Inventing My Own iPad Application for Maxis

Meet Patchi Botchi, the brainchild of mine if to invent an iPad app for Maxis. The name Patchi Botchi does not mean anything specifically. I just want something that sounds catchy haha.



Basically, this app is for people who are tired of their wardrobe malfunctioning or people who just don't get dress codes such as smart formal, smart casual etc. You'll save a whole lot of time if you have this application because it thinks what to wear for you.

Firstly, you need to create an account. The second step is a little troublesome cause you have to input information of the clothes you have into your iPad. Once the data is stored, you don't have to do it again.

After logging in, it looks something like this.


Just key in whatever information you have


Click submit and tadaaaa~


Scroll down..scroll down


There will be three suggested coordinations for you to choose from. Once you've decided which coordination you would like to use, click on it and automatically it will be saved into your Look Book. You can also browse your friend's Look Book and get a rough idea what will they be wearing. I'm sure you don't wanna end up wearing the same outfit as your friend!



Anyway, do you know that iPads are now available through Maxis? Check out Maxis' Data Plan for iPad

This is an entry for Inventing My Own iPad Application for Maxis. Contest ends next 17 January~ Who knows, you might be the lucky one to win an iPad! Hurry and participate!

It takes one to tell one

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been sick and buzy for the past few days. It started from last Monday. My attempt to make a strawberry shortcake failed very epicly.


the cake did not raise properly


so I transform them into this

When I was washing up all the baking utensils, my shoulder and leg felt funny. Its like there's this thread/string/nerve? connecting the shoulder and leg and that string was being pulled very intensely. Felt dizzy and almost collapsed. With all my strength I ran up to the nearest room to get some rest. I was breathing very rapidly. I think my brain was probably effected as well? Haha it didn't cross my mind to just lie down at the sofa which was so much nearer compared to the room.

Down with fever that night. Then sore throat the next few days. And then cough, followed by a complete voice loss. Thank God my family was able to sort of understand what I was trying to 'say'. My sister was like "this is the time you should speak in Kansai ben"(Kansai ben is somehow very easy to understand even though you don't speak the language) And then Monday, I had food poisoning. Like seriously? One year worth of sickness took place in one whole week.

I'm much better now, just a little cough and sore throat. So don't worry~~ hee

Say it ain't so, Joe！

Oh my God! You see, I'm currently on semester break and I don't have an intern or part time job. So I was thinking, I should do something for the house. Besides experimenting with new recipes, I should also not limit my territory to cockroach/bugs terminator and electrical appliances. Since I've downloaded a couple of HQ music video, why don't I try adding some songs into the karaoke machine. It comes with a manual so it shouldn't be that hard right?

I followed 'How to add songs 101' step by step and everything seems ok. Restarted the machine and YES, something went wrong!! Apparently, a whole lot of data has ben 'replaced'. Sheeeeeettttttttt. Suddenly I felt like that kid who broke the vase but didn't dare to tell his mum.

But I called my mum anyway haha. She said that it's alright. We have to learn things through trial and error. I was so relieved or maybe its because she's in her office? but still AHHHHH. So much for being experimental. Think its gonna cost a couple of hundred Ringgits for that.

On another note, there's this guy who keeps burning stuff behind my neighbor's house. Naturally, the smoke will fly over to my house and honestly, it feels like my life was cut shorter because of the smoke. I think he was burning some kind of plastic stuff that produced some really pungent smell. The poor laundry that was dried at the back garden..instead of being fresh and all, it smells like it just came back from a barbecue party.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours

No idea why that song *points at title* has been stuck in my head for a few days.

Puzzle

I think there's some kind of time bomb planted inside my head. Everyday when it reaches about 2 or 3PM, it will go off.

Anyway, took my JLPT yesterday and I'm finally test free for the year! The after effect of JLPT was really bad. More like the LRT trip back from the test site to home la. Haha all I wanted to do is sleep!

After the test, it made me wonder a little. Will I be able to stay on until N1? Will I be sitting for the N1 paper three years later? For now I'm determined but in the future I don't know.

Lunch today is cake and muruku ikan. Even my maid protested how 'cincai' I am when it comes to food. She said to me "if there's biscuit, you'll definitely eat biscuit right?" Haha its not that I'm lazy or what. Its just that when I'm at home, eating anything is fine as long as I don't feel hungry. Once a while I cook too, but its no fun cooking for myself.

Oh baby baby

Whee results was released yesterday and thank God, I did better than expected. Everyone from my family was shocked when they saw my results. including me 1 distinction and 3 highly distinction! The unexpected subjects somehow scored higher than the ones that I want to do well. I manage to bring up my GPA a little bit but next two semester is gonna be a tough one. I have two writing subjects that are like the black hole of the Arts faculty. Need to do even better.

Oh ya, I went to the Japan Embassy the other day. There was this WANTED poster pasted up in almost every corner of the embassy. It's very disturbing. Couldn't sleep because the image kept playing in my mind. My bad for Googling those people.

Harmony of December

Happy December! In about 4 weeks and we'll be in 2011 already!
It's been about 3 weeks since I started my semester break and there's still a whole lot of things to do before 2010 ends. Results coming out on Friday, JLPT this Sunday, Visa application, study maps, my holiday research topic, video project, need to go swimming etc. Yosh! One last dash, sprint to the end.



Super generous serving of curry sauce! haha it looks dilute but the taste is not dilute at all. Its's rich, but not so rich that you won't feel like eating curry for the next few months.
