When the first time I bought i-phone few months ago, I was quite annoyed with the fact that I was unable to change its ringtone. Wherever I go, I keep listening to the same ringtone as mine because everyone is using the same phone. Yearh, Singaporean loves i-phone and Indonesian loves blackberry. Haha! If you have the same problem as me, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Prepare your tools and you can just modify it on your own without single cents. Let's cut the crap and follow the below instructions carefully to modify your ringtone on i-phone. Basically, you will need iTunes and your favourite songs. Does it sound simple for you?
Step 1
First of all you have to ensure that you're allowed to change the type of the music. *Go to "Control Panel" *Select "Appearance and Personalization" *Click on "Folder Options" *Click on "View" tab *Ensure the box of "Hide extensions for known file types" is unselected (very important to carry on the rest of the instructions at step)
Step 2
Open iTunes.
Step 3
Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
Step 4
Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
Step 5
Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
Step 6
Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
Step 7
Click the "Options" tab.
Step 8
Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
Step 9
Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40 seconds long.
Step 10
Click "OK."
Step 11
Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
Step 12
Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
Step 13
Click on the "Keep Files" button.
Step 14
Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
Step 15
Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
Step 16
Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
Step 17
Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
Step 18
Change back the "Start Time" and "Stop Time" to avoid the real song played at certain time.
I'm back!! Almost forgot the username and password to log on Blogger as I had abandoned my own blog for quite some time. And finally I decided to update it. Thanks to Irene, who left a message on my chatting board, asking me to update. Hahaha!
As what mentioned on the title, I've been taking a good rest lately, but not because I want to. It's because Singapore is cruel for some reasons. The story began last year when ICA distributed Singapore Permanent Resident invitation letter to some of the students in my campus randomly. Thinking that ICA would distribute the letter to everyone like what they did to previous batch DHTB 7, making me stay calm without worries.
Who knows that the letter would become very important to my life? I desperately finding many ways to obtain the letter but to no avail. ICA kept telling me that only company can help to apply employment pass for me in order to get PR. And now, I'm still waiting for it and have to stop working due to my expired student pass.
Instead of quitely sitting on my chair and facing laptop day by day, I've been very active to look for a room in which I'm going to stay with my Indonesian buddy, Henny. Last few days ago, also went to main campus, TP, to collect graduation attire. And soon, I'll be going to Hong Kong, using my own savings (proud)!! It's a 6D/5N trip to Hong Kong and Shen Zhen.
Will upload more news and excting photos when I return from my trip. . .

Fall under the spell of Samsung ST550
I initially knew nothing about Samsung ST550 until my friend, Evelyn, bought it. Yearh, I'm a kind of old-fashioned teenager, isn't it? For those who do not know what it is, let me tell you! o(^o^)o Samsung ST550 is the first and new model camera with front and rear LCD screen. It allows you to take self-portraits perfectly with 12.2 mega pixel. Apparently, there is one more product that has similar features as ST 550, called ST500 and it is also released by Samsung. The difference between these two cameras is the resolution. ST 550 has 3.5 wide touch screen LCD, meanwhile ST 500 has 3.0 wide touch screen LCD. There is no doubt that ST 550 is better than ST 500 and because of it, ST 550 is sold at higher price compared to ST 500. Does it sound amazing? No? Okay, I believe that you can search information of this stlylish product on your own, I just cut the crap by showing you more convincing reasons on why you should buy this camera too! Ouch. . .Sounds like an evil! Anyway, enjoy the video!
So, I'm no longer worried about taking self-portraits using my Samsung Jet S8003 which often cut my head as I can rely on my new ST550 orange! Yes, I finally decided to buy it today at Sim Lim Square after being hesitating for so many days. Before that, I really had unpleasant experiences to negotiate the price with the staff at both Funan and Sim Lim Square. Some of them obviously had no manners, no marketing efforts shown to sell their products, no product knowledge about the availability of their products, no skills to deceive me by taking away the original samsung pouch that supposed to be included in the carrier bag and so on! The most unaccepted behaviour that they did to me was saying "mei you huo le (no stock anymore)!" I heard that sentence for many times after we had agreed on the price. Come on, I spent quite some time to talk with them about the price and they just said "no stock anymore" easily. Once I heard that, I really showed my black face and just went off and I didn't bother to talk with them. What's the use of continuing our conversations? Am I mean? Well. . .you can imagine that my boyfriend and I spent half-day looking for the best price and we finally thought that we could buy it immediately, no more walking and negotiating. But. . .that kind of thought suddenly dashed off and replaced with an idea to whack the staff the moment they told me "no stock anymore!!!" If you were me, what would you do? But now, I'm extremely happy that I almost forget about those unpleasant experiences. Hohohoho. . .

