Cables

Some time this year some idiot stole or forgot to return my Horizon Audio cable after a show. Either that, or I misplaced it and my house has a black hole somewhere… either way, I want that cable back. There is nowhere in Singapore that gives a lifetime cable warranty like Horizon or Whirlwind does. [...]

PRINT

So I’ve been buying issues of PRINT recently. It’s probably the most expensive magazine I’ve been buying on a (relatively) regular basis — $30 per issue isn’t exactly cheap — but I’ve been feeling that it’s really money well spent. I’ve been trying to get my head around the typesetting and page layouts behind them [...]

CMJ Day One

Rogan:

Jack Spade:

Watched Shiny Toy Guns (sucked) and Via Audio (rocked) today.

I Did Not Just Do That

Burberry:

Ferragamo:

I think they’re about the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn… but damn if that didn’t hurt the pocket :/ I think it’s a matter of getting used to it — if I can drop $1600 on a bass, why not $500 on a pair of shoes?
There was a Takashi Murakami dog tag at LV [...]

I’m Getting Tired of Writing Economic Recovery Titles

Zara:

Kenneth Cole scarf (I’m making so many brand compromises on this trip):

Still need to hit J. Crew… sigh

From 200 E 87th St

The view from my window (no Potatoshop!) — I can actually climb out onto some sort of open area; a sort of backyard for some of the tenants. Should probably take more photos and start bringing my cameras out with me.

Jbarks and the State of Economic Recovery

Urban Outfitters:

American Apparel:

Uniqlo:

Lucky + Armani Exchange:

I don’t care what anyone says about A|X in Singapore (ahem, K); over here the service is amazing and the jeans are unbelievably comfortable. Now I need to find a nice pair of stonewashed grey jeans… Levi’s just isn’t cutting it for me.

Stimulating the Economy, One Day at a Time

So today I met En (she’s studying at SVA now) for chills and eats. SVA single dorm rooms are damn small, that’s all I can say. Anyway — we walked around Nolita and the area near Madison Square Park and ended up buying these from a random record shop:

She got for herself a really nice Beatles [...]

Perfection at 35000ft

Dawn breaking while flying over clouds above the East China Sea. The photo really doesn’t do it justice, though. It’s the most I can do with a 2-second hand-held exposure :/

Verbatim

Makeup artist on Sunday morning: “Are you taking the photos in your glasses or without them? You have very nice eyes.” I don’t wear my contacts because I think my eyebags are horrible, but whatever floats your boat…
 
We just completed a shoot for Youth.SG with Joakim Gomez the other day. I have no [...]

240

So I probably should type this out while I’m being completely honest due to an alcohol-induced major lack of judgment right now:
I want to get out of Singapore. It doesn’t have to be right now — it can be in a year, two years tops (maybe a year so I don’t have to take my [...]

Semester 2

In April 2004 I did a shoot with Ernest and Shawn near my house — there was a drainage area behind… some sort of alley. I went back there again this evening and it looked different somehow, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Hrm.
