Happy Birthday Mr. Garry (Kelly)


After our dinner at Teru Sushi Zen Dining. 

Happy Birthday Garry !!! Today was my best friend's birthday and he would like to keep it a low profile celebration (not sure if I posted this considered a low profile). We had a good dinner with dozen of one dollar oysters and a special made "Sushi Cake" at Teru Sushi.

Best wishes to my brother and hope that he can find good ways out of life as well !

Meanwhile, I would like to share one proverb that my girl friend has taught me yesterday as well. I will named it the best quote for today !

谣言止于智者,愚蠢在于谣传
只有足够智的智者才能止住谣言




Flashback - Photo of Green Field Beside Serangoon NEX



This photo was taken about 3 months back while I was standing on the top floor carpark of NEX. The parcel of land next to NEX has been empty for quite sometime since NEX opening, but there wasn't any news on development on this piece of land at all. Wonder what will be happening next ? Residential or commercial ?

Correct Images Sizes for Different Social Media

I believe that when anyone was excited to update his or her social media profile picture or page after a incredible photoshoot with your beloved girl friend, you find it hard to adjust the correct length, width or height of the photos that fits into that small window.

Supposedly, it takes only 5 minutes to complete the simple task but it drags almost the entire afternoon just to get the alignment right. Is any facing this problem ? (Hands up please !)

Definitely, like anyone that is viewing this post at this moment, I had my difficulties and thought that it will be good to share these information which I have found from the internet. I will only briefly touch on the general dimensions so you might have to read up a bit from the respective links.

Below are a list of social media which I have found to have the solutions to your problem.

Facebook Page



Want to have your logo sitting nicely in the centre and background picture with the optimised settings just like I did for my Berishiok spa blog ? I have found out from one of the PagesSizesDimensions Facebook Page that has been updating the changes that Facebook are making on their pages design. Below are the latest changes made.

The optimum size for profile image and background for facebook page. (Note this picture is not to scale).

Profile Photo: 180px x 180px.
Cover Photo: Width: 851px x 315px.

Most of the other details can be seen on the image above.

Google+ Profile & Page

Although Google+ does have their own support page, but I think it will still be quite difficult to understand without any pictorial aid. I searched through the internet and found David Coleman Photography who provided a more comprehensive explanation of the Google+ Profile & Page image settings.



Profile Photo: 120px x 120px
Cover Photo:1080px x 608px. (aspect ratio of 135:76, very close to 16:9) This is the ideal size, for smaller size you can use 480px x 270px and largest is 2120px x 1192px.

One of the important point that David Coleman pointed out was that Google+ applies pretty heavy compression to the JPEG photos for the cover photo, it will be the best that an PNG-24 image (.png format) is uploaded. Just take note it might take a little while longer to load the pictures for some users with slow connection speed.

Hope that this post is beneficial to those searching for a solutions.
