Selfie = A self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. [Wikipedia.org]
With Microsoft preparing to unveil its Lumia 730 “Selfie Phone” and other players like Sony, OPPO and Lava also cashing in on the selfie phenomenon, all eyes are on IFA 2014. Indeed, it will be interesting to see what the manufacturing giants will unveil at the biggest tech show in Europe this week.
Meantime, in conjunction with this narcissistic craze, here's a tribute to some of the most amusing shots of all time. IMHO. From creative selfies and failed wefies to funny dogfies, catfies and other amusing animal self-portraits - these are my top 10 favourites. Have a smiley day ahead! Hehe. :-D

My parents are Malaysians, and although they come from very diverse ethnic backgrounds (mum is Kelabit and dad is Chinese), they seemed to have some pretty quirky unifying behavioral traits. I’m not sure if I can enlist them as typical to “Asian parents” per se (your feedback is most appreciated), but these were some of the things/practices I grew up with. Welcome to my childhood.
p/s: Mum/dad, if you’re reading this, I love you veeeeeeery much, so please don’t take this the wrong way. :-D
Apparently, the further the geographical distance, the harder it is for the person on the other line to hear them.
Question of the day – “Have you studied yet?” Anything apart from studying is unacceptable and a total waste of time.
Holiday? What holiday? Tuition = A way of life.
In your report card: A = average, B = bad, C = crap, D = die, F = there is no such thing. Oh and if you don’t get at least an A for Mathematics, you are a disgrace.
“Finish your food”, “Don’t waste your food”, “Do you know how many children out there don’t have food to eat?”, “Eat first”, “Eat now”, “Eat while it’s hot”, “EAT!!!!”
Oh and plus, your food will always has rice in it, no matter what. Maybe that's why now, I can't live without eating rice at least once a day.
So how many of you also grew up with the rotan (cane) for discipline, Tigerbalm as a solution to most things, and a piano/organ in the living room? :-D
Although some reach it earlier than others, the plan is to get there eventually. Here are 20 signs that are a good indication that you’ve grown up.
1. Your relationships are less dramatic than they used to be
2. You are a lot calmer
3. Your health appears to be important to you
4. You’ve raised your standards
5. You have a higher tolerance towards your parents, and make an effort to spend more time/stay in touch with them
6. You have fewer friends, but the ones that you spend time with, are real
7. You have no time for trivial stuff
8. You’re not bothered about what people think of you
9. You are able to focus on the solution, rather than stress over the details of a problem
10. You are not afraid to ask for help
11. You are not afraid to admit that you are wrong
12. You choose to be more positive
13. You’ve accepted what you can’t change and change what you can’t accept
14. You are no longer bitter about your exes
15. You appreciate your time at home
16. You are able to celebrate the success of others
17. You are able to turn jealousy into fuel for success
18. The phrase “Stupidity is not a handicap” makes sense to you
19. You often begin sentences with “Last time…” and “When I was younger…”
20. You gain weight with ease. Even breathing makes you fat
Growing up in a rather strict Christian family environment, my siblings and I were granted minimal access to TV and radio. At that time, “internet” wasn’t even part of our vocab, so as kids, our form of entertainment included:
The “rope” is woven by rubber bands and is used to challenge one’s ability to jump over it, as the height gradually increased with each successful attempt. Not recommended for people with hairy legs.

I believe this was a universal form of entertainment for most children born before the 90’s and requires no further explanation.

Better known as “batu seremban”, the idea of this game is to flick one stone up while sweeping as many of the remaining ones before catching the stone that had been flicked. A quiet game of balance, speed and agility. A variation of this game uses tiny square rice pillows instead of stones.

A border is set and players aim to hit their opponents’ marbles out. A non-violent game of strategy and accuracy.

