Kickstarter, Y U MAKE ME BROKE?!

I apologize for the unnecessary hiatus. I've just been way too lazy to do anything good. D: the horror! Now, about the title. I believe I've spent RM600 +/- on items on kickstarter. I hope you know what is kickstarter.com all about, but if you don't, it's very simple, crowdfunding. It might take me forever to explain, so get clicking over to www.kickstarter.com to find out more. I'd like to highlight a couple of items I've purchased.

Printing with light!

   

This was the 1st project I backed & I have to say, it looks amazing. I don't have an iphone,

 but my brother has one, so I use the app to convert the pictures to a negative and get to work!

Sadly the project has been funded, so keep up with Lumi.co's website for updates when sales are open to the public :)

Charge Card

   

 It's a charger cable, as slim as a card which you can put into your wallet, so you don't have to worry about carrying a cable around. Quick! Only 17 days left to pledge and to get a charge card! 

 They also ship internationally ;) 

Duck Quest

   

I love Louie Zong's work. I pledged 5$ to this project & I think I'm gonna ask for a caricature of myself. 21 days left to to pledge for Duck Quest & be handsomely rewarded! ;) 

Roll Pro

   

 This project got reached its funding goal last night. After showing this to my mum, she said I could actually make it lol. However, I don't sewing skills, boo hoo. Nevertheless, great investment :)

Time for me to stop shopping online, because I'm saving up to travel!

The Saturdays

5 piece girl band from the UK, came to Malaysia twice, back in 2009. Here are the links back to my old blog for the Showcase at Zouk and for the Manicure & Pedicure at Nail Parlour

Now that you know who is who, let's get to the fun facts.

• The reason the group is called The Saturdays is it's their favourite day of the week.

• The group have 3 albums; Chasing Lights, Wordshaker & On Your Radar. 

• Rochelle & Frankie were in S Club 8 (was first named S Club Juniors)

• Rochelle is engaged to Marvin from JLS (check them out!)

• Una has just given birth to a lovely baby girl with her soon to be husband Ben

Their singles have only peaked number 2 on charts but the girls are working hard to get their number 1. In Malaysia, you won't hear The Saturdays's songs on the radio. Only when they come down and maybe during British Invasion. Pathetic right? That is just how radio works in this country.

Eff The Police... I mean mainstream shitty music on radio's in Malaysia. Let's see how The Saturdays have grown musically.

"If This Is Love" back in 2009

"Higher" in 2010

"All Fired Up" in 2011

Their latest single "30 Days"

I've just had a thing for music artist from the UK. I mean, I loved S Club 7 and I always will. Their songs are just not all about sex! Unlike the others. See you in June! But till then,

Protecting your Blackberry Torch 9800 till kingdom come!

2 months of just sitting at home with no inspiration to blog. Meh.

I know, I left with my NYC Video (WIP, work in progress). My Vegas Pro trial has ended. boohoo. Time to buy it I guess. Not the 800$ but some other one in the line. Let's get back to the title post, protecting your Blackberry Torch 9800 till kingdom come! 

I purchased the Torch back in 2010. I never really did a review on it because I didn't know how and it would be my own opinion on it. LOL!

I should have bought all the protective casing before I got the phone. Also, I felt like an early adopter for this phone. *le sigh* I had to wait for about 2 months or so for the full protective casing from Otterbox, as I purchased it online on the Low Yat Forums. 

The Otterbox for the Torch was great at first, until I dropped my phone a couple of times and the front plate broke because it only has 2 clasps, on the top & bottom. Many people complained about how flimsy it was. Getting a replacement would be a waste of time. Eventually, I stumbled upon a video of a guy who made himself a hybrid protective phone case. It was about 8 minutes long, so I'll cut it short for you.

He used the back portion of the Otterbox (silicon & hard plastic) and the front cover of the Platinum Series Case for Blackberry Torch 9800 along with the front protector which can put your phone into sleep mode as well. 

In total, I've spent 35.00$ (RM105) for the Platinum Series Case, 35.00 ++$ (RM120) for the Otterbox and soon, 10$ (RM40) for the screen protector. 

But because the phone is about to turn 2 in November and the fact that I've dropped it multiple times before I got my Otterbox, I am going to get a new housing for the phone & that will set me back yet another RM200. All these problems could have been solved if I had just got these items before I got the phone. Damn it. 

If you are purchasing a new phone, and you know you might have the tendency of dropping it, buy an Otterbox (if you're using an iPhone, cuz Otterbox iPhone cases are indeed amazing) and if it's for bar phones for Blackberry, the Otterbox will work well. Slider phones may need a lot of work like mine. 

May the force be with you, until my next post. Cheers!

New York City! (Work in progress)

Ahh, feels so good to be using Sony Vegas again. I had to use iMovie when I was doing my internship. Not so much of a Apple fan if you can't tell. :P

I hope to have this video up by tomorrow evening. Still wish I recorded more stuff while I was there. Here's to hoping I get to visit NYC again someday.

Pictures will be up on Photobucket with a link. Some awesome ones shall make their appearance here.
