I started intense running only quite late during my life. I guess it's pretty much my way of paying back for all the years I missed out on any form of activities. I'm pretty thankful that I took up a little interest in running, clears my head , gives me a mini escape from the way things are, keep my body fit and the benefits honestly countless..
However, back then I didn't had the luxury of having an iPhone with me so I couldn't share the images that I've seen. This time, I've managed to capture more stuff with my iPhone. (yes go get one already)
East Coast Park is definitely very peaceful and in some way more spiritual! I would try to uncover more places !!
I have got this app by mistake quite honestly as I thought it was a video effect editor, turns out this app only renders photographs! Instead of feeling Lousy, I decided to just give my take on it.
I feel that the effects generated by this app does have some interesting effects that can't be achieve by the current apps I've owned, however I wouldn't go Wow over the effects cept maybe for the cinemaic one! Other than that I think it's not necessary :/ oh well of on the other hand they make this for videos, it would def be an eye opener!
Hope this little review helps !
Well today has been a mini emotional roller coaster ride for me, when I first heard the news that The Killers aint coming, I didnt really know how to react to the situation. Maybe I shouldnt react.. But it just sucks as there has been so much anticipation over the event! It seriously have caught me off guard but hey, shit happens and everything happens for a reason.. Heard Brandon's Mom is sick.. oh well.. Having had that initial set back had caught me in a dazed, its probably the first time in my life feeling sad collecting back my money! But its just what so and thats the way it is..
I had the privillage of resuming my window shopping with Andy and as agreed he sponsored my latest iPhone casing as my Christmas present! That somehow made me happy. Yes it's a concealed excitement from within! This gold bar sure looks tough and feels tough! Pimped up iPhone yo! The window shopping continued and I realized my absence in town has really turned me into Country Bumkin! They do sell Denim Jackets in Muji and they look great for sure! Can't wait to have them once I clear up my wardrobe! Being out has got me thinking that it's time I update my wardrobe! Made my order with Hooked Clothing to show some support for the local designers! Can't wait to collect them on Monday! Damn so much for living under a budget of $500 per month!

Yes the iPhone has done it again. Can't help but thinking of a scanner darkly!
A Scanner Darkly is a movie starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Rider if I did not remember wrongly. Thing with this show is that it has that rotoscopped effect that made the whole movie look cartoonish like and dope at the same time!
I spent a month or so learning the art of manual tracing with illustrator and yeah Ive manage to do a couple of stuff for my ex gf back then. It was lovely and all but sure time consuming!
Fast forward to today, Toon Fx pretty much allow me to do the same rotoscoping effect in what? Under 2 seconds? I was like Damn! This truly is the shit ! I am just simply amazed by the by product. I am sure there would be a video version soon and then! I shall be featured in my own cartoon!
Anyways getting in mood for earning more cash this year.. Do hope my new tuition works out! And perhaps it's time I make some investments.. Maybe I should set up a wingman company and be the real alibi! Sounds dope!!
The highlight for the day for me is when we walked into a random apple store and both me and Andy discovered that the very iPhone case we wanted is actually made available here in Singapore! We both looked at each other with our jaws wide open. It was like we both felt the exact same thing! We broke into a laughter when we actually tried so hard to purchase it from USA through Domonic and Tabbitha! Perhaps this really goes to show how long we have last shopped together !
Nonetheless, the blogs titled unanimous decision because I felt that we both had the spirit of giving in us. It wasn't any occasion but Andy and I just decided on buying our bro Bjorn a car charger without even hesitation! It's really nice to see bjorn crack up when he receive his car charger! iPhone no doubt has brought us even closer than before. Imagine 3 iPhone maniacs talking to each other ! We even managed to convince Gwen to get one and drop her blackberry for it!!
Well today is definitely an awesome day to be doing such stuff. Window shopping and surveying the market stuff helps motivate alot. You kinda want to own more stuff etc and own nothing but the best.
The above photographs depicts a list of stuff that caught my eye while window shopping! Well some are just scenaries that stands out so enjoy the pics!
Black and gold: a combination of two very strong colors that both have very strong presence. Put them side by side and they compliment each other so well that sam sparro sang a song over it! Potraying how this two colors are made for each other.. A love affair definitely. A hell of a sexy one in fact..
Of course more importantly, black and gold is simply aesthetically pleasing to the eye! (I wished I had the takahashi dunks damn)
On a subconciois level, I am subtly attracted to black and gold. I can't help thinking about my guitar, my DJ hero, my mystic vintage frame and now joining the family is my iPhone !!
Thanks to Tabbs for purchasing the cover on my behalf and thanks to Andy for scouting this cover! My phone has officially been pimp !!! Can't wait to have the gold frame wrapped round the Smartest phone ever existed! OMGROTFLOLOMG!!! Definitely a love affair worth spending on!
Let me know your thoughts of this color combination!
After using this app , I feel that the effect they provide is rather unique . The only downside though is that the pictures is square shape (great for profile pic) and you can't edit your old phoographs taken with the iphone native camera. Here are some screen shots for all to judge if they want to buy this app!!
Music is my obsession.
