Yves Saint Laurent

2008-07-29T04:49:00.000-07:00

I know how late this is, but this is just a tribute to one of the legends in fashion.

Besides being one of the people who shaped fashion to what it is today , and saying the infamous " fashion fade, style is eternal."

Heres one more wise quote from him...

"The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves. But for those who haven't had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there."

- Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent (Aug 1, 1936 – June 1, 2008)

Castle-stay

2008-05-12T19:29:00.000-07:00

The types of accommodations i know varies from hostels, farm houses , hotels , motels and resorts. Today i was watching my favourite tv channel .. Discovery: Travel and Living , and a new one sprung up.. A castle. What a dream-come-true for everyone of any age.. Now the thought of living like a king or queen have just became reality.

Featured on the program was the castle named Thornbury

more pictures can be found here.

I came to know that there are a handful of these types of accommodations around europe, so next time you have the urge of being a king or a queen or even a princess.. you know where you should stay

Increasing prices

2008-04-28T06:24:00.000-07:00

As days goes by...we are dumbfounded with the rapid increase in the prices of rice and petrol. This is quickly becoming one of the biggest problems in the world lately. With the turmoils and unrest in the middle east, looks like we should all start using the subway and buses.

Alcohol and pizzas are a great mix.. throw in a few of your favourite friends and that would do the trick for a perfect monday night!

Terminal 3

2008-04-28T04:56:00.000-07:00

There is something about the airport that really attracts me. I've worked there for 5 months and i still can't get enough of it...

So there it was , the newest addition to the airport.. the much anticipated Terminal 3. Standing there in all its glory directly opposite the second. The premier terminal had much to offer including well known food joints and shops.

Time off

2008-04-14T02:16:00.000-07:00

Okay so having a feast wasn't the only thing i did on the day off.. I went to the newly built Flyer and suprisingly there were not many people. In fact, we enjoyed the entire cabin to ourselves.

From the looks of it, the view would be so much better at night. Well , someday i would be back.. and get a glimpse of the city lights at night.

It was shopping right after The Flyer!.. and we headed straight down to our favourite shopping place.. A narrow lane near arab street..

PARTEH TIMEEEEEEEEEEE

2008-04-13T21:43:00.000-07:00

Finally some time to relax.. I was granted a day off and here is how i spent it..

mmmmmmmmmmmmm............

and to satisfy my sweet tooth...

talking about sweeth tooth, i'm going to create a post on how much sweet stuff have i eaten over the past few months.. just to remind myself that i should stop indulging on them.

If you love the works of Ann Demeulemeester , share the interest for cubism or fans of the new age "ninjagoth steez" ,you would like to check out the new season of CON ( Chronicles of Never 08)

I've been a fan of Chronicles of Never for about a year now, and i have always loved their accessories, and this season their clothes seems pretty promising. If you are wondering whos the man behind this, its Australian born, former Ksubi designer Gareth Moody.

Guilty Pleasure?

2008-03-16T00:01:00.000-07:00

I have to admit.. i have a new guilty pleasure. It comes in a form of a tv series.. no not Heroes, i'm done with that.

Gossip Girl

Well.. I know how the title sounds.. but trust me, if you're someone who adores the finer things in life and take interest about the scandalous lifestyle of the rich and famous, this is the show for you.

Basically, the show is about a group of socilaites from manhattan ,their sophisticated lifestyle and the elite private school they go to. I have to mention that the clothes they wear and the parties they go to in the show are totally mind blowin'

i know how snobbish this may look, but the show is definitely more than meets the eye.

well at least someone here shares the same sentiments as me on the show..

2008-03-13T04:36:00.000-07:00

Well, nothing much have changed besides the amount of rainfall and perhaps my hairstyle?

New year also means new clothes and new accessories..

Just can't wait to wear them.

This is Kamenashi Kazuya from Kat-Tun( the j-pop band). What i'm interested in , is his shirt. Anyone knows where i can get a similar shirt like his, please do let me know.

Goodbye 2007 Hello 2008

2008-03-12T06:34:00.000-07:00

2007 ended with christmas celebrations and countdown parties..

hahaha good times..

Looking back at the trips ( Australia )

2008-03-03T10:56:00.000-08:00

My last vacation for the year is Melbourne, Australia. I've been here a couple of times. Unlike the busy and hectic Hong Kong Life and the late nights in Macau, i would say Melbourne is the total opposite. Things here are pretty relaxed and calm. Shops normally closes at around 5-6 pm in the evening, which is considered early compared to the asian way of life.

Here are a few snapshots taken in Melbourne

The Australia King parrot... i was expecting something more 'Royal' . Nonetheless, still beautiful birds.

A view from Melbourne's City Tower, quite similar to the one in Macau.

The empty streets..

Kangaroo Steak with red wine sauce. Not for the faint heart.

Journey to the Twelve Apostles

Explanation for their expressions: Strong Winds. I actually did see a couple of caps getting blown off. Hilarious!

That's the reason why i'm holdin firmly on to mine... hehe

Looking back at the trips ( Macau )

2008-03-03T09:34:00.000-08:00

Just a 45 minute boat ride away is Macau. Once a portuguese colony, now it has every right to deserve the nickname "Las Vegas of the East" Another city that doesn't sleep and is alive 24 hours , 7 days a week.

Ruins of St Pauls

A View from inside Macau's Sky Tower... It stands at 338m.

In Macau ,when the sun sleeps , everything else comes alive... Bright Lights , Slot Machines , Gambling Tables and Night Clubs.

The Grand Lisboa

The Venetian

Looking back at the trips ( Hong Kong )

2008-03-03T03:44:00.000-08:00

Apart from Europe, another interesting place to share is Hong Kong and Macau. Visited them both twice in 07, and they were very memorable.

