i said i'd update next only when i'm in the states but i'm blogging in advance, mainly about preps and flight details and stuff heh.

so head on over to http://cherffalo.blogspot.com for the ny blog!

Just as a kinda last note here, i've been playing with photoshop today! wheeee~ here are some fun results

First up, the not very noticeable diffs one... Can you spot the diffs?


I think this pic is abit tough to see what i've changed mainly coz the color i've edited so much heh.But i changed my hair color, eye color, face shape and slightly smoothened the skin. Heh

Here's the final product of the next round of experimenting lol don't get too shocked yea.

Shocking??? Doesn't look like me yea? Haha. You'll be even more shocked when u see the original pic!! Damn different. Here goes:




Woohoo.. Now you can compare and try to spot the diffs haha. The original pic on the left was from my prom. I first edited the skin, then eye color, then face shape.. Haha. Before editing the lighting, here's what it looked like:



Nice eh the eyes? Haha. Damn striking la. But totally don't look like me liao sian. Partly because i edited my right side of the face too much. Heh. Had to re-blur it to make it less obvious. After that, i started playing with colors to make the pic look dreeeaaammyyy. Haha. So here's the before n after:



Yup then after tt i decided to add highlights to the first edited pic (before color edit) and here's what it looks like!



haha. Subtle difference (in hair color) but quite cool eh? Photoshop rockssss. MAY post tutorial. Heh but no lah don't think I will.. Alright that's it for this blog! Go to the cherffalo one for more updates=))

teeeheeeheee

hey all =)

this is gonna be an ordinary event blog k =) fancy and interesting entries will come next time!

so the last time i blogged it was till the mani appt wit val... i think in the end we didn't mani, just hung around and chatted a lot =)) my kinda outing =) ate delicious stuff too =))

okays after tt, mon, tues, wed and thurs i went to sch... made it to all lessons on time =) So proud of myself=)) [i'm sure a lot of you are proud of me too! =D ]

okays then that night(Thurs) went to DXO to support shui coz it was the bash she organized =) many many thanks to kor for picking me frm my place then sending us back too! =D it was an ok event but i got 'drunk' after 2 measly housepours (we had like damn a lot of unlimited free drinks)... OMFG mannn So damn malu.. Then the guys were all like "lousy la u" kind.. Sian. =( But anws, pics are on facebook.. Go see. My face is damn red la. Stupid speed-drinking.



Hehe. Okays then friday no sch (i dropped ntr! =)) and so I went down to my tuition kid's school to pass her the cd of minus ones i burned for her for her singing competition =) I think a lot of you will know what i'm talking abt hehe. So sweet can coz the security guard dun let me in so she came out to see me then kept begging the security guard to let me in coz apparently her teacher said can.. But the security refused to grant me entry so yea I was like "it's ok" then my student was like all reluctant to leave but before she went back into her school she was like:

"Can I hug you?"

AWWWW! =)) Hahas i was like c'mere! hahas. Anyways then after tt met val, went for lunch (brought e 2 chipmunks along) at njc! Hahas. Funn! Then brought chipmunk back to her house, chatted wit her for pretty long and played wit her baby sister! Then went home!


Saturday was cool... Hahas. Met tong@bugis then went to the M5 place.. Talked to william, settled some stuff, then had a very interesting 1 hr music lesson!! Hahas. 18273645!!! 81726354!!! Wahahahha. GO BUY TOTO EVERYONE! Waahahah Then went home for dinner coz quite late le =(

Sunday was busyyyy.. I missed Church in the morn, then went to Toa Payoh for meeting at about 2pm, then dragged for a bit and i completely missed sitong's single pre-sale event! =( Boo. But I heard it was wildly successful so good on ya tong!! =) Hehs. After meeting I had to pia down for church... Then dinner wit family!

Monday after tt started out fine but HORRIBLE INCIDENT $(*&%#^%$#@ (UB ppl shd know) made me super pissed for the whole day (week/month/year)... Tsk. Anw then had tuition. Tues, Wed and Thurs were regular days, made it to all lessons on time (btw, no mean feat k coz my lessons are all morning lessons! 9am tt kind!) Hehes. Had cca on tues! And also had tuition as per normal!

Friday was a free day! (sorta) Sat was free but I went to church to attend mass so that I'd be free on Sun! It was the Children's Mass so very nice coz the kids are so super cute! I sat behind the Little Praisers (children's choir) and utterly enjoyed their chirpy sounds hehe.

Sunday! Slacked at home till it was time to meet val and head down to VCH to watch Hallelujah VIII! Hehes. It was really good, I liked the Warcrye of the Elfegens, the Disney Medley, the one composed by Benjamin Yeo (!) and one more I can't rmb off the top of my head. Hahas. The Saints' Alumni Band is a really tight band.. Got standard!! =) Met zhijia and liting... Had lotsa fun camwhoring hehe. After the concert val and I made our way to Marina Square.. Ate at Billy Bomber's (orgasmic!!) and then shopped minorly and cabbed home, all the while chatting to the nines!

