Satisfaction?

Well, I couldn't stand looking at my calculator only half pretty. So, yeah. You guessed it. I designed something for the back as well. I know, I know. You think I have waaaay too much time to waste. But the thing is, I'm sort of a perfectionist. So how can you expect me to leave it half done? Anyway, here are the pictures!

Can you see what it is?

Front and back

I made the back a little less complicated so that it won't look so messy. Overall, I still like the front design better but the back is also nice in its own way. What do you think?

It took me longer to finish the back because of its complicated-ness. Haha. All those screws and the place to change battery. I had to make sure I didn't close it up. Hey, I'm not that bimbo to sticker everything up just to make it look nicer but in the end, I can't change the batteries anymore.

Kinda messed up the finishing for the back though. Argh. Now, little perfectionist me will keep smacking myself in the head for making such a stupid mistake. Ah well. What to do..what to do. Curiousity made me finish it, so curiousity will be the death of me. =X

When I have too much time in my hands...

...what do I do?

PIMP my calculator, of course!

Ok, before you go thinking that I went and bedazzled my entire calculator in pink or something like that, I will tell you that I'd feel insulted if you did. Do I look like I'm the kind of person who would? (answer me seriously)

Well, my idea of pretty-fying my calculator is more like this:

My trademark for my design

So what do you think? Pretty? No? Whatever you think, I still like it. Haha. For those of you who have no idea how an ordinary Casio fx-570MS scientific calculator looks like, I wondered how you survived high school. Anyway, just google it. I don't have a picture of my calculator pre-prettyfied.

The theme of my design is music, if you didn't notice. I'm still wondering if I should design my entire calculator. Right now, it's just the cover. My sis said I should, and I'm still on the fence. What if it turns out to look super messy? (Or maybe I'm just lazy. Heh) But hey, it took me at least two hours to finish it ok. Not an easy thing to do.

Anyone interested to hire me to pimp their calculator? Only RM10. For the materials and the time I spend, it's really an offer. Haha I'm just kidding. I shouldn't be wasting any more time doing (silly?) things like this. Midterm coming soon. Argh.

Hmm, I just realised that I haven't done a post with pictures in a long time. Just boring, boring words. Bleh. I should put my camera to better use again.

On another note, I really really wanna DRIVE! Why? I have no idea. Just the thought of being able to drive gives me the adrenalin rush. Why did I have to be born in August? Why? =/

Ain't no fools in April?

I still remember the days where we looked forward to the 1st of April each year. We counted the days at least a week before. We planned pranks to play on our friends. We woke up on that day, making sure we don't ever forget that it was April Fools' Day although somehow, we always manage to get pranked. Playing pranks, getting pranked. Those were the days.

Somewhere along the road, we grew out of April Fools' Day. It was just another day - ordinary. Well, of course there still are people who take this opportunity to fool others but the numbers are getting smaller year by year. A classic example would be class monitors, whom I think never fail to play a prank on the entire classroom every year. This year, 5 Arif's monitor, Jonie, successfully pranked us by telling us our Maths teacher left us homework even though she was absent. She got as far as getting us to open our textbooks, pencils ready in hand and even pestering her to hurry up in reading us the pages. Teachers would be another example who takes this chance to prank students by having a 'surprise' test.

Ah, feeling somewhat nostalgic already. So, that's all for today.

Happy April Fools' Day

Were you a fool today?
