You know how some stores like Borders have gift cards? Come to think of even some restaurants like McDonalds and Starbucks also have those. The bad thing is, you can only use those gift cards at places that issued them.

Sometimes I wish that I could use those gift cards in other places. Well you can by buying Visa Gift Cards. Think disposable visa debit cards. Convinient. Not only that you can even put your own picture to customize it for family or put your logo to give to your customers.

I grew up with a lot of influence from Disney. From storybooks to colouring books to movies, my parents believed in giving me wholesome entertainment. I was excited to find that Beauty and the Beast musical is coming to town! Yay! ‘ve always loved musicals, the great lyrics, the beautiful singing, the well choreographed dancing. Too bad I’m broke now if not I’d get tickets instantly.

You know what would be even better? Going to New Jersey. Here are some things to do in New Jersey : Vacationing in Morey Piers and attending the Radio Disney Summer Concert Series. Its one of the many Wildwood events this year. Best part is, its totally FREE! So all I’d have to pay is the accommodation at Cape May hotels.

This show is going to feature Disney Celebrities such as Raven-Symone from Disney Channel’s “That’s so Raven” and the currently showing Walt Disney movie, “College Road Trip” starring Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone. The July 26th concert will also feature Mitchell Musso from the “Hannah Montana Show”.

Lately there has been a lot of new bloggers. These are people who jumped on to the bandwagon and decided that they want to be bloggers because (i)They want to keep a journal online (ii)Their friends are doing it (iii)They think its cool (iv) Even Malaysia’s ex-prime minister is doing it and (v) they want to make money.

The thing about them is, they like open topics in forums asking this and that, hoping to be spoon fed. What they don’t realize is that with the power of google there are so many websites that give really good information. From simple web hosting articles to online HTML/PHP lessons, everything is just at the end of your fingertips nowadays.

Ah, the convenience.

Oh no! Due to my stress (?) over exams and projects, pimples have popped out on my face. That’s probably the worst nightmare of every girl. Especially for someone like me who almost never has breakouts. I’m not even familiar with any acne product.

However, My sister has sensitive skin, so she does know about some acne products on the market. She usually uses products that are recommended by her dermatologist. Its still rather hard to find the best acne products that will suit my face so I guess I hv to just make some trial and errors.

I went for my 3ds presentation yesterday. I have a robot-like character in a box. The story is, the character wakes up and stands up and walk towards the door. He (or rather, it) tries to open the door using the door knob but its locked. Then it takes a chainsaw and tries to saw the door down. He fails. Then he gets an axe and tries to chop it down. Finally he decides to run and push against the door.

So anyway, I showed it to my lecturer the other day. He said it was okay but my animation was a bit too slow I lost around half marks for that. The other major thing that was missing in my animation was lighting. I didn’t have enough lights to brighten up my scene so the scene looks dull and rather plain. Another thing was I didn’t have any lights inside my box so the robot was dark. He encouraged me to use spotlights - in real life it would be something like Golights - to shine on the robot.

I think that lighting is very important in 3d, especially if you’re creating something realistic. This is because you have to ensure that all the shadows and stuff are correct - just like in real life.

Still so much work to be done on my project. *sigh*

I once came across this post in a forum that was looking for women to donate their eggs for RM3500. The post was deleted soon after by forum moderators because it sounded too much like a scam.

Scams aside, I think that fertility clinics are really doing a very positive thing. Its sad for couples who would love to have a child but can’t due to some complications. One thing they can do is the IVF procedure where the egg (from the woman) is extracted and then the sperm is added. Then a few days later, the developing embryo is placed into the woman’s uterus. The babies are commonly known as test tube babies.

Wonderful isn’t it, this world of new medical technologies?
