日本商店-Daiso

二零一零年一月十七日
今天本想去盛港新开的咖啡店兼湿巴杀吃午餐，顺便参观那里的湿巴杀。可是到了盛港却找不到那间咖啡店，只好到附近的购物中心吃午餐。饭后到二楼的日本商店买一些东西。梅买了一些洗头用品，我买一个方形的日本碗和一条磁铁带。我用那方形的碗来储藏我的假牙，而那磁带却用来挂一些常用的小工具。

风水

最近小儿要结婚，他已找到了屋子，正想要装修。我没想到他竟然去找风水师来看他的新屋，还接受他的建议。有几点我不同意风水师的说法
1 大门不可对储藏室的门，
2 屋内的拉们 不可以大过 前门，
3 天花板 与地砖成为天罗地网。
1。 根据 华人的风俗来说 大 门是 不可对后门。因为财会由 大门进而从后 门留出，也就 是说会漏财。但是所有政府组屋 是没有后门的， 所以不必担 心。再看新加波所有的三房式组屋的 大门都是前门对着厨房的门。这不是说所有住在三房式组屋的人 都会很倒霉 吗?
2。所谓风水的风，就是说屋子的空气要流通。 把厨房的门改为大的拉门，在没有煮饭时可以把它打开让屋内的空气流通，应该是好的。新加波那些千万元的大洋楼都有阳台，在阳台后不是都有一扇大的玻璃拉门， 此门不是比前门来的大。所有点式 的五房组屋也都设有大的玻璃拉门。如果说屋内的拉门大过 前门 就是风水不好，那么那些豪宅的风水都是不好?所有点式 的五房组屋的风水也都是不好。
3 把 天花板方形设计与方形的地砖说是天罗地网。那么那些有钱人的睡房都装有豪华的蚊帐，此不说他们每晚都睡在天罗地网内。有些购物中心的天花板与地砖也不都是方形的。这些购物中心的风水也都是不好?

Use Photoshop to fix red eye

Sometimes you may find that some photos you have taken have red eye. It s due to the reflection of light. There are several methods of fixing the red eye. I like to use "Layer with Apply Image" method. because it is easy to apply.
1. open the photo with red eye, control-click the photo then control-shift click again to add a white new layer.
2. Duplicating the photo layer then use circle selecting tool to select the red eyes.
3. Click(Image)(Apply Image), from the window display select channel and choose one colour(either red, green or blue, it depend on the black and darkness you think is more suitable.) then click "OK".
4. Click (Select)(Inverse) to inverse the selection, then click delete button to delete the surrounding parts.
5. Flatten the layers, the photo's eyes are fixed.

Editing Photo

Selecting an image from a given photo needs some methods and skills. I have discovered a simple and easy way to select an image from a photo by using layers.

Step 1 open a jpeg image then duplicating a layer, control click this duplicated layer.
Step 2 Click on (Image)(Adjustments)(Level) set the input to 30.
Step 3 Click on ,(image)(Adjustments)(Brightness/Contrast), set the contrast to +20.
Step 4 Use Polygonal Lasso Tool to trace the outline of the image.
Step 5 Click on the background layer and choose (Select)(Inverse) to inverse the selection.
Step 6 press the delete key to delete the unwanted parts.
Step 7 Open a new photo which I want to put the selected image on to it.
Step 9 Press control-A keys to select the photo and press control-shift keys to create a new white background layer. Click the white background layer and create a new transparent layer above the background layer.
Step 10 Move the selected image to the newly open photo, use free transform to scale down the size of the image.
Step 11 Use layer mask to do some adjustments of the image then flatten the layers. The new photo is created.
