Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Behind The Scenes

This post is with regard to the comments made for previous post [ teddY Learns How To Draw (and Design) ]. Well, in contary to popular belief, the 2 lovely-looking images are not scanned since I'm so poor I can't afford a scanner my scanner spoilt. I played around with the curves function of Photoshop instead to make the photos look as if they're scanned. Cool right? :cool:  Here are some behind the scenes photo (warning – they look horribly ugly!) :

And here are some before and after photos as I make good use of the almighty Photoshop CS2. The 2 images below are clickable. When you click on them the final edited image will be shown in the lightbox :)

Before & After

If you would want to know the details behind the manipulation do remember to drop a comment to tell me :mrgreen: since the process is short and sweet I think making a tutorial out of it wouldn't be some rocket science ;)

Anyway, after I've edited the photo, they're effectively black and white photos. So I can simply crop part of the image and move them around to arrange them in the order I love. Isn't this great? As long as you have a camera impossible is nothing (okay Nike don't sue me for using your tagline). 

Oh, and I've spent quite some time yesterday (because I was so damn bored) playing around with the create-a-sim feature in Sims 2 to create my ideal family :D So here they are (click image to view larger version):

My Ideal Family? Hmm…

Maybe I shall blog about their lives next time. :) Have a nice day!

    Hey dude, nice + neat + niche blog site you have here, it’s very cool, I am totally in love with your theme. xD Any possibility for you to outline a tutorial for it? xD It would be massive tho, I guess. xD Are you a (IT) design student?

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching The Hula Song. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