I want a bucket of flowers!!!
It has been a very long time I never update my blog. Why? Because I'm too lazy and tired. I have to study from Monday to Friday and work on Saturday. As for Sunday, Sunday I leave it for doing assignments and projects. Thus, a lot of things happened in the past 2 months that I'm so eager to share here but I have no idea from where to begin the story. So just forget about it! Haha!
Last Wednesday, Irene brought a magazine to the class. And since I was sitting beside her, I was a little bit "kaypoh" to find out what kind of magazine she brought. Surprisingly, it was a kind of promotion of buying a bucket of flowers!! And that reminded me of Valentine! Yearh! Valentine Day is coming soon and happen on the same day with Chinese New Year!! I can't believe it! Parents are coming to Singapore to celebrate Chinese New Year with me and boyfriend also wants to spend a day with me on Valentine. But I've got a solution to overcome it. I'll spend half day with parents in the morning and half day with boyfriend in evening. Hahaha! Pretty smart, isn't it? Well. . .You better say yes!
So back to the topic! I found what I want inside the magazine. I never thought that flowers can be a memo too. What a creative way!

Celebrating great B'day with great people!!
I'm back with great stories to share!!! I have no intention to neglect my blog but I barely find some time to update it as my internship is still going on. . .
29 November is my birthday and it was my second time having it in Singapore. I had my birthday parties for 4 times with my family, boyfriend, buddies and colleagues on different dates. Though i spent a lot of money using my salary, i think it's worth to do so.
I kept telling myself that being 20 wans't that bad. As people get older, they will become more mature and independent. Below are the activities that I had done to celebrate my birthday:
With Family I woke up early in the morning to accompany my mother to Ang Mo Kio Hub and we proceeded to Redhill to have lunch at a Cantonese Restaurant. The place is quite far from the MRT station and since I was too hungry, I forgot to take photos with my family. Haha!!
With Boyfriend Being a good daughter and a good girlfriend at the same time is quite tough because you need time management skills to ensure both relationships are in balance. At night, I met my boyfriend to enjoy a sumptuous dinner at Jumbo Clarke Quay. The chilli crab was so delicious and mouth-watering!! He gave me a korean necklace that I saw at Far East Mall when I was shopping with him. Hmm. . .So observant!

A yummy tiramisu birthday cake from Bakerzin
With Buddies A week after my birthday had passed, I treated my buddies (Evelyn, Hendra, Henny, Martina and Mediaty) for a dinner at Mr.Curry, Clarke Quay, which is my ex-workplace. We went to take photos with Christmas tree at Central and Bugis, but none of the photos were successful, it was either the christmas tree couldn't be seen or the photographers took lousy pictures. So after several attempts to take proper pictures and felt annoyed, we decided to take neoprints.

With Colleagues It was first time having birthday party with my colleagues (Bee Yann, Hidayah,Liu Liu and Wan Jun) from Ops Base. I treated them for a dinner at Pasta Mania Bugis. We ordered a lot of food and managed to finish them up before heading to neoprints shop.
Last but not least, I finally bought a new phone to replace my LG KU990 Viewty with Samsung Jet. I will never purchase any mobile phones launched by LG anymore!!!

Lovely Notes
Do you feel frustrated when someone steals your favourite food from the fridge? You want to let everyone knows that certain things inside the fridge are yours, you don't want to let anybody touches your stuffs, etc. Below are the good suggestions that you can do :
This is really creative! I should do it too!o(^o^)o

Addicted to McDonald's Monopoly
I'm seriously oudated!! Never found out that McDonald has been doing its Monopoly promotion since one month ago. I just knew it today when I had my dinner with JX at McDonald's Liang Court. Honestly speaking, I seldom to go to McDonald because the menu is not appealing compared to KFC. But from today onwards, I guess I will frequently dine at McDonald to collect the game pieces. Hohoho. . .What a good marketing plan!
So today I ordered an upsized McSpicy as JX asked me to do so. He then explained to me that we could get more game pieces if we ordered upsized meals. The first thing when we sat down was not eating as we were so busy to paste the game pieces on the gameboard. Haha!
We were so addicted to the Monopoly until crazy! I teased him to take the game pieces left by a foreigner couple on the table and I never thought that he would really take them!! There was one guy who was sitting besides us witness his action and I was too embarrassed that I covered my face. It was a great experience though!! Haha!
What did we get today?
Ardmore Park and Holland Road (Green) Newton Road (Yellow) Robinson Road (Red) Amber Road and Bayshore Road (Orange) Farrer Road and Queenstown (Pink) Bishan and Ang Mo Kio (Light Blue) Geyland Road (Brown)
