Testing Testing One Two Three

Hi just testing the ipad. I want to know if I can upload photos using this magical little device. Actually, I am using a loaned iPod touch not an ipad hehe sorry for lying.

Apparently, I can't add photos in it. But, it's okay because I ca give you a link. And the reason why it doesn't allow me to add photos is because compose mode is not supported.

Stupid Irritating Flyers

I always hate those stupid flyers that I get from the mailbox or the front gate of my house. They are just messing up the my space and environment. All of my next door neighbours get the flyers too so it is not only me who suffers from the problem of flyers. When I am at my mailbox, each time I open it, I can bet you that there will surely be a handful of ugly looking flyers and they are mostly related to property. A few year back, there was this problem of locksmiths sticking their small locksmith stickers on my front gate of my family's house. And each time I want to peel of the stupid sticker, it will leave a residue. Now, I still see them but not that regular. Now it's just the problem of flyers.

If you don't know what's a flyer, great! It either means that your house isn't littered with them or you just don't know the meaning. Actually they are just small pieces of paper with an ad printed on them. It's as simple as that. Plus, it is a cheap form of advertising. You just print the ad with the specific-cut piece of paper and just chuck in it a flat's front gate. Not only houses and mailboxes, you can even see flyer distributors at most MRT exits, bus interchanges and shopping mall entrances. They just distribute stacks of paper just like the one found on your front gate and mailbox. Come on people! How many of us would wanna just respond to a flyer?

If you are running a company that uses flyers as a form of cheap advertising, you are making a complete mistake. Lots of flyers get discarded, and lots of them may be taken from the flyer distributors themselves but eventually the flyers will get discarded. If you are using this form of advertising, you are also wasting paper and trees. People would also think that you are a cheap company for using such form of advertising. Companies should just stick to conventional advertising and/or be creative with advertising.

If you are reading this, please give your views and opinions about how flyers are irritating to you in the comments section. Thanks for visiting PaperFRENZY and I'll check back with you next time.

(Weekly Brochure) DIY Phone Pouch

In this video, I will show you my collection of all the brochures I have collected from several shopping malls in the period of six months. Since this week's Weekly Brochure is all about phones, I have decided to just show you all the phone brochures that I have collected. At the end of the video, I will show you how you can make your own DIY phone pouch

(VIDEO COMING SOON)

The phone pouch at the end of the video may not look like a pouch from a  professional phone pouch manufacturer but it is still good enough to take a beating. So whenever you are out and about, get yourself a pair of scissors and tape and two A4 brochures and try doing this when your phone is on the verge of tears after getting abused by Mr Concrete.

Step 1: Wrap The Phone

First and foremost, take two brochures and put them side by side in landscape mode. Tape the two together in this position. Put your phone on the left side of the big piece of paper and wrap it just like what I did in the video.

Step 2: Secure The Bottom

Fold the bottom of the wrap and tape it securely. Cut the top just like what I did in the video ans make sure you leave a flap.


Step 3: Insert The Top Flap

Now with the flap on top, insert it into the pouch or secure it with velcro. Your phone is now fully protected. (Although the pouch is ugly)

To do this, you just need two A4 brochures, a pair of scissors, tape and/or velcro. The velcro is optional. After making it, I am sure you will be happy with your phone's protection. Once you are happy, why don't you paint it? You can even add stickers onto it or you can draw on it! Don't forget to take a picture of your very own homemade phone pouch and also give me ideas for upcoming Weekly Brochures.

The Paper Pak

Sick and tired of reading the same book everytime? Are you hungry and want a quick snack? Want an effective way to kill time? Introducing the Paper Pak. It's a bag that contains lots of great goodies for you to fill up some spare time, have a quick snack and quench thirst. It will cost you around 15-20 Singapore Dollars. The only way to own it is to make it yourself and I'll show you how in today's post.

Newspaper/Magazine/Book

One of the classic ways to entertain yourself on the go is to read a newspaper, magazine or book. All those crisp clear texts on a book, colourful pictures on a magazine and informative news on local and worldwide issues will sure to keep you entertained. If you are lucky enough to have all three, great! The more the merrier!

Sketch Book

Whether you suck at drawing or not, drawing is also considered as entertainment. So do yourself a favour by picking up a sketch book and a pencil and draw something that interests you. Make sure what you are drawing can be seen by others. Don't make it too small and don't make it too big. Additionally, make sure you know what to draw. It can be the beautiful scenery at the park or if that's too difficult, you can proceed to a shopping mall and draw out the storefront of your favourite store. Just draw to your heart's content.