Ok Monday! (yesterday!) Reached school on time, had tuition, went for meeting! Meeting ytd was damned good! I think we girls kinda bonded hahas. Laughing like crazy over a lotta stuff! Talking behind people's back, enjoying kolo mee, playing silly whiteboard games.. Zhi Shao Hai You Ni and Inside Your Heaven... And what was yvonne's? Haha anyways whatever it is, I'm looking forward to tomorrow(wednesday!) night's night of FUNNN =) And also the weekend's photoshoot!! Wheee~

Ok today!!! Yay I had a really great day today too! Made it to sch on time too! Cancelled tuition (first time this year) and stayed in sch after classes to study and chat wit annnnn~ Then we went down to the National Library for our Talk.. Super informative talk! Ann and I spent the whole day chatting and laughing and also being serious, but was good! Oh before the talk we shopped a bit at bras basah there - me & ann love the popular there! wahaha we're such dweebs. Anyways, long story short, it was a really great day!

Then yea after that got lotsa political stuff =( ohwells. I cannot say this enough: I will give you my opinion, and then if you insist on what you want, then I will give up. I think it's pretty obvious I've decided to let a lot of things go because in my opinion, things are already in an irreparable state. There's no use fighting over it. So y'all can do what you want. I will help if you need it, but yea, I won't exert my opinion over you guys anymore.

One thing though: You definitely don't want me to give up on other stuff (like sch projects or what haha) coz if I give up, i REALLY give up. Though it takes a lot to make me give up la. Goes to show. AAAaaanyways, I feel that at least now I can properly concentrate on my school stuff.. And NC stuff, and hosting duties etc =)

I'm broadening my horizons, spreading my wings! I've adopted LIB - Let It Be. It's in conjunction with IGU - I give Up! Hahahaha.


Anyways, a bit of thought blog here. Ann and I were talking and we felt that the UB education is seriously a very very very good one. I feel so enriched, well-read and deep after all these semesters! Hehes. Another thing we talked abt was something abt my financial background, which is interesting coz I have mentioned it a few times that I only realized I was in middle-upper class finance-wise when i went to JC. Yea. But I think my friends are getting the impression that my family is LOOOAAADED! We're not la. We're better off than most, but we're not using money to wipe our arses lol.

Speaking of which, remember something i blogged abt awhile back? Abt that extra fridge i discovered in the backyard? Well i asked my mom and realized what it's for le. It's my maid's personal fridge. $&%#@^!! I want a mini fridge in my room now. And a pair of skis please! Haha. Tsk la! It's huge leh that fridge. What a waste. hahas but ok la can understand why my maid needs one.

Enough $$ talk! I have one question for all of you who know what i'm talking about!!

THIS YEAR OR NEXT!?!?!?!

My parents have told me to submit the application for this yr liao.. But i haven't told them tt nx yr can.. so HOWW??

more interesting stuff...

now now, in a bid to make my blog more interesting... here's some MORE interesting stuff!!

Above is a video from Ellen Degeneres's Birthday show, where some of her celebrity guests decided to lip sync to Gloria Raynor's "I Will Survive".. I think it's super hilarious, especially the acts by David Spade, Jamie Foxx, Jake Gyllenhaal, Celine Dion, Queen Latifah and Heidi Klum... Haha! They're so obviously hamming it up for the cam!! The best part really is when Jamie Foxx does the sign language thing towards the end, and Queen+Celine doing their Diva thing, as well as Heidi's cluelessness at some parts wahaha. I also appreciated the appearances by Victoria Beckham and Paris Hilton, though it was kinda blah... AND not to forget, MASI OKA and that guy fro 30 Rock, (can't rmb his name) who did the "strong" thing by trying to flex his arm. Wahahhaa. Hilarious =)

Anyways, I've been listening to some super nice songs on my Ipod.. Haha. Will post up the lyrics of them up here really soon. Upcoming posts will include a tutorial on how to make the eyes bigger, which many people have been asking, as well as a full tutorial on how to touch up pics! =) Another thing I'm gonna update on is an interesting feature which I think you guys will really like, so yea, keep reading! Hahahahah

(prev post was too dastardly xiaxue for my liking. I sincerely apologize) wahahah. I sound so much like xx! Ohwells

Till the next time, toodles!~

cherlynn the (photoshopped) goddess!

heyyyy

have a lot of things to update you guys about but... some people (ahem, elves) complained during COM125 tt my blog entries are tooooo long so they (ahem, HE) don't bother to read...

and I've also noticed that many of my friends can't be bothered to read parts of my blog that don't mention them..

so here comes a really INTERESTING blog entry for y'all to enjoy! (and it's short too!)

