Baskin Robbin's

It's Merdeka Eve tomorrow and what better way to celebrate than to spoil myself with some ice cream! I am thankful we live in a multi cultural nation that does not have the turmoil which exists in some other countries that  are constantly at war, chao's or suffer from the wrath of nature.

In Malaysia we are a multi cultural nation that makes us unique with only Singapore being the other country that offers similar diversities. I mean we celebrate Christmas, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Deepavli among other ethnic holidays together as one. It's exactly these cross culture integration that continues to attract and amaze tourists who visit our country. I hope that our various ethnic groups continue to grow together for the betterment of the nation rather than degrade into chaos, anarchy and hatred which we can see exists in other countries.

Anyways, last night, I headed over to Baskin Robbins to treat myself to some ice cream and ended up buying Two Quarts worth of ice cream. Baskin Robbins is currently offering 31% discount as Merdeka Celebration promo from the 29th-31st August so, go grab your ice cream quick! There was a crowd when I arrived and I ended up choosing Pralines & Cream and, Chocolate Cookie Dough for the first Quart. For the second Quart I chose Strawberry Shortcake and Love Potion #31. Needless to say, last night was ice cream bliss for me. Go grab some and enjoy the long weekend folks!

Instagram Sunday

Hi Everyone,

In this modern era, I am glad to have been able to watch and experience how technology has changed through the times.

I remember a camera was a luxury when growing up and it was like a luxurious essential that every family owned a camera. To capture important moments was the reason. There was no digital cameras back then, mobile phones were something that came attached to a backpack. People used pagers.

The camera's most people used were compact 35mm camera's. The film of choice was Kodak, Fuji, Konica and Agfa films. Each roll of film could give you about 32 pictures and cost like quite a sum. You could not afford to make mistakes cause unlike digital camera's, film capture permanently. After finishing the roll, you would then have to make your way to a photo studio to pass the film to the shop so that they would be able to process and develop out the pictures for you.....yes, pay again.

Today, photography is available to most people. You have camera's on computers and on almost all mobile phones. With smartphones, digital photography and editing can produce stunning photo's with a SLR or DSLR and, for free. I have fallen in love with Instagram (http://instagram.com/), a photography application for the mobile phone. I use it on my iPhone to snap anything and everything under the sun and then to edit and post it up for friends and family to see. It is genius and now everyone can snap great pictures!