Printing/Coloured Papers

Did you know that a single blank piece of paper can entertain you too? Just get yourself a bunch of blank or used A4 printing or coloured papers or both and keep it in a file. Whenever you're bored, get a piece and make some origami with it. You can print out some origami guides from the internet if you prefer. So use those guides as reference and make some origami with it!

Snack And Beverage

Everyone will get hungry and thirsty at some point of time. With all those time killing, I am sure you will too. So be prepared with some snacks and beverages. You don't have to stick to oil-laden foods. You can get yourself something nutritious such as cream rolls, high fibre crackers, bananas, french loaves, wholegrain rolls or freshly baked almonds. To wash it all down, let me suggest to you bottled water, bottled green tea, canned sugar-free drinks or canned fresh juice. Now you can keep that hunger at bay without feeling guilty.

To top it all off, get yourself a small carry bag or backpack and keep everything in it. With the Paper Pak, you can read the newspaper, magazine, book, draw out the beautiful scenery in your sketch book, make some origami and feed yourself with a nutritious snack and quench your thirst with bottled water all in one portable carry bag. Let those creative juices flowing adding more items you like to put it in. You can even decorate the bag of your very own Paper Pak. Oh and don't forget to snap a picture of your own homemade Paper Pak and send it in to me! I'll see you next time and have a wonderful day!

Stress Relief with Paper

Stress? Everyone feels stress thanks to work overload and exams. Oh by the way, today is my birthday. Now I am 15 years old and i love it! Hope you can give me a wish too! Anyway, back to the topic, stress can lead to all sorts of problems. Too much stress gives you heart diseases, depression and the worst of all, death. It may sound stupid but it can actually lead to death. Now that you are sitting on a desk, it is time for you to take out some pieces and release the stress out of you. What you will need is a 2 blank pieces of paper, an envelope, a paperbag (you can get it at any fast food restaurant such as Burger King) and square pieces of paper. Lets get started with stress relief RIGHT NOW!

Write An Angry Letter

The number one stress giver is your employer or your teacher. They really wanna make you explode and raise your blood pressure. I know this because I'm a student myself. They always pile on work for you, they make you angry, they always want you to be perfect even though nobody's perfect and a lot more. So what you should do is to take a piece of paper, and write an angry letter to the stress giver. Go ahead and put in vulgarities and make your stand! Now, after you have written the letter, fold it into the envelope and secure the envelope. Now the trick is not to send it off. You have written and make your stand already and I can bet you that you are already feeling good. What can you do with the envelope now is that you can just keep it away and never let anyone see it. Or you can just burn it away.

At a glance, write an angry letter to the person who always give you stress and talk bad as much as you can. After writing, put it inside the envelope and keep it away and burn it. Now you feel much better after cursing and bad mouthing. A little warning. Do not bad mouth the person in real life. You will have the risk of losing your job and make you get into trouble. Just put it on paper.

Tear Up A Piece Of Paper

Got another blank piece of paper? Great! Now I would like you to take a pencil or a pen and draw a funny face of the person that is currently giving you stress. It can be the person you wrote the letter to or it can be another person in your life that is giving you stress. Okay now I want you to write the person's name with an ugly font. Done already? Good. With the piece of paper, stand up and tear up the piece of paper with full force and unleash your anger and fury. You can also crumple up the paper or step on the paper and do all sorts of violent things to the piece of paper. Use your imagination and pretend that the piece of paper is the person that is boiling your blood. Don't forget to throw the remains away though.

Just to summarise everything, you can also vent your anger with another method by tearing up a piece of paper that represents the person that is currently giving you a lot of stress. Hopefully that will make you feel a bit relaxed now.

Paper Bag Relief

Get a paper bag from a any fast food restaurant and consume all the content in it. What is the purpose of having a paper bag? You can use the paper bag to inhale and exhale into it so that you can make sure that you are not feeling stressed out so much. After just a few seconds, you will feel much better as you have taken a deep breath and cooling yourself down. You can even do this without a paper bag by just breathing in and breathing out using your diaphragm.

Just because you are feeling stressed and angry, that does not mean that you should just let it be like that. You can write an angry letter, act violently towards a piece of paper or even breathing in and out. Make sure you just do this to yourself and not towards the person that is giving you the stress. You could land yourself into trouble by doing this. Hope that you can appreciate this post and I'll be uploading pictures and videos as soon as possible. Thanks and goodbye!
