Now you don’t even need Flash to come up all these web effects.

Just plan coding with JS coding, you can have those ultimate effects for your picture display.

It’s so easy and you can do it yourself.

As usual, go to work this morning and didn’t expect much surprise like cakes or gifts. This is usual when people who married with kids.

Before lunch time, makan-king told me he has chores to be done and so do I.

At 11am… (gTalk)

George: lunch time go megah i wan to buy BUFF ;)

John: SS15

George: huh! wat u wan to do?

John: my specs belum collect la

George: take ur specs ar? Haiyo! i wan to buy BUFF la! ya lar my cousin need it

John: go subang first la… later i fetch u megah bike pro

George: ok ok yes boss! we go ss15 fast fast take specs then megah buy buff

For all these conversation, I don’t even aware or notice it’s a SCAM or probably I was too stone… or he was too good in acting!!

After collected my specs, we went to Bikepro at Taman Megah. Micol, Joe and KC were there too, they kept asking me which one is nice and which better for Jerry (George’s cousin). Since Micol’s taste was about same as mine. Took the green one… at least it doesn’t look ‘cheap’, I said.

Bought it and head back to office. Seriously, I was totally not aware of that, I’ve been scammed.

And the surprise begins.

Thanks to the birthday planner - and George such a good actor and Sky for the Video clips.

Last year During December, I went to LongXi Creative Forum/Exhibition organized by The One Academy.

Or Visit the Bloody-Creative website.

Something inspired me was the speech from Thomaz Mok’s philosophy of Creative “Yi Jing ”. It based on the oldest Chinese classic text formerly known in Wade Giles as “I-Ching”. And Thomas has interpreted it into 11 of “Yi”. And he used of this 11 “Yi’ to form into one word, it’s another meaning of “Yi”….

He has make used of the word “Chuang Yi ” to reform into 11 different meanings such as…

Each time I’d looked at the word – “yi”, it refreshed my mind when I’m working or step forward, it helps not only for myself but for my team member. Eventually I recreated it and make it as my wallpaper.

Last month, Jack requested some of the managers to help up his department’s Team Building or so called “Wah Lau Eh” Makan Trip to Port Dickson.

Name Tag

Yes, John is a Marshall.

Joe and I have been selected to be the Marshal who taking care for the first station’s challenges, I was told to be the photographer and help to organize the first challenge - Model walks.

Through my experiences in games, I thought of giving these teams some funs and some “stress”. Not just a game, but overall to test their body and mind.

However, Joe was busy with his sales and I have to work alone before the challenge day, already got some ideas in mind. Firstly, we blew some balloons and put few clues into the balloons and some are false, yes, idea to make them run 100m away and back to base under the HOT sun. Haha!

I think overall is fun, each team has to follow the picture and post exactly as possible which the clue they had picked, and one of them has to be their photographer. Of coz I was ordered to photograph too or video down what they suppose to do.

After the challenge, we were all gathered at Rechado Lighthouse, there was an excellent sunset…

First time I heard of Web 2.0 or web-2, it was year 2006; but it origin since 2004.

Do you know where and how this name came about?


“Web 2.0″ is a weird phrase. It began as the name of a conference, but the people organizing the conference didn’t really know what they meant by it. Mostly they thought it sounded catchy. However, “Web 2.0″ has since taken on a meaning. There are some interesting new trends on the Web, and it’s the nature of a phrase like that to adhere to them.”

But today people introduce it with technology and bringing certain styles to feature the Web 2.0 design.

What special about Web 2.0 from design perspective? Yes, there are some guides or design styles you need to follow:

1. Simplicity
2. Central layout

Weeks ago I have gone through some article about Color Schemes, some people likes certain colors nevertheless it’s very subjective. I come across with different type of clients either he or she, they all had different taste of colors, and some are believe color show lucks, feng-shui?

We see colors everywhere, it apply to your fashion, your interior, your moving vehicles or what currently showing right in front of your monitor.

Color Blender

Myself deal with colors everyday, when comes to color matching, usually you need some tools to help you - Color Blender. Yupe! This might help you not only on screen, or on your wall. Take a look at the bottom matching - each of them represent different feeling.

What is “SAA” (Software Asia Alliance)?

Established in 2008, Software Asia Alliance (SAA) is the first global ICT-based alliance of its kind offering comprehensive end-to-end solutions and services for various industry segments, delivered with the full understanding of each industry’s specific requirements, as well as the cultural appreciation of each region.

Follow the same vision of the SAA’s core business, I have to find some elements that represent it.

Currently there’s 6 members include XYBASE, EBDesk, Patimas, TMS, SSC Solution and BlueBridge Software

Gone through the same process and some changes here and there. Finally the logo has decided…

The orange DOT represented unity and globalization, and the free-form shape in the logo is made strong graphically to symbolize the freedom to pursue new ideas. The shades of green symbolizes that information technology are incorporated in the delivery of knowledge.

31 May 2008, it was a great Saturday, there was 2 big event happening in KLCC, one of it was the biggest book fair held in KLCC convention center (Kuala Lumpur Book Fair @ BookFest). And one of it which I had planned weeks ago - Canon World of EOS that located right middle of KLCC shopping center.

EOS

Yes, I went there just for the “EOS Grand Photography Contest, Model runaway show and Photo Contest.”

Again, to gain some experiences for stage photography, not only that, I went to the Canon Service Counter for FREE services, which I was surprised they have clean your gear in details, lens, filter etc. And I’m very happy coz I have not sent my gears for service since years.


Waited for half an hour, Canon model Runway was almost begin after my gears have been “Cleaned”!! By the time I reached the stage, Gosh! There’s about 200 of experts who have been standing there and taken all the nice spots. I’ve seen some even standing on 2nd floor… hmmm… Lucky I have my Prime 135mm which i could zoomed from far. Somehow I managed to squeeze into the crowd about 15m away from the pretty models.

However, still managed to grab some nice angle.

I have taken more than 160 shots, no regret; Coz I’m happy and believe some of the shots are greats. After filtering those images, and I have decided to pick one of the most “creative” one. Or I would said I’m lucky somehow the lighting splash through her eyes.

Finally, printed and submitted to Canon. Not so much to win the prizes… but it’s fun and experiences.