Sure, there was a host of other activities that proved to be truly amusing to us back then (waaaaaaay before the age of iPads and touch-screen phones). I remember playing with fighting fishes, flying home-made kites, congkak, jumping ropes and my ultimate favourite…

…playing badminton over the house gate. Classic.
As you’d probably guess by now, TV was a treat; and even more so when you have your church Pastor as a dad. A disciplinarian at that, mind you.
I remember having a 30-minute daily allowance to sit in front of the TV. That meant that I had to choose wisely. Very wisely.
You can imagine the dilemma I faced as a child, when my favourite shows like MacGyver, Nightrider and Airwolf were showing on the same day as cartoons like Voltron, Care Bears, Jem and Thundercats.
Then there was Transformers. Remember this?
This is a must see for all my older heads who no about the original cartoon
Now that was the Transformers I grew up with. #nostalgia
In 2007, thanks to Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg, the first live action film of Transformers was born. Every 2 years since then, a new installment to the movie was introduced, bringing us to Transformers: Age of Extinction, released 12 days ago.
Despite being the worst-reviewed film of the franchise, Age of Extinction still proved worthy of some valuable leadership lessons.
In this movie, our all-time hero – Optimus Prime – proved that great leaders create loyalty, so much so that an Autobot actually said,
A few of my favourite quotes from the movie:
At times, we tend to misinterpret valuable advice from leadership figures as rules, especially when they prevent us from acting according to our impulses. Never do something permanently foolish because you are temporarily upset.
In life, if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything. Successful people willingly do what unsuccessful people are unwilling to do. Don’t be afraid to push yourself to extend the boundaries of your capabilities.
Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come. We are destined for greatness. However, that path to greatness requires effort and effort is only effort when it begins to hurt. Don’t give up.
Stop talking and start doing.
"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." -Eleanor Roosevelt
Let me know what you think of the movie! Meantime, have a wonderful day ahead super people! Thank you for inspiring this post!
This week, my #babybaby and I attempted to record an unboxing video. Attempted.
Those who know my husband on a personal level will agree that he's got quite a bit of funny in him. This shoot, he decided to be generous and share a little of that funny with us. On camera.
I find it quite refreshing to be honest. But then again, it's my husband. So I'll probably still say that he's the best looking man alive, even when he's fat and wrinkly (although I secretly hope that it won't both happen at the same time). Anyway, this is what I chose to live with for the rest of my life, and I have absolutely no regrets. #marriedlife #ilovemyhusband.
This is what I have to live with. Every day. For the rest of my life. Lol. #ilovemyhusband. Special note to #babybaby: Thanks for making me smile every single day. I love you. xxx More pictures and blog posts on http://hannahtan.com Follow me on Facebook: http://facebook.com/hannahonline Twitter: http://twitter.com/hannah_tan Instagram: http://instagram.com/hannahonline
Meantime, looking forward to your input on some travel suggestions! Don't worry, it doesn't have to be according to our bucket lists. We welcome all ideas!! Hehe. Happy watching! Mwah mwah! xx
Okay, this is totally random; but I'm having so much fun with this new toy that it would be so selfish not to share. Lol
If, by the time this video ends - you're still unable to grasp the concept of this "THING" - there's a picture right at the end which should help you visualize. Haha.
Thank you #babybaby for this brilliant buy. I wouldn't have thought about it on my own. Haha.
I dedicate this to all who are bold, brave, creative and fun. Enjoy!! :-D

It's been awhile since I uploaded my last unboxing video. Blame it on wedding preps, work, etc. (excuses, excuses, excuses...)
So post-wedding, now that we've pretty much settled in, I decided to make an effort to get back in the momentum of video uploads. Next, there was the BIG question:
Side track a bit. Since we got married last February, we kept getting the same questions over and over again - "HOW'S MARRIED LIFE?", "WHAT'S CHANGED?" - so much so that I thought of just answering them once and for all (so you're NOT allowed to ask again or I'll have to 'ketuk' [Malay for "knock"] your head!
*calms-self-down*
So. Tying it in to this month's unboxing, here are the answers to your million-dollar-questions. If you're a newlywed like us, you'll understand. *solemn-nod*
Since we got married in February, the million-dollar-question we keep getting is, "HOW'S MARRIED LIFE?" *sigh* Hope we answered your question in this video, together with this long-due unboxing video. I love my new toy BTW!!!
Some of you may remember that I wrote a letter to the Toothfairy...