Well today I was just reading GoFugYourself when i saw a video about Plastic Surgery without Plastic Surgery.. Basically skills on how to change ur look using makeup... Then I looked at more makeup videos on youtube and chanced upon a Photoshop Makeover video... Well the ones on Youtube are really fast so you can't really learn how to do it there but I've had quite some experience editing pics so I decided to try out one for myself! =)

Here's my V first attempt (ok not v first one, but first serious one) at changing my face wit Photoshop! =)

From the pic on the left to the pic on the right! =)

Wahahah I think I did a pretty good job alright! Ok here's a bigger look at the original (WARNING: VERY FUGLY) picture!

Ehhs... It's pretty damn gross. Let's identify the glaringly wrong things in this pic!

1) BAD BAD SKIN!!! Oily and rough! And eyebags!
2) Slightly yellow and very uneven teeth! And vampire teeth!
3) uneven eyes!

Ok that's just what's glaringly wrong! Hahas. Alright items 1 and 2 are pretty easy to fix... Just some painting over will do. Voila! Here's the finished product after even-ing out the skintone and getting rid of the eyebags, as well as some touching up of the teeth!

Alright... Sliiiiightly better... (PS click on pics to see original size!) At least it's not cringeworthy like just now! However, something is still GLARINGLY wrong! The grossly small and unequally sized eyes! So I went to make some changes (ventured into unfamiliar territory le!) and voila! Here it is:

HUGE BAMBI EYES LA! Omfg. This was very very poorly done =( sorry guys haha. My first attempt nia so you gotta be kinder on me k. I also accidentally did something very minor to the nose... Not obvious... Oh and also twitched the left side of the mouth (MY left, as in, the ME in the pic) a bit (by accident! and cldn't find the UNDO option)

This one was baddd all the more coz i had to edit the friggin irises and also the pupil of the right eye (again, MY right) You will notice that the eyes really look weird (right eye is 'leaking' at the bottom near tear ducts, left iris is really wonkily shaped)

However, I didn't really wanna bother much abt that.. For a first attempt, I wasn't gonna be all perfectionist on myself lol.

Another edit in this picture was the hair.. I basically smoothed it out and made it neater=)

So yea! I was done! I did some effects and came up with the below 2 pictures!

Moderate styling

Elaborate! For display pics and profile pics!=)

Hahas. Interesting NOT? I am so going to meddle with all my pics from now on to brush up my technique=) Want a tutorial? Simply tag!

Lots more to update about but dun wanna BORE you guys out. Ciao all see y'all soon!

ahhh

crikey... super a lot of things to update abt =( but first things first! I've a joke to share wit y'all and i''m not sure if all of you will get it coz i didn't for about 10 seconds. haha

Mason vs. Dixie

A University of Georgia student was visiting a Yankee relative in Boston over the holidays. He went to a large party and met a pretty co-ed. He was attempting to start up a conversation with the line, "Where does you go to school?"

The coed, of course, was not overly impressed with his grammar or southern drawl, but did answer his question. "Yale," she replied.

The Georgia student took a big, deep breath and shouted, "WHERE DOES YOU GO TO SCHOOL?"

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Get it not??? Yale in southern drawl = YELL. ahahahahahahha =)

Aye, will update later! needa toilet!

I bought my new mouse, and a new memory card for my hp! We also went to popular to look for assessment books...

then oh yah, we ran into ah seet (huitze) and her bf at bukit panjang plaza too hahas chatted for a short while.

Wah tell ya, I totally melted at the fiction section la... DAMN LARGE + GREAT COLLECTION LAH!!! Sigh.. How i wish my library was like that. Sigh... Anw, i bought a book called The Terror... Set in the 1800s... Hopefully I'll love it hehe.

Kays then ann arrived and we went shopping!!! Haha I was like, aiming to buy a nice cardigan by the end of the day so yea we headed off looking! But first! I also aimed to buy a book to teach myself Italian at Kino (another place I had vouchers for) so yea went there! Then when I was browsing the Italian language books and ann was looking for her "Northern Lights" Book (dunno even if it exists LOL =Pp) this old man came up and he was like "Learning Italian?" and totally launched into which books are good, where to take courses etc.. He's some doctor, pretty well established i think then yea v interesting =) Talk talk talked... Funny though, i must have some radar that alerts ppl to my presence or sth coz I've been getting into these freaky situations where random strangers like to just ask me things =(( It really weirds me out... Scares me too!! Haha I'm the queen of paranoia rmb!? =) Anw yea! I bought a book called Painless Italian =) When i'm done with this book I wanna pick up the Schaum(n) one =)) WHeeeee~ Can't wait!

Ok then we went for dinner at Central Cha Caan Teng... Yayy =) I had the Instant Noodles with Fried Egg and Luncheon Meat!!!! SHIOOOKKKK =)) Ann had porkchop with instand noodles! =) Then we shared a (freaking delicious) Lime Juice with Sourplum and a mango sago cream =) But too bad leh all the cold stuff made ann have tummyache so we went toilet..
