weather's sweltering hot as we near the top of summer, 'bout time i rip into the wardrobe for some shorts. Those Nike Woven Free 5.0's are feeling superb, wonderful welcome from the daily leathered soles.

Got lucky enough for a window seat at the removated joint at Paragon, overlooking the rest of Orchard. Love the wood panelled flooring and pebbled window edge, maybe i should copy it for my future balcony...

Probably not the best of choice for a 34degree walk under the sun, but luckily we avoided by hiding within the airconditioned confines of shopping malls. Didn;t turn out to be a good idea in the end: The GSS drew out throngs of folks from everywhere and it was like a walking contingent throughout the entire stretch of the shopping district.

Nike Dunk Hi Plus B (Stussy)
Grail of grails, still can't believe its finally in my hands (on my feet so to speak). Back in '01, i wouldn't have thought possible to even get within a whiff of the pair if i didn't show a couple bills. Thank heavens for hypedom for moving on to Yeezy's and what-not and letting an old fogey like me relive the good ol' days of butter-soft luxurious leather, premium snakeskin swoosh... Now on to the next grail! ;)

GDEH never fails to simplify simple things, the cut, quality and details just make it worthwhile. Perfect for summer

Headed off to the DaVinci exhibit amid the ridiculous heat and venue packed with kids on their school vacation. Pity some of the exhibits were not very well taken care of, as well as some so-called "guided tour guides" with disastrous Singlish spoiling an otherwise pretty nice way to spend a weekend afternoon. It was a treat to view the Mona Lisa given Pascal Cotte's virtual cleaning treatment with his 240million pixel camera, and see it the way Leonardo intended. The man is truly a genius, heres a lovely quote:
"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out nd happened to things"
