You'll Never Run Out Of Idea For Blogging

Recently, I don't blog that often because there is a test for my Psychology Development on this Thursday and I've to start preparing right now. Sigh... I am still under CNY mood.. ;(

Anyhow, there is something I wish to share with you here....

Sometimes I'll feel worry when I blog too often and I might ran out of idea for the following post. As a result, my blog might get dull when there are no fresh, yummy, delicious issues to be discussed and my blog visitors will decrease drastically.
(sob... sad...please don't leave me..)

So, each time I will try to blog something interesting in the hope that my readers will come back again... (Sound like I am doing a small business here... lol... anyone want coffee? or tea?)

I believe some of you've the same intention too, don't you?

If the answer is yes, this post will help you in order to be a creative blogger- where you will never run out of idea for blogging. Just take a few bloggers as examples like Cheeserland, Aronil, Esther, David Cheong, Timothy and Pinkster

Cheeserland (Ringo) can blog anything starting from her nails, garments, food, people and finally about travel which will never bored her readers.


While Aronil, Esther, David Cheong, Timothy and Pinkster who almost hit the Innit most popular post ranking every week. What are their secrets? (wei... can share your secrets? hehe...)


Of course, your idea or issue that you wanna discuss should be interesting (anything that will catch the reader's heart-funny,sad,happiness and etc....) However, it's not easy to get juicy post all the time. You might run out of idea, someday, somewhere.

Sometimes, I will just sit in front of my computer, blank with nothing to blog about. No matter how hard I try to force myself, nothing but I get my wet redish eyes (as a result of looking at the LCD screen for too long).

What should you do if you're facing the same problem as mine?

Tips On How To Get Ideas Instantly For Blogging?

1) Read News
Read some latest news from the website or newspaper. You will get something fresh and can blog something related to it. (Remember to put in your point of view. Don't just copy and paste!)



2) Read Magazines
Besides newspaper, try to read magazine instead for example: Cleo, Cosmopolitan, National Geopraphic and etc... There are always interesting topics being highlighted in the magazine in which may be useful for your blog.

3) Read others blog.
Sometimes, reading others blog will give you plenty of ideas spontaneously. If this happens on you, remember to link the blogger's related post in your post to make your blog interesting. Besides, it's also known as 'blogger-courtesy'. This shows that you're showing your respect to other's ideas. (example: I realize that 3point8 did this. Good..)

4) Travel.
I believe traveling will increase one's knowledge and change an individual's perspective as well. And not to forget, you can blog about your traveling moment using photos (just like kennysia and mich!)


5) Play games.
If your mind is blank and have nothing to blog, don't worry. Relax and play some games (either indoor or outdoor games). It's believe that games will help to stimulate and activate the brain. It's preferable to play outdoor games instead of indoor (including Dota, PC games, PS2 games, chess etc...) in order to make your body move. When your body move, your heart rate will increase and this will increase the intake of oxygen from the environment into your body more rapidly. As we know, our brain needs oxygen and it will work well when the quantity of oxygen in our body is high. So, stop that couch-potato life style and start to exercise!

6)Listening to music.
Yes. Relax your mind and don't push yourself too much. Idea will come naturally when you're relaxing.


7)Eat.
Yes. You read the write word. Eat. I get ideas whenever I am eating especially something sweet like ice-cream. It's funny but true. Haha... I believe my sweet taste buds on my tongue stimulate my nervous system whenever I take ice-cream. Lol... I believe, as long as I am not in hunger state, I can blog pretty well... True?


*Cute*
8)Chatting
will help you in gaining some ideas. Maybe you wanna blog about your conversation with friends, or stranger in your blog. However, please put this in mind that you should ask the person's permission before blogging about the content. ACCEPT: You hate the person and wanna back talk him/her. Lol...

9) Secret Weapon
If the above 8 steps are not effective to you, don't worry. I've my last tips. Always remember this whenever you're too struggling in order to blog something...intriguing. Shh.... this is my secret weapon....

Good luck!

How To Get An Instant Date?

Since there is only a day left before Valentine Day, here is a quick studies on how to get your date before the dateline. Learn this or just sit at home, alone... sob... :)

If you've read my previous post on How To Steal A Person's Heart, you might have get some ideas on how to attract the person that you like within days, weeks, months or years. However, if you haven't manage (since you're too busy with work or assignments) to get one before Valentine Day (tomorrow) and don't know where should should get him/her, don't worry. Ms Curryegg is going to point out places that you can get an instant date!

