† Customizing A New Year Scrapbook Planner †

It is pretty simple to make your own scrapbook planner and it can be a meaningful gift to someone you care about. Collecting the sources to customize your own planner can be difficult but imagining how your planner going to be like is even harder. Its gonna be pretty simple to make your own planner by referring to the steps shown below.

How To Make A New Year Scrapbook Planner:

STEP 1: Collect some unwanted box. These are good to be used as the hard cover of your planner.

STEP 2: Measure and cut the box to make the front and back cover of the planner, make sure it fits the size of A4 papers.

STEP 3: Wrap the box pieces with any nice color papers.

STEP 4: Design your planner hard cover with your imagination.

STEP 5: Get a stack of A4 papers and design their contents. The contents may include monthly calendar, notes or some interesting cards.

STEP 6: Punch some holes across the hard cover and the A4 papers.

STEP 7: Circled rings can be used to bind the hard covers and A4 papers together.

STEP 8: Design and decorate the pages using your creativity and imagination.

STEP 9: Decorate the side of your planner can make your planner look lovely.

STEP 10: Completion. Taa daa... Here we have a planner.

Add-on For Your Planner:

If you're making a planner for someone as a Christmas gift, perhaps a handmade pop up Christmas card may be lovely. (Source: Robert Sabuda's Christmas Card)

This is my version of pop up Christmas card. With the additional white color paper on the Christmas tree, it gives the tree a snowy appearance.

† The Rise Of Padini †

Padini may sound Italian but it is actually not. It is a homegrown company brand operating under the Padini Holdings, which has a mission to be the best fashion company (in Malaysia? in the whole world?). Padini sells ladies shoes, accessories, children’s garments, maternity wear and other fashion products and clothing and the co-brands including Vincci, Padini Authentic, P&Co, PDI, Seed and etc.


The stock market of Padini has been doing very well for year 2009 and as you can see from OSK's chart, the stock values keep rising at the very beginning of year 2009.


1 year of indicator may not be sufficient although it is showing a bull trend.


As for a 5-year view of Padini's growth in volume, we can see its doing pretty well.


I'm not pretty good in analyzing all the values but the 2008 reported annual earnings was 0.32 per share for a total of 384.6M which sound quite promising.


Will Padini continue growing in the coming year? We're not pretty sure because some experts claimed that every rise will definitely have a fall. However, I'm pretty sure that Padini will be able to do well in future.

† A New Beginning †

At the very end of each year, people often look back at what they've done. At the beginning of a new year many wonder whether they have the time and energy to accomplish their goals in the coming months. We're reaching the very end of 2009 where 2010 is just right in front of us and its going to be a new beginning soon.

† A Magical Christmas Movie: A Christmas Carol †

Disney's "A Christmas Carol" is an animated retelling of Charles Dickens' classic novel. This is a great film to watch during Christmas season. Its a simple but very meaningful film. What impresses me the most is its Christmas soundtracks and thank God I've owned all the songs now.


The story goes like this: Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter old man who is selfish and keeping himself nasty to everyone around him for years.


During one of the Christmas eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, who is now forced to spend his afterlife carrying heavy chains forged from his own greedy ways.


Marley warns Scrooge that he will suffer an even worse fate if he doesn't repent, and foretells that he will be haunted by three spirits that will help guide him.


The first spirit who visits him is the Ghost of Christmas Past, a small ghost made of fire, shows Scrooge visions of his own past that take place on or around the Christmas season, reminding him of how he ended up the greedy man he is now.


The second ghost is the Ghost of Christmas Present who laughs most of time, shows Scrooge the happiness of his fellow men on Christmas day.


The third and final spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge the final consequences of his greed.


Because of the three Christmas ghosts, Scrooge begins to realize how most of his life has been wasted because of wealth. Ever since that day, Scrooge has changed to become a nice and loving old man.

† Merry Christmas Dear All! †

MAY LOVE be the angel that watches over you.
MAY JOY be your very best friend.
MAY WONDER always find it's way to your door step.
MAY THE BLESSINGS of the season touch your heart and fill your soul.
MERRY CHRISTMAS dear all my friends, colleagues and family members.

Sincerely from Keat.

† Jesus & Terminator: The Best Story Ever Told †

"For unto us a child is born..." Year 0000 Bethlehem, Jesus, the son of God was sent to earth to cleanse the sins of human, and to die for mankind.

This is a creative and funny short video clip (movie trailer by MadTV) about the Terminator trying to save Jesus from being crucified.


In the video clip, you can see how the Terminator talk to the three wise men and Jesus, killing the soldiers and Judas like nobody's business. One of my favourite part is when Jesus trying to convince the terminator not to kill people.

Jesus: You cannot go around killing people!
Terminator: Why?
Jesus: Because its one of God's commandment, thou shalt not kill.
Terminator: Why?
Jesus: Because its a sin.
Terminator: Why?
Jesus: Because its not nice.
Terminator: Why?
Jesus: .... Forgive him Father, he's a robot from the future.
Terminator: ??? *Looking at the sky, trying to figure out who Jesus talking to*

† Christmas Memories With Mr. Bean †

Christmas is coming soon and I'm sure those who are born around the 70's and 80's will never forget Mr. Bean's Christmas episodes.

UNFORGETTABLE SCENES

Mr. Bean preparing Christmas gift for his teddy.

Mr. Bean doing shopping in the mall and playing around with the toys, directing his very own version of 'Baby Jesus Evolution'.

† Animusic: Computer Animated Music †

Animusic is an American company specializing in the 3D visualization of MIDI-based music. The initial name of the company was Visual Music, and it was changed to Animusic in 1995.

The company is known for its Animusic compilations of computer-generated animations, based on MIDI events processed to simultaneously drive the music and on-screen action, leading to and corresponding to every sound.

Unlike many other music visualizations, the music drives the animation. While other productions might animate figures or characters to the music, the animated models in Animusic are created first, and are then programmed to follow what the music "tells them" to. 'Solo cams' in the

Many of the instruments appear to be robotic or play themselves using curious methods to produce and visualize the original compositions. The animations typically feature dramatically-lit rooms or landscapes.

There are many good music produced by Animusic and one of the best that I liked the most is 'Pipe Dream' and 'Pipe Dream 2'. Other good music are 'Future Retro' and 'Drum Machine'.
