Flyer-protege-alicia-kurt-Lavar-noods

Copped the pic while in my uncle's mini van last week. 'Scuse the huge turn-ups on the denims, i didn't even had time to alter them properly. Hmm, that reminds me, gotta head down to Johnny's shop sometime to get it done. 2nd pic is of the long-delayed Singapore Flyer project, viewed from the expressway. Sure seems to be coming up fast. For those interested, you supposedly could see up to Indonesia and far into Malaysia on a clear [haze-less] day, since its even taller than the London Eye.
Yeah, as you'd guess, our neighbours will have something to complain about yet again. Peep this nice read in the Economist for a change - yep, we like it, loud and proud

Protege

Caught The Protege on Saturday. From the dearth of good HK movies lately, i'd think its a good bet for the Golden Horse award. It's a pretty straight forward plot about undercover cops on a drug raid ala Infernal Affairs aka The Departed for Hollywood folks. And i guess you really can't mess with the tried and tested formula. I do wish for them to do away with the somewhat "sweet" ending where the proverbial "love conquers all" theme kicks in; they should've ended with Daniel Wu's Nick in a conundrum on whether to get sucked into drugs or the undercover world,that would be a nice parallel. All said, Andy Lau should get a Best Actor nod since he lost to Tony Leung for Infernal.

Popped by town real quick today to pick up a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for KK's housewarming gathering. I'm beginning to enjoy the dash of grapes lately, a nice chnge from the hard stuff.

Nexus7 "Alicia does it better"


Fresh off Tomohiro's blog, this tee is done for R*izm's anniversary. Lovely rendition ala Stussy's photo-print, and carrying on this season's "Kate Moss does it better" theme [anybody able to help me out with that one?], N7 brings out longtime print-fave Alicia Keys [besides Angie of course]

In case you missed it, here's the N7 x HP Boston. The size is perfect don'tcha think?

Devon Aoki for LevisLadyStyle
Love this set of print ads for Levis Lady Style featuring Devon Aoki


The Ladystyle closet in Shinjuku boasts a red carpet-like installation that gives customers a sensation of walking on a bed of roses, and the Kaleidoscope Room chaging area with mood floor lighting engulfing the room in dreamy lights, sights and sound.

Griffin reflect case

These Griffin tech cases "present a seamless, mirrored-chrome reflective face to the world -- until you wake up your player, and the brightened screen shows through the chrome as if by magic".
Plus it doubles as a vanity mirror! LOL

Laters!

Think i look quite like this Qee bear, hahaha. In any case, more greetings from my toys to ya. Yum Seng is what the Cantonese call a toast, and we sure have lots of those during our meals!

SoleObsession - Puma Clyde display

Yet another update in the build up to the gathering on 4th Mar, this time a sneak peek at the ultra rare display of Clydes. Peep the Doug E Fresh and Cash Money suedes: So rare and discontinued that its rumored that even the celebrities themselves don't even have them!

NB JP - RC576 [???]
This one caught me a little off-guard. The Japan exclusive set of 576 has been given the RC - racing comp treatment. Sleeker lines and outsole, and a revamped encap heel cap give the 576 a nice makeover!

a drop in time
Y'know, i've been slagging off the Singapore Post for a while now, with the ridiculous service [deliberately not delivering parcels to door] to the rude [i think my door almost fell from the incessant knocks/hammerings]. But whaddya know, for the first time in a while, my perception of them might be changing. The folks actually delivered today - a normally half-day at the office!
So now yours truly finally gets some brand new denims and tee to remember the years...
uncovering those days

This tee takes me back a few years. Of course, the UC connosieurs have their Intermissions, Madsaki, But Beautiful faves, but i seriously adore this print, the forebearer to the cutesy/insanely popular UC teddy Converse.
And its such a subtle play on the Radiohead logo[!], haha
