Penny pincher in the making? No~ Im not~ I'm just a poor college student who can't afford to splurge. For me to eat and get around my "durian forest", an allowance of 300-400 SGD per month is barely enough . On top of that, I need to pay for my tuition fees.. Save up for my long awaited graduation trip (which is not so soon).. Replace my "helicopter" sounding laptop... Otherwise known as~ I need more pocket money syndrome!! $$~

In my previous study post I've mentioned about how you can turn your commuting time into a productive one by using a text to speech online reader. And some have asked me whether if it is possible to read an image file or pdf document. The answer is Yes~ But! In order for the reader to perform text-to-speech translation you'll first have to convert your pdf/image file into a flat text file using an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software~ So what is Optical Character Recognition and its uses? OCR is a type of character recognition technology that is used for translating images or pdf files into pure text document. The algorithm will scan, detect, differentiate and convert characters to plain text at an efficient speed. The extracted text can then be used for various applications: Data Mining and text mining  Text to Speech  Language translation (who needs an interpretor, I want my カレーライス)  Assistive tool for Blind and visually impaired  ...

For some odd reason XP <--- it kinda looks like the emoticon with eyes crossed and tongue sticking out~ XP has remained as one of the more popular OS (operating system) for several years due to its stability and performance. However for those who are still using XP is time to say good bye~ Yes~ Microsoft has officially announced that XP will be retiring on April 8 2014. Windows XP will be killed off next month by Microsoft! :(

No time to read? Why not convert your reading materials to speech audio and downloaded to your mp3 player. I am college student myself and I understand that most of you might not have much free time on hand to do your reading. This is especially true for those Commuter/Part-time Students who have to manage both their work and studies at the same time. While you're not in the office, not you only have to deal with the family responsibilities but also your preparation for finals. Waa~ So Many Things To Do So Little Time ..  Where Got Time~ An octopus has 8 legs 3 hearts But you! only have 4 limbs one heart. Aww you poor thing..

Mind map is a graphical visualisation technique used by many to simplify complex concepts. It can also be used as a tool for brainstorming. Drawn with a main idea starting from the centre, mind map usually radiates outwards as more comprehensive subtopics were being build upon. The more informations it has, the larger it gets~ Kinda looks like the neuron structure of a human brain - networks of braincells connected by the extending dendrites from each cell body. Fundamentally there are 3 primary reasons to how and why we use a Mind map: Innovate -  Problem solving/Brainstorming. Specifically engineers and designers they love mind maps and have been using it for don't know how many donkey's years. Mind maps allows them to quickly visualise the different aspects of situation, giving them a clear overview of what they are working on. Some schools/students even include brainstorming as part of their creative pre-writing process. Planning - Process mapping. Makes underst...

You might have heard before Printer ink is one of the few expensive liquids in the world. What fascinates me is that it actually costs more than your blood. Yes its price value is higher than human blood! OH MY! Since Im a college student I'll need to get my lecture notes printed out at least once every other day. If I could just donate my blood to this money sucking machine I'd probably save up a few hundreds by now. And don't you ask me to go paperless,  having hard copy study materials at hand is much more feasible, especially if I were to take my notes.

Yeah~ bought myself a new shiny mug today! Due to my mishandling, my mug always has to be made from either plastic or metal. lol Hmm.. somehow it has got this big ugly label stuck on it. New Metal Mug I'll just have to remove it.. Not long ago I've tired some soaking recycled mason jar in hot water.. but it doesn't work that well for me. That is because the adhesives used on these labels are not water soluble. Sticker area often remains sticky.  When I use a cleaning scrub to scrub away the residue, the green little fibres fell off and got stuck on the adhesive surface. A pretty messy process which I regretted doing... eek.

Some bloggers go all the way to have their date stamp removed. If you are thinking of doing so ~ my advice to you is to keep it. I dont encourage anyone to hide their posts' dates away from Google. Why? you might ask. First of all nothing is evergreen in this world.. If somebody tells you that his/her niche is evergreen- that's bullshit!

Hihi A quick post for the starting month of lunar new year. Been busy lately with school stuff and some other worthless things which I don't wish to mention.. Anyway Today is the 7th day of Chinese new Year.. also known as 人日 (ren ri which literally means Human Day)

I was reading about info-graphics on the web the other day and manage to stumble upon this. Have always loved word art: calligraphy, ambigram.. etc If you like word art and collage , you would probably like this. Being able to form word clouds from a paragraph of text can be very fun and useful at times, especially when you want to have a quick understand about the words density, the frequency of each word, by the means of colours, shapes, size, font type etc. Here I have a six online free word cloud generators that allow you to create your own word collage.