Hong Kong 2007

Tsim Tsa Tsui.. Just one of my favourites. A must-come everytime i'm here.

Unforgettable memories, includes unforgettable meals.

2 Reasons why i love Hong Kong: It's basically just shopping and eating..
and
Eating and shopping.

High Tea @ The Landmark

Sorry, don't mind me. But, i just had to include these. Happy fun times.

Looking back at the trips (2)

2008-03-03T01:57:00.000-08:00

Okay, so there i was at one of the famous fashion capitals of the world, Paris. I've heard so much talk about this place, and it was exactly how i imagined it to be.... Stunning.

Some parisians might think that the Tour Eiffiel ( Eiffel Tower ) is just an eye sore or a plain normal iron structure that survived through World War 2, but i beg to differ.

The atmosphere around the tower at night is to say the least, phenomenal. I left my camera back at the hotel room, and i'm still regretting it up to this day. But thanks to Simple Dolphin on Flickr, i present to you the Eiffel tower at night.

the actual url for this picture would could be found here.

I bring to you the remarkable gardens of the Versailles palace and all its beauty.

I'll upload some scans from the magazine i bought on the Versailles.

Note: It's just the gardens, wait till you've seen the interior of the palace. Awestricken

Arc de Triomphe

Today this remarkable monument is the center of the world's largest traffic roundabout. If you are ever considering driving around the roundabout, i wish you good luck, unless of course you are a skilled driver unlike me.

The Arc de Triomphe also marks the start of Champs Elysees, which is one of the most famous streets in the world. Don't mark my words, but i think on this very street stands the largest dior and Louis Vuitton store in world, which is shown below. This is truly a shopping paradise.. If you can afford of course.

Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpieces ,The Mona Lisa ,The Virgin and Child with St. Anne , and the Madonna of the Rocks, just one of the few world famous paintings held in this museum. Also, they are the names of the paintings which are featured in the Dan Brown's Bestseller, The Da Vinci Code. When i told you i was a Dan Brown Fan... I was'nt lying. I had to come here.

Looking back at the trips..

2008-02-29T22:20:00.000-08:00

My first trip back in 2007, was the unforgettable euro trip. It was like a dream come true. I've been a fan of Mr Dan Brown since i read the da vinci code, and have always wanted to visit the places mentioned in his books, and see for myself if they resemble what i have imagined.

Coverage of Europe:
Italy
- Vatican City, Rome , Tuscany Region , Pisa , Florence , Greve , Siena , Venice and last but not least fashion capital Milan.
Switzerland
-Lucerne, Engelberg , Berne , Interlaken , Zermatt Region , Geneva , Swiss Riviera
France
- Paris

I have to apologize , i don't have a good camera and good phototaking skills.

The Vatican City, Rome.

Touching the feet of St. Peter in St Peter's Basilica

Vatican museum

Sistine Chapel. Micheangelo's Last Judgement.
At 65 years old, Michelangelo started to carry out this project.
What a genius i must say! The interpretation, illustration, and how every single part of the
altar wall tells a story. Masterpiece!

Chillin with the peeps at the Spanish Steps, Rome.

Jumper, Gladiator... both these movies share one thing in common. They
feature one of the most recognized roman architecture.. The Colosseum.

Here we are.. at Venice..

Italy. Fashion Capital , Milan

Some shots in Switzerland.

Breath taking isn't it?

The Matterhorn

Pardon the reflection, the photo was taken in the bus

Look back into 2007 ( Part 2 )

2008-02-28T00:11:00.000-08:00

Our past determines our future.. That is why the past is worth talking about and why history lessons are important.

Here is the continuation of the previous post. Don't worry its nothing about world war 2 or hitler.

Ann Demeulemeester Mens 07

She is a genius when it comes to dark , goth fashion and NEVER disappoints. The asymetric cuts are lovely.
I'll let the pictures do the talking.

One of the must gets for 2007 are these Ann dem necklaces! OOOHHHHH i'm so in love with them. They were sold out when i was in Hong Kong last year.

07 also saw the likes of numerous other designer labels like Lanvin, Number (N)ine , Raf Simons and so on, which will be discussed and featured later. Enough of runway stuff for now.

A look back at 2007

2008-02-27T21:27:00.000-08:00

If i could turn back time, 2007 would be a nice year to be back in.

A peek back into 2007 , and the memories and images that remain.

The beautiful faces and the inspiring clothes:

Ok so it wasnt started in 2007, but we see a significiant increase of people wearing skinnies and pointy shoes due to heavy influences by rock/indie bands. Perfect examples of how you would want to look like if u're into the skinny look. Beautiful... just beautiful.

Fedoras/Trilby anybody ?

Oh yeah, bright colored skinnies.. mmmmmmm nice!

Lets move on..
the last 2 runway shows for DH under creative direction of THE legendary Hedi Slimane.

07S/S "We looked good together"
I'm totally in love with this white safari jacket!! Its one of my favourite pieces for this collection.

Nothing fresh.. but still good enough to mention

Autumn/Winter 2007/08 "Navigate"

The signature item , the overlapping belt which is featured on almost every model seems pretty cool. I have one, but i've not tried it on yet.

Looks like it won't be soon that we'll be seeing him on the runway. He'll be missed, i'm sure. I've already seen dozens of "Bring back Hedi Slimane " quotes all over the net, after seeing what KVA had done to DH.

Introduction

2008-02-27T07:02:00.000-08:00

My first post, which most likely would serve as an introduction.

The idea for a blog came up to me when i was on a flight from Paris to Singapore back in June 07. It sprang to me on how short life is , and how the little things in life affect me in so many ways. I'll blog about the finer things in life.. as days goes by..
