Leave a reply

In-case you didnt know, Earth Hour 2010 was on 27th March, 8:30pm. Everywhere around the world, according to their local time, people switch off the lights for 1 hour. 🙂

Toggle on over to Boston.com ‘s Big Picture to see these fascinating switch off the lights. Click on the photos to see the fade out, switch off lights effects. 🙂

Do you know…

1 recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to light a 60W bulb for 6 hours

And a 22-watt fluorescent light bulb emits the same brightness as a 100-watt incandescent light bulb.

In the 1870’s, Thomas Edison used carbonized bamboo fibre as filament in the development of the light bulb. The carbonized filament he used then still works and is on display at the Smithosionan in Washington D.C.

The brain operates on the same amount of power as 10-watt light bulb. The cartoon image of a light bulb over your head when a great thought occurs isn’t too far off the mark. Your brain generates as much energy as a small light bulb even when you’re sleeping.

Combining metal with acid (like lemon juice) causes a chemical reaction that creates positive and negative particles around each piece of metal. The negative particles will move through the wires from one piece of metal to the other, which causes an electric current. If the reaction is strong enough, it can even power a light bulb!

Took this while I was out this morning in town for my dental appointment.
I caption it as “Good Morning Singapore” when I posted it up.
But turned it around here as that. 🙂
I thought it worked really well.

Went for the Nuffnang’s Blogger Symposium recently,
It was in collaboration with Canon to promote their S90
*I so want a Canon S90! My goodness! Can I just cover my eyes ignore everything and just go ahead and buy the camera? O_O Goodness!
FYI: Dont see it small and compact, Canon S90 uses the same sensor as Canon G11

It was also the first time I met @luvyun!!! She is so nice! *So Bless! Just that day itself I met 2 of the nicest ppl I’ve ever met in my life~ Reuben and Sue! Love them to bits!


Surprisingly they tot I was there for the Photoshop Queen’s segment. 😀
But nah,
I was there for…


IeatIshootIpost

Felt that my lifestyle blog needs alittle pump in the food side. hey hey… 😀

Anyway,
it was good seeing those “Happiness” moments as well 🙂

Above: “the kind of thing that you must do at least once in your life.”

Above: “witnessing the arrival of a new life”

Above: “A hug that took 80+ years to arrive”

Above: “a rare moment where the girlfriend is the same size as the boyfriend”


Edmund (edunloaded) and some of the bloggers that were there for the Parenting segment


And for the technology side.
“aaa, what you doing, we should be the ones behind the camera. Stop shooting! you!”

😀

and of course met some familiar faces too


One of the twins (Jayley) that I met during the Firestation visit

the gorgeous twin Stephen and Cedric

Dr Leslie shared plenty of food photography tips, (do sign up for his talk that is with Canon) one of which that left the deepest impression was the one part that he mention when he was talking about 1/3 scale.
Let me show u an example.

Its very common for people to shoot food photo like this:

The whole plate (including the clean kitchenware) included in the photo.

In as much as these photos shows the whole picture of the dish, the audience dont really get just what is so tasty about the dish.

Lets bring the camera up close and personal.

Same dish, same camera, just different angle.
Now, do you know what you are suppose to eat? suppose to taste?

🙂 interesting huh?
Both shot using Marilyn (iPhone).

Thank you Nuffnang for the invitation, SMU for hosting and Canon for the lucky draw prices. 🙂
