Gundam!!!

Today, we went to buy some gifts for our relatives. We came across Gundam. And here, we go.
We bought three for ourselves.  I took 2 hours to build just one of them. Pictures will do the talking.

Words of Wisdom - 爱是。。。

Original Source is from Queenie: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/tvb8queenie/21434286

沒有把握，別輕易說愛...

If you are uncertain,  do not say you love casually...

一句輕挑的愛，可能會揮霍了女人的青春和等待。
Your casual remark of love will squander her youth with her wait.

沒有誠意，別隨便說愛...

If you are insincere, do not say you love frivolously

一時的激情，可能會用盡對方對愛情的崇拜。

A moment of passion may consume all trust who has in love.

沒有能力，別簡單說愛...
 If you cannot afford, do not say you love simply

愛情不是廉價遊戲，雙方要有承擔，並且成熟以待。

Love is a not a cheap game, both parties shall commit and treat it with maturity.

沒有真心，別光用嘴來說愛...
If you have no heart, do not say love with your mouth...

真愛用行動證明才最實在......

Fundamentally, love is best to be proven by action.

沒有堅持別敷衍對方承諾愛...
If you have no perseverance, do not promise perfunctorily...

激情不可能一直澎湃，持之以恆的付出才不會把可貴的緣份出賣......

Chemistry and spark will not last, only commitment will duly reward the precious fate.
沒有了解別把肉體兌換愛...
If you do not understand each other, do not exchange love with fresh...

汗雨纏綿的性愛不會讓男人更珍惜妳的存在。

Wild sex will not make him treasure your existence much more.

沒有預防，沒備真心別做愛...
If you do not love truly, do not make love without birth control...

劇震過後，即興清醒，忘形抽搐，只剩無魂身軀漸漸腐敗。
After all the climax, excitement and enjoyment,  what left is a rotten body with no soul.

沒有愛情，千萬不要封鎖心房放棄愛...
If love leaves you, do not give up love... 

幾次受傷屢次背叛不代表塵世男女皆屬愛情無賴。
Numerous betrayals from some do not mean all humans are rogues of love.

沒有情人，不妨轉移聚焦給世界關愛...
 With no lover, why not turn attentions to care about the world...

一點付出足以匯聚成海，助人有益身心，慷慨送上愛。
 A little contribution will accumulate and benefit lots of kind soul. Be generous to give love.

Smoking (^ ^)

Hihi, here are something I learnt this week (^^).

I was inspired by "Sensitive light" and decided to capture some smoke. Here are my creations :)

For my simplified setting, please see below. Any comments are welcome.

To see more, you may like to visit my multiply :)

~~~~~~~

Equipment list:

1) Flash (borrowed)

      Name: Canon SpeedLite 580EX

      Setting: M with power=1/2 (Tips from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2d281_HoEQ)

      Purpose: To freeze the smoke and act as a secondary light source at the right

2) Table Lamp

     Purpose: For illumination on the smoke at the left

3) Flash remote trigger

      Name: BlaZZeo MegTrig RF Speedlites Trigger: Receiver and Transmitter

      Setting: set to same channel for receiver and transmitter

      Purpose: To trigger the flash since the location of the flash will not be where the camera is pointing

4) Wide angle lens

      Name: Canon EF 17-35mm F/2.8 USM

5) DSLR Camera (borrowed)

      Name: Canon 7D

      Purpose: Instead of 10D, I used 7D due to its lower noise level. Smoke image needs to be noise free to stay “clean”!

      Setting: F20 (for deeper DOF and prevent overexposured image), 1/160(cos the wireless system does not work fast enough)

6) Pure Black background

         Name: My dress (LOL)

7) Supports

         Name: cans

Purpose: To make sure the flash is similar level as the smoke

8) Black covers

       Purpose: To ensure the flash to directionally shine onto the smoke only instead of illuminating up the surrounding

Have fun :)

Step 4b. After sewing, flip it over

Step 5. Ensure white cloth is in the middle for stronger support

Step 6. Bottom in the form of "button": One in green and one in Pink

Step 7. Sew the bottom with thick thread

Step 8. Before adding in the pull string, rings are added.

Step 9. Add in pull string and a finishing node

Step 10. FINSIHED :) with checked fabric facing inside

Step 11. Finished with checked fabric facing outing-pull tight

Felt Product - multi-layer pouch for currency storage

It is small pounch for me to keep currencies.
Before I made it, I have many many small purses and pouches. It is tedious to open them up and check which currency I keep in there. Partially, it is also due to my poor short-termed memory :P.

Now, I have a multi-layer pouch to keep notes and coins. The materials are bought from Daiso, except the layering material and blue ribbon that are cut from shopping bags.

伪君子

当人成长的过程中，难免要戴上面罩。 其目的不一定是坏的。善意的谎言是可以原谅。但往往给于这谎言定义的听者不一定与说者有相同的共识。这是谁的错?

从听者的角度而言, 说者是错的。在某些情况下, 他是个丑陋的伪君子。尤其当他用它来结束一段感情。也许这是个误会，也许这是那女的心有不甘。但以天时地利人和而言，以时间的证明，他是不折不扣的伪君子。 

谢谢他离开她! 因为从长远规划而言, 她已经没有他可以利用的价值，所以她自由了。她可以去寻找真正的感情。
