Watch & Listen to This
Electro Pop-Art with a nod to her Caribbean roots. I find inspiration in the 80's-esque bold choice of colour and graphics. And yes I do realize this video has been around for months. It's just that it took a bit of time for me to appreciate her work.

Rhandom
People are burning hell notes left and right. Large piles of notes printed with amounts amounting to billions of Ringgit? Dollars? Hell-ish Currency? Why are they called hell notes. I'm an optimist. I call then heaven notes.
And the fact that we mortals 'send' billions and trillions of Heaven Currency to the dearly departed can't help but make me wonder how high their rate of inflation is. I bet it costs close to a billion to get a decent meal.
And while we're on the issue of burning, am I allowed to just burn a single 'Heaven Cheque' as a means of sending the money up there. We would waste less, and pollute less. If people are willing to modernize and burn unusual things like clothes and credit cards and cars and electronic gadgets, they can probably just substitute all that with the burning of a single piece of paper.
I'm not against the burning ritual, I'm just trying to push it in a better direction.
When I go, just send me a cheque.

Home Life
Life at home has been pretty mundane but I'm absolutely happy with the way it is. In the past three years, college has been keeping me pretty hectic so, this sudden drop in activity is somewhat startling. However I will admit to longing for a creative outlet in which to express myself. I had previously expressed myself through my assignments and so without them, i'm trying to give myself little projects and things to do as an effort to prevent myself from going brain dead.
I baked an apple pie, and served it ala mode:
I tried my hand at dying fabrics, but i'm convinced that the instructions on the package is lying to me. What was supposed to be "Desert Sand" came out looking more like "Sloshy Mud Pie".
On a side note, I've just decided to experiment with more natural dyes. Hopefully it's not colourfast.
I've also taken an effort in spring-cleaning. Many items from my room have been disposed or donated in a not-so-orderly fashion. Downsizing never felt so good. I'm also dreading the day when I have to start giving away some of my clothes as well, because they are just taking up too much space and I simply can't demote a t-shirt into pajamas when I already have like 10 t-shirts which are currently serving as pajamas. If I could, I'd hold onto all of them. And on top of that, I'm also telling myself not to shop.
Other things to keep myself busy: Helping out with the chores and errands, eating Char Koay Teow, cycling, eating Laksa, taking pictures, eating Char Siew Fan, eating in general, and reading books. Yes, I'm actually reading a book, it's actually been like 2 whole years since I completely finished a book. Crazy.
So I guess I'll just carry on then.
Stay tuned.

Portraiture | Alvin
It was a gorgeous sunny day on a small strip of land next to a stream South-East of Penang Island. This is the very first time I got a taste of ordering someone around, asking him to do this, go there, pose here, jump there, do cartwheels, jump into the river. Of course he refused to do the last two. But nevertheless, I had a great time shooting; grass, chain-linked fence and all. And capturing Alvin's emotion, that of fading euphoria, was a blast.
I truly enjoy shooting photographs of people and I hope this is the first experience of many.
Stay tuned.

Inspiration | Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2011
One of my favourite collections for Spring/Summer 2011, Bottega Veneta sends out non-fussy clothes that transition from formal into everyday wear and nothing too fashion-y. The clothes seem to fit the body with an athletic sense, giving an ease of movement and not too restrictive. And the colours? Sapphire blues, carnelian reds, camp green through beiges, whites and blacks with subtle tonal differences. For me, this is fantastic menswear.
Stay tuned for more.
