Raya is over….pocket is almost empty….. now, have to look who would like to donate for the next Raya plan…. changing the tiles may be……lol Usually, tile is the preferred form of flooring for kitchen and bathroom. Suitable tile will enhance the kitchen and bathroom beautifully.   When choosing the tile consider where it is going to go….to the floor….or to the wall etc.   Glossy tile is more suitable for wall and may not be safe for flooring. Here I share several tips in choosing the perfect tile….(this can be my personal view only): Glass tile...modern and young...suitable for backsplash and bathroom Before select a material, you should decide what surface the tile will be applied to.   Tile can act as a backsplash, or on the wall located underside of the upper wall cabinets. Tile is a popular countertop material too. For kitchens, best materials would be from stone like granite, vinyl, ceramic, porcelain and glass.

"as it is" or "to edit the photo"

Few of my friends have asked the following questions: Why we need to edit the photo? Why don’t we just print the photo directly from the camera without any image editing? My answer is simple, “it is up to you”. My personal view on any image that I captured is that, if the image by itself did not carry any strong story or beauty in composition then I will edit them so that I can highlight what is interesting in the image. If the image has a strong story and level of beauty then I might just crop the image or print them as it is. Usually, these types of images have excellent composition and colour tone which is partly due to the camera settings. As such before you capture any image, plan in your head how you want the image to be at printing. Get some ideas from magazines, books, flickr or even your friends that have similar interest. Then try to set your camera to achieve the aim. Redang Island Terengganu....with minor saturation editing How much is too much in editing? No exact
