Take a look at your calendar baby, it's January 1st 2010! A brand new year :O
I was pretty down in the dumps about New Year's and not excited at all, until the clock struck 12 and the fireworks started going off at Queensbay, and I had great MSN convos with Jia Yee, Ya Wen and Shar which totally perked me up and got me in the New Year mood!
What is New Year's without fireworks? And oh boy, I got some gorgeous fireworks photos! My digital camera's "fireworks" setting is pure awesomesauce. Totally didn't have to edit any of the photos.
Check it out! \m/
These huge, bright starburst ones are my favourite! They went off on the road outside my house. So pretty, I'm totally gonna use it as a wallpaper.
The road and roundabout outside my house were freaking packed! Half of Penang must've been jammed into the Queensbay area because of the countdown concert, it was crazy!
For comparison, this is how it usually looks. Took the photo once the crowd had cleared at around 2.30 am.
Both photos taken with the long exposure "night scenery" setting and equally as impressive as the "fireworks" setting. My camera actually is good for something after all!
Decided to do a special "digital scrapbook" style post with photos of myself chronicling every month of 2009 to (temporarily) satisfy my fascination with digital scrapbooking.
Maybe I should've posted this yesterday but... *shakes head* Nope, nvm, I know I wanted all the scrapbook-style things grouped together in one post.
Warning: People not fond of my vanity AND not interested in digital scrapbooking/pretty things should more or less turn away... now.
You have been warned! Don't whine/complain/criticize afterwards.
January - McDonald's with Munibah and Duan. February - National Day performance.
I didn't have any nice February photos so I bo pian forced to use the tudung one D:
March - Gelato with Sharlyn, Ashley and Manda. April - My house with Munibah.
Didn't include any wedding photos for March, reason being that I'm saving that for the wedding anniversary next... I mean, this year.
May - Charlene's house with her, Alisa and Jong Yi. June - Sports Day/Excapade with Ya Wen, Sharlyn and Manda.
July - Munibah's house. August - My car with Munibah.
September - Rizqun with Jia Yee and Maria/Swensen's with Jan, Jia Yee and Lennard. October - Trying on my dad's ties in the bathroom.
November - Jia Yee's birthday party at her house/Mall with Sharlyn, Manda and Ya Wen. December - My house in Penang, before and after getting my hair done.
The reason it's so vain and all me was because I honestly didn't want to include any photos that are of me with friends, because I didn't want any excluded (sensitive and close) friends to possibly feel left out. This way, it's fair.
All the beautiful digital scrapbooking materials are courtesy of Shabby Princess.
I think in this generation, digital scrapbooking is a great alternative to conventional (paper, scissors and glue) scrapbooking. Everybody uses digital cameras and you won't have to go through the hassle of printing photos to use for scrapbooking.
Digital scrapbook pages can be printed out too if you like. Digital scrapbooking lets you tap into your creative side just as much as conventional scrapbooking, and is faster and mess-free.
Best of all, it can be free of charge thanks to wonderful digital scrapbook material designers like Shabby Princess. Most of the time, it's the steep cost and limited choice or availability of scrapbooking materials that deter people from taking up the activity even though they may be interested in it.
Honestly, I think digital scrapbooking is a win-win situation. It took me three days altogether to make all the digital scrapbook pages for this post, but it was a project that was so much fun to do!
And gave me a HUGE backache too T__T