Academic essay writing is never an easy task. Yeh. I am talking about those laborious rules and rigid guidelines that everyone has to follow while writing any formal report. Format, styles & citing references Generally there are 4 different types of styles being used worldwide - namely, APA, MLA, CSE and Chicago. Depending on the subject you are writing for, one has to follow a specific set of standard guidelines . ie. MLA format is generally used for humanities writings, APA for social sciences, CSE for scientific/research papers and Chicago for "real world" publication.. Apart from the headings, sections and subsections formats, components of the refereed sources are to be citied in different order and as well. This is the part that I usually find it troublesome and time consuming. Sheesh.. Going through each of the reference line carefully, rearranging the authors' names, year of publication etc..  Making sure they are in good order before I can tur...

Yeah~ It's another new school year for me~ I presume that most of you have already started your classes. Now, most universities would have their course schedules put up on line and only a handful would offer printouts to their students.. Mine doesn't :( therefore it has become a routine for me to make a personalised timetable at the start of every term . Although we are living in the technological age I still prefer my class schedule to be in hard copy. Imagine rushing up and down the hallway searching frantically for your classroom. Tried to access the internet but failed to connect to the school's weak wireless network. Yes! that has happened to me before! Believe me. It's not a pleasant experience when you have trouble accessing the school's blackboard . That is why I always have a printed reference copy with me. For those who are too busy lazy to build or source for an excel template, like me, you can try to make your own college class schedule o...

Spaghetti with salmon wasabi avacado A new School term has started~ let's whip up something nice for my "rusty" brain today. (Rusty, it may seem but I've been brainstorming for topics and wacky ideas almost every other day) This is a simple to make brain boosting ( booting ) healthy recipe specially catered for hardworking student like you and me~ I came up with this recipe one hungry afternoon. You'd probably not find this weird fusion dish any where else. It only takes me half an hour to make.

Back as a trolling tool to evade spam filter, ASCII art is the oldest and simplest from of computer text art or some would say typewriter art. In the recent years ASCII art has become a common sight in the social media. And if you are an avid user of YouTube, you might have already seen Bob. Who's bob Hi I'm Bob the annoying ASCII character who appears every now and then in the YouTube comments. <---Meet Bob (the builder) who builds his own army of spammers. This cancerous Bob has been proliferating uncontrollably since the integration of YouTube and Google+ took place. Bob's rebellious intention is understandable.. with Google is forcing everyone to get a google plus account is no wonder why people get so agitated. (First it was blogger's commenting system then now youtube...) However, in my opinion, inconsiderate spamming of comments in any social media is just as absurd. Google is not going to do anything.. if they want.. they could j...

Known by many as the shoppers' paradise, Singapore has at least around 250 malls and centers. Its no wonder Singaporeans next most favorited pastime is to shop (other than being a glutton). Since festive season is drawing near.. let me ask you.. Where do you think is the best place to get your latest cheap deals ? Bing-bong! You guessed it. Is the net! Concrete stores retailers do not always offer the same promotions as to what they do at their online stores. Reason is because online shops are cheaper to run, they dont have to bother much about their rent, electric bills and some other overhead expenses compared to a shop front business. And is not surprising to find plenty of hot deals, coupons and discounts sites around here.

Having AWESOME business pitching skills and gift of the gab is not enough? Looking for something better than powerpoint? How about livening it up with a dazzling animated slideshow. Turn your creative business ideas into an interactive presentations. Or perhaps you are a student? a teacher? Wrecking your brain everyday just so to make your presentation as engaging as possible. Ah-.. I still remember those days where I have to sit though hours of presentations daily. The minute I set my eyes on one of those hypnotic slideshow my mind just venture off into the la la land to fight the Z monster. Everybody knows that a bad powerpoint presentation can be boring and dry, what makes matter worst is when someone customised their slides' design with those dull premade templates of Microsoft. (facepalm) and then reads directly off the slides words by words. I might as well get a natural voice text reader , it could probably do a better job. Doesnt matter who you are, entrepreneur, ...