Places:
  1. School/College/University: It's the easier place to get a date here since the number of students are large.


  2. Working Place: Working place is a best place to get your date too. You work with him/her together and get the chance to meet more often. So why not ask your colleage who are single for a romantic dinner tomorrow? Lol... The good thing is, both of you can afford the cost don't ya?

  3. Hospital: If you're a patient you can date the nurse who has been taking care of you all the time. Or...the doctor as well. If you're the doctor, you can date one of the nurse or patient. Lol.... and have a romantic time in the hospital. Choi! (the Chinese don't prefer to date in the hospital.. Lol..) Forget about this.



  4. Chatroom: MiRC, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Skype or Kennysia Cbox.. Lol... It is a place where you can meet a lot of internet users here. However, it's not safe to date a stranger via the internet since you have never meet them and don't know anything about them. So be wise!


  5. Blogging: If comparing the chatrooms and blogosphere, I feel that blogosphere will be safer. Why? To those who blog about themselves, you will get a clearer idea about them from the way they look, the way they think, their background and etc... Isn't that better? And that will create the blogger and blogger love story. Haha.... Tell me if any of you has become one... ;D

Hope that this will help. Lol.. if it's not helping you, just treat it as a joke. Wishing you all the best..

Oh ya... Today will be the 7th day of Chinese New Year and it's a day for everyone's birthday. So wish you guys a happy birthday! Yahoooooo! Presents please!!!

Tips On Writing Love Post For The Blogger That You Love

A Post Especially For The Bloggers

Love affair in classroom is common.

Love affair in the office is indeed common.
Love affair in blogosphere?

Hey! That's uncommon!


Lol.

I don't mean uncommon but just... the issue on blogger with blogger love affair hasn't been raised yet in Malaysia. (Maybe there are no paparazzi for bloggers yet. Lol..) Anyhow, stop that love affair thingy and let's start with an issue on blogger with blogger love story. For me, love story is always the sweetest story among others fairytales.

Talking about love story, I've been thinking about blind date. Anybody here went to any blind date before? Since the media has come up with the issue on blind date between the chatroom users (like MSN, Yahoo Massenger, ICQ, Skype and Kennysia Chatbox! Lol... Joking), I've a strong feeling that there will be a new 'open date' issue between blogger in the future.

*open-date = I created this word. ^_^

Psst....
Before this, I've been 'suspecting' that Kennysia and Nicole were couple. Haha... Why did I feel so? Em... the way they blog about each other did give me clues... Well, maybe they are just the false clues.


Maybe I can use Xiaxue as an example here. Some of you might know how Xiaxue meet Mike (or vice versa), her current boyfriend. It was when Mike read her blog and not long after that, he fall in love with her.. Lol...


Why 'open date'?
Reasons:
  • Easily bump into someone's blog (if only if it's open for public)
  • What you see is what he/she means. Words show a person's personality, intelligence and behavior in an indirect way. For example, you'll say 'fcuk you' when you're too an anger and you will put a ;) when you're happy.
  • Understand the blogger better. You'll get to read his/hers post almost everyday (or every week) and this has give you a clearer idea about the blogger lifestyle, interest and even some background.
  • Better communication. You can send comments on the blogger's blog, chat via Cbox or send them emails and then, get their reply.
  • More real. In todays blogging world, more and more bloggers are open enough to share their photos and post them in their blog. You will get to see lot of photos from the blogger himself/herself and this will give a clearer view on him/her. The problem of posting fake picture of the blogger himself/herself will be lesser if compare to the chatroom users who usually put false photos to each other when they're planning for blind date.
Since I'm predicting that there will be 'Open date' among the blogger... soon... (or is now happening), here are some tips on how to master the art of writing love post. Let confess your feeling if you've been keeping the feeling for all this while. The month of February should be a month of confession... real confession babe!

Well, if you've been writing love letter for all this which is so out-dated, try to make a blog and start posting love post to the blogger (or anybody) that you love or admire. Make your partner or the one that you not-dare-to approach-girls feel proud. Haha.... Isn't that sound interesting?

