Parcel App for iPhone/iPad
I find this app really good for tracking deliveries, as I don’t wanna spend so much time checking on the computer all the time and also it’s rather troublesome to always have to keep going to the mac just to check deliveries. This app tracks up to 110 different type of delivery services, and it even includes Singpost so you can check your registered mail too! The app is free, but the free version only supports up to 3 deliveries at one go, but that’s sufficient for me unless you’re like a mega shopaholic. More screenshots: Not paid to review this, just thought that some people might like this app!
Moo x Facebook Free Name Cards!
Placed my order on 25th Jan, and it’s here today (6th Feb) from the UK! These cards are love. Moo.com, in collaboration with Facebook, lets you print up to 50 different cards (using 50 most recent cover photos from your Facebook account) and these are super useful for me as other than being a designer, I also blog and have multiple online shops! Full color, Front and back! While space is limited and I could only customize that much on my free cards, it still makes for great conversation starters between new acquaintances (I’ve printed out cards featuring photos from my favorite holiday location – Japan, and my most recent one in Europe with the…
Pinterest – What’s pinned on my Make Up board!
Eugenia introduced me to Pininterest, sent me an invite and omg I was hooked! It’s something like tumblr, a collective of nice/interesting stuff (in fact a lot of stuff were all cross posted from tumblr) but very neatly categorized and I could pin them onto my own “boards”. I think the iPhone app is much easier to use and repin function is easier as compared to tumblr’s app and “reblogging” though. My favorite part of Pininterest is the Hair & Beauty section. I have a board mainly for make up inspiration… Look at these pins on my “Make Up” board. They are just so gorgeous and inspirational. I think all beauty junkies will LOVE it….
30DC – 14. Favourite Youtube guru(s)
(30DC stands for 30-Day Challenge! This is part of the 30 day make up Q&A challenge I’ve decided to join – Click here to view the entire list of questions!) 14. Favourite Youtube guru(s) AHHHH! This one is fairly simple. I don’t really like to watch videos, but I really like Promise Phan. She’s Michelle Phan’s Sister-In-Law. I was first curious when I saw a link to her video saying that she used make up to look like Adriana Lima. Then I was IMPRESSED. I mean, have you seen her “impersonation” videos? Just take a look at this list… I know, it’s not really a channel for beginners,…
Jaw/Chin Surgery
I was looking at my analytics when I realized that a large amount of them came from… deng deng deng, plastic surgery links. And there was one search result that intrigued me. Like, wtf is mandibular reduction, zyogoma reduction and augmentation mentoplasty?! So after some googling…. Mandibular reduction is the augmentation of jawline. Zyogoma is the reduction of cheekbones. Usually done together (want to pain pain one time mah) and it looks like it hurts like a bitch. Especially the cheekbone one. and Augmentation mentoplasty is chin augmentation. It’s somewhat different from a Chin implant I think, but agar agar same thing/result lah. Here’s Nicolette Sheridan, possible chin implants. image thanks to goingplastic.com And all…
Weird cheques
So i’ve been having some eyebrow raising experiences with the banks and cheques lately. These scenarios were those I never came across before and thought it would be nice to share… : x 1. Recently, I realized to my horror that I’ve been depositing cheques to the company account with the wrong account number… BUT IT STILL GOES THROUGH. Like ?!?!?!?!?????? What?! So i clarified with the bank assistant and they told me that as long as the username is unique (i.e. they only have one person/company of such name in the bank’s database) then the cheque will clear. Next. 2. I dropped in a cheque to the company which has MY NAME instead of…
Blackberry WiFi Problems
Leaving in 2 hours….. Excited! But not as panicky as when i realized that my WiFi on the 9700 is was condemned. Threw the problem to the genius of a boyfriend, but turns out that he couldn’t solve it either, even after with Google’s help. :
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands!
Freaking cute msn icons. Thanks to Anne! It brightened up my day tremendously hahaha. Then i pasted them to the bf, the self proclaimed xmm killer, who later showed me this. AWFULLY CUTE CAN! HAHAHAHAHA!
Font Addict
I think i perform a font download spree every other month. I most recently chanced upon this awfully cute japanese font site, Manickers. I think it provides a pretty awesome selection. They’re mostly a mix of english and japanese fonts (katakana), and some lone english alphabet ones.
