why do u have to go and make things so complicated?

Hi readers~! On the previous post, i had mentioned that i had borrowed a Nikon D5100 from one of my senior to accomplish my homework assignment.  When i return the camera to my senior, i actually wanted him to check the camera in front of me, to make sure that i have returned every single piece of the camera to him.

Well, the thing here is that he do check the one and only part of the camera THE LENS.
when he opened the lens,he says : "Wow, u actually realised that there is a smudge of fingerprint on the lens!" 
yes, he purposely put his fingerprint on there just to test me
when i first took the camera from him, i realised that there is a smudge of fingerprint in the top of the lens, without any doubt, i just cleaned it up and wondering when did i smudge my fingerprint on it.

why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
Human psychology is a deep knowledge.
Human afraid of anything that unidentified by them, so do the unpredictable mind of another person. Humans' mind are full of thought, and even if they speak it out, who knows is it true?We liked to do what we can, to get what we want. 

life is simple, but we lived it complicated

Sometimes, we just have to go back to the innocent us. Life's nothing but a Brief Candle, make it simple, Chill It!

Hi dear readers! 
i had my first digital photography lesson last Tuesday. I havent get my camera that day, but i have to finish my assignment that week.
Luckily at last i successfully borrow a Nikon D5100 from one of my senior , even though he is not really willing to lend it to me XD

so i took a few closed up photo of the plants near my house.

Because of lack of photographing skills, and there has no any unique or beautiful plants near my house, these are the best photos i can get
As expected, ms su didnt satisfy what i have and "advised" me to reshooooottttt!!!

So these is the best photo i get that day, after my photo get rejected then i go straight to TTTW a place you can rest your soul. 
In the first two photo, i'm trying to capture the beauty of the landscape they have there and work on the composition to make the whole photo look visually balance
While the last photo is the photo I like the most of that day even the focusing looks bad but the composition of the photo is interesting



This shooting experience not only improved my photographing skills, but it also makes me think. 
We are just like the puppet of the society,  we rush and rush and rush to finish our work but at the end of the day, we forgot what we want and who we are.
How long have you been losing yourself at the black hole of society?  
have you ever realise that Nature has a natural healing effect?
Sometimes what we really need is to give ourselves a break, enjoy the nature, going on a vacation. after all, beauty of nature is always free of charge !!

Review for : New Food Shop Graphics


Hi dear readers! Went to library of my uni few days ago, i came across this beautiful book of New Food Shop Graphics 2009 which printed in Japan.It is a book that collected most of the beautiful graphic of food shop in Japan. I straight away fell in love with the design introduced in the book from the first time I flipped through the book!
The logos, interior, product, cutlery, brochure, gift bag and name cards design idea are so impressive that I decided to lead it back and take a serious look on it.

Firstly, the logos:

Logos always symbolize the image of a company, it helps the public to recognize the symbol of a company.
Below are the logos design that I found interesting:

Look how elegant and nice the logo of Mews

Cocktail Lounge Restaurant

 Logo of Chocolatier Palet D'or shows special and elegant.

A nice and complicated logo from Ousama

How you produce a simple yet complicated logo?

The packaging/ product/ gift bag/ brochure

The packaging of a product most of the time attract the customers to try on your product, therefore the packaging design of a product is very important to help your product to stand out from all the competitor.

Soft and subtle theme from L'abeille honey shop utilizing the beauty of honey

Friendly and cute illustration for various tool is the concept of this Original Joe's Italian restaurant. I really like cute cartoon concept, they attracted the attentions of youngster and make them the potential group consumer.

Last but not least, Tokyo Bar that uses manga as their theme of the bar. I like their match boxes a lot!

Japanese impressive design idea and creativity never stop amazed me. Sometime, we just have to keep our design simple and nice, just like life. We are not live to impress others, we live life lively; the way we want; the simplest way of life.

Review on Hada Lobo's whitening products

Hi, Today I would like to do a review on Hada Labo's several products.

Hada Labo Whitening Lotion

Hada labo whitening lotion is actually a toner. It is recommended for dry to normal skin type user. The main ingredient of the product is super hyaluric acid which gives instant moisture to skin, and a soft and dewy skin. It contains no fragrance or alcohol therefore it wouldn't irritants my skin. 
This whitening lotion also contains vitamin C which is able brightens our skin tone. Therefore, it is not recommended to acne prone skin. However, it still can be used after your acne was healed to brighten your acne scar. 
Direction: Use twice a day after cleansing face. Apply on palms as gently pat onto skin until thoroughly absorbed.


Hada Labo Whitening Essences

This has been my all time favorite whitening essence. This whitening essence effectively brightens up my skin tone and gives moisture from the inside to outside of my skin.
Same like other hada labo product, it contains no fragrance  or alcohol therefore it wouldn't irritants my skin.
My skin can really absorbs the  product eventhough the product is concentrated. If you are searching for a whitening essence this is it!
Direction: Use after your toner, apply it on your palm and gently spread it thoroughly your skin and gently pat it for better absorbtion.

Hada Labo Whitening SunBlock

Hada Labo sunscreen protection lotion has a UV protection of SPF 50++ PA+++ which is about to protect your skin from UV for 8 hours.
As you can see, the texture of the product watery based, therefore it wouldn't gives you the seriously sticky outcome which everyone hate. 
This product claims to give you 4-in-1 function which is: sunscreen protector, whitening, moisturising, and as a makeup base.
i really like this product because it done a great job in protecting my skin under the sun without reapplying and the watery texture of the product wouldn't burdened my skin.
Direction: Gently shakes the emulsion before apply it on face. Use as the last step of your skin care routine, 15-20 minutes before your outdoor activities.

One of my interest is exploring cosmetic and skin care products~ I don't really enjoy make-up because i was just too lazy to remove it ...
So that's it for my introduction, love life and peace!