Tips For Writing Your Own Love Post:
  1. Get a nice or at least easy to view template for your blog. For example, the background colour is not too bright, not too complicated with objects and suitable size and fonts for the words. You wanna get the one that you like,love or admire attention don't you?
  2. Make it personal. (It's about you, your feeling)
  3. Let your words pour down from your heart into your blog.
  4. Include your own emotion. (Example: I will die without you right by my side)
  5. Include the reasons why you love or admire him/her. Be straight forward (by putting their names) and don't try to mess things up.
  6. Express your gratitude for knowing them.
  7. Give compliment to the blogger (Example: Their skills in blogging, ideas, beautiful template...etc..)
  8. Let them know how important they are in your life.
  9. Add in some poems, related pictures or songs. You might be amaze on how well they work out.
  10. Be truthful and sincere. *important!*

Anyhow, before writing any love posts you should bear in mind the consequences that you might face after posting them in your blog. Everyone in this world can read the post, even your friends, enemies, uncles aunties, the neighbour who stay next door, siblings, parents and even your dog (which is computer-literacy).


The risk will be higher if compare to writing an old-fashion love letter. Besides, you might even lost the friendship if the person that you're trying to get is not interested on you. (Uhh-oh... lose another reader).

But if she/he feels the same like what you feel, there is a spark of hope! Lol...
As the conclusion, there are always pros and cons. So, it's depend on you... bloggers!

How To Steal A Person's Heart?

Before reading any further, please answer this question:

"Are you single and available?"


If answering yes for this question has made you hurt since Valentine Day is just around the corner and you don't wanna spend your time alone, don't worry. Curryegg is going to show you ways on how to steal a girl/boy's heart immediately before the dateline: 14th February 2008. Isn't that great?!!


Ways on how to steal a person's heart.

1) Set your aim.

Setting your aim means that get the right person who has been appearing in your mind and dreams since all this while to be your target. If you've a few, think and choose wisely the one who you want the most. (NOTE: Make sure the person that you choose are not commited in any relationship. Next, choose only one and not more than that since you are running out of time, remember? We want 99% success!)

2) Understand.

Once you've chosed the person to be your target, you've a task needed to be done. Get more information about his/hers background, personal details and their interest. You can get them from his/hers friends, your own observation or from her family (if you dare). This is crucial for the next strategy

3) Action. *important*

If she loves roses, send her a bouquet of rose everyday. If he loves sandwiches, makes him a box of sandwiches everyday. They will get touch easily and fall to you within 2 weeks! This might sound simple but make sure you do it persistantly and consistantly. Or else, you might fail.

How does this work? The person who has been receiving the gifts consistently will get to used to it. Once you stop sending him/her gift even just a day, he/she will feel uneasy and might end up calling you, asking you: What happen???
And then, you're on your way in hitting the jackpot!

(Ivon Pavlov's classical conditioning theory is being applied.)

4) Attempt.

Hint them that you're interested in him/her via cards, sms or calls. If you find out that he/she is showing his/hers interest in you too, what are you waiting for? Confess your feeling to him/her and ask them to be your partner. Girls might be a bit shy in this context (yes.. I am), maybe you can wait for his move?

5) Backup.

What if he/she doesn't show any respone on you?
Don't worry, there are 2 ways.
Keep on approaching the person in a nice, sweet way until you get him/her.


Or else, just change your target. Get another new one! Lol...
But if you're late for 14th February, sorry to say that you've to spend your single life on Valentine Day.... again (which is not a big deal).

Good luck everyone!

Choose Your New Hairstyle!

I'm searching for a new hairstyle right now.
The fact is, I am a bit boring with my black, long wavy hair.
Don't ask me why. Well, it's a girl natural (even guy) to try to doll herself up don't you agree? Sometimes, we need a fresh new look in order to make us look attractive. You don't wanna have the same old hairstyle for a decade or more, don't ya?

So, I asked Uncle Google for help to get me a good website and I know, he will never let me down. This is it:

thehairstyler.com



It is such a great site. Anything that you want are here. They are including tips, advices, Q&A session, articles and varieties of hairstyle for men and women.

While I was learning about the website, I saw an interesting Q and A (Question and Answer) session.

