no-rush rule for distro upgrade

yeah. i've been living that for this time around. the latest ubuntu release is last April for 10.04 version (pretty obviously, 10 for 2010 and 04 for April). being new in this arena, i always found myself eagerly counting days for the new releases. butt. eh but! (thanks to despicable me. good watch. book ur tix now!) early stable release also got bugs! i used to have thoughts like only alphas and betas got bug. butt (not again.. anybody got the full movie download link already?) but, i got the whole system messed up during one upgrade i has to revert everything back to previous version.

now i'm here hopefully wiser and lot more cool-er. i only did my upgrade on june and it works just fine. yeay!! for the world~~!

actually i was thinking to have a full makeover of my lappy.. like spring cleaning or something whereby u know, put everything in order, partitions are neatly arranged, swap space is sufficiently set up, like u know.. girly box summore, mak mentua tengok boleh pleased teros, kihkih~

eh here's the tip! remember i once happy for easyLife for fedora? (psst, its here!)
now let us spread the happiness with a much alike (or is it much better? kihkih)
the step is like as easy as abc. once the install is finished, download the script and run and allow some time for the completion (very much depends on ur preferences and connection speed)
download here, now!

no key then get key

when i run this
sudo apt-get update
i got this
W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6E871C4A881574DE
i google and it leads me to here
to fix this. run
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 6E871C4A881574DE
and this
gpg --export --armor 6E871C4A881574DE | sudo apt-key add -
then try again
sudo apt-get update

ayem so lazy these days, this error been encountered for like few days already.
happy luciding everyone!

last day as an unemployed happy lady

1) and that's about it.
2) i am going to start work tomorrow..
3) office hour is 10am-6pm
4) i'll travel by train n bus or bus n bus but i'd plan to make myself walk more for the love of my heart. i am pretty much of a heavy secondhand smoker
5) location is in kepong. but i'll stay at my current place as going nomad too frequently is not convenience.  as much as i kept my stuff at minimal volume, they happens to expand themself quite significantly. thanks to those free shirts n stuff. wakaka~
6) i'll have a five working days per week and on some weekends i have to be put on standby with the offdays in weekdays  so yeah sounds fun that way
7) as always, this later part of the year, i am looking forward for endau rompin or any other environmental education job.
8) kensel no 7 above. it doesnt seems to be in place.
7) replacing the above 7. its not a civil engineering related job. at all. pretty random of myself, as always. you know what they say? the nawaitu of study just for getting a job is not right. but of course, this past five years i have developed deep love in this field, i just wanted to have fun while im still young to do as many things as i wanted, insyaAllah i'll have my own learning curve and i will put my best at any decision i made. regretting is always just another option.

so say hi to a brand new eena here :)
may the force be with me oo yeah~~!

photo :: urbanscapes 2010

held in KLPAC in sentul on 26th of June 2010

i went there in the evening because i had another meet up in UM earlier.
Akay and Teng were volunteering for the event thus they had the free concert tix! while the rest of us, kak syikin, farah, pian, adam, nikamir and myself just having goodtime outside the area. rm40 for just few hours is ridiculous! haha
first we got in, wander around the market area , got some usual art stuff..

and we had two whole ayam golek fivestar fresh from pantai dalam! ahaha epic! with free (redeemable) soft drinks summore.
(also ciggy, but not many of us smoke, lol, this fact makes Teng very happy)
after that, we went upstairs to watch the most awaited movie of the decade : muallaf!  by late Yasmin Ahmad
it was actually a medium sized room with the projection on the wall as the screen and free scattered seating on the floor
duhh i got blocked by the people in front of me (i blocked others at the back too~) would be nice if they had cushion or pillows!

the rest of the story, i get my camera out of my bag.. so let the picture speaks for us and the event itself

friends in action



the fireball shot

see! it really is a fireball

they must be trained very well to be at this state

got enough story?
actually our day did not just ended here.. continue reading on http://penjelajahjujur.blogspot.com/2010/06/sos.html

hope u enjoy my work!

photo retouch :: potraiture


potrait retouching method

cara saya adalah seperti berikut

1) select muka area, kalau perlu, tangan skali atau apa saja kulit terdedah.. selection tools kegemaran saya ialah masking je,
2) unselect details seperti mata, kening, hidung, mulut, garis garis tangan (kalau kedut2 nak reduce tapayah unselect)
(magazine melayu biasanya agak tergopoh gapah dalam hal ini, saya selalu menjumpai kening licin.. tanpa bulu)
3) feather kan selection, supaya border antara selected dan unselected area adalah kurang jelas.
4) masa untuk gebu! guna kan selective gaussian blur sesedap rasa. jangan terlampau gebu sehingga nampak artifak. try n error supaya jadi just nice
5) colour adjustment pun sesuai juga pada masa sekarang. focus kepada hue-saturation.. semakin putih, semakin gembira perempuan didalam gamba!
6) kesan kesan spot yang obvious dipadam menggunakan clone tool

agak agak keadaan kulit dah sedap mate memandang, teruskan kepada yang seterusnya, gigi!

7) dan mata putih! langkah pertama,unselect all terlebih dahulu.
8) buat selection baharu menggunakan tool yang lebih precise seperti lasso. select gigi (sahaja! bukan gusi atau bibir) dan mata putih (sahaja! bukan bulu mata atau hitam mata)
9) menggunakan hue-saturation konsep sekali lagi. reducekan saturation sehingga putih bersinar!


tips.. always work on duplicated layer. kalau terlampau, boleh reduce opacity aje, nak undo ke nak double lagi ke lebih senang
