Lanvin for H&M

 Well, today is the release of a new line of clothings from lanvin + H&M. She woke up at 6am, queued up with her friends and supposedly squeeze through the crowd to get a few things for me as well. awww, i'm so touched. But, I have absolutely no fashion awareness of what Lavin is. Apparently, it's some super high end brand which I may not have heard of at all. Girls really go the distance for this kind of stuff.



Speaking of fashion, I think my taste is pretty dull these days. It's been fred perry T-shirts and some occasional Zara long Ts. But, I've taken a liking for Japanese brands like Evisu, Y3, etc etc. It's super expensive and I don't see a point in getting fashion apparels from them now (I can't wear those outrageous clothes to work like i used to in school). However, these brand names excite me cos there are designs that is so my style, especially Y3.











Y3 uses simple black and white to great effect. Their high cut shoes cost like SGD 900+ which i think is ridiculous cos i can get 2 Japanese PS3s with that kind of money (this doesn't mean i'm not getting them in the future when i'm super duper rich !). And, she did bought me Bape.

 
How can an ape brand T-shirt cost >$130 for one! I though Silicon wafers were over priced until I took a look at these brands. Seriously, turn into a fashion designer already ! As for shoes, my personal favorite is Onitsuka Tiger but they don't have nice white shoes. So during shopping last sunday, I settled for a pair of Puma whites.



Sometimes, I wonder why I am an engineer and how do i end up doing engineering. Beats me left right center.

Wow this is turning into a fashion blog

Had a nice meal today at Al Forno's with my colleague. It's nice to have a good meal once in a while and Al Forno is simply my favourite. I send my colleague back home around the area and passed by TJC. It's been 7 years and now i've graduated, working and driving my own car pass the very stupid back gate which I have to climb over last time after soccer practice. I suddenly feel that I aged a lot but deep inside, the proud, childish and opinionated boy still lives on. :)

Of passion

It sickens me that people around me have either no passion in anything they do or it burns out quickly.

Well actually, this rant is probably due to lack of soccer in recent weeks. I used to play soccer at 6pm everyday around my neighbourhood. Normally, we can get around 8-12 people easily. Back were the days when everyone was super gung-ho about soccer. Eat, sleep, talk soccer, u name it we do it. Nowadays, due to work, NS, girlfriends, etc etc, the numbers decrease to a pathetic number. Fair enough, not everyone is as "free" as me. But even on weekends, gathering 8 is still a problem (1 team = 4 players). I don't get it. If you really have a passion for something, won't you sacrifice some time for it? Dun just say "I love soccer" when in fact, it's just a "hobby" or something to kill time with. Now that I have started work, I will still drive down like a madman from office to try to make it back in time for soccer, albeit late. For the past 18 years of my life, I still hold soccer firmly as my "top 3 love-of-my-life". I'm proud to say that my passion never die one bit.

Speaking of passion, I dun understand how so many people can get by being sucked into a routine without much ahead directions. Feels like a living corpse if you ask me. Passion are reserved for those who truly want to live life. Even if it's collecting stamps, if you have passion, you truly deserve my respect.

Having a car

I wonder why after having my own car, I seem to stay at home more than usual.

Maybe there's the other factor called work fatigue.

Anyways, I still love my Mitsubishi :)

Second awakening

shit, i think i just had my second awakening in the 26 years of my life.

the medicine is definitely doing some shit to me

I want to find meaning

in all the mundane, routine things i do in life. However, I see that it is impossible. We'll have to look beyond the small things in life and start zooming out at the bigger picture. Having some time thinking about it (partially cos I'm sick on a Sunday morning), I conclude that traveling is surely the way to experience life. It is the fastest way to understand yourself and what we want in life (Solution to quarter age crisis ! I should write a book !)

Maybe, we should all sell everything we have, do traveling for a year before settling down at a destination we see fit.

Alas ! All this is just a dream, i'm going back to the rat race tomorrow.

Oh, there's always an extra passenger seat available

Lessons from work

One important thing i've learnt in the two months is that data don't lie

making the data talk to you

dig deep enough, there's always a solution amidst all the numbers


conclusion: learn to love the numbers

Materialism at a cross road

what is real happiness ?

Recently, I've read an article about how to spend your money to generate maximum joy. Apparently, the article points out the fact that spending on vacations, hobbies and charities brings about more joy than if the money was spent on materialistic entities. That includes car, house, luxury bags etc etc. But why? I ask myself do I really feel that way. And sadly, the answer is no. Everyone becomes increasingly materialistic as they grow older.

A sermon I heard recently also mentions that when babies enter the world (right out of their mother's womb), their hands are clenched to a fist, as though they are holding to something. When people die (the pastors seen quite a fair bit i suppose), their palms are always open, like they have learn to let go and set free.

Is pursuing all these materialistic endeavors really what I wan? I honestly don't have an answer, simply cos I don't want to let go. I have so many wants and a strong desire to acquire all of them. Normally, people say that when someone gives up materialism, it's not because they are really pursuing "happiness" just that they give up. It's like a sore loser way of saying I'm out of the rat race. But, I honestly have seen genuine people who wants out of this chaotic mess and they really seem happier than most of the white-collars.

Life is complicated because we've made it that way. We can make it simple by returning our frame of mind to that of a child. Recall what makes you happy as a child- is it a afternoon playtime with your friends or 6pm cartoons on television?

Why can't all of us learn to let go and just pursue what can makes us happy instead of what we think can make us happy? Easier said than done.

Will see that in 3 years time. peace out
