denim page. I’m sure to do this, backend will definitely have a dozen and one restrictions. So I guess it’s good enough for now.

SATC 2′s Set Decor

Previously blogged about SATC premiering on 15 Apr. My bad. It is actually 28 May =(

And check out the set decor here!

Jessica Sarah Parker looks wrinkled here. The effect of aging..

I Love Urban Outfitters’ photo frames

Taking photos is my passion, and of cos, the photos deserve a good spot in the room to get its fair share of attention from my occasional guests.

Got S to help me get this from Urban Outfitters in the States:

So my beloved lomo photos are displaying themselves proudly on the wall (in a corner):

And now I see this:

I want it too!

Gmail drag and drop

If you are very used to Mac’s drag and drop, you will be happy to know this!

Hollywood Sign Hotel a possibility?

Hmm, do you think this will happen?

What if someone decides to hmm, commit suicide by conveniently rolling off the hill? Morbid.

Whatever it is, looking the simulated Hollywood sign now only reminds me of Disneyland @ Anaheim, Universal Studio, Sunset Boulevard, and Santa Monica!

Illuma

I didn’t know Illuma is THIS big. It certainly doesn’t look huge on the outside, but man, it’s relatively gigantic for a mall I would say.

Love a few of the art installations/displays there.
