cyberjayayes, we’ve made one!

Posted by xgabing

Sunday 2:30pm — at cyberjaya, slightly drizzling outside; cool weather.

2:34pm: an idea to make our own lighbox popped out! So here we go.

  • one Antonius frame ~ RM20, we bought this about 2 months back from IKEA Damansara (with the bag) Oppss.. that was Sarah’s laundry bag that became the victim. Only needed the frame, so the bag has to go.
  • 4 pieces of white flourescent bulbs (we use 4 because each is only 8Watts, we need to have at least 15Watts on each sidelightings) ~ 4 x RM12/each = RM48.
  • 4 pieces of white strawboard panel ~ RM6.50/each, from Tesco Puchong
  • cable ties (you can buy one bag from Tesco outlets, maybe about RM0.10/pc but Tesco actually sells this in a big packet eventhough you’ll only be needing about 40 pieces to tie the strawboards on the antonius frame)
  • Total cost ~ RM150.00
Frame for the lightbox
Sarah’s antonius laundry bag was the victim! The frame was just perfect at W38xD35, H67cm dimension. The bag has to go :( 8Watts white flourescent lightbulbs.
The white background is the strawboard.

You’ll just need to affix all the strawboards onto the 5 sides of the box frame: you’ll need cable tie for this. Fix two flourescent lights on each sides of the box. Once all is fixed, you can then use a white paper as the background. And here is the final product.



And muffin too.

Total time taken: slightly over 1 hour.

Results?
You’ll be the judge.

cyberjayaRunny NOSE

The next time you’re having runny nose, grab a marker pen and think before you sniff it ** Read warning lines below.

Well, I did so. Sniffing a marker pen will help stop that mucus oozing out from your nose every few seconds. Not sure how it does it; but being able to supress the mucus production from the nose glands and sinuses; thats enough and I am happy!

Of course, I made sure that the permanent marker is non-toxic and xylene-free; be safe!

Xylene when inhaled can seriously affect the central nervous system, increase liver enzymes, and irritate eyes/nose/throat. Other effects of Xylene exposure can include: headaches, light headedness, loss of co-ordination and loss of consciousness. So sniff responsibly to your own body :-)

WARNING:
Sniffing inhalants that can get you high may lead to substance abuse.

Kopisanangan.
