Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw are always on the top of list when it comes to creating scientific models for journal publications. These software can be expensive. Especially when designing isn’t part of your main business and you only need occasional graphical illustrations.

Below is a brain illustration that I have created using inkscape.

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!! $$~

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...

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...

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, ...

I've always been fascinated with collage artwork. Be it text ( word collage ) or pictures. Long gone are the days where we need to do all the manual cutting and pasting. Now most photos were digitally edited and kept as a digital photo book. Some of you may be wondering how your friends are able make these wonderful photo montage on Facebook or Photobucket? How were they able to put several pictures into one image? Did they use some kind of digital photo editing software like Aperture or Photoshop? Well, I doubt they did~ Because using such programs to create image collage requires a good amount time and skills. You'd probably need to read though a few photo editing tutorials before you can do anything. The easier method is to use an online collage maker software. Not only it allows you to piece multiple photos together and create wonderful shapes of images, they often include a few customizable collage templates which you can play around with. Best of all~ no download...

Flash card, possibly one of the most useful learning tools around. Don't you agree? Remember the time when you were just a little toddler.. your parents waved these weird big animal/fruits picture cards in front of you. Yes! that is flashcard learning. See I even have my own "flesh" card example to show you lol Bet you'll never forget how a mangosteen and durian looks like.  

As some of you know my school term has already started. Has been always a pain for me even just to draft up my research papers outline. Afraid that the articles I wrote couldn't pass the authenticity check. No. I don't I cut and paste. However sometimes is really difficult to churn out a 100 percent original assignment when there are already so many well written papers out there. Some schools and universities are using paid popular software like turnitin for plagiarism detection. What about some of us, students or maybe even teachers, who cant afford to pay for software? How to check our papers for originality? Are there any other free alternative tools?