Q I have colored my hair for about 5 years and lately I have noticed my hair is starting to fall out. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? Also, why it is happening? I am really starting to get worried.
- Jenny, Italy

A Dear Jenny,
There are many reasons why we lose our hair. First of all, you should know that every person should expect to lose between 100-200 strands of hair a day and that hair loss can be stress-related or tied to an emotional problem. But as I am reading your letter, I can see that you may have a chemically treated problem. When chemically treating your hair (coloring, perming, chemically straightening etc) you should always remember one simple rule - always in moderation . If you color your hair too much you will damage and dry the hair out and it will become brittle and fall out.

Please try the following to help keep your hair healthy and shiny:
1) Pre-treat your hair with a treatment before coloring.
2) Use a shampoo and conditioner designed for colored hair.
3) Regularly use treatments once your hair is colored to stop your hair from drying out.
4) Continue to get regular trims to cut off the split ends.

I hope I was able to help. Good Luck!


Regards,
Paola Fioramonte
THS Hair Consultant


Wow... we are expected to lose between 100-200 strands of hair a day? Really? You know what? before this, I was so worry that I might get bold before the age of 40 since my hair fall excessively (which I used to think so). After reading the answer from the hair consultant, Paola Fioramonte, I am relieved. Thank for the tips too!

Besides, I've even come across with this:

Find Your Perfect Hairstyle session:
How does it work? Well, there are all together 20 questions. All you have to do is to answer all of these questions and finally, they will give you the answer.

This is what I've answered:

Questions:
1) Choose your gender. female
2) Choose your complexion. fair/warm
3) Choose your face shape. heart face shape (I think so)
4) Choose your eye colour. black
5) Your age. 21-30
6) What's your hair texture? (hair strand thickness). medium
7) What's your hair density? (amount of hair). medium

9) What hair elasticity would you like for your new hairstyle? straight
10) What's your current hair length? long
11) What hair length would you like for your new hairstyle? medium
12) What's your height? uhh? Emm... average (-_-!!!)
13) What's your current body build? average (why do I've to answered this?)

19) Do you have any of the following? Yes. I wear glasses.

Finally, I got the answer from them. Guess what kind of hairstyle suit me the most? Ta-da..
Chin length bob (I like bob style)

However, there is another point that I should consider too. My glasses. Since I am wearing glasses, not all kind of hairstyle will suit me. The expect told me that:



It's important to try and choose frames and hairstyles that go well together. Large glasses could ruin a tidy feathery cut, whereas very fine frames could get lost and be overpowered by a large full hairstyle.

*Sigh*
Is that mean that not all kind of hairstyle will suit me when I am wearing glasses? No wonder I look weird when I had short fringe before. I look so... 'kampung girl' (village girl). haha... I think need a good advice for this. Anyway, the thehairstyle.com provides us a service. You can choose any hairstyles in the website that you like and paste it in your uploaded photo. This will give you a clearer view on how a new hairstyle look like and how suitable it's for your face. It will definitely save you from doing the wrong hairstyle. You don't wanna waste your money for the wrong hairstyle and look 'ugly' all the time?



(NOTE: I am not making any advertisement here. I don't get paid. All I wish is to share this.. It's cool man!)

Honestly, this is the biggest fear I afraid the most. I'm scared of changes especially a dramatic change. Anyway,I did my first perm (Japanese perm) last year after my STPM examination. Why did I have the gut? All I can say is... accidentally, unexpectedly.... I think some of you might still remember my previous story.. Click here if you wish to know it.


If some of you are looking for a new cool, gorgeous, seductive hairstyles, here are some photos I get from thehairstyler.com. I love them! Let's figure out which celebrities have the most out-standing hairstyle?








How I wish I can be a celebrity! Don't they look gorgeous? I wish to try every hairstyle here.. if.. I am not wearing glasses. HAha... If I happen to wear contact lenses in the future, maybe I will consider having these hairstyle:



I wanna colour my hair too. I think I need to try something new at least once in my life, don't you agree? Hehe.... I've even found out the male celebrities... Hot!

But not this I guess...
(-_-!!!)




Haha... Hope that you guys wont choose that hairstyle if.. you're not a musician, artist or.....etc like Kitaro.. ;)

Recently one of my friend has tried this hairstyle:



I believe most of you especially the Chinese will know her. She's Rainie Yang. This is her latest hairstyle. We called it as 'Jellyfish hairstyle' .. kekez...



Before, I don't really like her new unique hairstyle since she used to have beautiful hairstyle.


Anyway, her new hairstyle still look fine to me. Maybe I should try this new 'Jellyfish Hairstyle'? Haha.....
