Joy of Books?

I'm not sure if you know but I'm not much of a bookworm except manga & comics.

This guy who made this incredible timelapse obviously have the LOVE for books, music, photography, cinematography and for the store in general.

I seriously need to do some reading get inspired with stories. Anyone got books to recommend? Like short/twisted/interesting stories?

Blogger's influence in Fashion

Street Etiquette is a fashion blog website that I visit regularly because of Joshua and Travis' eye for style and not just going for high-end expensive clothing.

They have developed a huge fan base over the years from Look Book to their own website. They explain their pieces in detail so people can see their insight about their taste and eye for style.

This video they again lets us go into their world and let us understand how bloggers impacted the fashion industry over the years and the roles they are starting to play in the coming years.

Coffee for the needed

Came across this inspiring video about the natural disasters that happened in Japan.

Sometimes you don't need to donate money or go to Japan and help rebuild their communities. If you want to help there's got to be ways.

The guy is serving coffee for those who lost their business. The man behind camera is documenting the incidents. There's many ways to contribute and help out if you want to.

The only problem is, do you want to?

Toy Story Short

I just found out that there's a short film after Toy Story 3 and it's about Ken & Barbie!!! This is only a glimpse of it though if you want to watch it I think you have to buy the DVD or go to watch a Pixar in a cinema and they should play it before screening the feature.

When I was searching for this video I also found out that Toy Story 4 might be coming out at the end of this year!!! I hope that would not disappoint because Toy Story 3 wrapped up perfectly.

Rides at Landmarks

Wouldn't this be pretty fun and convenient if it happens?

Haters are gonna hate

I don't really find Edison Chen's style particularly stylish so I don't see myself going to their store JUICE in Hong Kong buying any CLOT products.

But I guess I'm just a hater? Anyway in this video he is gonna "modify" a pair of nike shoes for a Nike X CLOT collaboration and he basically just sands the surface of the shoe, making it appear "worn out".

I personally hate the idea of buying torn and worn clothing because I believe in buying a new item for wear & tear. So basically I think Edison looked like a retard here for 13:25...can't believed I watched this shit...and the cinematography was unstable and constantly out of focus.

Anyway comment below if you agree with me or support Mr. Chen

Creativity Goes A Long Way

I personally think that if you are a creative person naturally then life would be much fun and easy.

Harsh boss at work, limited material for projects, denied access for information. All can be solved if you are creative.

How to propose with a budget?

Be Creative

New Balance

This is just the behind the scenes video of the campaign they are doing with their shoe NB574.

I have been telling my friends for a while that I want a pair of NB and this video explains why. The range of colour ways, the flexibility to pair it with sporty or casual or with chinos. It's a really dynamic shoe that you can wear in almost any occasion except ones that needs to be perfectly suited up.

I'm also excited to see this video because of the camera equipment they use. Very similar to what me and my friends have and we will soon too make incredible videos.

I absolutely cannot wait.

Tuggers


It's one of my friends' cat and it's really fluffy and cute like a Totoro!!!

It gave me a eye allergy after I did a photo shoot of him though...

Culture X Skateboard

These guys documents different people invading other countries and skate in their local areas.

I think it's a new take on skating and culture. How locals react when foreigners bring american street culture in to their territory.

This video documents the things the Chinese skaters went through when they went to Mongolia to make a skating video.

I like their style too.

Jamie's Italian

First Food Blog

Vince Ha-Hau and I went to the Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Sydney for a dinner. The food was great and Vince put down some notes about the place.

Here's some of the notes he wrote down:

Atmosphere

  • Stylish yet relaxing
  • nice date place
  • would come back just for environment
Food:

Italian Nachos
  • Fried Buffalo Ricotta Ravioli was crisp and golden yellow, flavours of the ricotta wasn't over powering which worked well
  • Sauce, the "angry" side gave a kick in the pallet like a salsa
  • Complimented very well with the saltiness of the ravioli.
 
Prawn Linguini 
  • Flavoursome, great textures pasta was al dente.
  • The broth was infused with the flavours of prawn with a spicy after taste, it all compliments each other especially the rocket as the bitterness is intense when eaten itself, not when eaten together though.
Crab & Squid Ink Risotto

  • Due to the ink, black food doesn't look appealing, however the flavous was brilliant & the risotto was cooked perfectly.
  • I (Samuel) personally though this was great though not enough cause we ordered the smaller size. The risotto was nice and crunchy the flavours was packed with punches.


The Ultimate Brownie
  • Good presentation
  • Great vanilla ice-cream - smooth real vanilla flavour.
  • Brownie is nice, hot & rich with chocolate flavour.
  • However it taste too soft & moist felt more like a chocolate cake not a brownie.


He forgot to write his dessert.

  • .I only remember his dessert was better overall.

This was a great place to eat consistent above average food and to chat and share ideas.

Very relaxing, good music, service and surroundings.

Sure will come remember and come back again some time.

Another day with Pinwide

It's so easy to mount on the pinwide and decide start shooting everything.

I guess I need to improve on the geometry of my composition and geometry of my shots. Be more selective with my choice to take even more interesting shots instead of always aiming at palm trees and shadow.

Any advise on shooting with pinwide?

Elemental Footwear



The weather is harsh these days and during winter it's going to be even tougher.

That's why we need a pair of boots to counter the rain and cold weather so we don't get soggy frozen toes by the end of each day.

Here's a few of my favourite looking pair of boots

Redwings











Prada



I know they arent boots but I would love to be wearing this during winter!!!

Forget Summerwear

Look ahead

Come on... the guys know that summer is dead, there was hardly a day with T, shorts and thongs... and the rain is pouring down on us every second day.

So let's forget the summer dress code and start planning on the winter season.

Here are some photos for inspiration. They are less formal, I've decided not to post collared or shirts because it's not as common as us dressing in casual.

Just click on first photo to scroll
