10 most amusing selfies of all time
Selfie = A self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. [Wikipedia.org]
With Microsoft preparing to unveil its Lumia 730 “Selfie Phone” and other players like Sony, OPPO and Lava also cashing in on the selfie phenomenon, all eyes are on IFA 2014. Indeed, it will be interesting to see what the manufacturing giants will unveil at the biggest tech show in Europe this week.
Meantime, in conjunction with this narcissistic craze, here's a tribute to some of the most amusing shots of all time. IMHO. From creative selfies and failed wefies to funny dogfies, catfies and other amusing animal self-portraits - these are my top 10 favourites. Have a smiley day ahead! Hehe. :-D
#1: The OMG selfie
#2: The classic wefie
#3: The tipu punya selfie
#4: The failed selfie
#5: The "effortless-underwater" selfie
#6: The "are-you-nuts?!" selfie
#7: The professional selfie
#8: The "look-ma-no-hands" selfie
#9: The photobomb selfie
news.com.au
#10: The "what-the-..." selfie
So which did you like best? :-D

This is what I have to live with
This week, my #babybaby and I attempted to record an unboxing video. Attempted.
Those who know my husband on a personal level will agree that he's got quite a bit of funny in him. This shoot, he decided to be generous and share a little of that funny with us. On camera.
I find it quite refreshing to be honest. But then again, it's my husband. So I'll probably still say that he's the best looking man alive, even when he's fat and wrinkly (although I secretly hope that it won't both happen at the same time). Anyway, this is what I chose to live with for the rest of my life, and I have absolutely no regrets. #marriedlife #ilovemyhusband.
Meantime, looking forward to your input on some travel suggestions! Don't worry, it doesn't have to be according to our bucket lists. We welcome all ideas!! Hehe. Happy watching! Mwah mwah! xx
X-rated lessons I learnt
Those who know us well enough will concur that #babybaby and I are one of the most boring young couples you could ever find.
Well, for starters, we’d pick home over a night out, movie in our living room over the cinema, bottled water over any form of alcohol, shopping for gadgets over clothes. Perhaps that’s why we ended up marrying each other. *laugh* Perfect, right?
I believe we can actually count the number of times we’ve been out to the movies with 10 fingers. Or less. This is over 2 years, mind you. So yes, we have a lot of catching up to do.
Last Friday we contributed one more finger to our movie counter through a date with the mutants via the highest-grossing film in the X-Men film series. Besides the fact that it raked in USD310+ million in just the first seven days of release, I must say that this seventh installment in the X-Men film series left quite an impression on me, a layman.
X-Men: Days of Future Past.
While I leave the proper review of this engaging movie to the X-Men purists, I’d like to share 6 powerful leadership lessons I learnt from Charles Xavier during my 131 minutes with the mutants. :-D
Logan, I was a very different man. Lead me, guide me, be patient with me. -Charles Xavier
Always be remember and be grateful to the leadership figures in your life who chose to see past your immaturity and focus on your potential, making you the leader you are today; be it at your workplace, your social circles or even your home.
I’ve been trying to control you since the day we met, and look where that’s got us. I have faith in you. -Charles Xavier
There couldn’t be a clearer definition of management vs. leadership. Leadership 101. Are you a manager who tells people what to do, or are you a leader who nurtures and empowers others?
Enough ripples and you change time, for the future is never truly set. -Charles Xavier
Never discount the small things that make the big difference. Every decision you make today will affect your future. Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.
“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.” –Vincent Can Gogh
Your best is enough. Trust me. -Charles Xavier
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress as a person or a leader, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying. Remember also, that when values are clear, decisions are easy.
The greatest gift we have is to bear their pain without breaking and it comes from your most human part, hope. -Charles Xavier
Leaders are dealers in hope. As a leader, your job is to keep hope alive. Never give up on the people you love, no matter how unlovable they might be at times.
“The man who can keep his focus on what he wants can achieve it without feeling the pain it took to get him there.” –Dennis Devader
Just because someone stumbles and loses their way, it doesn’t mean they’re lost forever. -Charles Xavier
Failure is never final. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come. Like John Maxwell once said, “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”
Thanks for reading! Have you watched the movie and are there any lessons or quotes you'd like to add? :-D
You're gonna LOVE this genius invention! Hehe.
Okay, this is totally random; but I'm having so much fun with this new toy that it would be so selfish not to share. Lol
If, by the time this video ends - you're still unable to grasp the concept of this "THING" - there's a picture right at the end which should help you visualize. Haha.
Thank you #babybaby for this brilliant buy. I wouldn't have thought about it on my own. Haha.
I dedicate this to all who are bold, brave, creative and fun. Enjoy!! :-D
"How's Married Life?"
It's been awhile since I uploaded my last unboxing video. Blame it on wedding preps, work, etc. (excuses, excuses, excuses...)
So post-wedding, now that we've pretty much settled in, I decided to make an effort to get back in the momentum of video uploads. Next, there was the BIG question:
What should I buy and unbox this month?
Side track a bit. Since we got married last February, we kept getting the same questions over and over again - "HOW'S MARRIED LIFE?", "WHAT'S CHANGED?" - so much so that I thought of just answering them once and for all (so you're NOT allowed to ask again or I'll have to 'ketuk' [Malay for "knock"] your head!
*calms-self-down*
So. Tying it in to this month's unboxing, here are the answers to your million-dollar-questions. If you're a newlywed like us, you'll understand. *solemn-nod*
Contacting the Toothfairy
Some of you may remember that I wrote a letter to the Toothfairy...
I was feeling a lil' under the weather...
...so I decided to go and see a doctor and he gave me this.
